Harle, who is that pic of on your male singer's list-the first pic and who I recognize Dinah and Billie, but who is the other woman-sarah vaughn?
Bobby and El Debarge both have better falsettos than Prince and you are talking to someone who is obsessed with Prince and won't hear a bad word about him. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I'm looking at the list of names in the first post. I didn't see her name on the list. I didn't see a link to click on either.  And where's Percy?  | |

Vocal ability alone (Not necessarily my favourite artists)
Male: 1. Bill Withers 2. Sam Cooke 3. Marvin Gaye Female: 1. Whitney Houston (She could hold notes like no other, clear, controlled and never over the top ahem... Aretha) 2. Nina Simone 3. Annie Lennox | |

I'm not here for copycats Duffy could NEVER compare to Amy's vocals.
Amy's phasing, power and technique >>   | |

Amy's voice can make a grown ass man cry! and she could sing Duffy under the table! Duffy has a cute voice but not as intriguing as Amy's. and yes, Amy could sing all of Duffy's material and make it 100% better. Amy rearranges her own songs live. Duffy is just another one of the many girl's who is influenced by Amy | |

trueiopian, who's in your top 10? | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
No particular order because it's a crime to rank greatness. If your great, your just great.
Females: Whitney Houston--even though she made me cry by butchering 'I Will Always Love You'...my heart got a small crack in it after hearing that travesty, but I still love me some Whitney. Mariah Carey Anita Baker Sade Jennifer Hudson Christina Aguilera Celine Dion Gladys Knight Patti LaBelle Stephanie Mills Shanice Etta James Minnie Ripperton Donna Summer Sarah McLachlan Amel Larrieux Billie Holiday Lisa Fischer CeCe Winans Yolanda Adams Males: Luther Vandross Prince Maxwell Freddy Mercury Lionel Richie Smokey Robinson Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder Gerald Levert D'Angelo Van Hunt Sam Cook Peabo Bryson Tevin Campbell Micheal Bolton Eric Benet Babyface Donny Hathaway James Brown Steven Tyler Prince Rogers Nelson

Duffy > Amy. I'd take Adele and Corinne Bailey Rae over Duffy and Amy anyday of the week, but Amy is better than Duffy. Prince Rogers Nelson

Corrine?  How random!? she shouldn't even be ranked beside Adele.
Amy and Duffy > Corrine and Adele. | |

Amy and Duffy > Corrine and Adele. OMG! Corrine's new album is fantastic. Duffy is really the only one out of place on that list for me. Not because she's bad but because she's no where near as good as the other three. All just my  Prince Rogers Nelson
