This is hard! I think I will leave out some of my personal favorites and just rank based on pure vocal ability. Madonna is my favorite artist ever but I can't put her on the same vocal list as Chaka Khan. In no particular order...
The Ladies: Chaka Khan Erykah Badu Teena Marie Patti LaBelle Minnie Riperton Deniece Williams Mariah Carey Amy Winehouse Renee Diggs Cheryl Lynn Nikka Costa Sinead O'Connor Jocelyn Brown Jennifer Holliday Sarah Vaughan Phyllis Hyman Alanis The Gents: Stevie Donny Bobby Debarge Jimmy Scott Maxwell Prince Eric Benet Kenny Latimore Philip Bailey DJ Rogers Overall, I LOVE stylized singers with big ranges, big vibrato, interesting ad-libs. Male falsetto singers do it for me too. [Edited 5/14/10 11:13am] "Keep in mind that I'm an artist...and I'm sensitive about my shit."--E. Badu | |

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 Yea, her new album is nice. But IMHO, Duffy is the better singer. | |
