Garbage as usual. Michael Jackson definitely isn't number 1 and I fail to understand why there are so many 90s and 00s artists on that list? Nothing outstanding came out from those eras. | |

I'm still confused as to why Michael Jackson is number 1 to be honest and how in the fuck are shitty artists like Bojork higher than Marvin Gaye? Donna Summer? Ray Charles? Little Richard? Beyonce is higher than other legends too same with Any Winehouse. Even Mariah fucking Carey is higher than the legends I mentioned 🤣🤣🤣. That list was clearly done by someone who are 80s and 90s babies. As for number 1... Aretha is number 1 in my opinion. I've lost faith🤣 | |

Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross not being in the top 10 is complete insanity...people forget how big Teddy Pendergrass was before his accident...they werent calling him "The Black Elvis" for nothing... where is Levi Stubbs? ..where is David Ruffin??...where are Maurice White and Philip Bailey?... why is Prince at FIFTYTHREE? |

Janis was amazing though. | |

The list was clearly done by someone who were born between the 80s and 90s. Because if that was me. Ain't no way in hell that Mariah Carey, Alicia keys, Beyonce, Bojork, Adele, Mary J Blidge, Lauren Hill wouldn't even make it on the list. As for number 1... Michael Jackson is not number 1. Aretha is for me. [Edited 12/30/20 13:09pm] | |

lol...David Byrne, tho... and i like Talking Heads...but never once in life have i uttered, or heard the words "that David Byrne sure is a great singer...one of the all time greats he is..." and speaking of David Bowie, he's ranked WAY too high here too... i dont wanna say too much about him, because i know he's an icon and role model to a good amount of people here .. but he cant sing either.... just because someone has a fascinating persona and can make a great song, doesnt always mean they are great singers... imagine Bowie or Byrne singing acapella...no, dont...it hurts |

It's okay I guess. I'm glad to see Anohni on it - I don't know who they are, but I'm glad to see them there.  I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

Not going to even bother looking at this list because any greastest singers list that omits Chaka is null and void for me. but I am thinking maybe the folks who came up with this list have never heard of Teddy or Luther. These two, especially Luther, were superstars and iconic in the black community. They were not huge crossover singers. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

one thing that hurt Teddy Pendergrass was the name of the group he started with... for the first couple years of his career, no one really knew his name... they thought HE was Harold Melvin because he was the lead singer of the group...but when he went solo and released his own lps and started touring, he shook up the world... before Prince and MJ, Teddy Pendergrass was the ultimate live performing male solo act...especially for the ladies...he was about to do international tours and movies, then it all came crashing down in a beautiful green Rolls Royce [Edited 12/30/20 15:16pm] |

Jackie Wilson, Sammy Davis Jr., Sam Cooke, Johnny Mathis, Paul Robeson, Jerry Butler, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, James Brown, Korla Pandit, Otis Redding, & Marvin Gaye were around before all 3 of them. Screamin' Jay Hawkins was doing in the 1950s what Alice Cooper became famous for in the 1970s.
