I wanna let people now that this is only an OPINION not FACTS because I've seen people bash on this video but it was already said in the video AND in the comments
You know that some ppl dont understand what an opinion is 😂 for example: they will think their opinion is a fact but cant take someone else's opinion if thats différent from theirs (sorry if my sentence is not correct)
@@Litalici0us They prolly some narcicistic person that can't stand a criticism and play childish. They literally are like toxic fans. I accept critisms of my idol and if you say something wrong about them, i kept in mind that 'this is only an opinion'. brUh like people i the comments are starting a world war 3. (Also no i did not fight with anybody in the comments bc 1. I aint have no time 2. It's no use since they don't listen. Also this is also not to target anybody in some way i just wanted some disclaimer)
@@Litalici0us I appreciate your opinion but your distinction between vocalist and singer or vocals and singing is very different from mine. Not wrong just an opinion. For me vocals or vocalist is a catch all term. Singers are vocalist but vocalist are not necessarily singers. For example, death metal vocalist not death metal singer. Another would be a rapping. I don't consider rapping a type of singing but I do consider it a type of vocals.Both are opinions and I hope you can see my point of view as well.
The fact Beyoncé has been in the game and been singing constantly for 20 yrs with not even a single vocal damage should be enough to show how technique is very very very important. same with Mariah. She defently isn't in her prime but that fact that she is still able to sing perfectly almost 30 yrs in to her career is mind blowing. They def are legends.
You’re comments really funny LMFAO. Beyoncé is not legendary at all singing wise. She’s a PERFORMER. And yes her vocals have def slipped plus she be using back tracks like a mf and be lip syncing. She’s not all that
@@eDryden97 what the hell are you talking about, she’s a star rated vocalist with 4 octaves next to mariah, aretha and whitney 💀 inform yourself and don’t be biased just cause you don’t like her.
Beyoncé has one of the most consistent voices. There are plenty of valid criticisms of Beyoncé, but limited vocal ability isn’t one of them. She’s both a vocalist and performer. The age when a vocalist could see huge success SIMPLY on vocal ability ended with Whitney, Celine and Mariah. Audiences stopped being satisfied with that. Beyoncé could stand and sing and blow minds, but that’s not the era we are in if you want to be the biggest. The great thing about Mariah is that her voice has several layers and dimensions. So as her voice has changed she’s adapted by highlighting a different facet of her own vocal ability. If her belts are a little weaker, she may take that moment to highlight her falsetto, or her low register, etc.
@@JoanRudith preach! It's crazy when I think about it that there's not a single person in the music industry that is doing what beyonce is doing. The woman truly shows where dedication,hardwork and work ethic can take you. She perfected her vocals since a young age and was trained classically. Now she's the greatest entertainer alive and also imo the greatest vocalist of our generation. Literally crazy and mind blowing how the biggest celeb of our generation is a woman and more exact a black woman. Bey,rih and Nicki really makes me proud to be black.😭🙌🏾
Mariah doesn't get enough respect. Her range and agility is unmatched, not to mention her impeccable songwriting and grand persona. She's a living legend and set the standard for generations to come.
How does she not get enough respect? Everybody talks about her being one of the best vocalists of all time. If this isn't enough for you I don't know what to say at this point.
Yes, but I think she has earned her flowers. Plus her Christmas song will get her played forever. It’s a great song and technically difficult. I really love Nicole Schzinger, I think she is underrated. P!nk is also a great vocalist and songwriter.
Is it weird that I love the category “outside” singers. I love the uniqueness about their voice and their tone. It’s so fascinating and actually pleasing to hear. Like when I hear Rihanna I know it’s her. I’ll never have to guess or think about who it is.
I’m the same! I love unique tones and quirky approaches. I think Erykah Badu def deserves to be in this category as well as Billy Holiday Feel like Debby Harry belongs on the list too. Her Blondie vocals have been very influential for both rock and pop vocalists.
That’s why Riri is my favourite. She has such a beautiful unique tone and I have yet to hear anyone imitate her vocals anywhere near correctly. She’s a unicorn 🦄
YASSSS!!! My favorite part is when you highlight the legendary vocalists (Whitney, Aretha, Barbara Streisand, Celine, and Mariah) legacy with modern day vocalists (Ariana, Tori Kelly, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson) that are heavily influenced by them.I can tell Lady Gaga studied Barbara and Judy Garland as well. Her voice is pure theatre.I love how you highlight natural singers like Jazmine Sullivan, and H.E.R. I remember when H.E.R was a little girl singing like that. So when she came out I already knew she would be a star and pretty knew of her talent already. I LOVE This!!! Great video (applause )
To me Christina Aguilera is mind boggling. The fact that she has been singing in your not so conventional way and not sticking to vocal training yet 20 plus years later her voice sounds renewed and amazingly good is true testament of her how robust and insane her instrument is. We are yet to see more from her because there is the undiscovered part of her voice we haven't seen as yet until she decides to take intense vocal training like beyonce.
Xtina has barely sang in the last decade compared to her 1999-2007 period. Her commercial success had dimmed drastically. She had just started touring again after the last album, in a much smaller scale (as in less dates), not many tv performances if at all ….. she’s had more than enough time to rest her vocals, she hasnt been going non stop for well over a decade.
@@fuckurbody Yes but we also have to put into account that she was signing professionally since she was small up until her 2010-2011 where she was still active. We have to remember Bionic and Burlesque came out at that time and she needed to do extra singing and live performances for promotion. She didn’t really rest as she made an album which was lotus and it wasn’t until 2013-2018 when she actually rested somewhat as we also have to take into account “Say something” which is working in the studio non stop. That’s only 5 years of resting somewhat since she did have some performances in between. Then came Liberation(2016-17 recording it) released (2018) and she went on two tours that lasted up until the start of 2020. And, she also continued off recording a new version of Mulan doing live performances for those and then some other ones while working on her Spanish and English albums. AGUILERA came out in 2021 and she has been performing non stop for the past almost two years to say. And she is still recording according to sources a deluxe version of Aguilera alongside her English album. So, she did rest for a little, but not for much. She has been really active in the past 5 years which is surprising coming from her.
This video is 30 minutes long, i hope you understand that i was not able to include all singers i wanted to talk about ! REMINDER: MY VIDEO IS SUBJECTIVE (i said it 100th times in the video) NOT FACTUAL ****FIRST PART: SINGERS*** AD + "Basic Singers Category" 0:13 "Atypical Singers Category" 3:31 "Potential Vocalist Singers Category" 6:45 ****SECOND PART:VOCALISTS**** "Intuitive Vocalists" 9:05 "Baby Vocalists" 13:07 "Confirmed Vocalists" 16:16 "Legendary Vocalists" 22:47 ****LAST PART: YOUR OPINION**** Class these singers in the comment section ! 31:23
I have a serious question: why would you care listening to the legendary vocalist (of your choice) if they dont possess the quality of your-labeled-intuitive vocalists??? Why would you buy a record if they dont sell the emotion but hit notes. And when you mention confirmed vocalists, I doubt there is any other artist of our generation that is more “confirmed”/praised than Christina Aguilera. Maybe you can research more online next time. This categorization is maybe unnecessary: perhaps singers vs. artists would be more appropriate
Dommage que pour une vidéo aussi longue et avec autant de travail je ne soit pas bilingue.. J'avoue que j'suis vraiment triste qu'elle ne soit pas en français. Pour autant la vidéo est vraiment incroyable et mon dieu UNE DEMI-HEURE !! Fin bref juste génial (et si un jour te viens l'envie de la traduire🤷🏾♀️😅😂)
@@hibo9836 désolée en fait mes trois dernières vidéos n'ont pas fonctionné et j'ai été épuisée de les faire donc là j'ai été un peu démoralisée donc je n'ai pas voulu la traduire 😬
@@Dukkyjames200 You need space for high notes. So unless you're not singing opera, the higher you go, the more you need to open up horizontally too. So yeah, the smile sensation or real smile helps with high notes or to brighten the sound.
For sure! And Billie Holiday in the atypical category. I think Billy was prob one of the first successful popular singers who used an atypical approach.
Y’all sleeping on Rihanna’s vocals man. She’s extremely underrated in regards to vocality, not success and relevancy. She has so much grit, emotions, power in her vocals. When she was on the voice as a key adviser, she did an amazing and she knows her shit man, she knows her techniques and how to attack them properly It’s sad people only acknowledge or recognize her other mainstream songs that don’t showcase her real vocal ability. People always tend to discredit or not recognize her flexibility as a vocalist in regards to range. Yeah for sure she has her days just like everyone In this video. BUT BRO RIHANNA IS A TRUE SINGER YOU CAN TELL FROM THE GRIT IN HER VOICE AND EMOTIONS SHE PRESENTS IN EVERY NOTE SHE SINGS.
You have put my thoughts in to words. Thankyou! This is what I have been saying about rihanna. She knows her shit and she knows how to really deliver the emotions. Some one once said" when Rihanna grabs the mic you're about to feel exactly what she's feeling"
Mariah had everything to be a legend and she inspired even more than Whitney or Celine or Aretha. Mariah was a full package of physical beauty, writing/composing skills, 90's to 2000's branding, and legendary range of vocals, plus a fairytale of ups and downs. With all her achievements, she could still have more, just with the right people around her.
Never a full package as her stage performances left a lot to be desired. She rarely toured and most of her concerts were vocally dubbed abs airbrushed. She cannot compare to Whitney nor Celine
@@Bahia82 The concert are not dubbed but edited in studio for the audio quality For VHS or recorded in two takes and unfortunately they ruin her voice, muffled the true Power and Resonance of her voice like MSG. Mariah has stage presence, do you need proof? lol and is praised by many people, that's why on every credible list Mariah's live performances top whitney and celine , so what you said is totally subjective. Both whitney and Celine Lip the climax of her most "difficult songs" in her prime unlike Mariah and they sing basic songs that anyone can sing, Not even remotely close to the complexity of Mariah's songs. Don't compare cover singers to real artists, songwriter, producer, composer, musical genius... They are not in the same league, Mariah is up there with Stevie Wonder, MJ, she doesn't deserve these comparisons. She is a better vocalist AND artist
If Rihanna stopped being lazy about her technique and for once stopped smoking she could be a vocalist. She has a huge range just listen to higher, she can easily access her head notes (billboard music awards), she has a unique tone. I love rih with all my heart but i wish she cared about her voice more like i dont want her to ruin her voice and stopped making music in general. Her inconsistency in general made many people believe she cant sing or is untalented which she def is not. I hope for a huge ballad on r9 that will shut them up lmao. Love your videos btw❤
@@eDryden97 oh she definitely can sing, thou she’s very inconsistent, I don’t really think her heart is in music anymore with all the Fenty businesses she’s creating
@@chrisarmelseyibayebek4977 coming from the same person who claimed and tried to argue beyonce is not a vocalist in my other comments you must not know shit about singing and have a hard time reading and understanding things. Where in my comment did I say she is a starrated vocalist? Although it is true she is indeed a vocalist in my comment I said she should stop smoking and practice then she can become an even more good vocalist.i ain't trying to argue with a hater but can send you hundreds of links showing Rihanna singing flawlessly. Reading is a basic skill Hun you should know how to understand what you read.
@@enriquepmayen1699 imo she is trying to make money and secure her bag. she released 8 albums back to back so she def has worn out. She is a legend that has nothing to prove in music anymore so she can take however much time she can.
I know the queen of Hip Hop Soul has her issues, mostly pitch and lack of range, but Mary J Blige has HELLA soul and is intuitive as fuck. Put some respect on her name. Another omission is one of her biggest inspirations, Anita Baker.
Beyoncé is definitely legendaric she’s inspired so many of the new-gen singers(Ariana grande, tori Kelly,etc) ! These People constantly praise her vocal runs and technique and say they try to mimick her
@@koelael2660 but basic ass facts as Christina being undeniable one of the greatest singer/vocalist of her generation and doing her like that makes this list a joke. It's like sleeping on Mariah, Whitney, Celine and so on. It makes your opinion being worthless being blind or deaf on simple facts.
Jazmine Sullivan's vocals are legendary status. In years to come her vocals will be rediscovered by another generation and she will be imulated, technically she already is. She is the best!
Thanks for all of your hard work on this video, it's a lot to uncover! I'd vote for moving Beyonce to Legendary section, but since that's subjective video, you do you girl! I never really thought about it, but it's true that most passionate vocalists have been dreaming about vocal career since they were little and practiced a lot - you make a good point with that! Thank you for all the research!
i love shakira so much, she is so beautiful and talented. I honestly think Lana is a good vocalist at this point, she's always on pitch and has great tone and resonance in her head voice
Mariah is my all time favourite vocalist but whenever I see Whitney, I just want to cry. Yes, the artists are responsible for themselves but let’s be real here; the US media habitually disrespects & denigrates legendary women. The media and sadly, the public contributed to Whitney’s early demise. How do talentless people dare to comment on Whitney’s and Mariah’s vocals during her later years? Like S T F U
@@janeblog1900 huh I’m sorry but I 100% disagree she is most definitely not tone deaf! And I saw in another comment from you saying she relays on auto tune? Haha no when a produce literally confirmed she didn’t use any auto tune on her back to basics, stripped albums and she most definitely didn’t use it on her latest album either. If you watch her tour videos from 2019/2020 you will see that she is actually very consistent.
Brandy should be in the confirmed vocalist tier. She is leaps and bounds ahead of almost everyone else in that category. And since when has Alicia Keys been a "confirmed vocalists"? She has a lot of widely known "issues". And Beyoncé should be in the Legendary category since she's already better than a few of the vocalists in that category.
i was expecting those comments. my video is not based on technique only. as much as i love beyoncé i dont think she vocally inspired many generations yet her technique is amazing but i really do not consider she has her place between whitney and mariah (the only one i placed as high is lara bc of her IMPECABLE technique + longetivity) About Brandy she is a confirmed vocalist for sure, but sill i consider her as a freestyler when that's what she does the most (being a freestyler doesnt mean she does not have technique) at the end my video is subjective so i'm the only one who can say where these artists belong in my own video lol
@Butterfly Era Beyoncé has a worldwide impact but i dont think she does yet vocally ! A little bit like lady gaga she is mostly praised for her performing skills, being the total package also shes still "young" to belong to this catégory.
@Butterfly Era i believe the very New générations of singers is inspired by her vocally like Perrie, Tori, Dinah etc. But thats very small comparing to Mariah, Aretha etc. Impact
really thank you that was so long to make !!! 4 hours (at least) for each category including researches (itvs, performances), what to write and video editing
I'd put Leona in confirmed. Notorious for her vocals and nothing else, and talented since childhood, and in her prime compared to the greats of course. Nicole is definitely confirmed as well.
Love the video, here is where I'd put these singers: Basic: Jhene (love her though), Taylor (she tries though lol) Atypical: Billie Eilish, Fergie, Janis Joplin, Britney Spears Potential: Sia Intuitive: Kelly Rowland, Nicole, Baby: Jessie J, Perrie, Jenifer Hudson Confirmed: Leona lewis Legendary: Diana Ross, Etta James, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan Don't know Amy Lee
Amy Lee '13Dec1981' leadsinger in American rockband Evanescence(1995-present)1sthit'Bring me to life' was in 2004 some sayshe's 3.6 octaves range spanning from a low A2 an E6 in full head voice not sure if she's a dramatic soprano3.5 octaves(Eb3E7)or mezzosoprano 3octaves1semitone (Eb3E6) th-cam.com/video/3YxaaGgTQYM/w-d-xo.html.'My Immortal' th-cam.com/video/5anLPw0Efmo/w-d-xo.html. Taken from this website therangeplanet.proboards.com/thread/1877/amy-lee
I'd put Sia in the Intuitive category, she is definetely not a very technique singer, but she got a good technique ideed and her vocals are pure Soul, she's absolutely one of the best singers currently when it comes singing with emotion. It's a pity she's losing her voice...
I disagree with Jhene Aiko. I believe she belongs in the atypical category. Her style is very her own, her voice is distinct. I love Ciara and her music but she is not a natural born vocalist so hence basic and her music is average. Taylor is basic but only vocally, regardless she has influenced an entire generation with her style, music writing, and melding pop with other styles of music. If you have seen Jhene's Tiny Desk concert, I feel that removes her from basic. Her voice is literally healing and angelic. And on top of that, her music is timeless, iconic, and memorable. All her as an individual and that is what sets her apart. Yes, she is not a ballad artist, but yet her music reaches all audiences, young and old. And she proves you don't have to sing like Alicia Keys or Beyonce to have music reach people.
Amy lee would def go into unique for me. I absolutely adore they way she sings and I wish she would be included in more of these vocalist videos. I feel like she gets overlooked as a vocalist because she doesn’t sing pop or rnb but she’s truly talented.
This argument is tired. She had background singers who were mixed into her older songs that they demo’d. Ashanti and Cristina Milian have already confirmed they didn’t ghost sing for her, nor did she steal from them. Ashanti sings background and adlibbed on 2 of Jlos songs, wrote 1 of them and was in the video for it. Cristina Milian did the chorus to Play. And Natasha Ramos sang background on 4 of Jlos songs, including Jenny from the block. Brandi gave Jlo her song “Ryde or Die” and Jlo recorded it, and left Brandi’s adlib vocals. That’s it. This practice has been done by Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Toni Braxton, even Beyonce.
@@meandepiphany Maybe Jlo circa 2003. But Jlo in 2021 is legitimately a good singer. I do what y’all hear now. Her Selena Tribute from 2015 was literally perfect vocally.
@@matutahoot No, she doesn't sound good Sir. She sounds like a cat in heat. I don't know if you sing or have a musical ear but Jlo ain't it. Great actress though. She should stick to that.
Ok you missed Keke Wyatt...she is a BEAST! And ever heard of the Clark Sister's? They changed the gospel game! And Beyonce is LEGENDARY and Alicia Keys is basic!
Yeah the creator is wrong for not putting them in. Alicia is kinda basic, I agree, but Beyoncé, while she can sing, she ain't Aretha, Whitney or Mariah 🥴🤷🏾♂️, and that's not shade, that's facts
Agree with the first few, disagree on Alicia and Beyoncé. I am a big Alicia fan, although she may not fit in the confirmed category. Beyoncé has amazing technique and I think her lower gritty registers and growls are the only interesting thing about her voice, to me, but that’s totally personal. I prefer quirky singers and deep powerful voices
Personally i feel Beyonce should be up a category. She jas the perfect technoque and has definitely inspired so many young singers. She also has oncredible musicianship and is very passionate when performing. Just bc she dances doesnt mean she doesnt deserve to be in this spot. Loved the video tho. Like Bey has everything u listed that Lara Fabian jas but has better stamina imo so wth
Love your videos! One thought: Patti LaBelle was shown complimenting Ariana Grande but wasn’t categorized herself. Patti is an absolutely legendary vocalist and definitely should’ve been included.
I think Tori and Ariana really have found themselves in recent years. They should be confirmed vocalists especially Tori. Beyonce is a legend at this point
I was rocking with you til we got to Alicia Keys being a confirmed vocalist! Stop. What’s interesting is when you talked about singers seeing their voices as secondary. Alicia has ALWAYS said she considers herself a musician more than a vocalist. But somehow you see differently. Idk man. She’s far too inconsistent to be in that category with those vocalists.
I think he more so meant that she’s that she’s had a lot of experience and compared to other singers her musicianship and songwriting skills are undeniably matched prince gave her a co-sign you know he don’t like nobody 😂😂
I think her inconsistency has a lot to do with her comments in the video. She writes tons of tricky higher notes, even though she’s clearly an alto. She likes to push herself. If she stayed in her natural range more, she would be much more consistent. But I agree, she may fit better into another category.
Wow...JoJo was so slept on...including by me. I'm impressed. Most of the singers and vocalists in the video I really like. Great job putting the clips together. One more thing, in general, Kelly Rowland gets virtually no shine in videos like this (Litalic0us gave her an honorable mention) and it's criminal lol!
We've got millions of beautiful voices u have to sound unique mold ur own part. Not sounding like someone else cuz ur want to follow vocal technique. Atypical I stan
Could you please make a part two with the singers mentioned at the end of the video??? I'd love to watch it and I bet that the most of people who has watched this one would love it too
Right..shes def. a beast. Its so sad she is underrated and i think its because the kind of genre that suits her voice doesnt belong to the era she is in..if she was in the 80s/90s, she'd be a legend too.
Yea cause I was watching dream girls the other night she and Anika Noni Rose sing circles around her. I wish they would’ve given her more songs in the movie
True! But you also have to remember that this is base off of opinion. Aaliyah died young, she wasn’t nowhere near her prime. But you are right, she had a lot of potential.
This list is spot on. I think tho that Tori should be in confirmed vocalist category meanwhile Beyoncé should be in the legendary category. Tori imo is almost as skilled as Jojo. Beyoncé what more could I say hahahahaaahhha
@Motown Gayes I know of an underrated vocalists you might love. Idk if you know her already or not but her name is Faouzia. She’s in my opinion one of the best vocalists of this generation up there with Ariana and Tori.
Please don’t hate me I’m like the biggest Beyoncé fan but am I the only who feels like she should ease on the growls on the high notes for now? I’m not saying she has never not growled high notes but since the FWT I’ve been wanting to hear more high notes that weren’t growled
@butterflies and waffles and when she sings ave maria I'd love it if she sang the "ave dominus" without growling. When she sings freedom not everything needs to be growled. *Sometimes* during the Crazy in Love riff and the "yoouurr loooveee" after the riff, I wish she didn't growl it. same with songs like I Care, APESHIT, If I Were a Boy, Halo, 1+1, Love On Top, etc. (at some points in the songs where she growls for like 8 lines straight) The only growl I really want to stay is the Me, Myself, and I growl.
@@butterfliesandwaffles6335 I love her growls sometimes but when all the belts are growling it pulls me out of the songs and the performance in general
@@blairturner139 precisely I do not agree because for me I find that Beyonce does things with her voice that other great vocalists would not do with so much flow
Intuitive Vocalists are the best type of vocalists IMO! I love spontaneoity and real musicality, not just rehearsed "by the book" vocals.. I love vocalists who can twist a song in the spur of the moment and emotion.. Really good selection of vocalists mentioned there especially Christina Aguilera because she is the most spontaneous vocalist I've seen.. Also, Fantasia, could be another great example of Intuitive vocalist..
@@estera4176 i agree that its not that healthy but she has been using it since forever and admit that it isn't healthy.... Nevertheless love how many new stars are using her style in singing
This was a great video to highlight the difference in singers, without bashing them( as I saw many of those before on youtube) cause we should remember that singing is a artform and everybody should be allowed to expres their art. As it will resonate with someone. But we should also acknowledge that some people just have amazing talent and skill beyond comprehension. But al types of artists are appreciated.
I have to say the intuitive singers are the ones that keep me coming back. I respect people dedicated to their craft who study their voice but I need to FEEL
Loved this video it was for the most part spot on. I want to point out how I loved that u put singer JoJo in the confirmed vocalist category one because she rarely gets the recognition of how great she is really, and 2 she rightfully so deserves the placement that u gave her. Because I've tried to tell people for the longest that what makes JoJo one of the greatest to ever do it is because she's crafted her own vocal singing style that's unique to her and without really sounding like other singers when it comes to her technique! So to see someone else see what I see I loved that!! So thank u so much for this video and giving respect to one of my favorite stand alone singers in the game Ms. JoJo!!❤👐🏾
This video was PHENOMENAL! You did such a great job 👏 I would have never guessed that English wasn't your first language 👀 you did that! Great job! Thank you for the video!
Can you make another video with male singers, please? This video got me rlly interested about what male singers would be included on your top tier list.
i don’t really know what was the end goal of this video tbh 😂 but jazmine is a TRUE VOCALIST. should be in confirmed category but honestly a lot of these choices are just weird.
In my book the only ledendary vocalist is whitney. No saying everyone is bad, but whitney is really just another level than all the other. And celine dion too.
Here’s the main difference between singers and vocalists for me: singers make me go “Aw that’s cute” and vocalists make me cry, piss myself, shit myself, and throw up.
I wanna let people now that this is only an OPINION not FACTS because I've seen people bash on this video but it was already said in the video AND in the comments

How does she not get enough respect? Everybody talks about her being one of the best vocalists of all time. If this isn't enough for you I don't know what to say at this point.
Mariah put j-lo in her place!! her voice is 💯🔥🔥💥
Yes, but I think she has earned her flowers. Plus her Christmas song will get her played forever. It’s a great song and technically difficult.
I really love Nicole Schzinger, I think she is underrated.
P!nk is also a great vocalist and songwriter.
Knew Celine Whitney & Mariah would be top tier ❤️💛💚
My girls are that powerful.
And thats on period
of course, they're the "Vocal Trinity" for multiple reasons👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
...Ew, Nasaline...? 🤨
The vocal trinity
Is it weird that I love the category “outside” singers. I love the uniqueness about their voice and their tone. It’s so fascinating and actually pleasing to hear. Like when I hear Rihanna I know it’s her. I’ll never have to guess or think about who it is.
I’m the same! I love unique tones and quirky approaches. I think Erykah Badu def deserves to be in this category as well as Billy Holiday
Feel like Debby Harry belongs on the list too. Her Blondie vocals have been very influential for both rock and pop vocalists.
That’s why Riri is my favourite. She has such a beautiful unique tone and I have yet to hear anyone imitate her vocals anywhere near correctly. She’s a unicorn 🦄
Same EVEN THEY HAVE THE BEST MUSIC
Yep
YASSSS!!! My favorite part is when you highlight the legendary vocalists (Whitney, Aretha, Barbara Streisand, Celine, and Mariah) legacy with modern day vocalists (Ariana, Tori Kelly, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson) that are heavily influenced by them.I can tell Lady Gaga studied Barbara and Judy Garland as well. Her voice is pure theatre.I love how you highlight natural singers like Jazmine Sullivan, and H.E.R. I remember when H.E.R was a little girl singing like that. So when she came out I already knew she would be a star and pretty knew of her talent already. I LOVE This!!! Great video (applause )
Thanks for mentionning h.e.r she is amazingly talented and ignored in vocal vidéos !
@@Litalici0us you're welcome ❤❤
To me Christina Aguilera is mind boggling. The fact that she has been singing in your not so conventional way and not sticking to vocal training yet 20 plus years later her voice sounds renewed and amazingly good is true testament of her how robust and insane her instrument is. We are yet to see more from her because there is the undiscovered part of her voice we haven't seen as yet until she decides to take intense vocal training like beyonce.
Xtina has barely sang in the last decade compared to her 1999-2007 period. Her commercial success had dimmed drastically. She had just started touring again after the last album, in a much smaller scale (as in less dates), not many tv performances if at all ….. she’s had more than enough time to rest her vocals, she hasnt been going non stop for well over a decade.
@@fuckurbody Yes but we also have to put into account that she was signing professionally since she was small up until her 2010-2011 where she was still active. We have to remember Bionic and Burlesque came out at that time and she needed to do extra singing and live performances for promotion. She didn’t really rest as she made an album which was lotus and it wasn’t until 2013-2018 when she actually rested somewhat as we also have to take into account “Say something” which is working in the studio non stop. That’s only 5 years of resting somewhat since she did have some performances in between. Then came Liberation(2016-17 recording it) released (2018) and she went on two tours that lasted up until the start of 2020. And, she also continued off recording a new version of Mulan doing live performances for those and then some other ones while working on her Spanish and English albums. AGUILERA came out in 2021 and she has been performing non stop for the past almost two years to say. And she is still recording according to sources a deluxe version of Aguilera alongside her English album. So, she did rest for a little, but not for much. She has been really active in the past 5 years which is surprising coming from her.
Girl bffr
Yesss... Queen Xtina is my fav boss
This video is 30 minutes long, i hope you understand that i was not able to include all singers i wanted to talk about !

Class these singers in the comment section ! 31:23
I have a serious question: why would you care listening to the legendary vocalist (of your choice) if they dont possess the quality of your-labeled-intuitive vocalists??? Why would you buy a record if they dont sell the emotion but hit notes. And when you mention confirmed vocalists, I doubt there is any other artist of our generation that is more “confirmed”/praised than Christina Aguilera. Maybe you can research more online next time. This categorization is maybe unnecessary: perhaps singers vs. artists would be more appropriate
@@TKK765 thanks for your recommendation, i'll try my best to fit all of your expectations about xtina in my personal opinion based videos :)

One of the greatest not greatest bcz there are a lot more
Shut up
@@beyourself1197 no the greatest there’s no one better than her

her voice is perfect, i love the way she sings
Yes Amy's voice was incredibly special
Jazmine deserves to be confirmed. She literally has ‘runs challenges’ 😭 ands she a very talented writer
Yessssssssssssss

Yes! She is easily confirmed, on her way to legendary imo.
Yesss most definitely

@@morenoborges1176 its F#7, you need to know the note by your self not from delutional fan video.
Just lower 2 or 3 octave you will know its a F#
Am I going mad or isn’t it easier to sing smiling?
@@Dukkyjames200 You need space for high notes. So unless you're not singing opera, the higher you go, the more you need to open up horizontally too. So yeah, the smile sensation or real smile helps with high notes or to brighten the sound.
Rih's emotional delivery makes me weak to my knees & i don't wanna hear anything, she's perfect to me
Yes I love watching her live. Her hand movements kill me every time 😩
i wish rih would do rick music, some soulful rock music. for the love of god, some rock & reggae. rih would kill
@@klremoval1263 Literally! Also I think she mentioned she would be doing some rock influenced music for upcoming albums
@@klremoval1263 What is an example of soulful rock music?
Mariah Carey in her prime is another level compared to her competitors every vocal pedagogue confirmed it
Christina Aguilera is basically already Xtina eversince she was 7 😂😂
I personally think that Ella Fitzgerald was missing on the legendary category
I searched for this comment! How can you not include Ella? HOW!
For sure! And Billie Holiday in the atypical category. I think Billy was prob one of the first successful popular singers who used an atypical approach.
Same!
Y’all sleeping on Rihanna’s vocals man. She’s extremely underrated in regards to vocality, not success and relevancy. She has so much grit, emotions, power in her vocals. When she was on the voice as a key adviser, she did an amazing and she knows her shit man, she knows her techniques and how to attack them properly
It’s sad people only acknowledge or recognize her other mainstream songs that don’t showcase her real vocal ability. People always tend to discredit or not recognize her flexibility as a vocalist in regards to range. Yeah for sure she has her days just like everyone In this video.
BUT BRO RIHANNA IS A TRUE SINGER YOU CAN TELL FROM THE GRIT IN HER VOICE AND EMOTIONS SHE PRESENTS IN EVERY NOTE SHE SINGS.
Nobody said otherwise though
The same could easily be said for Madonna. People always overlook that she did EVITA and that takes from vocal skills to pull that off
@@Hello-qv2fx Actually, plenty people say otherwise 😂
@@emjae2 I mean it relating to the video
You have put my thoughts in to words. Thankyou! This is what I have been saying about rihanna. She knows her shit and she knows how to really deliver the emotions. Some one once said" when Rihanna grabs the mic you're about to feel exactly what she's feeling"

Yessssssssssssss 🥺👉🏾👈🏾❤️
Jazmine Sullivan low-key up there with them too 👀☕
Mariah Carey is uncomparable. She's the greatest
Mariah Carey is the best singer and vocalist ever. 🎤
Mariah had everything to be a legend and she inspired even more than Whitney or Celine or Aretha. Mariah was a full package of physical beauty, writing/composing skills, 90's to 2000's branding, and legendary range of vocals, plus a fairytale of ups and downs. With all her achievements, she could still have more, just with the right people around her.
...in her dream.
Never a full package as her stage performances left a lot to be desired. She rarely toured and most of her concerts were vocally dubbed abs airbrushed. She cannot compare to Whitney nor Celine
@@Bahia82 The concert are not dubbed but edited in studio for the audio quality For VHS or recorded in two takes and unfortunately they ruin her voice, muffled the true Power and Resonance of her voice like MSG. Mariah has stage presence, do you need proof? lol and is praised by many people, that's why on every credible list Mariah's live performances top whitney and celine , so what you said is totally subjective. Both whitney and Celine Lip the climax of her most "difficult songs" in her prime unlike Mariah and they sing basic songs that anyone can sing, Not even remotely close to the complexity of Mariah's songs. Don't compare cover singers to real artists, songwriter, producer, composer, musical genius... They are not in the same league, Mariah is up there with Stevie Wonder, MJ, she doesn't deserve these comparisons. She is a better vocalist AND artist
If Rihanna stopped being lazy about her technique and for once stopped smoking she could be a vocalist. She has a huge range just listen to higher, she can easily access her head notes (billboard music awards), she has a unique tone. I love rih with all my heart but i wish she cared about her voice more like i dont want her to ruin her voice and stopped making music in general. Her inconsistency in general made many people believe she cant sing or is untalented which she def is not. I hope for a huge ballad on r9 that will shut them up lmao. Love your videos btw❤
LMFAO I cackled reading this... she cannot sing bruh
@@eDryden97 oh she definitely can sing, thou she’s very inconsistent, I don’t really think her heart is in music anymore with all the Fenty businesses she’s creating
Stop looking for excuses like "shes lazy bla bla bla" Rihanna is nowhere near a vocalist, shes a decent singer at her very best
@@chrisarmelseyibayebek4977 coming from the same person who claimed and tried to argue beyonce is not a vocalist in my other comments you must not know shit about singing and have a hard time reading and understanding things. Where in my comment did I say she is a starrated vocalist? Although it is true she is indeed a vocalist in my comment I said she should stop smoking and practice then she can become an even more good vocalist.i ain't trying to argue with a hater but can send you hundreds of links showing Rihanna singing flawlessly. Reading is a basic skill Hun you should know how to understand what you read.
@@enriquepmayen1699 imo she is trying to make money and secure her bag. she released 8 albums back to back so she def has worn out. She is a legend that has nothing to prove in music anymore so she can take however much time she can.
When I first heard Shakira’s voice I was like “oh turn it off” but then as soon listened further I became a fan. Her voice is one of a kind!!🙌🏽
🤣🤣 reading this is funny , she is my fav!
not turn it off lmaoooo
I know the queen of Hip Hop Soul has her issues, mostly pitch and lack of range, but Mary J Blige has HELLA soul and is intuitive as fuck. Put some respect on her name. Another omission is one of her biggest inspirations, Anita Baker.
My Life ...🔥
Notice that Chaka was left off the list?
Beyoncé is definitely legendaric she’s inspired so many of the new-gen singers(Ariana grande, tori Kelly,etc) ! These People constantly praise her vocal runs and technique and say they try to mimick her
Yup like every new artist today will say Beyonce is their inspiration not just in singing but as overall artist
How cool... Christina inspired most of today's young singers...Tori, Demi, Sam Smith...the list goes on and on.
How is Christina not a confirmed vocalist?
Exactly. She's inspired so many among her peers as well as younger generations. She's confirmed in my eyes.
She maybe listed as an influencer but not as vocalist because she had poor vocal techniques unlike Mariah!
Did you miss the point of the video where they said it was their opinion not fact?
@@Clonehalle they never said it was a fact, it was an opinionated video.
@@koelael2660 but basic ass facts as Christina being undeniable one of the greatest singer/vocalist of her generation and doing her like that makes this list a joke. It's like sleeping on Mariah, Whitney, Celine and so on. It makes your opinion being worthless being blind or deaf on simple facts.
Jazmine Sullivan's vocals are legendary status. In years to come her vocals will be rediscovered by another generation and she will be imulated, technically she already is. She is the best!
Thanks for all of your hard work on this video, it's a lot to uncover! I'd vote for moving Beyonce to Legendary section, but since that's subjective video, you do you girl! I never really thought about it, but it's true that most passionate vocalists have been dreaming about vocal career since they were little and practiced a lot - you make a good point with that! Thank you for all the research!
i love shakira so much, she is so beautiful and talented. I honestly think Lana is a good vocalist at this point, she's always on pitch and has great tone and resonance in her head voice
i personnally dislike her voice and i don't understand her singing style but many ppl love it
@@Litalici0us I love her as an Humanitarian and dancer. Her tone is not for me either.
shakira is also a very good writer, she doesnt get enough credit for that, but if you speak spanish you can see it on her early stuff
@@fridha2139 yes! Pies Descalzos its a GREAT album.
beyoncé definitely a legendary vocalist 😭
Yeah Beyoncé is a beast with the vocals I’m suprised Lita didn’t put her in the legendary category
Mariah Carey walks in the room
Beyoncé overrated not the greatest singer
@@toneythompson1125 you are me when I lie
No shes not, sorry
Mariah is my all time favourite vocalist but whenever I see Whitney, I just want to cry. Yes, the artists are responsible for themselves but let’s be real here; the US media habitually disrespects & denigrates legendary women. The media and sadly, the public contributed to Whitney’s early demise.
How do talentless people dare to comment on Whitney’s and Mariah’s vocals during her later years? Like S T F U
As long as You put The Vocal Trinity : Celine, Mariah dan Whitney, on the top of Your list, then I'll be okay with the rest of the list :)
Christina Aguilera being taken for granted again? I just don’t understand why. She’s phenomenal and still people don’t acknowledge that.
Lame.
She tends to rely on shouting.
@@ms.bubs4fun506 I do wish every singer was able to "rely on shouting"like that.
I know right
She deserved to be in Beyonce's category
She sings like she’s tone deaf . That’s what I hear. Just being honest
@@janeblog1900 huh I’m sorry but I 100% disagree she is most definitely not tone deaf! And I saw in another comment from you saying she relays on auto tune? Haha no when a produce literally confirmed she didn’t use any auto tune on her back to basics, stripped albums and she most definitely didn’t use it on her latest album either.
If you watch her tour videos from 2019/2020 you will see that she is actually very consistent.
Brandy should be in the confirmed vocalist tier. She is leaps and bounds ahead of almost everyone else in that category. And since when has Alicia Keys been a "confirmed vocalists"? She has a lot of widely known "issues". And Beyoncé should be in the Legendary category since she's already better than a few of the vocalists in that category.
Brandy's runs and adlibs give me life and it's everything. ❤❤
i was expecting those comments. my video is not based on technique only. as much as i love beyoncé i dont think she vocally inspired many generations yet her technique is amazing but i really do not consider she has her place between whitney and mariah (the only one i placed as high is lara bc of her IMPECABLE technique + longetivity)
About Brandy she is a confirmed vocalist for sure, but sill i consider her as a freestyler when that's what she does the most (being a freestyler doesnt mean she does not have technique)
at the end my video is subjective so i'm the only one who can say where these artists belong in my own video lol
@Butterfly Era what is she !?
@Butterfly Era Beyoncé has a worldwide impact but i dont think she does yet vocally ! A little bit like lady gaga she is mostly praised for her performing skills, being the total package also shes still "young" to belong to this catégory.
@Butterfly Era i believe the very New générations of singers is inspired by her vocally like Perrie, Tori, Dinah etc. But thats very small comparing to Mariah, Aretha etc. Impact

Merci ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd put Leona in confirmed. Notorious for her vocals and nothing else, and talented since childhood, and in her prime compared to the greats of course.
Nicole is definitely confirmed as well.
Love the video, here is where I'd put these singers:
Basic: Jhene (love her though), Taylor (she tries though lol)
Atypical: Billie Eilish, Fergie, Janis Joplin, Britney Spears
Potential: Sia
Intuitive: Kelly Rowland, Nicole,
Baby: Jessie J, Perrie, Jenifer Hudson
Confirmed: Leona lewis
Legendary: Diana Ross, Etta James, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan
Don't know Amy Lee
Amy Lee '13Dec1981' leadsinger in American rockband Evanescence(1995-present)1sthit'Bring me to life' was in 2004 some sayshe's 3.6 octaves
range spanning from a low A2 an E6 in full head voice not sure if she's a dramatic soprano3.5 octaves(Eb3E7)or mezzosoprano 3octaves1semitone (Eb3E6) th-cam.com/video/3YxaaGgTQYM/w-d-xo.html.'My Immortal' th-cam.com/video/5anLPw0Efmo/w-d-xo.html. Taken from this website therangeplanet.proboards.com/thread/1877/amy-lee
I'd put Sia in the Intuitive category, she is definetely not a very technique singer, but she got a good technique ideed and her vocals are pure Soul, she's absolutely one of the best singers currently when it comes singing with emotion. It's a pity she's losing her voice...
I agree with everyone except Sia and Jessie J. I'd say Sia is intuitive and Jessie J is in the confirmed.
I disagree with Jhene Aiko. I believe she belongs in the atypical category. Her style is very her own, her voice is distinct. I love Ciara and her music but she is not a natural born vocalist so hence basic and her music is average. Taylor is basic but only vocally, regardless she has influenced an entire generation with her style, music writing, and melding pop with other styles of music. If you have seen Jhene's Tiny Desk concert, I feel that removes her from basic. Her voice is literally healing and angelic. And on top of that, her music is timeless, iconic, and memorable. All her as an individual and that is what sets her apart. Yes, she is not a ballad artist, but yet her music reaches all audiences, young and old. And she proves you don't have to sing like Alicia Keys or Beyonce to have music reach people.
@@jjlinny1376 Yeah, Sia is most definitely intuitive. Her voice runs through her veins
Amy lee would def go into unique for me. I absolutely adore they way she sings and I wish she would be included in more of these vocalist videos. I feel like she gets overlooked as a vocalist because she doesn’t sing pop or rnb but she’s truly talented.
Yes exactly... The darkness her voice have is so unique
Jlo barely uses her vocals tho?
I love her as an actress and admire her as a business woman.
Because she barely has any lol. She can hardly find the key most times.
This argument is tired. She had background singers who were mixed into her older songs that they demo’d. Ashanti and Cristina Milian have already confirmed they didn’t ghost sing for her, nor did she steal from them. Ashanti sings background and adlibbed on 2 of Jlos songs, wrote 1 of them and was in the video for it. Cristina Milian did the chorus to Play. And Natasha Ramos sang background on 4 of Jlos songs, including Jenny from the block. Brandi gave Jlo her song “Ryde or Die” and Jlo recorded it, and left Brandi’s adlib vocals. That’s it. This practice has been done by Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Toni Braxton, even Beyonce.
@@meandepiphany Maybe Jlo circa 2003. But Jlo in 2021 is legitimately a good singer. I do what y’all hear now. Her Selena Tribute from 2015 was literally perfect vocally.
@@matutahoot No, she doesn't sound good Sir. She sounds like a cat in heat. I don't know if you sing or have a musical ear but Jlo ain't it. Great actress though. She should stick to that.
Ok you missed Keke Wyatt...she is a BEAST! And ever heard of the Clark Sister's? They changed the gospel game! And Beyonce is LEGENDARY and Alicia Keys is basic!
I 100% agree
Yeah the creator is wrong for not putting them in. Alicia is kinda basic, I agree, but Beyoncé, while she can sing, she ain't Aretha, Whitney or Mariah 🥴🤷🏾♂️, and that's not shade, that's facts
Alicia keys is noticed for her innate musicianship yall 😭😭
@@domotemujin7780 she's legendary simple as that
Agree with the first few, disagree on Alicia and Beyoncé. I am a big Alicia fan, although she may not fit in the confirmed category. Beyoncé has amazing technique and I think her lower gritty registers and growls are the only interesting thing about her voice, to me, but that’s totally personal. I prefer quirky singers and deep powerful voices
I definitely feel like now in 2021 Beyonce is a Legendary Vocalist.
That's it. That's the comment.
Amen
A shame you didn't include Cher when she has had an amazing career, longevity and a very unique tone of voice.
OMG this is funny 1st time i thought that was a man singing Believe.she's godess for sure.
@@HoangGracy yes, i think i thought the same since when Believe was released i was around 11 years old.
she sang UNDER Sonny, which made their duets so ear-catching.
Personally i feel Beyonce should be up a category. She jas the perfect technoque and has definitely inspired so many young singers. She also has oncredible musicianship and is very passionate when performing. Just bc she dances doesnt mean she doesnt deserve to be in this spot. Loved the video tho. Like Bey has everything u listed that Lara Fabian jas but has better stamina imo so wth
As an artist

Riri's belting is outstanding.

Riri’s belting being “outstanding” is an exaggeration. Her belting is decent to ok at best let’s be honest now.
@@rydercdaniels4475 right! she had a major vocal decline since 2009

I love Dionne Warwick.
Christina Aguilera is an enigma.

Couldn’t agree more
She’s respected as another student of Whitney’s
@@The_Truth- Who said anything about Whitney?
Respect WAS put on her name. Stop being salty
@@lilyofthevalley9853 I said it.
Sometimes you won't believe Mariah's vocal signature
What's your favourite album? Mine, Music Box ...🔥
Love your videos! One thought: Patti LaBelle was shown complimenting Ariana Grande but wasn’t categorized herself. Patti is an absolutely legendary vocalist and definitely should’ve been included.
true.
I was very surprised Patti wasn't included 😮!!
Alicia keys should’ve been in the first category and Jasmine Sullivan should’ve been in a higher category.
I think Tori and Ariana really have found themselves in recent years. They should be confirmed vocalists especially Tori. Beyonce is a legend at this point
CHAKA KHAN SHOULD BE IN THE VOCALIST CATOGORY FOR SURE
& Tina !! I’m like wtf made this?
I was rocking with you til we got to Alicia Keys being a confirmed vocalist! Stop. What’s interesting is when you talked about singers seeing their voices as secondary. Alicia has ALWAYS said she considers herself a musician more than a vocalist. But somehow you see differently. Idk man. She’s far too inconsistent to be in that category with those vocalists.
Exactly Alicia before Brady, Jazzmine or Christina 😆😆 quality list
Definitely agree
I think he more so meant that she’s that she’s had a lot of experience and compared to other singers her musicianship and songwriting skills are undeniably matched prince gave her a co-sign you know he don’t like nobody 😂😂
@@Aanguchihaa you are clearly misinformed where her songwriting is concerned. Prince cosigned because of her talent, not her songwriting.
I think her inconsistency has a lot to do with her comments in the video. She writes tons of tricky higher notes, even though she’s clearly an alto. She likes to push herself. If she stayed in her natural range more, she would be much more consistent. But I agree, she may fit better into another category.
Mariah the best . One thing about Rihanna si elle a bcp étudié la musique certainement va devenir a vocalist
How are Christina and JHud not confirmed? They are the millennial incomparables.
Demi Lovato’s rendition of Christina’s “Mercy on Me” is INCREDIBLE and she soo young
Wow...JoJo was so slept on...including by me. I'm impressed. Most of the singers and vocalists in the video I really like. Great job putting the clips together. One more thing, in general, Kelly Rowland gets virtually no shine in videos like this (Litalic0us gave her an honorable mention) and it's criminal lol!
Did you see Kelly Rowland on song association?
JoJo is everything!
They’re all good in their own ways, there’s just something about Rihannas voice that speaks to me, I get mesmerised when she sings.
We've got millions of beautiful voices u have to sound unique mold ur own part. Not sounding like someone else cuz ur want to follow vocal technique. Atypical I stan
Could you please make a part two with the singers mentioned at the end of the video??? I'd love to watch it and I bet that the most of people who has watched this one would love it too
I loved what Whitney says at the end about Aretha, cus it's exactly what many ppl think 'bout her own voice/vocals
Jennifer Hudson is definitely a class-A vocalist! She belongs to the star's level along with Mariah, Aretha and Whitney.
Right..shes def. a beast. Its so sad she is underrated and i think its because the kind of genre that suits her voice doesnt belong to the era she is in..if she was in the 80s/90s, she'd be a legend too.
@@regiigu960 Thankfully he's been doing great musicals though.
@@regiigu960 So true. Her voice is so powerful. I hope she gets recognized more like how Aretha was in her prime.
Yea cause I was watching dream girls the other night she and Anika Noni Rose sing circles around her. I wish they would’ve given her more songs in the movie
Jennifer does not have the body of work that they have especially Aretha's body of work.
Aaliyah def had a lot of potential! her singing was a stylistic choice, watch her oscars peformance you can see that she could sing
True! But you also have to remember that this is base off of opinion. Aaliyah died young, she wasn’t nowhere near her prime. But you are right, she had a lot of potential.
This list is spot on. I think tho that Tori should be in confirmed vocalist category meanwhile Beyoncé should be in the legendary category. Tori imo is almost as skilled as Jojo. Beyoncé what more could I say hahahahaaahhha
@Motown Gayes I know of an underrated vocalists you might love. Idk if you know her already or not but her name is Faouzia. She’s in my opinion one of the best vocalists of this generation up there with Ariana and Tori.
One of my new favorite TH-cam videos! Thank you!
That trio 90's woman singer is on the same tier level
lana is amazing live, but shes also the best storyteller & writes great music too.
I love Beyonce (non growling) belts😍 eargasmic
Please don’t hate me I’m like the biggest Beyoncé fan but am I the only who feels like she should ease on the growls on the high notes for now? I’m not saying she has never not growled high notes but since the FWT I’ve been wanting to hear more high notes that weren’t growled
@@butterfliesandwaffles6335 yes me too. I love me some growl but not all the time
@@butterfliesandwaffles6335 same I love her music but when she does those growls every second it can get kind of annoying
@butterflies and waffles
and when she sings ave maria I'd love it if she sang the "ave dominus" without growling. When she sings freedom not everything needs to be growled. *Sometimes* during the Crazy in Love riff and the "yoouurr loooveee" after the riff, I wish she didn't growl it. same with songs like I Care, APESHIT, If I Were a Boy, Halo, 1+1, Love On Top, etc. (at some points in the songs where she growls for like 8 lines straight) The only growl I really want to stay is the Me, Myself, and I growl.
@@butterfliesandwaffles6335 I love her growls sometimes but when all the belts are growling it pulls me out of the songs and the performance in general
for me Beyonce sh's legendary vocalists
In technique only there's others vocally way more superior
@@blairturner139 precisely I do not agree because for me I find that Beyonce does things with her voice that other great vocalists would not do with so much flow
Your vids touch me deep inside and make me cry tears of happiness because praising talent is what I teasure.
Intuitive Vocalists are the best type of vocalists IMO! I love spontaneoity and real musicality, not just rehearsed "by the book" vocals.. I love vocalists who can twist a song in the spur of the moment and emotion.. Really good selection of vocalists mentioned there especially Christina Aguilera because she is the most spontaneous vocalist I've seen.. Also, Fantasia, could be another great example of Intuitive vocalist..
Yeah, but being spontaneous makes you creative, not necessarily a vocalist. Christina's technique is not that healthy.
@@estera4176 i agree that its not that healthy but she has been using it since forever and admit that it isn't healthy.... Nevertheless love how many new stars are using her style in singing
i hope Sara Bareilles could be featured as well. she's extremely underrated
Yess!!
Yes! That cover of sitting on the dock of the bay is just... *chefs kiss*
I’m so satisfied that you included Rihanna in the unique category her unique voice is what makes her my Idol
Rihanna is unique for sure. Good to know that she is your role model.
Karen Carpenter was an amazing singer. It was before me listening to great vocalists, but her unique voice is worth to be mentioned.
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are literally the best!
25:50
Whitney sat on top of all the girls
This was a great video to highlight the difference in singers, without bashing them( as I saw many of those before on youtube) cause we should remember that singing is a artform and everybody should be allowed to expres their art. As it will resonate with someone. But we should also acknowledge that some people just have amazing talent and skill beyond comprehension. But al types of artists are appreciated.
Nicole Scherzinger is defintely a Confirmed Vocalist.
She sings multiple genres and music has always been innate in her.
Memories from Cats
I have to say the intuitive singers are the ones that keep me coming back. I respect people dedicated to their craft who study their voice but I need to FEEL
I feel like Jojo is very underrated her voice is amazing
26:01 so heavenly pleasing tone
Loved this video it was for the most part spot on. I want to point out how I loved that u put singer JoJo in the confirmed vocalist category one because she rarely gets the recognition of how great she is really, and 2 she rightfully so deserves the placement that u gave her. Because I've tried to tell people for the longest that what makes JoJo one of the greatest to ever do it is because she's crafted her own vocal singing style that's unique to her and without really sounding like other singers when it comes to her technique! So to see someone else see what I see I loved that!! So thank u so much for this video and giving respect to one of my favorite stand alone singers in the game Ms. JoJo!!❤👐🏾
Queen JoJo is phenomenal. 😍
@@wesmindo5729 she really is!! To me she's a gift to the music and the singing world!! 👐🏾❤
@@RioMusicOfficially so true. 👏
Ariana surely can do the whistle tone but lacks the vocal power that Mariah can do.
whitney's power, treasured chest voice and volume 😍
This video was PHENOMENAL! You did such a great job 👏 I would have never guessed that English wasn't your first language 👀 you did that! Great job! Thank you for the video!
Christina aguilera is a legend in her for age
Young Jojo amazed me. The effortless singing wow
Can you make another video with male singers, please? This video got me rlly interested about what male singers would be included on your top tier list.
i don’t really know what was the end goal of this video tbh 😂 but jazmine is a TRUE VOCALIST. should be in confirmed category but honestly a lot of these choices are just weird.
Thanks for making this video and sharing your thoughts. This is helps to think about many things.
26:18 omg Celine has taken me by surprise. Her stance screams legendary
In my book the only ledendary vocalist is whitney. No saying everyone is bad, but whitney is really just another level than all the other. And celine dion too.
Here’s the main difference between singers and vocalists for me: singers make me go “Aw that’s cute” and vocalists make me cry, piss myself, shit myself, and throw up.
How is Brandy not a confirmed vocalist? Like?????????
