What? Mariah at her prime can do things most of the singers on the list can’t dream of ever doing! Mariah has great songs aside from the hits! The Xmas catalogue is a side thing
Anyone Top 10, 100, 200 or whatever list will always be subjective. I don't know what criteria Rolling Stone went by but not to have Anita Baker or Celine Dion included on their list is ludicrous. John Lennon.........really??? The first white singer to appear on the list is John Lennon??? As a black male that's even insulting to me. Mary J Blige is way too high and I'm not even sure she's top 200. I even think Prince is too high. But again, it's subjective so no need to have an aneurysm over it 😆.
According to Rolling Stone: "This new list was compiled our staff and key contributors, and it encompasses 100 years of pop music as an ongoing global conversation, where iconic Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar lands between Amy Winehouse and Johnny Cash, and salsa queen Celia Cruz is up there in the rankings with Prince and Marvin Gaye. You might notice that, say, there isn’t any opera on our list - that’s because our purview is pop music writ large, meaning that almost all the artists on this list had significant careers as crossover stars making popular music for the masses. Before you start scrolling (and commenting), keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent. Sure, many of the people here were born with massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range. Others have rougher, stranger, or more delicate instruments. As our write-up for the man who ended up at Number 112 notes, “Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t have what most people would call a good voice, but boy does he have a great one.” That could apply to more than a few people here. In all cases, what mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy. A voice can be gorgeous like Mariah Carey’s, rugged like Toots Hibbert’s, understated like Willie Nelson’s, slippery and sumptuous like D’Angelo’s, or bracing like Bob Dylan’s. But in the end, the singers behind it are here for one reason: They can remake the world just by opening their mouths."
Burton Cummings of the Guess Who, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Steve Walsh of Kansas are three that come to mind. Don't know if they were on the list. 1.o0
The list is not worth anybody's time. The omissions are deliberate, and not very subtle, so they get tons and tons of free publicity. Shows like this then discuss what's wrong with the list thus raising the profile of the magazine with no financial cost to Rolling Stone
Mariah being at the top 10 is "lol" or funny to you? It's understandable that Beyonce shouldn't be there but Mariah should've been ranked 3rd or 2nd... It's freaking Mariah Carey. Celine approves on this video >>> th-cam.com/video/JAMLkz-F40E/w-d-xo.html
D you know what used to be her biggest dream??? That is to be like Mariah, Whitney, and Barbara. She bows down to these Greats >>> th-cam.com/users/shortsqhjlYeHWY5Q?feature=share
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee that's not how I heard it. Mayb he had production help the fact he's even trying says it all. Any other rock star try? No cause they ain't Freddy. I'd put him up against Bocelli
Bob Dylan has a very unique voice and delivery where he perfectly captures the folk, country, americana vocals that no one on the world can copy or reproduce, no matter what vocal abilities they have and also it is about uniqueness of the vocal like Dylan or Lennon th-cam.com/video/uSdVOEKW5YA/w-d-xo.html
Freddy Mercury better front man than Mick?!?! C'mon DP, you call yourself a pop music guy? But there is that vapid theme song you have at the top of the 2nd and 3rd hours. THANK GOD FOR A MUTE BUTTON
A "tremendous stage presence?!?" It was fine, but he was constantly being upstaged by Angus Young. That *never* happened with Freddie. Freddie was also a 10x better singer. Get a grip, dude.
Rolling Stone magazine knows music like McDonald's knows fine cuisine.
What? Mariah at her prime can do things most of the singers on the list can’t dream of ever doing! Mariah has great songs aside from the hits! The Xmas catalogue is a side thing
How is Celine Dion not in there.
Her voice is really good but boring imo.
I was thinking the same when I saw the list. Not just an outstanding voice but also would a singer who I would see live
It doesn't make sense to me... She's at the level of Whitney and Mariah imo
For some people (like me) Celine's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I'd throw Geddy Lee in there too.
Yea Sam Cooke's voice is undefeated
No Mel Torme, Dean Martin. Jim Morrison or Barry Gibb? Robert Plant 63 and Michael Jackson 86? This list is complete shite.
Celine Dion, Ariana grande... Even if you don't like the music.. great voices
the fill-in Fritzy impersonations is best thing in a long time..

Yeah Celine not in the list is blasphemy...
Jung "autotune" Kook over Amy Lee, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion (snubbeb). Yeah, I have a problem with this list.
Luther Vandross anyone?

itsa stupid excuse because celine dion is a SINGER! and VOICE

I just noticed the glass barrier in the back row is back! I thought that was a Pearl thing.
Whitney's voice is magic.
Did a little civic light when I was a kid ---Barbara S. can make your skin tingle !!!
What about Paul Rodgers of Free, etc.?
The "Rolling Stone" lists are all about trying to pander to every demographic.
Luther vandross is probably the best male singer and he is better than most of the women too!
Ann Wilson has an amazing voice, great singer. Not surprised at all she was left off.
They should explain the criteria. How they chose the list
Mike Patton is the best singer. He can literally sing anything.
This segment needs Shea from Irving

I wanna bring up Chris Stapleton!
No Celine Dion... Mariah and Beyonce in the top 10... lol

if Bobby Hatfield of Righteous Brothers fame is not top 10 then your list is a fughazee
Dan's on the crack again! Christine better than Stevie? What color is the sky in your world DP?
My son does a great impression of Stevie Nicks. She has a terrible voce. Go listen to her sing "Silent Night".
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee My mom was a professional singer. The two voices she could not stand were Stevie Nicks and Diana Ross.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee thin with no range.
Ronnie Van zant i hope he made the top 20
How come they didn’t mention MJ being 86th?
Why would Michael Jordan be on list of 200 greatest singers?
@@cooleydbt Hardy har har
@@cooleydbt 🤣
The lead singer from Earth Wind and Fire and Brian McKnight are the two best male vocalists I’ve heard
You need to broaden your musical horizons then wow
Ariana Grande ahead of James Brown are you kidding me !!!!! No Respect
Johnny Mathis has to be in the 25
Mercury is #1……no contest……
This list smells like shit. They pay to have a place?
Ariana grande is ahead of CRAZINESS
I wonder where Ann Wilson falls on the list?
I looked, and she didn’t make the list.
Also Jonny Mathis !!!
Wonder where Sam and Dave were on the list?
Freddy did opera.
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee he sang duet with opera star. Barcelona a hit. No he didn't do a whole show but held his own with this opera lady.
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee that's not how I heard it. Mayb he had production help the fact he's even trying says it all. Any other rock star try? No cause they ain't Freddy. I'd put him up against Bocelli
Layne Staley> Kurt Cobain
mariah definitely deserves to be in the top ten. go beyond "all i want for christmas" her other songs are breathtaking.
McVie was not a better singer than Nicks are you kidding me
I have a problem with RS in general.
Does Hall & Oates have their kiss on this list?
Dylan should not be on this list…….
Huey Lewis top 10
Bob Dylan has a very unique voice and delivery where he perfectly captures the folk, country, americana vocals that no one on the world can copy or reproduce, no matter what vocal abilities they have and also it is about uniqueness of the vocal like Dylan or Lennon th-cam.com/video/uSdVOEKW5YA/w-d-xo.html
This list stinks
Steve perry not in top 40 is a joke
Stop it……both are good…..but Stevie is sooooo….Stevie…..cmon man…
SINATRA ELVIS BENNETT DYLAN NEVER
Bowie is for sure above, John Lennon. The subject is too hard. For me, Whitney Huoston is awful to listen to, but it's the songs
Whitney Houston and AWFUL...what rubbish!
Hahaha Beyoncé
Is it rock? Or just singers?
John Lennon is the greatest white singer ever according to Rolling Stone.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Got what right? The list is complete garbage.
Freddy Mercury better front man than Mick?!?! C'mon DP, you call yourself a pop music guy? But there is that vapid theme song you have at the top of the 2nd and 3rd hours. THANK GOD FOR A MUTE BUTTON
My son does a great Stevie Nicks impression. She has a terrible voice.
And sorry guys but I'd take Bon Scott over Freddie Mercury as front man. Bon had a unique voice and absolutely had a tremendous stage presence
A "tremendous stage presence?!?" It was fine, but he was constantly being upstaged by Angus Young. That *never* happened with Freddie. Freddie was also a 10x better singer. Get a grip, dude.
