That’s why her songs are so hard to duplicate. I like Chaka music and that she’s straight forward but payola?? Aretha is good but just bc she’s legendary & no longer here doesn’t mean she should be number 1 either IMO.
You are correct. In the 1970s you had to have pure talent in order to sign a recording contract. Chaka Khan has been recording music with Rufus & for herself since 1971. Chaka Khan was never a half-ass singer. She always delivered. We'll see if Beyonce' will still "sing" if you call it that nowdays after her 50th birthday. Chaka Khan is not (Bitter) she's (Better) 😀
@@swisschoklate736 I know right. Who does she influence? Lol. Her one song through the fire is sang by gays in karaoke bars. That's her only popular song here. Mariah influenced an entire generation of singers. Singers here are Mariah's children. She's the standard of being a good singer. Chaka... Well, her name definitely suits her.
She was tongue-in-cheek during this segment of her interview. She's often said she felt disrespected by the industry for her BIG vocal talents. So, there's likely a tinge of bitterness mixed in there. Nothing to take seriously.
Chaka, there's a reason why a lot of singers aspire and were inspired to be like Mariah. She has one of the golden pipes in the world and has become one of the most influential vocalists of all time. US might consider you a legend, but I tell you, only a few people know you worldwide.
I knew who Mariah Carey was by the age of 9 and I found out about Chaka like what 5 years ago. No I don’t live under a rock but one is way more popular then the other for a good reason
If Mariah is "payola", then how come we haven't seen others nail her songs? We've heard a Celine Dion sound alike with Sam Bailey on the X factor or Glennis Grace sound alike for Whitney Houston...but nobody...nobody has come close to sounding alike for Mariah Carey. She's the ultimate singer that always imitated, never duplicated
She can be honest without putting the other women down and calling them out their names!! All the women on that list are in different ranges. Whitney Houston is and will forever be my #1 and I love Chaka, but there're definitely a few women on that list that I would rank higher than her, I'm sorry but not sorry...and I said what I said🤷🏽♀️ Edit: Rihanna definitely does NOT need to be on that list
@@Chitownbrotha30 if that's the case, why would she bring up payola? Mariah had nothing to do with that shitty ass Rollingstone list. Chaka just does not seem like a pleasant person. At all.
Dionne Warwick ruled the 60's and 70's with her Burt Bacharach hits and didn't make the top 200 is also a crime. The person that compiled this list knows more about auto-tune , Instagram followers, and tweets than music. I agree with Chaka Khan.
I like chaka but she better put Respect on Mariah's name! If it was payloa, why didn't Tommy Mottola stop Mariah's career after they divorced? She earned her just due . My opinion is subjective just like everyone else's. Thanks for reading....🤩
@@jbjjbb I am a Mariah Carey fan, but her voice went downhill after 1993.. Despite this she continued to make great music... You don't know Chaka Khan's voice..
MARIAH CAREY PAYOLA ?? The lady that produced 19 number one hits the most of any solo artist.. One of the BIGGEST SINGERS to ever EXIST!!! 2 Diamond ALBUMS over 200 Million records worldwide!!! The biggest holiday song EVER produced by MARIAH CAREY !! Literally a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR/ICON .. Chaka done lost her mind !!!!!
Tommy Mottola was acussed of doing Payola for Mariah. All of her songs were played to death on the radio even when the actual physical sales didn't match. Some of her earliest number ones were not as organic as the ones after their divorce when he was saboting her behind the scenes in the late 90s and early 00s. I Don't Wanna Cry, Love Takes Time, Someday all went number one after Vision of Love but they are mostly forgotten today. The Jackson 5 first 4 records went number one and are still getting played till this day from I Want You Back to ABC, I'll Be There which Mariah famously covered in 1992 on her MTV unplugged. The Love You Save is the most underrated one tho. But these are mostly classic records. Vision of Love is the only classic off of her debut but she had a big machine behind her bc Tommy who was the head of Sony wanted a female act from his label to compete with Whitney (Arista/Clive Davis), Madonna (Warner/Maveric) and Janet (Virgin records)
@@angechrisman1694 BYE.. Mariah is literally one of the biggest artist of all time. Her albums sold 10 million copies in the 90s that were brought aint nothing about that payola love.
@@angechrisman1694 Was accused. And you cannot do payola for 1 straight decade - it just wont work if people wont listen and buy your material. Mariah's success is legit.
@@StacyBells0806 Notice how I didn't say a decade straight. I said earlier in her career during her first eras in the early 90s. Tommy was doing everything for her to get #1s. And paying radio stations was alledgedly one of them. Ofc the ppl actually fell in love with Mariah because of her GODGIVEN talent, outstanding voice and songwritting. She's the "Songbird Suprime" after all . But early on the critics thought that she was a studio singer and that's why she wouldn't go on tour. But she also proved them wrong with her MTV unplugged. She was marketed to cater to a wider audience and the media was calling her the "white Whitney" but she denied the accusations and spoke about her biracial identity struggle and racial ambiguity. She was accused of being an industry plant to compete and replace Whitney and she proved them wrong and ended up working with her on "The Prince of Egypt" soundrack with their duet When You Believe (It can be miracles) and they became friends
@FVDA Bitter about what hun she is on the list should Mariah be higher than Chaka on this list? HELL NAW!!!!!! And Celine Dion Not Being on the list is Absolutely insane!!!!!!!
At 61 years old, Chaka has always been a firecracker. For us who remember when she came out when she was 19, she came out like a stick of dynamite. That I don't take no sh*t attitude is a part of her personality. She's celebrating her 50 years in the business and her 70th birthday on March 23. People can call her acrackhead, dopehead, or whatever. No one can deny her influence on the music industry or her vocal ability.
I'm a huge Chaka fan since 1971 when she joined the band Rufus. She is 69 years old (will be 70 on March 23rd) and she was 17 when she joined the band Rufus. I agree with everything you said
in short, she is rude and offensive, much like that idiot Cardie B. Respectful people can state their case without resorting to insults and hitting below the belt.
Chaka is good but doesn’t mean she should be above alot of the ones she came before that ranked higher. Even for Aretha. Not taking away their talent nor contributions to the music but all legends shouldn’t just be number 1 bc they came before whoever above. She has a right to her opinion and I love her straight forward attitude but still.
Mariah is my number one forever. Her voice and range is UNMATCHED and still to this day continues to inspire all these newbie’s. She even inspire Beyonce, Christina, Ariana grande and all dem. Mariah will always be legend Chaka needs to get off her crack Pipe and pipe the fk down.
You should stop smoking the dick pipe. Khan could out sing Mariah without even trying, AND Mariah knows that, that’s why she bows at the ALTER that is Khan. 💯 So. There’s ALL of that curnt!
Chaka might have earned the right to say whatever she wants, but that doesn't mean she's right. Any list that doesn't include Mariah in, at the very least the Top 10, isn't a credible list. And quite frankly, Chaka is delusional if she thinks she should be higher. No ma'am.
U people are delusional have you heard Mariah live her voice is bad and chaka is in her 60s and still has her range she could blow Mariah out the atmosphere if they went one on one . Maybe Mariah from the 90s was good but 2023 Mariah uhh I don't think so .
Never was that into Mariah. Not the voice or the music beyond the earlier stuff. Of the vocal trinity(Whitney, Celine, Mariah), she is the weakest singer: she has the worst technique of them and the smallest voice. Her whistle notes are pretty crap as well. Most of the time they sound like weak, unsupported squeals. This is coming from a trained classical singer who knows what a whistle note is supposed to sound like. She had a 5-year voice basically where she sounded decent. Anything after 1995 is just meh. Whitney started her career in ‘84 and sounded amazing up until ‘94 - ‘95, then she got too involved with drugs and ruined her voice. Otherwise, she would’ve probably continued singing well. Céline is brilliant even today, at 53. Her voice has obviously darkened and changed, but she has the best technique out of the 3.
@@bonotoon5273 You sure have a lot to say about Mariah, but the whole point of the post was about Mariah and Chaka. Is Chaka a better singer than Mariah? The answer is quite simple: no.
Donna Summer should have been in the top 20 for sure! She had one of THE most amazing voices and I feel like she has never truly gotten the praise she deserved.
Exactly! Donna is wayyy underrated in terms of vocal abilities. Of course she wasn't always perfect, but the range she has shows that she's definitely deserve top 10 female vocalist in mainstream music ever!
Because nobody really knows about Donna's talent because she always did those upbeat disco songs. She needed to have some ballads like Whitney did to showcase her voice.
Urm mam Mariah is one of if not the best vocalist of all time. Her catalogue is by far better than any other female ever existing. Y’all better not wait until Mariah passes then to see how impact. Facts will always be facts.
@@aranielleb7718 We are talking about vocals not hits and I don't know the stats but many have had #1s. I think strangely Modonna tops(who is not a better vocalist by far) but Mariah is just getting more popular with the young people these days...not sure why but yeah.
Chaka has always had an attitude, but that's Chaka.. We just come to expect it. Not even remotely surprised by her shady comments. She's always spoken her mind, better or worse. She clearly doesn't mind offending people. lol
I like Chaka but when I hear her bitterness on Kanye "F---ing" her song or her throw dirt on Adele and other great singers on a "Greatest Singers" list, it's just very sad.
All these kinds of lists do is create problems because some of the artists will be offended where there placed on these lists and their fans will be highly upset too.nothing good comes from ranking lists
I totally disagree riri is a fantastic vocalist ! She can blow hunnay !! And her voice has depth ! Listen to her song " what now" or " drunk on love " and youll understand why she's on that list !
Why is no one talking about Mary J Blige on the List. Rihanna sings better. I agree with Chaka, Mary J can't sing. Chaka definitely should be above her. What about Jennifer Hudson? She should be in the top 10.
@@shaunhoward6838 Christina never even came close of Mariah as a singer. What is happening with Mariah now is what happened to Christina during all her career: cracking, failing, squeezing, forcing, pushing… There’s a reason why people said Christina is the creator of the “Crack Register” 🤣🤣

I'm sorry but Chaka Chan is 20xs better than Mariah, period! If you know anything about singing, and not auto tunes and mastering audio, the natural notes and power Chan Khan only a few can reach. That is why she has so many Grammys, when they meant something. Mariah could never reach Chaka's notes without screaming! Dont get me wrong, I like Mariah, and she can sing, but she does not out sing a lot of other true powerhouse singers, ie. Etta James, Patty Labelle, Whitney,,,
Aging gracefully also means being able to accept that you have paved the way for other talented singers and have made a great contribution to the music industry overall. Shading other singers appears a bit juvenile...it's not a good look for Chaka.
I see nothing wrong with Chakra khan being upfront, and honest. She actually grew up when you actually had to sing ,no tricks or anything else. She is not Fake ,and that's a good thing.
The disrespect was uncalled for. Why the sour mouth? Especially when Mariah’s given her praise in the past. Mariah payola??? A woman that surpassed her career with ease. Her opinions were definitely laughable
Only a insecure person who's just jealous and bitter that they can't sustain a promising career through out their entire career like maariah has . Can't even touch Mariah when it comes to work ethics , humility , Song writing and staying relevant on the Billboard charts and being over 50 something not allot of people can do not even Chaka Khan . Go smoke crack and pick Ur own flaws and stack Ur achievements against Mc and see if you even compare
In a way Celine is in legendary company. Remember when Prince wasn't included in the 100 greatest guitarists!!!??? Their talent is beyond a stupid assessment by a few, as is Angelina Jordan, who wouldn't care about making the list or not.
Chaka is a bitter woman. So sad and disrespectful to other singers in the industry. Music is subjective and every one has their likes.Grow up Chaka and act your age, not a bitter woman. SMH
Because Chaka Khans tone is so soothing to the ear….😏😅. The different things mariah does with her voice (without even using the whistles) Chaka Khan couldn’t even comprehend
Christina Aguilera is one of the greatest singers of all time in history have iconic music and is a LEGEND even Whitney Houston told Christina she's the only one to give her music justice Cher called Christina a legend Christina is the voice of a ENTIRE generation so jealous haters can remain jealous!!!
This “voice of a generation” is just an award about philantropy, not about singing, even more when we have singers that are mich better than her as Kelly Clarkson, P!nk and Beyonce on that generation. She is overrated, not even close as one of the best.
@@renanrpmBeyonce is overrated she's an entertainer not an vocalist, pink still mad Christina got the big high part in lady marmalade and Kelly got really nervous when Christina asked her to sing a duet in their interview, Kelly and pink are good but they are no way near Christina Aguilera voice and power Christina is an next level of talent and power Christina voice will outsing every single one of them and they all admit it so don't come at Christina when you don't know anything Christina is called to do tributes for Whitney Houston (who said Christina is the closest to her) Etta James James brown prince mj etc etc etc Christina is referred to as the voice of the generation type her name in google it'll even say that! Christina is one of the greatest voices of all time in history she's in the top 10 or top 5 at least!

Now I'll mute u!
@@christinaaguileralegend Beyonce is an entertainer, but she’s also one of the vocalists of the pop industry, MUCH above Christina who is a fiasco on a technical analisys. P!nk amd Kelly have better techniques than her and can do more with their voices, even not cracking all the time as Christina often did (that’s why she was called “the creator of Crack Register” some years ago). Whitney said Christina’s performance of Run To You was the best besides her own, not that Christina was just behind her overall. Even that performance was strained and made easier to sing because Christina’s ability couldn’t handle that song (even Whitney had issues doing it live when it was released and never gave it justice). Etta Tribute was horrible with all the strain and unhealthy raspiness Christina showed. Christina is called The Voice of A Generation because this was the name of a PHILANTHROPIC award she received for her social work, meaning she was the one speaking for the generation on those matters, not because of her voice. Stop being delusional at this level, is shamefull and cringy 💀🤡
Congratulations to all of you. I wish Whitney and Prince were here to see it. I had a chance to listen to all of you at one point in my life. Thanks for the great music. It should be enough glory for everyone
Okay, these lists are subjective. While she has a right to her opinion, the insults are not cool. Make your own list if you don't like theirs. Saying negative things about other singers is not a good look.
All I know is that Aretha DESERVES her spot at No.1! I have Whitney tied with her at the Top though with Mariah coming in second after them! A lot of y’all have not heard prime Aretha and just go off her vocals damaged from chain smoking from the late 70s till her old age! Some of her recordings from the 60s even have her singing while sick…you need to search up Aretha’s Columbia albums, especially Unforgettable (A tribute to Dinah Washington) then you’ll see why she’s the Queen. Whitney is INSANE TOO!!! Just an unparalleled Gift from the most high…surreal voice! The 7th wonder of the world! Mariah’s voice…let me not even start! Her angelic belts are unmatched!!!! Extremely skilled vocalist with the best developed whistle register of all time! Chaka is incredible too but I have her slightly below the three women stated above!✨
No I think some of them are just going off her vocal after 1994 or so when she started incorporating the falsetto in her singing.......Aretha still had many amazing vocals from 1980-1994 .
I'm glad you told the TRUTH about Aretha's GREATNESS! I agree with EVERYTHING you said, except that Chaka is not an incredible singer in my opinion. I feel she has barely passed the test as a singer! No dis at all to Chaka, I'm just being almost as honest as she is!
@@christhomas5761 Aretha had GREAT vocals after 1994, in my opinion! Check out her 1998 Grammy performance of her filling in for Luciano Pavarotti and singing Nessun Dorma; Aretha on the Rolanda show singing "It Hurts Like Hell." And Aretha's 1998 recording of "In the Morning!"
@@ajleed2933 The same Chaka you heard and think is incredible. The only Chaka that exists in recorded music, thus far. The same Chaka that we have different opinions of!
I think Mariah should have been 3rd place really. The only thing she lacks is a more powerful voice. But she can do whatever the top 2 can do. Overall as an artist she should definitely be ahead of both of them as she writes her own songs. WH never did it and I don’t think Aretha did it either.
She was brutally honest - and very entitled to her opinion. These lists are subjective, I take them with a grain of salt, but hey, I'm not an artist like Chaka Khan.
That’s so sad to hear her say that about women…Period!! We all need to take accountability for our own mistakes and actions Celion Dion not even making the list is so disrespectful and arrogant her voice alone class act we need to EMPOWER women of such stature and professionalism she’s beyond pitiless she’s paved many of her own paths if you don’t have any respect for them you should not belittle them for their achievements some women need no interduction 😊
HELLO, YES YOU ARE THE TOP MY TOPS. I LOVE, LOVE YOUR VOICE TO SING, DANCE, SKATE, COOK, TRAVEL, SHOP, BIKE, BUSINESS, ART, DINE AND MORE. YOUR TALENT IS WORTH WAY MORE THAN A BILLION.
I tell young people Aretha Franklin deserves her spot. I love Whitney. But, Aretha is the original bad girl RiRi (no diss to Rihanna). She had a hit gospel record at 14. She was freakin phenomenal.
"A lot of black people like Christina Aguilera, she's all right", i guess black people hate Celine Dion since she didn't even make the list. Chaka should at least put some respect in Mariah's name, she was definitely a game changer for many singers today, and writing and producing her own music already puts her above most vocalists, she's also so respectful of the Divas that came before her including Aretha and Whitney who loved her btw. If there's anyone deserving to be on that list is Mariah.
Can't say I blame her, but the list isn't only about great singers, but about their influence as well. And someone voted out after her 2nd performance on The Masked Singer, should be a bit more humble.
Celine Dion not making the list is a crime.

She's the ultimate singer that always imitated, never duplicated

She can be honest without putting the other women down and calling them out their names!! All the women on that list are in different ranges. Whitney Houston is and will forever be my #1 and I love Chaka, but there're definitely a few women on that list that I would rank higher than her, I'm sorry but not sorry...and I said what I said🤷🏽♀️
Edit: Rihanna definitely does NOT need to be on that list
To my knowledge, Adele doesn’t diss other female singers, which I'm glad about, because I'm tired of all that nastiness.
It has nothing to do with putting down Women, this is about being a singer. Notice she didn't talk about them personally.
@@Chitownbrotha30 if that's the case, why would she bring up payola? Mariah had nothing to do with that shitty ass Rollingstone list. Chaka just does not seem like a pleasant person. At all.

MARIAH CAREY PAYOLA ?? The lady that produced 19 number one hits the most of any solo artist.. One of the BIGGEST SINGERS to ever EXIST!!! 2 Diamond ALBUMS over 200 Million records worldwide!!! The biggest holiday song EVER produced by MARIAH CAREY !! Literally a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR/ICON .. Chaka done lost her mind !!!!!
Tommy Mottola was acussed of doing Payola for Mariah. All of her songs were played to death on the radio even when the actual physical sales didn't match. Some of her earliest number ones were not as organic as the ones after their divorce when he was saboting her behind the scenes in the late 90s and early 00s. I Don't Wanna Cry, Love Takes Time, Someday all went number one after Vision of Love but they are mostly forgotten today. The Jackson 5 first 4 records went number one and are still getting played till this day from I Want You Back to ABC, I'll Be There which Mariah famously covered in 1992 on her MTV unplugged. The Love You Save is the most underrated one tho. But these are mostly classic records. Vision of Love is the only classic off of her debut but she had a big machine behind her bc Tommy who was the head of Sony wanted a female act from his label to compete with Whitney (Arista/Clive Davis), Madonna (Warner/Maveric) and Janet (Virgin records)
@@angechrisman1694 BYE.. Mariah is literally one of the biggest artist of all time. Her albums sold 10 million copies in the 90s that were brought aint nothing about that payola love.
@@angechrisman1694 Was accused. And you cannot do payola for 1 straight decade - it just wont work if people wont listen and buy your material. Mariah's success is legit.
@@StacyBells0806 Notice how I didn't say a decade straight. I said earlier in her career during her first eras in the early 90s. Tommy was doing everything for her to get #1s. And paying radio stations was alledgedly one of them. Ofc the ppl actually fell in love with Mariah because of her GODGIVEN talent, outstanding voice and songwritting. She's the "Songbird Suprime" after all . But early on the critics thought that she was a studio singer and that's why she wouldn't go on tour. But she also proved them wrong with her MTV unplugged. She was marketed to cater to a wider audience and the media was calling her the "white Whitney" but she denied the accusations and spoke about her biracial identity struggle and racial ambiguity. She was accused of being an industry plant to compete and replace Whitney and she proved them wrong and ended up working with her on "The Prince of Egypt" soundrack with their duet When You Believe (It can be miracles) and they became friends
Not to mention how she's inspired so many big names,xtina,ariana,beyonce, Rihanna, Kelly,duh
Chaka is a legend, she gotta stop being so angry, Mariah has payed her respects to her in the past. This just makes her seem bitter

Facts.
Whitney, Mariah and Whitney were all good. I just happen to know more Mariah songs compared to the others, but they are amazing
You wrote Whitney twice 😉
@@Tee1312Jay I was so confused. 😂 I think they meant Celine.
At 61 years old, Chaka has always been a firecracker. For us who remember when she came out when she was 19, she came out like a stick of dynamite. That I don't take no sh*t attitude is a part of her personality. She's celebrating her 50 years in the business and her 70th birthday on March 23. People can call her acrackhead, dopehead, or whatever. No one can deny her influence on the music industry or her vocal ability.
I'm a huge Chaka fan since 1971 when she joined the band Rufus. She is 69 years old (will be 70 on March 23rd) and she was 17 when she joined the band Rufus. I agree with everything you said
in short, she is rude and offensive, much like that idiot Cardie B. Respectful people can state their case without resorting to insults and hitting below the belt.
Chaka is 70 yrs old she said it publically
Chaka is good but doesn’t mean she should be above alot of the ones she came before that ranked higher. Even for Aretha. Not taking away their talent nor contributions to the music but all legends shouldn’t just be number 1 bc they came before whoever above. She has a right to her opinion and I love her straight forward attitude but still.
Still doesn't mean she should be an egotistical ahole.
Poor chaka. Mariah Carey we love you.
And She knows it!
Mariah is my number one forever. Her voice and range is UNMATCHED and still to this day continues to inspire all these newbie’s. She even inspire Beyonce, Christina, Ariana grande and all dem. Mariah will always be legend Chaka needs to get off her crack Pipe and pipe the fk down.

Chaka might have earned the right to say whatever she wants, but that doesn't mean she's right. Any list that doesn't include Mariah in, at the very least the Top 10, isn't a credible list. And quite frankly, Chaka is delusional if she thinks she should be higher. No ma'am.

U people are delusional have you heard Mariah live her voice is bad and chaka is in her 60s and still has her range she could blow Mariah out the atmosphere if they went one on one . Maybe Mariah from the 90s was good but 2023 Mariah uhh I don't think so .
Absolutely dahling ...
Never was that into Mariah. Not the voice or the music beyond the earlier stuff.
Of the vocal trinity(Whitney, Celine, Mariah), she is the weakest singer: she has the worst technique of them and the smallest voice.
Her whistle notes are pretty crap as well. Most of the time they sound like weak, unsupported squeals. This is coming from a trained classical singer who knows what a whistle note is supposed to sound like.
She had a 5-year voice basically where she sounded decent. Anything after 1995 is just meh. Whitney started her career in ‘84 and sounded amazing up until ‘94 - ‘95, then she got too involved with drugs and ruined her voice. Otherwise, she would’ve probably continued singing well.
Céline is brilliant even today, at 53. Her voice has obviously darkened and changed, but she has the best technique out of the 3.
@@bonotoon5273 You sure have a lot to say about Mariah, but the whole point of the post was about Mariah and Chaka. Is Chaka a better singer than Mariah? The answer is quite simple: no.

Donna Summer should have been in the top 20 for sure! She had one of THE most amazing voices and I feel like she has never truly gotten the praise she deserved.

Exactly! Donna is wayyy underrated in terms of vocal abilities. Of course she wasn't always perfect, but the range she has shows that she's definitely deserve top 10 female vocalist in mainstream music ever!
Because nobody really knows about Donna's talent because she always did those upbeat disco songs. She needed to have some ballads like Whitney did to showcase her voice.
She’s right tho it may appear rude or arrogant but 80% of the singers included in that questionable list can’t do what Chaka KHAN do.
Fact!
Urm mam Mariah is one of if not the best vocalist of all time. Her catalogue is by far better than any other female ever existing. Y’all better not wait until Mariah passes then to see how impact. Facts will always be facts.

Dont get me wrong, I like Mariah, and she can sing, but she does not out sing a lot of other true powerhouse singers, ie. Etta James, Patty Labelle, Whitney,,,
she missed on the mariah take
She has five generations in her audience. That means some of the older fans are about 200 years old. Damn, Chaka. Your audience outlived your music.
Aging gracefully also means being able to accept that you have paved the way for other talented singers and have made a great contribution to the music industry overall. Shading other singers appears a bit juvenile...it's not a good look for Chaka.
That list is definitely upsurd. Christina Aguilera should've been up much higher on the list, Celine Dion not being on there at all makes no sense!
I see nothing wrong with Chakra khan being upfront, and honest. She actually grew up when you actually had to sing ,no tricks or anything else. She is not Fake ,and that's a good thing.
The disrespect was uncalled for. Why the sour mouth? Especially when Mariah’s given her praise in the past. Mariah payola??? A woman that surpassed her career with ease. Her opinions were definitely laughable

@@christinaaguileralegend Beyonce is an entertainer, but she’s also one of the vocalists of the pop industry, MUCH above Christina who is a fiasco on a technical analisys. P!nk amd Kelly have better techniques than her and can do more with their voices, even not cracking all the time as Christina often did (that’s why she was called “the creator of Crack Register” some years ago). Whitney said Christina’s performance of Run To You was the best besides her own, not that Christina was just behind her overall. Even that performance was strained and made easier to sing because Christina’s ability couldn’t handle that song (even Whitney had issues doing it live when it was released and never gave it justice). Etta Tribute was horrible with all the strain and unhealthy raspiness Christina showed. Christina is called The Voice of A Generation because this was the name of a PHILANTHROPIC award she received for her social work, meaning she was the one speaking for the generation on those matters, not because of her voice.

Me too. I’m a black woman and I love Mariah and Christina Aguilera as well. Whitney is better than Aretha in my opinion.
There is only one Chaka Khan! Everyone of those singers would agree.
All I know is that Aretha DESERVES her spot at No.1! I have Whitney tied with her at the Top though with Mariah coming in second after them! A lot of y’all have not heard prime Aretha and just go off her vocals damaged from chain smoking from the late 70s till her old age! Some of her recordings from the 60s even have her singing while sick…you need to search up Aretha’s Columbia albums, especially Unforgettable (A tribute to Dinah Washington) then you’ll see why she’s the Queen. Whitney is INSANE TOO!!! Just an unparalleled Gift from the most high…surreal voice! The 7th wonder of the world! Mariah’s voice…let me not even start! Her angelic belts are unmatched!!!! Extremely skilled vocalist with the best developed whistle register of all time! Chaka is incredible too but I have her slightly below the three women stated above!✨
No I think some of them are just going off her vocal after 1994 or so when she started incorporating the falsetto in her singing.......Aretha still had many amazing vocals from 1980-1994 .
I'm glad you told the TRUTH about Aretha's GREATNESS! I agree with EVERYTHING you said, except that Chaka is not an incredible singer in my opinion. I feel she has barely passed the test as a singer! No dis at all to Chaka, I'm just being almost as honest as she is!

"A lot of black people like Christina Aguilera, she's all right", i guess black people hate Celine Dion since she didn't even make the list. Chaka should at least put some respect in Mariah's name, she was definitely a game changer for many singers today, and writing and producing her own music already puts her above most vocalists, she's also so respectful of the Divas that came before her including Aretha and Whitney who loved her btw.
