[PerfectIllusion 6,616]

Florence in the same category as Lana and lower than Miley C ??? 

Also Gaga is higher than Celine on that list.. Slay i guess but.. not really

[Chic 20,830]

Listen to Jojo's Glory. She's an A.

[Madam Margolyes 7,783]

Here's her vocal profile

Spoiler

Range: F#2 - G5 - C6 (E7)
Longest Note: 20 seconds (The Abramovic Method)
Vocal Type: Lyric Mezzo-Soprano, though Contralto is a common but incorrect perception. (3 Octaves and 3 notes)
Vocal Rating: A
Recommended Listenings: Government Hooker, Speechless, Wonderful, Do What U Want

Positives:
A properly trained singer with great technique. Her belts are resonant and supported well, reaching up to G5 in early recordings, and up to F#5 in Do What U Want. She is capable of rapid firing high belts, (see the last chorus of Marry the Night). Her low notes are very dark and full, but can also mimic a talking voice. Her head voice can be thick with an operatic weight, or light and airy. The contrast in colors in her tone is impressive though her voice sits naturally with a darker tone.

Distinctive, unique vocal phrasing, that allows for her to communicate an array of emotions. Even though she is capable of singing a melisma, she does not overuse the technique to show her abilities. Great legato lines and respectable staccato ones as well. Ability to hold pitches for extended periods without wavering. Her voice can transcend through multiple genres, including balladry, dance/pop, country, jazz and rock.

Her vibrato and placement are some of her strongest points. Her vibrato is wide, controlled with an operatic quality and is executed excellently. Her placement for her belts is becoming stronger over time, there is less strain on her D5's, Eb5's and E5's.

Negatives:
In her early career starting at D5, her belts were shouty and poorly mixed. She rarely uses her head voice live (at least above E5), and lacks projection in that area. After vocal coaching in 2014/2015, her issue mostly lies with mask placement and occasionally dropping support above C5.

Glad to see Adele finally getting what she deserves. I never understood the hype for her voice. She's an amazing human but I've never seen someone more overhyped.

"she does not overuse the technique to show her abililities" - this is probably the best thing about Gaga's singing, like she understand that the pleasure lies in the small details and nuances rather than in constantly belting dem high notes

I was thinking this ranking was just some clickbait fluff till I read the actual profiles- this person clearly knows a lot about music. Still can't see some of the justifications here, though. I know it's about technique but still... Breondon Urie above Adele? Girl please....

It's not. Adèle has an awful technique. She shouts too much and breath control is only "good". Nothing outstanding.

Same. It's not voice but technique. You can like a voice even without technique. That's why I love Sia for exemple, the way her voice cracks etc

[S0436 10,215]

Liam Payne has a voice?!

humbly disagree.

i saw her live at 1 of her 2 sold out Sydney shows of 98,000 people and it was honestly one of the best live performances i've ever experienced.

she was incredible.
it felt like such a personal and individual experience despite her performing in front of 98k other people.

she deserves to be higher of this list, same with Sia (who i'm finally going to see in December!)
