I disagree, she’s one of the best! Are you talking about some of her old performances?

No, of course no. I watched Sweetener Tour videos, and I noticed she likes to give mic to fans ('sing you singers' thing). Especially when she performs 7 Rings. 

I didn't mean her vocals are weak, she screams good.

I love it when artists do that

Yeah but not when they do it 100000 times during performance.

There's a whole world out of the US and English speaking countries.

Whatever about Gaga,

LOL the “who?” People are here. Y’all need to expand your music tastes beyond top 40’s and Stan culture.

Any link to where this comes from?

It looks made up. If we are talking about singers, MJ would never be number 1. 

Consequence of Sound is the missing link between mainstream pop culture and the underground.

Over the past 13 years, the New York and Chicago-based online publication has accrued a devoted readership in the millions for its reliability, precision, and character with regards to music, television, and film. It’s a voice that wants to pat one’s shoulders, not stand on them.

This list is complicated because *technically* Björk has terrible technique (or did pre-vocal surgery) as did Adele. That said, they’re both incredibly evocative singers. I guess I’d be curious to know by what metrics they’re basing this off of.

 

That Annie Lennox and Patti Smith are below Madonna is...interesting. Madonna can obviously sing but I would never say she’s one of the absolute greatest *of all time*

Really? Michael Jackson at #1? I have to laugh 

where’s Ariana Grande?

Michael at #1 makes sense depending upon the metrics you’re weighing this list by. He was an incredibly versatile vocalist both in his prime and later years (regardless of what he may or may not have done, legally speaking). Idk how they measured this, but Michael appearing on it isn’t that surprising to me. Tbh Madonna being here is a bigger shock as she’s a good singer but not someone I’d rank incredibly highly.
