I really like Christina, but give me a break! Number 58 of all time?

Steve Perry in the top 100 at all?

Steven Tyler down at 99?

Honestly there are some serious omissions
from that list and without a doubt some of
those on the list don't even belong there.

The majority of them I would classify
as song stylist not singers.

Here are a few singers that should have been
at the top of the list.

Ella Fitzgerald
Nancy Wilson
Sarah Vaughan
Dakota Staton
Carmen McRae

Steve Winwood? Better voice than Whitney Houston?

Where's Tom Jones? Amazing voice.

Personally I think Christina Aguilera should be top 5, if judged by her vocal talent alone. Bob Dylan? Great music, but not a great singer. Same for Mick Jagger. Maybe I'm looking at this wrong. Perhaps should have been titled top entertainers?

Art GAYfunkel....oy

Edith Piaf! fantastique!

If you need a really good reason to question this list, click on Toots Hibbert #71. Then listen to track 2

My vote is for Freddie Mercury (Queen Lead Singer)... Flamboyant or not his 4 octave range and showmanship puts him near the top...#18 is not bad but some ahead of him don't come close in terms of vocals and showmanship.
