Yeah who is it?
I think it's gotta be Freddy Mercury, second place probably MJ but he's nowhere near anything that Freddy was.
Any other people? :)

I don't think you can necessary compare people with complete different genders. There is no doubt the two you mentioned are great singers but for example how can you compare a folk singer with a rockstar because they're aiming for different things!! They might be wicked at folk songs but can't sing a rock song to save their life.
bob dylan id say.
i liked elvis
beyonce -giggle
chris brown ;)
Hayley Willamzzz... :rolleyes:
Don't think you can judge the best singer ever, cause they are all good in their own rights, course some are better than others in their own genre's.
i do think mariah carey has an awesome voice though :lol:
if we're going based on power house female vocalists then christina aguilera steals the crown. the likes of leona, beyonce (who i literally adore) and even mariah now don't come close to her standards.
the best performer is beyonce.
vocals, dancing, presence. she's THE all rounder.
christina whitney celine mariah for the girls, christina slightly wins tho soz.
MJ def, what bout annie lennox, sam cooke, john lennon etc?!!!
ah yes john lennon, still not as good as freddy though :)
CELINE DION.

most of my favorite vocalists are terrible singers.
A good singer is versatile and can sound good singing anything.Quote:

Jim Kerr from Simple Minds has an amazing voice. Same with Phil Oakey from Human League.
Patti Labelle deffo yeah, and Mary J Blige will always have a special place in my eardrums.Quote:

Why hasnt anyone said me? I obv pwn all the rest...
Morrissey
i think the soul singers have the best hit at this, because they can hit the strongest and longest notes. probably christina because i heard shes one of teh only people who can hit some really high note for over 5 seconds or something.
hmm probably katie price
I agreeQuote:

Leona Lewis has an amazing voice as well but Beyonce definitely.
Whitney Houston.
i dunno.
You mean because they are and/or sound black. Which is why Leona Horseface fails because she sounds like a soulless weak white girl with no conviction.Quote:

Although for females, I'd say Christina Aguilera. Her voice is amazing.

I'd say Elvis was well known and good, as was Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury. I like their songs even though their music is quite old.
imo.
Ronnie James Dio
Freddie Freddie Freddie.
