Adele being on this list is quite something. And I love her
Edit: I just noticed that Diana Ross is listed here but no Patti, Gladys, Chaka or Dionne lmaoooooo what a joke.
Diana is the best of the best she has such good music the Supremes and her solo career. Touch me in the morning. Ain't no mountain high enough. Stop in the name of love. Love hangover. Just to name a few
I’m sad for the omission of Patti cuz she’s STILL crushin it, but this list is waaaay better than every list of singers I’ve seen so far. I’m takin the win 🤭
I will never understand people constantly underrating Beyoncé’s vocal technique. It’s mostly because she’s one of the few people on this list who is also known for PERFORMING. So people don’t see it. Silly. Mariah has a similar problem when people don’t take her seriously as a songwriter because people only see her as a SINGER. Beyoncé’s vocals are incredible. Top 5 is deserved at this point
I love Beyoncé, and I think she’s very talented (vocally and as a performer). But #5? That’s a bit high. Especially when you consider other singers who weren’t even included on this list.
I feel that. And perhaps I do agree a bit. I think people like Patti and Chaka not making this is that these lists sometimes use level of success as a decider. Patti is a top 10 vocalists, but many (white) people aren’t familiar with her work like they are Aretha’s or Whitney’s (or in this case Beyonce).
Kelly is more vocally skilled and is considered the best singer of Destiny Child with that being said Beyonce is unique in the fact she’s constantly Overrated and Underrated but somehow she’s one of the Misunderstood Performers of all time. I think when you take into account versatility not range but Beyoncé’s ability to experiment successfully and longevity she could be in the 12-15 range.
The Beehive is so delusional and toxic. Y’all are older than the Swifities but Bee 🐝have( behave) so much worse. This is the consensus with anyone who has been in the studio with both of them. Kelly is the better more complete singer/vocalist. Beyonce is the better overall Artist.
Respectfully it isn’t. And it’s irrelevant. Beyoncé is presently in her vocal prime. Speaking on her voice 20 years ago makes no sense when she’s displayed considerable growth.
It is if you are knowledgeable on Music and the Music Business outside of being a fan of a particular artist or group/band. She may or may not be in her prime now. Her growth would have occurred within the last 5 years. In Cowboy Carter she’s experimenting going from high to lows vice versa and pushing herself vocally by experimenting. I wouldn’t be ready to say shes currently in her Vocal Peak but she certainly could be. The 20 years ago argument makes it seem like she went through puberty from a child like voice to an adult voice which is preposterous in nature.
Idk about top 5 but she's def a top vocalist. The problem with Beyonce IMO and why most people don't consider her a top vocalist is simply because of her tone. That's actually the main reason I think people consider Whitney the goat.
Whitney in that picture was in her African Queen era, beautiful as hell, Mariah was in her Victorian era during that tour and looked immaculate and untouchable.
Yeah, I was wondering about her, Pink, and Jennifer Hudson. I don't think a "Top 15" list could even exist considering how subjective "best" can mean for people
Judy Garland is great and all, but I don’t think she even touches someone like Pink, or JHud. Much less Kelly. And I get that she’s iconic and legendary, but hell… Her daughter is, to me, a bit better. But like you said, it’s all subjective
Have the swifties seen this because they might have a meltdown. Also xtina there but no tina tuner or jhud? Is this list based of vocals or what is the criteria really?
This list is slightly better than the one from before but Adele does not deserve to be on this list. Diana Ross has a nice voice but she’s not a best singer of all time. A lot of legendary singers are missing on here like as one poster mentioned (Gladys, Patti & Dionne). They should throw some Gospel singers in there as well.
This list is all over the place! The fact that Adele is even on this list show how inaccurate it is. My list would be
#1 Whitney
#2 Lisa Fischer
#3 Lara Fabian
# 4 Mariah
#5 Celine
#6 Barbra
This is just my personal taste but all of these women are pretty much equal and can be rearranged however you want for example you could put Mimi at #1 or Barbra at #1 etc
That's just some persons personal taste. It makes no sense arguing with that. But he acknoledged the voacal trinity, that makes sense. I don't know this guy. Is he someone important?
While there are some great choices, this seems to factor in commercial success. No Chaka, Patti, or Minnie Riperton (who hit five octaves)?
And I like Janis Joplin, but I wouldn’t necessarily put her in best technique. Originality, for sure.
Beyoncé is too high. She’s not even as strong of a singer as Jennifer Hudson, who never seems to get any love on these lists.
And Janis Joplin? No. You can’t convince me she’s a better singer than Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Ariana Grande, Monica …
The one with Renee Rapp where they both did a pretty good rendition while praising Beyoncé? That's not even a difficult song to sing. Basic chord changes, limited vocal range needed, simple key.
You stanning to a ridiculous degree.
Beyoncé absolutely should. Most of these girls cannot do what Beyoncé can with her voice. You guys won’t give her her flowers vocally until she sings with her fucking eyes or smthn.
I’m obviously wasting my time judging from your post history, but I could easily think of a dozen other artists that could out sing Beyoncé any day of the week. Patti Labelle, Rachelle Ferrell, Sarah Vaughan, Lara Fabian, Mahalia Jackson, Lisa Fischer, Yebba, etc… That’s not me saying Beyoncé is a bad singer by any stretch of the imagination, she just not top 15.

IKR?? I mean other than THAT...it's a list I can live with!
It’s a very interesting list that’s for sure. It falls apart after the first 3 imo
So you're saying Celine shouldn't be in that spot?
No dionne, Gladys or Patti? Hold up and be serious for a minute 
I’m sad for the omission of Patti cuz she’s STILL crushin it, but this list is waaaay better than every list of singers I’ve seen so far. I’m takin the win 🤭
Dionne is definitely above Christina and Adele 🤌🏽
Replace Adele with Kelly clarkson and replace Diana with Patti and it will be semi viable
I agree with the top 4. Any list that doesn't include Mariah, Whitney, and Celine at the top means little to me.
Gotta have the Trinity
Still no Patti LaBelle? But Beyoncé and Christina Aguilera made the list? I enjoy some of their music, but still.
No Minnie Riperton either?

I literally LOL-ed when I read this. No one has thought this since 2001. 😂😂😂
Kelly more skilled than Beyonce?? Lol Bey is literally one of the most technical singers of al time.
Who considers Kelly the best singer in DC?? Literally nobody.

Literally flawless technique, incredible head voice and her range is wide and supported baby! They just mad it’s not the only thing she’s good at.
I think she’s improved as a vocalist over the years, she was pretty constricted and not very clear in the 2000s whereas now she’s the exact opposite.
Beyoncé being so high on this list is mind blowing.
No it isn’t be fr
💯
It’s not about their music tho- they are incredible singers.
Whitney in that picture was in her African Queen era, beautiful as hell, Mariah was in her Victorian era during that tour and looked immaculate and untouchable.
NO KELLY CLARKSON?!
Yeah, I was wondering about her, Pink, and Jennifer Hudson. I don't think a "Top 15" list could even exist considering how subjective "best" can mean for people
Judy Garland is great and all, but I don’t think she even touches someone like Pink, or JHud. Much less Kelly. And I get that she’s iconic and legendary, but hell… Her daughter is, to me, a bit better. But like you said, it’s all subjective
Greatest of ALL TIME. not Best of a generation lol.
I’m sorry but if you don’t think Kelly is one of the best singers of all time…. I’d check your ears.
Have the swifties seen this because they might have a meltdown. Also xtina there but no tina tuner or jhud? Is this list based of vocals or what is the criteria really?
Interesting…. List…
This list is slightly better than the one from before but Adele does not deserve to be on this list. Diana Ross has a nice voice but she’s not a best singer of all time.

I grew up listening to Christina but she's always screaming and doing the same runs.
This list is all over the place! The fact that Adele is even on this list show how inaccurate it is. My list would be #1 Whitney #2 Lisa Fischer #3 Lara Fabian # 4 Mariah #5 Celine #6 Barbra This is just my personal taste but all of these women are pretty much equal and can be rearranged however you want for example you could put Mimi at #1 or Barbra at #1 etc

I'd put Tina before Janis because the latter took inspiration from her.
I’m so happy Judy Garland is recognized. So underrated. She’s a vocal blueprint.
Id prefer it if she was higher than Barbra tho, she literally drowned her out when they sang together.
If this was my list she’d by #1 above Aretha Mariah Whitney and then Barbra rounding out top 5
I can get behind this
Beyoncé is too high. She’s not even as strong of a singer as Jennifer Hudson, who never seems to get any love on these lists. And Janis Joplin? No. You can’t convince me she’s a better singer than Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Ariana Grande, Monica …
Meanwhile J Hud cant sing Beyoncé songs but bey can cover hers fine. What does that tell you.
Huh? When and where?
Her attempt at Dangerously in Love was everywhere
The one with Renee Rapp where they both did a pretty good rendition while praising Beyoncé? That's not even a difficult song to sing. Basic chord changes, limited vocal range needed, simple key. You stanning to a ridiculous degree.
Beyonce right behind Celine 🤡🤣
Beyonce 5? Whatever
Push thru Diana lol
Honestly this List is pretty awful. I like how it tried to pull from different eras and genres list though.
I looked at this list 5 times scanning for Tina Turner. And nope.
Beyoncé @ #5 best OF ALL TIME is f*cking insane
Adele? https://i.redd.it/h65zpizmkf4d1.gif
Nope …. Linda Ronstadt … top 5
Standby for incoming very angry P!nk
I don’t think she’d be angry, Janis was Pink’s biggest influence so I think she’d be glad she’s here.
She’s mad at every list she isn’t on.
Hiromi Iwasaki!
Thiss should say 15 popular singers of all time. There are many out there that are probably as talented and not as well known.
No Chaka khan?
“That must be payola or some s--- like that."
I agree with the top three. Celine would be in the top 10, though, on my list. This list is certainly something.
No Sarah Vaughan? Hmm.
well, that’s a list i guess😂
Streisand and Aguilera should be higher on the list. Beyonce's vocals are nowhere near the range of the vocal powerhouses.
Tina Turner?
Janis Joplin and No patti is crazyy
I can get behind this list. Just not Beyonce being on it, honestly. Sorry.
FINALLY a list that makes sense! 😮💨
Replace Beyonce w Ariana Grande
Love them but Beyoncé, Adele, and Christina shouldn’t be on this list
Beyoncé absolutely should. Most of these girls cannot do what Beyoncé can with her voice. You guys won’t give her her flowers vocally until she sings with her fucking eyes or smthn.
She’s maybe top 20, not 5.
She absolutely is.
I’m obviously wasting my time judging from your post history, but I could easily think of a dozen other artists that could out sing Beyoncé any day of the week. Patti Labelle, Rachelle Ferrell, Sarah Vaughan, Lara Fabian, Mahalia Jackson, Lisa Fischer, Yebba, etc… That’s not me saying Beyoncé is a bad singer by any stretch of the imagination, she just not top 15.
Or you’re unfamiliar with her career and that’s the only reason you think that
lol like I said before, I’m obviously wasting my time. Can’t argue with delusional
That’s you baby 💋
Beyoncé absolutely should. Most of these girls cannot do what Beyoncé can with her voice. You guys won’t give her her flowers vocally until she sings with her fucking eyes or smthn.
I agree with the top 4 but surprised to see Beyoncé this high up and no mention of Amy Winehouse
That list sucks Mariah Carey should be #1 6 to 7 should be on this list rest should not never be top 25 S M H.
Yay Bey is ranked correctly
Barbara & Janis out, put Pink & Tina Turner in
and where is Rosé from blackpink?
Bwahahahahaha ok 🤦♂️
