      There's so many definitions of greatest, like technical talent (runs, range, etc.), most influential singers (inspired next generation like Elvis, or music shifts like Colbain), or other definitions.
      Even for technical talent you'd have to block all the opera singers(like Pavarotti) or most people wouldn't recognize most of the list, so picking a limited genre could be important.

      I don't agree with their list, but I have to disagree with you.
      " Greatest singers " doesn't mean " Most technical singer " , if that's what it means to you then that's fine.
      But great vocal technique is like . . . having great quality tools to work with. It doesn't ensure you'll make a masterpiece, but it can help.
      I mean Whitney Houston is one of the most highly regarded singers ever and yet. . . she was outdone by lesser singers all the time. Compare her national anthem to Cher's and you can see that higher technique doesn't guarantee performance or overall skill in performing a piece.

      You kind of just picked everyone with the top sales who is in every vocal simp's Top 10 pretty much, minus Etta...
      It always really disappoints me that we ONLY seem to think vocal technique matters when talking about " The best singers " because . . . if that's the case how come no one is putting Dimash? --- It's because people have been putting the same people at the top for a long time and putting someone young and new there is controversial despite him having OCTAVES and classical technique over everyone listed.
      I'd however never put him because I find his vocal choices gaudy, repulsive, not well chosen, damaging to the pieces he performs because he just wants to show off rather than perform the piece to its greatest standard. He instead looks for every chance to showcase his voice.
      but yeah I think there are far more interesting singers than who everyone is listing though I DO love some Aretha and Etta and M.J. and even Mariah sometimes.
      Like what about Donna Summer, Shirley Bassey and Kate Bush? What about Ann Wilson and Cyndi Lauper and Cher? MAHALIA JACKSON?!?
      I mean Cyndi has a whistle register and matches guitar riffs and has one of the best aged voices I've heard and CHER is the ONLY successful pop alto of all time and made history for having a hit in 6 decades in a row. You hear those women sing and you KNOW it is them.

    I think the term greatest wasn't necessarily used to describe the best vocal abilities or techniques but the legacy those singers left in the world of music. Also, countdown of 100 greatest singers of all time doesn't necessarily mean ranking them from the least to most important or influential, but merely just naming them in this group. My top five (although very hard to decide) would probably be Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson.

      The title says " Top 100 Singers of All Time" , it doesn't say " Most technical "
      While I still don't AGREE with their choices . . . Let's not pretend the " Vocal Trinity " are the best singers. They're great but let's not pretend they're untouchable.
      1. Do you think it's a coincidence that all these " Huge technical vocalists " are attractive women? No, they were SELECTED. People with larger ranges and better technique are out there and HAVE been. They're just not marketable.
      2. Your measurement of what a good singer is probably limited to vocal technique and range. That stuff helps but if you don't have magic in those vocal chords you just don't have it. Luckily those women have some.
      3. If all you care about is vocals then you'd be asking about singers like Dimash, but you're not despite him having better technique and a larger range? Why? Because he doesn't have that magic.
      4. Let's not pretend like the Vocal Trinity hasn't been shown up by lesser singers before, ESPECIALLY Whitney.

(2008) Snoop Dogg: When I was locked up in jail, “Vision of Love” was the hottest song in the world. I used to always say, “Man, if I could meet her!” (2005) Mary J. Blige: Mariah Carey’s music saved little ghetto children’s lives… we would sing those songs and try to hit every note. (2005) Jermaine Dupri: If you put Mariah Carey on one side of the street and you put one of these other artists on the other side and say, “Sing,” who gonna win? That’s cut-and-dry. (2014) Justin Bieber: My favorite singer is Mariah Carey. (2015) Simon Cowell: Unbelievable songwriter. Interesting, unpredictable. (2011) Janet Jackson: I don’t think people give Mariah enough credit. She was wonderful in Glitter. (2006) Adele: Mariah is the ultimate diva. (2011).
      Do I need to add some more?

    I hope that Rolling Stones specified, when they published this list, that it was top 100 singers of the 20th century, english speaking (basically American or British, though there are some Irish, I think) and of very specific genres.

    The Rolling Stones magazine lists are often weird. Like BuzzFeed of a generation past. 🤣

    I'm surprised Eric Clapton wasn't on the list. I wonder if Joel listens to him bc he said he liked Steve Winwood's voice, and they sound similar, and also have done a collab.

    I think some of these singers are on this list not only for voice but also for being icons and musicians peoples look up to

    How the hell was Freddie Mercury not top 10 on this list?
