2 K. S. Chithra Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. Chithra also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music.

She has this mesmerizing voice and she is gorgeous just like her voice..

3 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

How can Katy Perry be the top? I mean, Katy Perry is all right, but she's just average! Taylor Swift is so decent, I mean she never does anything that's INDECENT! Taylor sings well, her songs are original and creative, she is very pretty, she has good taste. And by the way, Taylor Swift has 4 official albums and so many other singles and works too, while Katy Perry manages to struggle 2 albums!

Taylor Swift is an amazing singer. She has never had a single scandal in her name and her songs have absolutely no stupid swear words in them. I find her songs very meaningful and it connects with me. She should be higher up on this list. I know almost all her songs and am looking forward to her next album. Good luck, Taylor!

4 Eminem Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil. Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide.

Eminem deserves first place in my opinion! Let me tell you that I could name many people who would agree with me. Eminem is beyond amazing. And to all the people who think lil' wayne or niki manaj is better, I will say they rock but all they rap about is drugs and stuff. Eminem doesn't. He is the king of rap and could take on any rapper ever! All I'm saying is I love Eminem and you should too because he's beast!

Eminem is the best singer in the world because unlike most singers in the world can't wright about there life. Eminem on the other hand he can. Eminem can make his life from hart braking to something vary emotional and powerful. Eminem doesn't just wright about his wife he wrights about his babies and other major people in his life that makes his life. Em you're the best rapper in the world and don't stop singing no matter what!

Eminem is so awesome that he should be in the first place... Eminem has helped many people come over their sad times... His songs give us motivations to live more happy life.. He is the king of rap and there should not be a doubt on that... The other rap singers are also good like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and etc but Eminem is better. He raps about everything... Mostly life issues... I can go forever saying about Eminem but I need to go..

Common shady fans.. Vote for him... :P :D

Gentlemen, the best is not always the most loved. Somebody has to please the low brained average music listener. We all know Eminem is the best rapper ever to have grabbed a mic, and probably one of the best writers in history. But ok, truth is real Eminem's fans don't care & bother in competitive polls, they'd rather go listen to a song. I'm off to that, cya all

5 Bruno Mars Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and choreographer. ...read more.

Bruno Mars should be 1st or 2nd, because of his songs, the main reason being Grenade. He has an AMAZING voice, and all of his songs are just perfect! Bruno mars is Way better than Justin Bieber. Go Bruno Mars!

Bruno mars and Adele are no doubt the top. To others who think Katy perry or Taylor swift or Justin bieber are better need to listen to live versions of their songs. And I'm not talking about ones where they lip synch

I love Bruno Mars he is absolutely amazing. He deserves to get number one or number 2 of this year even though he only had 1 or 2 new songs but they are much better than Minaj.

He sings with meaning and not to mention he is absolutley gorgeous. He touches everyones heart with his lyrics and his wonderful vocal range. In my opinion bruno mars should be at number one. Everyone loves bruno!

6 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

Nicki Minaj is amazing! She isn't like a celebrity who thinks they are better than others. On the Ellen show there were 2 little girls who sung her song and were really good. She loved them and took them on a shopping spree and gave them advice to stay in school. She is a good celebrity who wouldn't die of alcohol or drugs.

She is amazing I am her number 1 superfan my bedroom is covered on nicki minaj posters! I so want to meet you nicki - onika and your. Songs are like so Barbie like though some others are so true I have been supporting you right since young money cash money and in 10 years time I don't want you to not be rapping and singing o no I want you to be the worlds most famous human in music HISTORY! Love ya to bits! Xxx

Who would vote for ok singers like Katy Perry and Kesha? Nicki has rap that you actually want to listen to because she makes it interesting.

Shes just... Wow. Seriously, she's really come along this year. Super bass was a hit, then starships and pound the alarm came..

7 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international ...read more.

I think adele is the best because on her album 21 she sold more copies than Michael jackson thriller. Also she sold over 4.4 billon copies. ALSO one of her songs was number one for 37 weeks. Also she got six grammy awards, and two britain awards.

Adele's voice is so distinguishable, and it's so beautiful! Unlike most artists, she uses real instruments (like piano) and uses her own beautiful voice with no autotune. Her music also has extremely meaningful lyrics. Adele should be #1

Uum...
How does Adele reach ONLY 25 on this list?
She has some of the best vocals of the decade. She deserves at lest #1.
My number 2. Katy Perry #1. Laugh out loud. Katy Perry deserves 10 or 15.
Also were is Carly Rae Jepsen
Kick that beaver out of the list to

Laugh out loud, I wanna know who made this list... > I think he's from other world...
Common guys... Don't compare ADELE with any of the singers ever, she's the unique and she's one of her kind... It's like
GOD out of mercy sent this angel down to earth for us... In this world only ADELE deserves the god's angel crown... Love you ADELE ADKINS

8 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning ...read more.

She is great. She can't be beat and she was found a great singer. The other singers jiggle around with thheir voice so that it is better. Hers is natural. Like herself. She is beautiful... WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Rihanna is just great. We found love, umbrella, Russian roulette, take a bow, where have you been, stay, shut up and drive, unfaithful... The list goes on! 1

I think this list is a joke. Everyone knows rihanna is one of the biggest pop stars out there. Keep going riri, you are number 1, it's a fact.

Rihannas such a talented singer! I've always really loved her voice, it's always so strong and beautiful. Vote vote vote rihanna!

9 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

Justin Drew Bieber, born March 1st in Canada is an amazing singer with incredible talent. He sings, plays piano, guitar and drums. He is very good at basketball and is currently making a basketball movie with Mark Crilley. He has a popular movie, 'Never Say Never'. He was in Guiness World Records for most views on the Internet until PSY beat him on December 21, 2012. This amazing Canadian teen is not afraid to share his story and was asked to be in the film '50 Shades of Grey'! This phenominal star had inspired lots of people and, in my opinion, deserves a higher rank.

I love Justin so so much, I adore my boy, he is perfect and I love everything about him, he is my favourite singer in the whole world and in February I will see him on a concert! I know that my dream will come true and one day I will be able to speak to him face to face and give him a hug! I love him loads and I know he loves me because he says he loves his beliebers loads!

Um. Why is he not number 1?!? He's amazing and deserves his credit for growing up in front of the spotlight, gaining millions of loyal, dedicated fans, having an outstanding voice, being absolutely gorgeous, and being the sweetest most generous guy ever. Oh and his music is inspirational, heartwarming, honest, emotional, passionate and Grammy worthy

I love Justin Bieber he's so caring and a great inspiration. He showed me as long as you want it you can achieve it if you try. He's got an amazing voice and I can't wait to hear more of his music. I think he deserves a higher rank for 2013 for Shur. He deserves 1st place and I really hope he get's it soon. By the way I'm his biggest fan so I know he deserves better.

10 P!nk Alecia Beth Moore known professionally as P!NK, is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actress.

Yes everyone else is good but p! Nk has a something about her and her songs to me like she has a meaning to every song she does and shes got a great voice-she should definitely be number 1! I just love her but to be honest its who we all like really and all these people have grate voices.

She gives me inspiration in drama and my life wouldn't be complete without her inspiration.

If you want to listen to a song with a bunch of power Pink is your choice

Pink is the best

The Contenders
11 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

GaGa is the best singer that ever god would created. How can you said that gaga is the second place in the top 10 most famous singer in 2012? Sorry but I think TayTay more great than katy itself. But TayTay is just a little thing in front of GaGa's achievement, so? Can give me more logical reasons why gaga placed in second?

Lady Gaga is the best singer ever because she has made a lot for her fans. Besides, Stefani has many awards. No one could have won a great amount of different award.

You have your own style, your own clothes ( you invented ) damn it your amazing you truly are the queen, the Mother monster.

Unlike any other artist she has REAL TALENT! Have you heard her performances with tony bennett they're just amazing.

12 Jessie J Jessica Ellen Cornish, better known by her stage name Jessie J, is an English singer and songwriter. Born and raised in London, she began her career on stage, aged 11, with a role in the West End musical Whistle Down the Wind.

Jessie J has soul and she sounds good live well, she sounds better in live than recording. She also has wide vocal range and can play with her voice. "Who You Are" was just perfect.

She's an flawless amazing singer, top swag, she's a true artist, FLAWLESS LIVE, TO me she's the hottest in the world an amazing inspiration her songs are inspiring...

Jessie j is absoulutly amazing she is my number one idol and I would love to be as talented as sge is, I have enjoyes all her songs and mfavourites are lazerlight, domino, price tag and who's laughing now!
She is GREAT!

Jessie j is amazing I Got so much respect for her shes beautiful!

13 Kelly Clarkson Kelly Brianne Clarkson is an American singer, songwriter and children's book author. She rose to fame in 2002 after winning the inaugural season of the television series American Idol, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records. Clarkson's debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard ...read more.

Kelly Clarkson is 20th on the list? Are you kidding me? How in the world can anyone honestly think that Kesha, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Flo Rida, Chris Brown, Rihanna and everyone else is better than her! Whoever thinks that obviously needs their hearing checked because none of them can hold a candle to Kelly when they sing live! Her voice is absolutely incredible!

Kelly Clarkson has the best singing I had ever heard. Compared to Taylor Swift and Justin Biber, her songs are the best. I always kept listening to her old songs every single chance I can on a free time. Taylor Swift's "Never Ever" was kind of annoying, listening to the same lyrics. Same thing to most of the other singers

Katy second and Taylor Third? Seriously they can't sing to save their lives. Kelly Clarkson easily should be the first, that's why she won a T.V. show. If Taylor was there she won't pass the audition... And I think Eminem is a rapper not a singer. This list is a mass!

Kelly Clarkson rocks! She should at least be in the top ten. My favourite Kelly Clarkson song is Dark Side but Mr. Know It All is brilliant and What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger). How can Ke$ha and Eric Saade be ahead of her? Even Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry shouldn't be ahead of her.

14 Demi Lovato Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends as a child, she received her breakthrough role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

She is the most strongest, honest and incredible women ever lived! She has gone through so many things and she came back to our world with a big smile. Her voice is not like any singer we have heard nowadays! She has such a powerful voice and she knows how to use it properly! I can't wait for her 4th album!

She has the prettiest voice I've ever heard my entire life! Her voice goes with every type of music, she deserves to be #1, her voice is pretty even when she talks! And then she is so talented! She acts, sings, writes songs, plays guitar and Piano very well, directed a video music!

Demi's album doesn't have a single bad song in it and that's pretty rare for any singer. Plus she has one of the strongest voices in the industry and a great tone which again is pretty rare. Yet she is so underrated and deserves a lot more credibility for her work and deserves no. 1

I love Demi's voice and she really has grown since camp rock. She's an inspiration to get back if we fall. She has a great voice for such young age, I hope she gets far. She deserves it. Love you Demi. Keep up the great work!

15 Usher Usher Terry Raymond IV is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Born in Dallas, but raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee was where he lived until moving to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 12 where his mother put him in local singing competitions all over the city.

He is one of the best singers I know. One of his songs that might be a good hit for you is kiss kiss.

Usher is fantastic

16 Ke$ha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. Kesha is an animal rights activist and she works for H.S.I. (Humane Society International). Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America

AMAZING WHO COULD HATE HER! She's the best singer on that list! I hate Justin bibber and nicki minaj looks like a Barrie doll! Who ever put Katy perry and adele on that list and eminem they need a music lessOn! Get a life and listen to this awesome person! Vote hr she's the best I'm her number 1 ANIMAL!

She is a great singer, great performer, sexy girl
She is every thing and auto tune fits her very much
I love her debut album anima even though it's a little bit old now but I still listen to it
And her new album warrior is pumpin'

Kesha is the best female singer in the world. Shes come up with awesome songs blow, tiktok and I listen to tiktok 1000 times a day No can beat her. She definitely deserves a place in the top 10

17 Flo Rida Tramar Lacel Dillard, better known by his stage name Flo Rida is an American rapper and pop music artist from Carol City, Florida. He is known for songs such as "Low", "Right Round", "Sugar", "Club Can't Handel Me", "Good Feeling", "Whistle", "Wild Ones", "My House" and "GDFR."

I pick Flo Rida because I like the song wild ones and other kinds of songs of his.

He has come out with so many hits this year, he deserves to be number 1 in my opinion. I love his song I CRY

I mean he does have one of the most inappropriate songs of the 2000s but he has a great voice and if you don't look at it the dirty way, whistle is a really really great song

I love his song whistle my and my friends listened to it for months

Hahah, Chris Brown isn't all autotune. Get your facts straight before you say something. Maybe check these songs out live, All Back, Crawl, With You etc. And then we will talk again. Team Breezy forever

20 Carly Rae Jepsen Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter from Mission, British Columbia, and later based in Vancouver. She is best known for her hit song "Call Me Maybe" which topped many charts in 2012.

Carly Rae Jepsen is an untalented turd who is famous for being a one hit wonder. Why is she even an option?

She should be 1all the great songs she made that year.
