1 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age.

The phrasing, cadence and tone of her voice mesh perfectly with the workings of the natural world. This observation is not set in a way that limits each song to only one specific circumstance (sunrise, sunset, etc. ); but rather, it is a peculiarity that her vocals fit any situation within the natural world. Not that this phenomenon is specific to Jackie alone, but she does do a more perfect work in the effect produced. Out here, on the plains, where the vistas are breathtakingly grand, the grandeur of Jackie's voice matches the scenery perfectly. Jackie has a tonal quality so rich, so powerful, so majestic that her's alone could fill the Grand Canyon, or duet with the roaring Colorado River, or give the Rocky Mountains their voice, or dance a waltz with the wind as it blows across the prairie.

As a "for instance", the 2014 Memorial Day PBS Special had an excellent program, with several singers, each doing their part. Jackie's two songs were the "heavy lifting' songs of the entire program. As a memorial program, she had to do her part just right. My point? Jackie, a 14 year old girl, was entrusted with this important task ahead of everyone else for the beauty of her voice, and the sincerity of her delivery, and the fact that there is no one out there who can reach into the audience's inner soul like Jackie can. She is head and shoulders better than anyone I've ever seen.

Jackie's Memorial Day Concert performance was unforgettable, her new single "Think of Me" is a delight, and now she has recorded "Rains of Castamere" for Yahoo Music. By year-end she will have added a new PBS Great Performances Special, a new CD "Awakening" and will be going global with her international tour. This is the year of Jackie!

Her singing has a sound all of it's own I don't think she should be compared to anyone else. There is No other singer that can bring out the emotions of people like Jackie. Best of all is her fantastic personality.

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.

Chithra is simply the best there is. If you like your music to be melodic, tuneful and sung with perfect pitch then look no further. I have not seen her equal in all my years of listening to all kinds of music. She seems to be an interpretive genius.

There is no other singer that can bring out the emotions of people like Chithra.

She has the most unbelievably beautiful voice I've ever heard, in all my almost 50 years!

My brother even has posters of her, he is her number 1 fan, he's like in love with her, and he's about the same age as her, about 28, or 29
