You know what no one can sing like mj no one. I love his songs so much. His voice was just so good. Moreover the control that he had on his voice was awesome. The way he used to sing was really very impressive. I think I really am in love with his voice. Plus some of his songs really very meaningful. Now for acting I think his acting was nice... Very nice indeed. As he was a dancer also (and that too not a dancer THE BEST DANCER OF THE WHOLE WORLD) his expressions were also very good... ;-)

I don't understand how people like Justin Bieber and Adam Levigne and even Justin Timberlake can be on here.

Sure, Justin Bieber has talent, I won't deny that, but he is definitely not one of the best.

Adam Levigne, I don't even need to say anything.

Justin Timberlake deserves to be on here way more than the other two because he can sing and act, but still not top ten. Especially when we are missing people like:

Stevie Wonder
Frank Sinatra and many others.

Michael Jackson however definitely deserves his place here.

Did you guys hear? We are all willing to give Justin and Miley to god for our beloved Michael back. It's on Facebook go and check now!

Michael JACKSON THE KING OF POP FOREVER AND EVER... NO ONE CAN REPLACE, HE IS THE KING OF MUSIC AND DANCE.

2 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album 'The Debut', was her eighth consecutive release to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart. In 2017, Evancho performed the U.S. national anthem at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump and became the youngest person ever to perform a concert series at Café Carlyle.

Still very young, but is already being called the most beautiful human voice ever recorded, broke Michael Jackson's record as youngest artist in US chart history to have a Platinum CD, had her own PBS "Great Performances" T.V. Concert Special TWICE, and also had her acting debut as Robert Redford's daughter in "The Company You Keep". Her talent is limitless.

Fifteen-year-old Jackie is modest about her accomplishments as both a singer and an actress. But she has what it takes to handle either or both roles with competence and confidence.

3 Whitney Houston Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, Guinness World Records cited her as the most awarded female act of all time. Houston is one of pop music's best-selling music artists of all-time, with an estimated 170–200 ...read more.

She had a VOICE, A FACE and A BODY that went together! Too bad she didn't
Realize that; and, fell to things and people that brought her down.
No matter, she still is number "1". An amazing person!

With more than 427 awards, she still is most awarded singer of all time. With the voice can make the earthquake, she is Queen of pop, Prom queen of soul, and the ultimate the voice.

Michael couldn't sing. He was a great dancer and performer, get your priorities in check. Janet sing better than him.

True legend... Best singer... Greatest love of all... The voice... My angel... We will always love you Nippy!

4 Justin Timberlake Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer. Born and raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child.

Jt is multi talented and his music is much more meaning full than justin Bieber. He is also more mature as an actor and has played in a a diversity of roles. He has released 3 solo albums and was in NSYNC the boyband that far exeeds One direction the wanted or

I don't listen to Beyonce a lot... But I should! She's amazingly talented. And with that, she's also a great rolmodel and person. I LOVE HER! SHE IS TRULY PHENOMENAL! SHE DESERVES WHAT SHE'S GOT.

Well because of all her songs she is so wonderful it is like she is singing right beside me!

I'm sorry but why is Taylor Swift above her?

7 Celine Dion Céline Marie Claudette Dion is a Canadian singer and businesswoman. She is best known for her song "My Heart Will Go On", which is the main theme of the 1997 film Titanic, which was the first film to gross $1 billion at the box office.

Celine is the Empress of Pop.
We must not know who Celine is. She isn't Madonna or Mariah Carey. She has never used sex appeal to conjur up sales or anything, she uses her talent, and she doesen't sing with mixers. She actually sings with a Mic, on her own, and sometimes even a capella.

I love Celine Dion. She has been in the business for over 25 years and her voice has hardly deteriorated. She has over a 4 octave range and can reach notes higher than A5 in chest. She is the biggest selling female recording artist of all time with over 200 million albums sold, her tours are record breaking and her Taking Chances world tour has sold out practically all over the world! That's more than you can say for pretty much every other artist. The general public believes in Celine's talent, obviously. I hope to see her someday. She is a living legend and I am only 16. Celine actually has a huge younger fan base that is going unnoticed. Haha

She has the most gorgeous voice out of any singer: that includes Tay S., Katy P., and Lady G.

Her songs are immortal...

8 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

She's not just a great singer but a great role model. She doesn't drink or smoke or have any tattoos unlike one direction. Most of her songs get out a great massage and I hope most people see that she souls be in the top ten. I live her

I love Taylor Swift. But she is not my favorite singer. Surprisingly she used to be a long time ago. I like her better when she was country. But to me I think she is more popular with her 1989 cd out. To me I think she is more popular now when she's pop now.

She is very inspiring and a good example for kids. jealous people are just saying rude things because they are dumb and don't know what they are saying.

9 Madonna Madonna Louise Ciccone, known professionally as Madonna, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She influenced a lot of singers such as: Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears. She is known as Queen of Pop and at modern pop culture specifically ...read more.

Legendary means something great during a carreer. Elvis has gotten the entertainer of the decade. Cher had more abilities than like Justin Burger.

She was at the top for the longest time. But others here are also great.

She is my idol! I love her she is the best singer in the World!

When will this lady stop singing, for gods sake.

He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave ...read more.

Um.

Where is Freddie Mercury on this God-forsaken list?

Seriously, this list has the worst of the music industry, despite the first few artists with talent. But for God's sake, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez?

Future generations are screwed.

Our generation isn't screwed. Okay, not screwed as long as we eliminate jb and Miley Cyrus, but then it's fine. If the old generation is so much better, meow bout they do something instead of just sitting around and complaining! God, old people...

How the hell is he below Taylor Swift?! Freddie Mercury is the best and we all know it!

This list is a shame. Freddie Mercury eats all the others for breakfast.

The Contenders
11 Paul McCartney Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame with the rock band the Beatles, one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of pop and rock music.One of the most successful composers and performers of all time, he is known for his melodic approach to bass-playing, his versatile and wide tenor vocal range and his musical eclecticism, exploring styles ranging from pre-rock 'n' roll pop to classical and electronica. His songwriting partnership with John Lennon remains the most successful in history

The biggest-selling and most successful musician of all time.
Pretty funny in his few acting gigs, especially "A Hard Days Night".

I like all his songs. ! The Beatles made McCartney great

I love Paul McCartney so much! He should be number 1!

12 Elvis Presley Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy. ...read more.

Who the hell, has put this list together? Elvis is the king. Pick any chart and he has topped them all. You pick any other artist and none come close to the achievements of Presley. The only artist in history to be inducted into 4 different halls of fame and well over a BILLION record sales worldwide. That puts him as the greatest record selling artist of all time. God made elvis that's it!

Is this a serious list? Jackie Evancho, Taylor Swift, Beyonce etc... above Elvis Presley? Elvis has made 33 movies and put more than 1000 songs ( many were gold records ) during his short career. And yet we have to believe that Evancho, Swift and all others are greater singers/actors than Elvis? Ridiculous!

Elvis was not only immensely talented as a singer and a charismatic performer. He also felt music like few others have. And in the process he helped his listening audience feel the music as well. Elvis also had a natural love for people that added to his appeal. He's still a king!

This is ridiculous! He's the greatest icon of all time and since we're talking about actors as well, he made 33 movies. Who else in this list can say the same?

13 Mariah Carey Mariah Carey, born March 27, 1970, is an American singer, songwriter and actress.

Mariah Carey is such a good singer. Just like a angel. I look up to her so much.

Please combine Carey and Grande

14 Frank Sinatra Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Since nobody listens to Sinatra on middle school playgrounds, and is not approved as "cool" by the "cool kids", he does not receive votes at TTT.

He should not be on this list. I know he is but he should deserve last place for everything to anyway.

Unlike most on this list, Frank Sinatra was actually a SINGER and an ACTOR

The 11-year olds who are the majority here at TTT have no idea who he is, and also cannot read the title of this poll, since most of the names here may be singers [good or bad], but they are not actors at all.

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.

Justin Bieber is a wannabe usher. He has no special talent and can't sing, even if his life depended on it. He's just a stupid singer for 10 year old girls that think he's cute, oh and by the way this is a 13 year old girl righting this.

Justin is so cool! But I also like Ariana Grande! I've liked them since the beginning! Justin's songs are so catchy and he is so amazing! :) (If you dislike this, get a life, he isn't that bad and KEEP YOUR NEGATIVITY TO YOURSELVES! )
