The Top Ten
1 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.

Listening to just the first 15 seconds of Jackie's version of "coming home" will exemplify her perfect, incomparable, out of this world voice

Jackie Evancho has made 'River' by Joni Mitchell a mastery of beauty of voice and emotion. Jackie once again proves she is the real deal.

Jackie simply has the most beautiful singing voice in the world.

Jackie Evancho is what perfection sounds like.

3 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 hit singles like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, Easy On Me and the success of her second, third and fourth studio album which is 21, 25 and 30.

Much more talented than Jackie Evancho AND she writes her own songs PLUS she doesn't sing cover version. Adele is the REAL DEAL, not an imitator.

God, she can sing. I don't always like the melody of her songs, but...

Adele has 10 times more talent than Demi in my opinion

Am I the only one who doesn't like her?

4 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.

Someone clearly has bad taste in music if this is number 1. I thought something like Jackie Evancho would be number 1.

Please, she has talent and can sing really well live, how the hell are you all calling her a bad musician.

Heroin addiction has robbed her of her voice.

You've got to be kidding. How is Demi Lovato #1?

5 Chevelle Chevelle is an American alternative metal band that formed in 1995 in the Chicago suburb of Grayslake, Illinois. The band was originally composed of brothers: Pete Loeffler, Sam Loeffler and Joe Loeffler.

OP should remove all of the "group" names, this list should be individuals only.

Chevelle is really a amazing band, AWESOME vocals, great riffs...
"Take out the gunman" is one of the best songs

6 Sia Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, referred to mononymously as Sia, is an Australian singer and songwriter. She released her debut album in 1997 but mainly gained mainstrem attention in the 2010s. In 2021, she released the highly controversial film "Music". The film has received negative reviews online.

She is a simple and cheerful singer who exists for her passion.
She doesn't show her face because she doesn't want fame or to be recognized, she wants to share her songs with the world as well as her passion for music.

She is pure talent, fashion, passion and nothing else.

She should deserve 1st. Did you ever hear Adele live? I'm telling ya it's horrible. Or at least not as good as it sounds on CDs or whatever.
