The Contenders
11 Luciano Pavarotti Luciano Pavarotti, Cavaliere di Gran Croce was an Italian operatic tenor who also crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most commercially successful tenors of all time.

He is absolutely the greatest ever. Ranking Freddie Mercury, or anybody else, above Il Maestro is a cruel joke on the world of music.

This voting is so wrong. Luciano Pavarotti remains the most admirable singer of all time.

Glorious voice. Leaves all the pop/rock jocks way behind the starting line.

Can't get enough of his voice and vocal skills - a true master. A very powerful, beautiful and versatile voice, great range. He can sing very soft and very heavy songs. He also goes for really difficult stuff, such as symphonic metal.
