Best Pop Singers of the 21st Century
The Top Ten

Dimash is totally mind blowing singer: great voice of 5 octaves range, the timbre of rare beauty and perfect skills. He is a great performer - captivating and charismatic - and a cool dancer. His extraordinary stage presence always makes audience mesmerized. - AliceAlmaz
Dimash has a magnificent, cosmic and grandiose voice.
He is amazing
Dimash singing "I swallow your love" has to signify the pretty-mouth falsetto style he is known for.

Love Avril. She's always in perfect pitch when singing live... She might be shy but that doesn't stop her from putting her REAL self out there - iholland95
What? That much less for someone like her? You gotta listen to her song. Her voice is so hard to achieve. Such talented person deserves at top 5. How can Ke$ha be before her? Autotunes can never reach her amazing voice! Avril Lavigne is extremely talented!
The Queen of the Universe!
She is the best pop singer I have heard!

He's not even pop. He makes rap and hip hop music. He should be removed from the list. As much as I like his music, he doesn't deserve to be associated with pop music. Pop is damn awful. - LemonComputer
He's a rapper and he got in the top 20. Now that's telling you something
Weel he one of the best rapper. though he could be in top ten
Best rapper of all time

She's so completely beautiful, has a wonderful voice, and has songs that are different and GREAT! The best part is, she has meaningful songs like Masterpiece and Price Tag. Should be #1. I mean, guys, come on. She's awesome. LOVE YA JESS!
A technically brilliant singer who spends a significant amount of time on breathing, technique etc to make sure she is one of the best.
A totally awesome singer should be at the top and more than 5% because she's awesome
Born to be Jessie ya obviously gonna do big things sooner or later..

I can listen to her voice FOREVER! I just have to say that she is the best vocalist that tends to be a little underrated... She deserves to be much more well known by the world! I hope one day everyone will listen to Christina, because just hearing her will make you fall in love!
Taylor Swift higher than Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera? Are you kidding me? Christina has an amazing vocal range superior to Taylor, and better songs too. Katy Perry puts much more creativity to music than Taylor Swift's boring uncreative rude music.
Legendary and amazing singer.
All the best singer in history

Adele is more than an icon, she is the embodiment of everything we should be teaching our kids. She is humble, friendly, but isn't afraid to speak her mind when it is the right time, not to even mention her stunningly amazing voice, which by the way is not auto tuned in any way, which is why her live shows are a gift from god.
Adele is the a very unique singer. She has an amazing voice. She is my favorite pop singer. The thing I like about her is that she is humble she not like this taler swift or Ariana grande. Thank you Adele for being a outstanding singer and person!
She's great. She's a shot in the arm for the industry. She writes her own music that's not at all contrived. And she's managed to sell loads of records which makes her a great example to the younger artists. Her voice is serene. It can lighten you up anytime. Love you adele.
She is so amazing I loved her.

She's great her vocals are amazing even during her live performances. She should be above Adele. Eminem is a rapper! Why is he above all the pop stars... I mean it's true that the rap God is the best rapper but placing him above Rihanna and others is unfair.
She's sings better then beyonce and nikki
She has a beautiful voice for pop
Just one WORD # BEST

Demi is honestly one of the most underrated singers and vocalists of this generation. Many people brush her off as being "just another pop artist" but her vocals are truly out of this world and amazing. Her voice carries so much emotion and strength and not only is she incredibly talented, she's extremely inspiring and a great role model for teenagers to look up to, as she speaks out against bullying and is an advocate for mental health and sobriety, as well as using her voice to spread awareness about social issues happening around the world. Definitely deserves to be higher up on the list.
She has an amazing voice! She should be on top!
Demi Lovato's vocal long is amazing. She can sing up to an A5 in chest voice and her ability to emote is uncanny. Her songs are deep and showcase a complex message. Above all, Demi is a perfect role model of inner beauty, having been through depression and self-harm, she comes out ready to help others and save lives.
She has the most amazing voice

Taylor Swift is like THE best singer ever. Not only does she sing pop, she also sings country. Her voice is suitable for both genres. She is an amazing singer. Keep it up Taylor! You're so sweet and kind.
Taylor is not like the best singer ever, she IS the best singer ever( at least of our century). She's no doubt the queen of Pop music. And not only that. She's ruled in the field of country music too. With her voice, she is capable of singing almost all types of songs. I mean, take her dreamy country song Love Story and then take Safe and Sound and then come to Shake it Off and finally to Look What You Made Me Do. And she's sung all of them perfectly. And the last two have also ruled the Billboard Hot 100. She certainly deserves to be at the top of this list. Come on guys, vote for Taylor Swift!
One Day This Female Artist Could Be The Best Female Recording Artist IN History
Taylor Swift is the best. Her songs make me feel out of the world. I get motivational just because of her. She has inspired me a lot and I love her

Pop Queen. Icon. Advocate. Legend. She is one the best singers of her age, by covering large variety of genres that can captivate any listener regardless of gender, age, race, sexual orientation or race. Her talent and abilities can rival those of her generation and sell out as much as any hit artist in the spotlight. She revolutionized pop music, brought art and life into a industry that was much needed, and with her own unique personality and persona can defeat any other with entertainment. She also is a grand advocate of love, equality which she dedicates her music to get people to get out of their shell and interact with other genres. One of many in the industry, stands out of everybody in the Music Industry!
She is the best when it comes to pop she can bring it and when she brings it she tops the list with her hits she tops all females
The Mother Monster is a new artist and with just three albums she managed to establish herself as one of the best singers, performers and rockstars of all time because she's excellent in so many types of songs!
She is the queen of pop she is a very beautiful person and her voice she is the most amazing singers we seen ever since she came to the halftime show for football I will vote for her

Even though she doesn't own a Grammy, it doesn't make her less than anybody.. She's well known all around the world. Her music inspires people, and she has also broken numerous records, for example. She tied Michael Jackson's for most #1 singles in one album, "Teenage Dream".
Katy Perry Is The Best Out There In Pop! She Is Aiming For Her 6th Hit Of An Album! 2010,2011 And 2012 Will Be Her Best Year.
Her songs are amazing but where has she gone now?... She should make more music... And shes really pretty
Because she is great...performer for me ever...i love you katy..

Her videos are the best as well as her songs

I saw the list and expected Bruno Mars to be on the top but then, I saw him here, at number 8. Besides being shocking, this is complete trash. Bruno Mars deserves a top 5 position for sure, if no the first.
Bruno Mars draws from all the greats and blend them with his unique talents to touch young and old alike. Incredible artist, showman and spirit!
Bruno Mars Has Also Risen To Fame! He Will Be Soon Out There!
I don't care what the rankings are!..he's just the best singer and performer of this generation..

What the hell is Enrique doing on position 14
People he should be 1. Have you all heard his new song heart attack. It rocks. He has started to sing better now a days but he used to sing good before also. Please vote
This list is wrong. Enrique must be on the top of the list. His voice is amazing. Enrique should be after Michael jackson. That idiot Justin Bieber should in the bottom of the list.
He really sings by heart. He knows what music is. He is the best. In short he is just brilliant and awesome.
I think He is a truly talented singer I listen to him Daily He has a great Voice
and look sexy as hell he definitely has my vote

Miley Cyrus is a pop, rock, country and hip hop singer. she gives her all when she sings. she sings through her expierences which allows the fans to feel what she has gone through in life whether is loosing her grandfather, moving away from her family or relationship situations. she is an honorable women that I am proud to say that she has influenced many things in my life. She deserves to earn tons of votes!
One of the best female vocalist.Her live is so much better than studio version.
I love you Miley ps I came in like a wrecking ball
Very talented,Got amazing voice,can control her vocal.Honestly I'm impressed by her live performance.She is good.

The best singer of our lifetime. Full stop.
She's the best singer ever in this century. With her music that is relatable and so unique, that nobody else can replace her. She will live on for centuries to come, and inspire so many people.
Distinctive vocals, immense presence, lyric genius, and amazing musicianship. The lady is the full package; can't get enough of her.
Amy Winehouse is such a unique jazz singer with her own brilliant voice and image. Whether you liked her music or not one things for sure she was one of the most talked about celebrities. It's an absolute tragedy that she died and how she died so young. If only she could fight her addictions but it wasn't ment to be there was to much going on and she just couldn't cope. R.I.P amy...

Deserve to be FIRST.
Beautiful voice
Does much more really need to be said? Decent beats (although not made by him) decent lyrics regardless weather or not they were all basicly around the same premise. The top ten in this list at the moment are pathetics
Pure epicness... Lots of awesome songs, especially Mirrors (lyrically) Suit and Tie (catchiness) and My Love (beat). Great!

Kelly has an amazing voice/vocal range, and she has many songs played on the radio... Like Stronger, Catch My Breath, People Like Us, Sine you Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Miss Independent, and Breakaway.
Look, unlike a lot of singers today, this lady doesn't even need auto tune. I watched a video of one of her live performances, and it blew me away. She's extremely talented and needs to be way farther up
I love Kelly clarkson! I've only just found out about her this year and now I'm doing a music research project on her
Kelly Clarkson is awesome!

While most pop artists sing about break ups with their boyfriend, she (in Buzzcut Season) was talking about the false idealisms about war that society puts on us. She talks about the deep stuff in her songs. Even when she does talk about relationship stuff, it's not the repetitive "I love you" or "I hate you". She talks about the deepness and the personal stuff that come with relationships. She deserves to be #1.
Her songs are relatable even though her songs are hard to understand. She has a great voice and encourages feminism as well as encouraging people to be real.
This girl is the savior of pop music. Her superb voice, great lyrics, and overall sound is a lot better then most of the stuff on the radio these days.
She has an amazing lyrical fame, her voice is amazing, Liability was so great

From a small town kid to this. look at him. your hate means NOTHING. he has 53 million fans, always supporting him, he is on top of the world. such a talented kid with great personality. do not say he is the next Michael jackson because there is only one Michael and ONLY ONE Justin Bieber.
He is totes awesome the best singer ever I mean how can you not vote for Justin he is literally at the top people and it don't matter what you say because he has more fans than you could in a million year
Justin is awesome I mean he's stupid sometimes but it's part of life and whoever write ugly is definitely lacking a brain or eyes
Only idiots like him. Ha ha ha.

What the hell is she doing at 10th position? This is absurd. She should be in the top 5 if not number 1! She has come a long way from her success, to the scandals she's had to face and now she's come back better and stronger than ever! No one falls from grace and gets back up the way Britney did. She's the greatest pop singer of our generation whether people agree or not. Britney came onto the scene in her early teen years and to change the pop scene with that kind of effect at that age is something that is hardly achieved with many upcoming singers of today! No one can ever replace this woman. Truly the most unique even though she may not have the best voice but that didn't stop her from producing smash hits and number one albums. She will always break records and sell more records than any other female singer.
Britney Spears is a inspiration. All of her work is extraordinary. With many top hits, she is truly a legend. I am very disappointed in the lie about her and that people actually believe them. She started when she was 17 and before that was in the Mickey Mouse Club for 2 years. She was also on rising star. She chose the idea of her first song, ".. Hit Me Baby One More Time" and the outfit. No one expected it to be such a big hit, but it was. She is truly great, and a inspiration.
Britney Spears not only is the best selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st century, but has had a tremendous impact on the music industry. 14 years into her career and she's still breaking records and setting trends. She truly is this generation's Queen of Pop.
The original princess of pop, from iconic outfits to iconic music videos and songs britney spears is the definition of pop.

Sia is the most unique and passionate singer of the 21st century. Her songs deal with her own personal struggles.
Best song writer, and pop singer of all times
I love your song dance again and on the floor
Those are by jlo

Madonna is the best in pop music. Better than any man or woman competing with her. Her concert tours are the best selling female concert tours in history. She deserves to be #1. This list is just crazy, obviously only musically uneducated little kids are voting cause Rihanna and Lady GaGa are on the Top 10. No one is better than the Queen of Pop.
Madonna The Queen Of Pop! I'm Speechless With Her!

She's amazing and has the voice of a goddess. Her live performances are just as good if not better than the studio versions and her albums are distinctive and unique!
40? 40!?
Florence Welch is the best singer in the 21st century no doubt, she has the voice of an angel, powerful, soulful, meaningful... The fact that she's not even in the Top 10 is ridiculous

Greatest male vocalist of his generation! Dynamic and interesting voice, not the same cookie-cutter pop candy.

She set up the stepping stones for Latino women
She was epic at the golden globes



He is the best singer on Earth! Love Troye Sivan!
I love his music!

She should be at least in the top 10’s. She is like a newer pop teen of Michael Jackson. If you don't like her at all, you should listen to her songs : 17, Here, and for moana fans the “ How far I'll go” Alessia Cara remix
