Top 10 Countries With the Best Singers and Bands

Obviously, Filipinos are known for bananas, mango, food delicacies, and Islands. However, Filipinos are also good at singing that you can found it everywhere. Filipinos barely use auto tunes. You can try it and you can ask someone for them to sing something to you and it's really great. I swear. But because of their economics or whatever it called, their talents for singing is not well-known around the world. Also some of them are too shy or they do not know what a great talent they had. They keep looking down to them selves but not all of them. They were still Filipinos who showing their great talents not only in their country but also to the world. I really have many things to say about their singing but I hope it helps.

As a filipino, I really appreciate these comments. Ever since I was a child, I really love music and such. Around 4th grade I participated to join a choir contest... Well one day we managed to win the division level, and moved on to the regionals. I was also chosen as the descant singer for the choir. But at the day of the contest we didn't win. But that doesn't mean I lost my talent, I still have it with me, but I'm just too shy to let it out since I'm afraid of being judged... But I hope this will inspire my other fellow Filipinos out there.

Filipinos admire Americans because Hollywood is the most popular singing industry in the world and that's a fact. Americans are indeed great singers but why do they have to be racist(not all of them though) but sometimes life plays tricks to everyone, sometimes we're up sometimes we're not.

I admire those Americans and other nationalities who voted for the Philippines. Every country has its best and worst singers though. Filipinos are lucky because they grow up listening to music and learn from it. Americans are also lucky because they've got the most popular singers. Spread love

As a contestant from another country and joined international competitions Filipino singers (and other talents) are exceptional. In World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA), an international Olympic style event, the Philippines always dominate and soar, bringing most of the gold medals. And they also bringing high honors in choir singing. To be honest, I am sad that they are underrated and ignored. They are music itself rather THEY are ART itself.

I find the comments down below very offensive... not to mention they probrably came from snobby teenage jerks! I'm Filipino and to be honest, most of the times I even think American vocalists are better than some of our singers... the Philippines is the place of culture and fun for the truth! When I searched up, "what is the most top country at singing," I was utterly suprized that Philippines was at the top! I thought USA was going to be at the top and Philippines no where NEAR the top 10! WE are the country of fun and outgoing people, who have real faith... thanks a lot for being racist!.-.

I love the music in this country there are a lot of varieties that you can hear the Melody, the tune the voices just amazing! - Lovelots from Ph

Well the USA beats everyone when it come to female singers - I mean theres Beyonce, lady gaga, christina aguilera, Britney spears and janet jackson.

America has...
Michael Jackson
Katy Perry
Beyonce
Pink
Owl City
Pitbull
Eminem
Usher
Chris Brown
(etc)
Nothing can beat america.

QUEEN! That's all that needs to be said... The greatest band on the planet... EVER! Most talented, most awesome, most eclectic, and absolutely the most phenomenal band ever to grace the Earth! Ever! QUEEN will always be the very BEST! They sound totally new, fresh, relevant, and oh so Timeless! Never old / stale / dated or boring like a lot of others. Every song is so different from any other. No 2 sound even similar. They're so completely diverse, from the intensity of Stone Cold Crazy and Dead On Time to the loveliness of Love Of My Life and Save Me, there is something for everyone. QUEEN is truly jaw-dropping AWESOME, w/ 4 of the most talented musical geniuses ever, symbiotically weaving their brilliance in a treasure trove of sheer ecstasy!
QUEEN!

The UK has by far much better modern singers than any of the other countries on this list.
Italy has by far the best classical singers in the world.

Let's be honest, most people from the USA are controversial Pop artits (intentional pun) who can't sing more than a few lines, or who can't write a song of more than a few lines.

Of course, you can't miss out on the greater bands or artists like Michael Jackson, but they only make up 5% of the American artists; compare that to the large majority of hard-working and well-singing English artists.

Has the best music in my opinion, not gonna name any artists or bands although I feel that music from the UK often has great story and meaning to the lyrics and they are songs you can easily fall in love with and connect with (well that's just my opinion on their music)

Canada should be after the United States. Canadian singers Rock! There are so many:
Shaina twain
Avril lavigne
Victoria Duffield
Alyssa Reid

Justin Bieber is from Canada and his songs drive people crazy

Three Days Grace!

The Weekned, Alisa Reid, Drake, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendas...

We have Avicci, Robin,Abba and we have won the eurovision song contest 6 times and were the most beautiful people walking this earth...

We have best songs, and singers! We won ESC 6 times

Sweden had Jenny Lind. And Abba

Come on guys!
Children of Bodom, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Jerusalem, Arch Enemy, Europe, Meshuggah, Blindside, Opeth...

Well AC/DC over 90 million albums sold. The Bee Gees over 80 million albums sold, Olivia Newton John 30 million albums sold. These 3 artists started there recording career in Australia. But other Australian music exports INXS, The Little River Band, Kylie Minogue, Men At Work have all sold over 20 million albums world wide... Some more Silverchair over 10 million albums sold, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes ( solo ) & Cold Chisel "combined "and country singer Slim Dusty over 6 million album that all good for a country of 24 million people

Name 1 German singer and you can't really say any Swedish other than Zara Larson

Ah yes! Australia has really good singers there too!

I love sia!

Australia should be at the top 4

I am surprised this is not first. After all most classical composers came from Germany. Besides they have a nice, strong voice filled with accent

Voice kids Germany. That's all

They are strong singers

It is the first place

Finland has to be in the TOP 10! - Apocalyptica, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Negative, Children Of Bodom, Hanoi Rocks, Nightwish...

The angriest songs and they rock

Carmen opera from the French composer Bizet, is the most played in the world.
From Bizet to Daft punk passing by Edith Piaf and the French RAP (2nd in the world behind USA), France should be higher.

I love France because it is very elegant especially they're lyrics

France Have the best singers!

I only heard from ratatouille

I don't understand why New Zealand is so far down when it rightfully should be up there at the top. Most people in NZ can sing and that's no exaggeration. The Maori culture has a big music influence. There's not a soul in NZ who doesn't know at least 2 people in their own family that can sing

New Zealand has so many great country singers and songwriters, like Lorde and Brooke Fraser. Most people in NZ write their own songs, or sing great songs in new ways

NZ singers are amazing! Such soulful tunes, I'm glad it's at 8th, but we need it higher!

Get NZ up the list! So many great singers!

Indian Classical music is the best in the world. Even some from the West comes to learn Indian music. No other country has music which is as soothing as Carnatic and Hindustani music. As a learner of Carnatic music and as a one who has listened Western music too, I proudly say that our music is far ahead. But, it often goes underrated. Many Indians are blindly following the West. Even many Indian songs now are composed in Western scales which is not good. Our music is our identity. Punjabi music, Hindustani music and Carnatic music must be the top three.

India is top 10 on here just for its singers but India does not excel in terms of bands. Bands are not a thing there only singers are worshipped and revered. Bands are not popular, people make their mark by singing in Bollywood songs and doing solos on YouTube etc, that is popular there not bands.

India is the country where music born. There is nothing like Indian classical Music.Anyone who listen Indian music will fall in love.

Singing is a passion of most of the Indians. Romantic, pain, grief, represents the melodious music. I think India should be on #1.

This is so biased. Who the hell did this research! I disagree with South Korea being 20th. There are so many more strong singers in South Korea than even America OR UK, but as most of South Koreans don't sing in English and the fact that South Korean music isn't marketed globally, you can't really benchmark Korean music. What the West is exposed to is a tip of the iceberg. Even some of the world's best musicians are South Korea. South Koreans are extremely tenacious and don't settle for mediocre as a nation. There is so much competition and don't keep up with producing music regularly you just don't make it in South Korea. Hence most of Korean artists study music and singing and are way better than Americans who don't know technique. Phillipianions I do believe probablly have natural talent but here again, its because they sing English songs. I have watched singing competitions and how many are really good in America and UK. You can really count on your fingers Watch South Korean ...more

Some amazing singers are from Korea, search up Ailee, Hyorin and Eunji. There are so many that no one knows about. Even though some people say that they are all girl or guy groups, there are still amazing and talented singers. Of course, some get into the group with only looks but look at Winner or Big Bang. In both groups, they actually compose and write their own songs.

What the hell?! Only 17th place!?!?!?!? I completely disagree with this. Have you heard South Korean singers? They have such beautiful vocals.

When talking about voices, I believe Koreans have the best singing voices and it's as if 80% Koreans can sing. It's crazy. I personally don't like Korean music like how every else in the world does, but they sure as hell can sing! Phillipinos shouldn't be on top of the list. Sure some of them can sing but their music sucks. And not all of em can sing.

Lebanese singers have great talent and vice they can also speak fluently in three languages, best singers are like Elisa, Nancy Ajram, and Maryam faris.

Mika is the best

We have the best dj's who are known world wide and a lot of the shows the have in other countries begun in the netherlands example: voice of...

Just watch the voice of holland and you'll understand!

Just here a whole Dominique Van Hulst (Do), she is really good.

Best DJ's For the last decade

Ireland singers has different voice compared to how they sing if you get what I'm saying

U2, Enya, The Dubliners, The Pogues, Ronan Keating and so on.

Ireland has in my opinion the best artists.

So many good singers here

Where's Thin Lizzy & Black 47?

Are you kidding Pakistani singers are actually the best, I don't like being bias because I haven't checked out some of the countries that are top on here but in this case Its Pakistan that's underrated. NFAK would have performances where English people would go to see even! And we need more of that today because Pakistani classic music is the best. And they are just killing it in every genre of music if I'm honest but sometimes there's such low exposure well, because its Pakistan. And that's sad.

This is true. Bands were popular during the 90s and around that period Pakistan pop scene was flourishing. At present I think looking at everything Pakistan has to offer they have definitely made their mark and done justice to music that Pakistan always excelled in. Bands are very much alive in Pakistan. I wish the world could give Pakistan a chance of listening to their music too

No Pakistani singer is the same, each has own singing abilities but every one of them are bloody great at what they do. Pakistani music in general is one of the best in the world when you look past language difference, its amazing.

Yasss Pakistani singers are forever talented. Western countries are missing out on so much I don't feel sorry one bit for them that they think Pakistanis are all bad and Pakistan is just a desert or something (geography lessons didn't come handy eh..).

Just think of great bands like L'arc en Ciel or X Japan��"that's just the cherry on the top! There are lots of great artists in Japan and they can perform without autotune (mostly anyways lol). And not all good Japanese music is in animes, in fact anisongs can't be compared to the real thing. Anyways, better than most from the USA. I'm neither American nor Japanese.

Songs in the Anime are great! I listen to them everyday! Haha

Cory In The House is my favourite anime.

Some music give me motivation

Shakira people! Also Juanes and every singer of urban music is somehow related to them, I believe they need bigger appreciation

Colombia has Shakira the maximum Latin American female artist, and Juanes the top male artist with most Latin Grammys. Also rising stars are J Balvin, Maluma, & Karol G.

The best should be in first

Best Latin style
