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.

She is one of the greatest singer that can sings live better than the recorded studio version, no auto tune and singing while sitting! Its hard to project the voice but she made it effortless!

She is the best singer I have ever heard. She is the best and she is the unique and for these reason many people and contestants are trying to copy her.

Chithra has tried so hard to achieve the place she is in right now... Her singing carrier. She has had some tough times but always stuck to her gut.

2 Andy Biersack Andrew Dennis "Andy" Biersack, formerly known as Andy Six, is an American singer and pianist. He is the founder and lead vocalist for the American rock band Black Veil Brides, and is its only remaining original member.

The message he puts across in black veil brides songs and the message he gives to fans is just perfect, he's always stood up for what he believes in, even if that means standing alone

I love everything about Andy. From his looks to his personality to the very voice he uses to speak with to be honest. He's just such a big inspiration, and an amazing person.

He is just such an inspirational human being a positive person even when he has a broken bone or anything he always tells people to be happy and positive.

I have found that this guy is amazing. From Andy Black to Black Veil Brides he has helped me through so much. I love him.

An inspiring example of how one can follow one's dream without forgetting one's roots or leaving a trail of rubble behind.

The first song I listened to by her (To Believe) I realized how good she is! I recommend listening to her songs!

The goodness and optimism she exudes inspire me to be a better person.

Something special about her voice makes me more hopeful each time I listen.
Very unusual.

Ashley does sing, he sung fallen angels at a concert

He is inspiring and cute

5 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. ...read more.

DEMI SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE! She's gone through a lot through her childhood, since her father abused her. But she got back up. She says it always turns out better. To reach your dreams. And one of my all time favorite quotes by her- 'Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect' She is my role model, and a strong woman.

She's helped me stop cutting and open up about that and my eating disorder. She's such an inspiration to me, because she shows me that its okay to not be perfect all the time, and its okay to get help

Demi should be number 1 without a doubt the fact that she shared her extremely personal story just so she could help others is really selfless and thoughtful so I do not know why she is not number 1!

She is one of the greatest singer that can sings live better than the recorded studio version, no auto tune and singing while sitting! Its hard to project the voice but she made it effortless!

6 Vic Fuentes Victor Vincent "Vic" Fuentes is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Pierce the Veil.

Speaking from someone who has seen the effects of depression and self harm on people close to me, the fact Vic openly talks about over-coming self harm and the messages he puts across with Pierce the Veil is great. Never give up. He is an inspiration, no doubt about it.

7 Eminem Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil. Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide.

I was never a big fan of rap. However when I had a depression, I was listening to the radio and one of his songs came on, 'Till I Collapse'. I started listening to his songs and I grew stronger. My depression stopped because of him. If it hadn't been for him who knows how my life would have turned out! He saved my life.

I'm just thinking what has put Lady Gaga in the top 10. Eminem's songs are far more motivational than Lady Gaga's. Eminem should be on the top. Every time I listen to him, I grow stronger, my body and my mind feel energized. He speaks the truth. We can relate it to our lives.

He has been through so much and he speaks the truth through his music inspiring other people that have been through tough times. He is a very cool person and not the "typical celebrity". He is still down - to - earth and humble, he never forgets Detroit and his roots.

Eminem is the only person who could give me a hell lot of goosebumps at a single moment. He was best,remains best and will be the best ever.

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 is so auto tuned. Have u heard her sing live? Her recorded songs sound so high pitched but when she sings live her voices sounds way deeper and much more different which proved that she edits her voice. That proves that she's not talented. Her songs wouldn't be annoying if she didn't high pitch and auto tune them so much. She used to be my idol but now I only like singers with real talent and who DON'T sue their fans for making fan art or for making covers of their songs. The fact that her voice live sounds way different from her recorded songs already proves that she edits her voice because she's untalented and a liar. If she didn't use auto tune and u could hear her real voice then she would only be famous for her looks like she already is. During her concerts, she ALWAYS uses a backtrack to drown out her terrible and deep voice and has lip synced so many times before. I feel bad for the people that r still fans of her and think that's she's actually talented.

Yeah that's right lady gaga should be at the top of this list. Although I am a lady gaga fan. That doesn't mean I can't be a supporter of Katy Perry and Ke$ha. Ke$ha was a born singer and musician. Katy was a born public idol. Lady Gaga was not a born singer. She was a born songwriter and performer, but she is also talented in the ways of Singing. She is a born LEADER. She took her past experiences with bullying and turned into her inspiration. To help people through there troubles. You judge somebody you have to look past there makeup and wigs and outfits. You look at there personality. Gaga has shown us that forget what other people say this your life don't let other people live for you. You were born this way. People can take away everything, but they can't take away your freedom. Believe in God. Gaga does. It is in her song that she wrote born this way. God doesn't make mistakes!

Lady is so so inspirational she makes people feel like they belong in this world is able to make everyone to what she to and things she puts in to her are so amazing like examples: 'baby your born this way', I'm on the edge of glory, marry the night

She's the most inspirational artist

13 Ronnie Radke Ronald Joseph Radke is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, musician, and record producer born in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the current singer of the band Falling In Reverse and is the former singer of Escape The Fate.

Ronnie is an awesome person. He has been through a ton of stuff. His mother abandoned him, he was an addict, and he was accused of something he didn't do. And yet, he got over his addiction, met his mother, was released, and even has a daughter he is working hard to take care of. Ronnie is easily an amazing person, and I love his music, which all tell stories that need to be told.

He can rap quite fast!

Katy Perry has achieved so much in her career that she is just about to equal the King of Pop in terms of sales and record-breaking. She never gave up on her career and kept singing in spite of whatever haters may say about her, and that is just very inspiring. She's even making her own record label, where she can pass her own legacy to aspiring artists that have the very same dream that she had. Kathryn is also inspirational because she promotes happiness and just wants her audience to have fun, be happy and to believe in yourself, and I know she isn't the only artist to promote this but she is the most consistent at this. She teaches us that hard work may take so long but in the end you will reach your dreams. Go Katy, strong woman!

She is the best singer ever, I really thought that she was JUST a signer, but after I REALLY listened to her music and saw her movie, I understand now that she is not just a singer, she is a hero. She went through so much. I really REALLY love her music and she should be right under Taylor Swift! VOTE

I love katy perry too I think she is inspirational because like she loved russel brand (obviously) but she didn't just leave him or publicity she left him because she didn't want him in her lie any more so she is a true singer celeb everything in the world that she can be

Thanks

She's just a great person. Her songs are amazing, and they can give you a little strength whenever you need it. Some artists like ke$ha (no hate) just sing about getting drunk and that kind of stuff, but she actually has meaning in her songs. KATY PERRY IS PERFECT OKAY.

He loves his fans and and taught me to love myself and tells his fans everyday that he appreciates us and that we r beautiful. He makes me happy and makes me laugh everyday. I don't know what I would do without him

What is Niall doing here?

Last time I checked, he is part of a band. If you want to add him, put One Direction, not just Niall Horan. This is ridiculous.
