The Top Ten

Tom Hanks

Thomas Jeffrey "Tom" Hanks (born July 9, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker.
He is known for his performances in Splash, Big, Turner & Hooch, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, You've Got Mail, The Green Mile, the Toy Story franchise, Cast Away, The Da Vinci Code... read more

Everywhere I go on the internet, I see his face. He has a massive fanbase, and he's definitely deserving of it.

He is such a versatile actor. Impressive.

I'd love to meet him one day. So much talent.
Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK, is an Indian film actor, producer, and television personality. Referred to in the media as the "Badshah of Bollywood," "King of Bollywood," and "King Khan," he has appeared in more than 80 Bollywood films and earned numerous accolades, including 14 Filmfare Awards.... read more

If anyone should be at the top, Shahrukh Khan is definitely my pick 100%. Not only for his acting abilities but also for his inner self. I could sit and just listen to him speak - his knowledge and wisdom are beyond any other. His heart is huge and filled with enough love to cover the world. His laughter is true and heartfelt, and his eyes can melt you with just a gaze.
Watching him dance with all the ladies or being held by him is enough to make butterflies flutter in your stomach. Shahrukh's endearing love for his wife, Gauri, and his children is total blissfulness. In my opinion, Shahrukh works much harder than any other actor - not for attention, but because he likes to keep busy. He is most definitely a great humanitarian who takes care of his people and those around him.
Shahrukh also takes great pride in everything he accomplishes and is always up for new challenges. He never thinks he is better or higher than anyone else. Shahrukh is a simple man, doing what he was put here to do: to live, love, give, and enjoy his life.
Kudos to you, Shahrukh. Yes, you are my #1 pick. Love and blessings to you. Muah!
Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter. He passed away from cardiac arrest caused by acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication, which was ruled a homicide. Jackson is widely regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures... read more

Michael Jackson was the biggest celebrity I've known all my life who has walked this planet. I know that there might be other good entertainers, but Michael Jackson was better than all of them, even better than Elvis Presley. I think that everyone on this planet should take a break from what they're doing to appreciate what this King of Pop has done for us, from young to old.
Many people don't fully appreciate him despite his immense talent, good looks, and contributions to changing our world. I believe that people, including the media and press, treated him poorly because he was getting all the attention, and they tried to tear him apart, but it wasn't going to happen.
We should all be thankful that God has brought him into our world and allowed us to imitate him. Seeing some people imitate him and become impersonators is the best way to keep his legacy going and spread his joy throughout the planet.
K.S. Chithra

Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. She also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music. Chithra has recorded over 25,000 songs in various languages and is a recipient of six National Film Awards.

She's very popular in Southern Asia, but I actually never heard her music in the States, and she's not on the charts in the Western world. Also, can someone stop adding her to unrelated lists of mine? Since when did Chithra ever do electropop? She is not even similar to Aira Mitsuki or Capsule either.
Also, I hope she doesn't have people who stalk her, because if you're famous, you will have some very weird people. Madonna, Taylor, and Chappell have had experiences with this, and also with people grabbing them while performing, so I hope she's not suffering from that because crazy fans who stalk you are terrible.

Chithra has the most beautiful voice of any singer, and her whole personality radiates and inspires joy, kindness, and goodwill in all.
Selena Gomez

Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She's best known for her hit songs "Come & Get It," "Good for You," "Same Old Love," and "It Ain't Me," as well as her starring role as Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place. While described as a mezzo-soprano with a vocal range often in the alto... read more

I don't think she sings too well without auto-tune, but she does seem very nice and caring. I think her songwriting style is very average, but she makes catchy tunes. If people don't like her because of her voice, I can understand why they would like her for her personality instead.

I absolutely love Selena. She is my role model, and I've been obsessed with her ever since I was little. I think she is incredibly talented and has been through a lot to get to where she is now.
I have loved watching her grow up and become a woman. She has learned so much over the years, and I think she is one of the most amazing people ever. I absolutely believe that she deserves to be on this list. I love her with all my heart.
Beyoncé

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who began her career as lead singer of Destiny's Child. The group scored multiple Billboard No. 1 hits including "Say My Name," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Survivor," "Independent Women," and "Bootylicious." After their split,... read more

This woman right here is the best female artist. Yeah, there are Katy and Taylor, but she can beat them anyway. This Single Ladies singer should be at the top of the charts.

Beyoncé is real, and she worked hard to be good. Her voice is powerful, and she deserves to be at the top.

Come on, everybody likes Beyoncé. A bunch of people ranked above her are controversial and unlikable. As for Miley Cyrus, her producer is lame. I don't know who he or she is, but her voice is totally messed up. You can tell that it isn't her real voice. They just change it to make it sound different.
Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.
Early in her career, she performed at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2007, as part of "Lady Gaga & The Starlight Revue," where she was noticed by Interscope Records executive Vincent... read more

1. As of March 2011, she has 31,110,369 likes on Facebook and is hailed as the most-liked celebrity on Facebook, defeating Michael Jackson with only 30,530,707 likes.
2. She is the number one Twitterholic based on followers, and she has 8,953,225 followers. Next to her is Justin Bieber with 8,328,290 followers.
3. Her song Born This Way became number one in the top 100 music hits!

I love her, from singing to American Horror Story, fashion to being a strong woman. She's a positive role model and creates a path instead of following one. I love that about her!

She is the most powerful woman in the world! Way more talented than Eminem and Carrie Underwood.
She should most definitely be placed 1st. Duh!
Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi) is an American former singer and actress. She was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. As a child, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows, such as The Mickey Mouse Club, before signing with Jive Records in... read more

I really love and admire Britney Jean Spears so much! I am a huge fan of Britney Spears, and I really appreciate her amazing songs and her wonderful singing voice. My top favorite songs from her include: From the Bottom of My Broken Heart, Sometimes, Oops! I Did It Again, Lucky, 3, Toxic, Womanizer, Email My Heart, Boys, Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know, What U See (Is What U Get), Born to Make You Happy, and I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.

Whether you like her or not - and there aren't many reasons these days not to - Britney Spears has been an extremely public figure for nearly two decades. She's known worldwide. While she doesn't sell as many number-one hits as newer artists, she is more well-known and identifiable than they are.
Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Shrader Lawrence is an American actress. She began her career in television with a starring role on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show.
She's known for her performances in the X-Men film series, The Hunger Games franchise, Silver Linings Playbook (for which she won the Academy Award... read more

Jennifer is the best celebrity ever. She's just so down-to-earth, an amazing actress, and well, she's just so lovable. Everyone can relate to her, and her personality is pure gold. I love her so much, and she is mine and many people's idol.
She was incredible in all of her movies and really brings her characters to life. She definitely deserved Best Actress, and I think she could deserve a million more. She should definitely be number one on this list!

I haven't really loved any other actress as much as I love Jen. Jennifer is the best. Her beauty, her style, her personality, and moreover, Katniss Everdeen - she nailed it. And how can we forget her love for food, especially pizza?
Seriously, she's really one heck of a woman. I just adore her friendship with Josh. She accepts herself, knows her flaws, and isn't afraid to show who she really is. I literally love this woman so much.
Barun Sobti

Barun Sobti is an Indian actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Arnav Singh Raizada in the television series Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon. His performance in the show earned him widespread acclaim and a large fan following.

Love you man, forever. You are the best.
Barun is so cute, hot, and sexy! He is such a wonderful actor! I can't even take my eyes off of him! He wins everyone's hearts!

I love you, man, forever. You are the best.
Barun is so cute, hot, and sexy! He is such a wonderful actor. I can't even take my eyes off him. He wins everyone's hearts.

Barun Sobti is the most handsome man ever!

The Newcomers

?
Jeff Stinco

I think Jeff is missing here. I think he deserves to be included. Jeff Stinco is so popular in Canada, but the way he used to be on Tiger Beat, J-14, and Popstar magazine covers in the 2000s is something special too. So, here he is: it's Jeff Stinco.

As far as I know, he was so popular all over the world. Some people may remember him from Simple Plan, but I know him more as a singer.
?
Hozier

Andrew John Hozier‑Byrne, known mononymously as Hozier, is an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter. He rose to fame in 2013 with his debut single Take Me to Church, which became a global hit.

Levine began his musical career in 1994 when he co-founded the band Kara's Flowers, where he served as lead vocalist and guitarist. After limited success with their debut... read more

May the Lord bless this hot man! Oh, God bless!
I am going crazy! Love you, Adam - most especially on The Voice! Oh, may the Lord God bless!

He is the best singer ever! Sweet like sugar!
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering... read more
Jackie Evancho

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album, The Debut, was her eighth consecutive... read more

Instead of criticizing someone you don't know, why not listen to her music and see if you can broaden your appreciation? This young lady has a voice without comparison. She sings in several languages and is very popular in Europe and Asia. It's in the US that she is underappreciated because most people are either into pop or country western.

A friend - a concert "snob" who has attended hundreds of shows in NYC and New Haven - attended Jackie's Providence concert with me. After the concert, he said that he had never before experienced such deep mutual affection between a performer and audience as he had that night. He was very moved, as was I.
Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, producer, and semi-retired professional wrestler. He gained fame in WWE during the late 1990s and early 2000s before transitioning to a successful Hollywood career, starring in films such as The Fast... read more

He's my favorite celeb, and I LOVE HIM! Jumanji. Just gonna put that out there!
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 220 million records, making him the best-selling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he was a member of D12 and (with... read more

Eminem should be the first. He has a huge fandom, and his songs are the definition of true music. No other artist can compete with the depth and meaning he portrays through his songs. Additionally, he's won an Academy Award for the best song ever, Lose Yourself. Although acting isn't his profession, he did a terrific role in 8 Mile.
Coming to his personal life, he's gone through the worst and yet rose to success because of his passion, talent, and hard work. He has contributed towards Detroit, showing his love for his city. We aren't just fans. It takes a lot to achieve such a huge fan following. He has touched our hearts and souls with his songs, given us hope, and motivated us to be the best versions of ourselves. Eminem is life.
Taylor Swift

Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter, born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. She developed a strong interest in country music around the age of nine after watching a Faith Hill documentary. Swift moved to Nashville as a teenager and, after signing with RCA Records, began... read more

Taylor Swift is the music industry. Making her first album when she was 16, she has won ten Grammys, released nine critically acclaimed albums, and is one of the youngest people to have won Album of the Year (the second youngest, next to Billie Eilish). She also has had the most successful tour of all time.
Her lyrics, especially on her newer albums, are wonderful, and she has a nice alto voice. Personally, my two favorite albums by her are Folklore and Speak Now, so if you haven't listened to a lot of her music, I would recommend starting there.

She is overhated and underrated. How is Selena Gomez 4 and our girl Taylor 16? I have nothing against anyone on this list. In fact, I love them all and think they're all amazing, but the fact that Swift isn't 1? Bro, that's messed up.
She is so talented, pretty, and creative. If you ask me, people are jealous that she's better than any of their fave singers and stuff. Anyway, GO TAYLOR!
Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley was an American singer and actor, widely dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll" and regarded as a pivotal cultural icon of the 20th century. His energetic musical interpretation and provocative performance style, bridging racial music traditions in a shifting era, both fueled his fame... read more

My number one is Elvis, Elvis, Elvis!
He is still a record-breaking music icon, 42 years after his death. He was the King of Rock and Roll and the Artist of the Century. As much as I loved his great voice, his heart-stopping good looks, and the energy in his performances, what I love most of all is his kind and generous heart.
It is reported that Elvis used to say, "What good is fame or fortune if you can't share it with your friends?" He gave so much to his friends, family, charities, strangers, and fans. That is someone with love in their heart. So, I have nothing but respect and honor for Elvis the man.
Few facts:
He was the largest single contributor to the Pearl Harbor Monument.
Ed Sullivan introduced a song, describing Presley's plea for people to donate to the charitable cause of Hungarian refugee relief. In a subtle attempt to explain Presley's choice to sing a gospel song, Sullivan said Elvis was going to "sing a song he feels that this is sort of in the mood that he'd like to create." He sang "Peace in the Valley."
Elvis bought Roosevelt's yacht and donated it to support St. Jude's Hospital.
Thank you, Elvis! I will be your fan until my last breath.
Rihanna

Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, Barbados. She began her music career in 2003 by recording demo tapes with producer Evan Rogers and eventually signed with Def Jam Records after an audition for Jay-Z. Rihanna... read more

She is the greatest singer of all time, right next to My Chemical Romance. They are so passionate about what they do, and their music excites me and gives me energy. She's beautiful and has a great voice. Her music is truly amazing, and she is a good influence on young women. She is true to herself and always supports other women. She also went through a rough time, especially with Chris Brown hurting her.

Her interview with Oprah shows how emotionally intelligent she is. She really loves her fans and knows how to have fun.
Adele

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, born May 5, 1988, is an English singer and songwriter. She graduated from the BRIT School in 2006 and signed with XL Recordings after a demo posted on Myspace gained attention. She's best known for emotional ballads like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, and Easy... read more

After watching how quickly the tickets sold for her Minneapolis show, I think she's better than being the 91st favorite celebrity.

Amazing voice. Should be in the top 20.
Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known as Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress, and has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2013.
She is among the best-selling artists ever, with four Guinness World Records... read more

She is so awesome! Even though she came from humble beginnings, she fought her way to superstardom. Katy Perry makes my little kitten spirit into a roaring tiger. She is so motivational.

Katy, you are a smart, beautiful, and talented woman, and you share so many things with your friends. That's what I admire most about you! Love you.

Katy Perry is okay, but Taylor Swift is better! But I do love some of Katy Perry's songs!
Mariah Carey

She's often regarded as a sex symbol through her songs and videos, and has been noted in the press... read more

Mariah Carey is a wonderful singer with a wonderful singing voice, and I am a big, huge, number one fan of Mariah Carey! My top favorite songs from Mariah Carey are: Heartbreaker, Dreamlover, Honey, Migrate, When You Believe, One Sweet Day, Always Be My Baby, Love Takes Time, Vision of Love, Emotions, Make It Happen, Sweetheart, Shake It Off, and Butterfly.

Mariah Carey is one of the best singers of all time and has made history in music.

I love her! She has been my favorite singer for as long as I can remember.

Her debut album Some Hearts, released in 2005, produced five hit songs, including "Before He Cheats... read more

I really love Carrie Marie Underwood, and I am a big, huge, number one Carrie Underwood fan, and I really love her beautiful singing voice. I really love all of her songs, including See You Again, Jesus, Take the Wheel, Wasted, Southbound, Smoke Break, Cowboy Casanova, Good Girl, Blown Away, Flat on the Floor, Ghosts on the Stereo, Cry Pretty, The Champion, Temporary Home, and Just a Dream.

Carrie Underwood is the best singer out there. She is amazingly beautiful and talented. She has a lot of respect and cares for others. And she has a lot of religious values. She's the best.
Barack Obama

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, becoming the first African-American to hold the office. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. Senator from Illinois (2005 to 2008) and as an Illinois state senator... read more

Everyone who said Obama is stupid is wrong. If Obama were stupid, he wouldn't have been president. Some of his actions may be questionable, but that doesn't make him stupid. He achieved a lot and tackled many challenges, yet he still succeeded.
We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges. - Barack Obama

Apparently so, since he was named the most admired man in America for 2015.
Justin Bieber

Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada, and is Christian. He is the son of Pattie Mallette, an author.
Justin Bieber is best known for his songs "Baby" and "What Do You Mean?" As of mid 2025, 11 of... read more

So many people are hating on him and other celebrities, but he still stays strong. Every person in this world makes mistakes, including him, because he is also human, right? So haters, you don't have the right to hate him. If someone has done something wrong to you, then you have the right to hate them, but he hasn't done anything wrong. He is a good person. He makes better music than other artists in this world. He is a legend of all time. Beliebers always love him. He is a superstar. And please stop calling him gay. There are many celebrities in the world who may look like that, but I don't think he looks like that. Haters are trying to diminish his fame, so guys, please don't hate him. He is the best.
