The Top Ten
1 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.

I am so sick of cheap, over-produced, bubble-gum pop and screeching satanic perverse garbage that passes as music... THANK GOD for Jackie Evancho! What a breath of fresh air! What a beautiful soprano voice, so rich and thrilling in its tone, so sincere in its passionate expressiveness, so perfect in pitch, and so deep in its inspiration. This girl is THE VOICE I have waited all my life for.

Maybe people have had enough of listening to screechers these past ten years. Jackie Evancho SINGS. She reminds us of how it should be done. Pitch perfect notes and loses herself in the emotion of the songs she performs. Listening to Jackie is a fulfilling experience, not just a background noise. The world of music is at her feet.

Looking forward to her new album. Everything she's done up to now is mucic history and I will continue go back in time to where it all began. Magnificent story, still can't stop listening to her. The long high notes, emotion and innocence. JACKIE, the one and only.

At the age of 10, broke Michael Jackson's record as the youngest artist in US chart history with a Top 2 and Platinum CD. Now age 13, has had her own PBS "Great Performances" T.V. Special TWICE, and will soon tape a THIRD PBS-T.V. Special. Destined to be the greatest singer of her generation.

2 Rick Ross William Leonard Roberts II, better known by his stage name Rick Ross, is an American rapper and entrepreneur.

Looking forward to seeing him as the opening act on the deadmau5 world tour.

He has the best flow and lyrics and he is the most talented rapper.

Jackie Evancho sucks and should be cut of from this list. She is better off being a child slave or a taxi driver.

3 Sage the Gemini Sage the Gemini is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer from Fairfield, California. He is probably most well known for being featured on the Flo Rida song "GDFR."

Saying someone is the best rapper ever is like saying they are the best serial killer ever, not really a good thing.

Not a musician, so not exactly sure how he will save the music industry.

He is the best rapper ever.

4 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.

Style is the exact opposite of rap, which is a good thing

Lana Del Rey is not your typical autotune candy pop trash. She's unique, and she creates her own genre. She deserves more credit.

She's such a good singer I really like her version of once upon a dream

Lana is beautifully perfect. She is different and unique.

Being sued by Radiohead for plagiarism. Awkward.

16 Michael Jackson 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 a propofol and benzodiazepine overdose on June 25, 2009. He donated (at least) a remarkable 500,000,000 dollars to charity. Michael... read more

He's been gone for almost a decade, and no more new music is coming out from him, ever. He still sells a moderate amount of his legacy recordings, and The Beatles sell even more than he does, but its relevant only to themselves, and has zero effect on the industry.

19 The Black Keys The Black Keys is an American indie rock and blues rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001 by Dan Auerbach (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums). The band has often been compared to The White Stripes as they are also an indie rock duo, that works with low fidelity equipment. The band is most well-known for their 2011 album "El Camino", which contained some if the bands most well-known songs and earned two Grammys.

The problem with the music industry is at its core giant record labels vs. everyone else. Being one of the most popular indie bands right now, I think that the Black Keys are most likely to save the music industry. Although their sound isn't as good as other indie bands, in my opinion, the fact that they can make popular music that isn't mass-produced like established artists.
