She is humble and friendly, yet isn't afraid to speak her mind.
Of course, there's also her stunningly amazing voice, which isn't auto-tuned at all. That's why her live shows are a true gift.
She's great. She's a breath of fresh air for the industry. She writes her own music, and it's not contrived.

Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and choreographer... read more I saw the list and expected Bruno Mars to be at 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 not the first.
One of the few singers who sound better live than in the studio, and doesn't need to cover up with flashy lights and auto-tune.
His songs always have soul and energy.
Bruno Mars draws from all the greats and blends them with his unique talents to touch both young and old alike. He is an incredible artist, showman, and spirit!

She's undoubtedly the queen of pop music.
It's not just her pop music success. She's also excelled in country music. Her voice allows her to sing a vast range of styles.
Take her dreamy country song Love Story, then consider Safe and Sound, and then move to Shake It Off and finally to Look What You Made Me Do. She has sung them all perfectly, and the last two have also topped the Billboard Hot 100. She certainly deserves to be at the top of this list. Come on, guys, vote for Taylor Swift!

He's an average singer with good range. Some of his music is good too.
This must be a pretty old website because Eddie is amazing!

Rihanna is also the second best-selling female artist of all time, after Madonna. She holds the title for most #1 hits as a female pop singer, after Mariah Carey (14 #1s)! It seems like every single song she releases becomes a hit.
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.
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child.

Whether you liked her music or not, one thing's for sure: she was one of the most talked-about celebrities. It's a tragedy that she died so young.
If only she could fight her addictions. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. There was too much going on, and she just couldn't cope. R.I.P., Amy.
She's the best singer ever in this century. With her music that is relatable and so unique, nobody else can replace her.
She will live on for centuries to come and inspire so many people.
Cher Lloyd is an English singer, songwriter, rapper, and model. She rose to fame in 2010 when she finished fourth in the seventh series of The X Factor. Not the best, but one of my favorites. I just love her style.

Her four-octave vocal range has received critical acclaim, and her personal life has been the subject of widespread media attention. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Grammy... read more She should be a lot higher on this list. Maybe not #1, but at least in the top ten or twenty or something. JUST NOT #30!
She has an amazing voice, and her vocal range is four octaves (fact, NOT opinion). Also, she's way better than some of the other people on this list.
Everybody judges her just for her looks, like, "Wow, she's so cute," but they should also listen to her voice. Her four-octave range is quite remarkable. Even though she doesn't do whistle notes anymore, listen to her "Emotions" cover and you will understand why she has one of the best, if not the best, voices of our generation.
Xoxo,
A humble Arianator

Ryan Benjamin Tedder is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer. He is well known for being the lead vocalist of the pop rock band OneRepublic Awesome singer from OneRepublic. One of the greatest vocal ranges from someone who's not a woman that I've ever heard.
Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian–French singer-songwriter and actress. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million. What? That much less for someone like her? You have to listen to her songs. Her voice is so hard to achieve. Such a talented person deserves a top 5 spot. How can Ke$ha be before her? Autotune can never reach her amazing voice! Avril Lavigne is extremely talented!
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.
I really like the song I Will Be. It's the most beautiful song ever!
Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler, known professionally as Enrique Iglesias, is a Spanish singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. What the hell is Enrique doing in position 14? People, he should be 1. Have you all heard his new song Heart Attack? It rocks.
He has started to sing better nowadays, but he used to sing well before too. Please vote.
This list is wrong. Enrique must be at the top of the list. His voice is amazing.
Enrique should be after Michael Jackson. That idiot Justin Bieber should be at the bottom of the list.
He really sings from the heart. He knows what music is.
He is the best. In short, he is just brilliant and awesome.
Christina María Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known for songs such as "Beautiful", "Genie In A Bottle", "Fighter", "Hurt", "Dirrty", "Your Body", "Lady Marmalade", "Reflection", "I Turn To You", "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" "What A Girl Wants", and... read more I could listen to her voice forever! She is the best vocalist and tends to be a little underrated. She deserves to be much more well-known.
I hope one day everyone will listen to Christina. 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's, and better songs too. Katy Perry puts much more creativity into her music than Taylor Swift, whose music is boring, uncreative, and rude.
Britney Jean Spears, born on December 2, 1981, is an American former singer and actress. She was born in McComb, Mississippi, and 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... read more 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 managed to change the pop scene with that kind of effect at such a young age - something that is hardly achieved by many upcoming singers of today! No one can ever replace this woman.
She is truly the most unique, even though she may not have the best voice. 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.
