The Top Ten
1 Cher Cher is an American singer and actress. Described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, she is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long... read more

Cher had her own musical TV show with Sonny Bono, and she starred in numerous films, from drama to comedy! She also published many hit songs solo and with others! And yet Lindsay Lohan is above her? Hello!

I can't rave enough about her new ABBA album called "Dancing Queen." It's that good. Besides being an incredible singer, she's starred in 18 movies and received a number of awards, including an Oscar.

The Goddess of Pop has won numerous awards, including an Oscar. She has starred in 18 movies, has a superb voice, and is a kick-ass performer.

2 Whitney Houston Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, Guinness World Records cited her as the most awarded female act of all time. Houston is one of pop music's best-selling music artists of all-time, with an estimated 170–200... read more

You all should go somewhere because Whitney Houston is better than all the people on this list. She has been in the business for years, and she sings with such depth that she can give you chills unlike anyone ahead of her.

I'm sorry, but have you seen some of her original movies like The Bodyguard? Not many people can sing the way she does, and nowadays, you don't really have that.

She may not be a great actress, but there is no one better at singing, period! Even after 20 years, her voice and charisma resonate in my heart.

3 Madonna Madonna Louise Ciccone, known professionally as Madonna, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She influenced a lot of singers such as: Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears. She is known as Queen of Pop and at modern pop culture specifically... read more

Madonna did some bad roles, but she was really great in "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985), "Bloodhounds of Broadway" (1989), "Dick Tracy" (1990), "A League of Their Own" (1992), "Dangerous Game" (1993), "Evita" (1996), and "Girl 6" (1996).

To be honest, I enjoyed her acting in "The Next Best Thing" (2000) too. Her character wasn't that likable, but overall, I liked her performance.

4 Selena Gomez Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for songs like "Come & Get It", "Good For You", "Same Old Love", and "It Ain't Me". Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

She started out acting, then she started singing. She is so beautiful and respected. I love her so much. She has inspired me to follow my dreams.

She is such a darling! She totally deserves to be #1. Lots of love from Pakistan, darling.

Selena... Gosh, this name. She deserves to be #1. She is the best! The best dancer, the best singer, the best actress... What more can I say? She is the most precious person in the whole world.

5 Beyonce Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from... read more

Her voice inspires me to be like her when I grow up.

She proved to be a good actress in her movies, like her Golden Globe-nominated performances in Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records.

She is the best. I have always listened to her music and always will.

6 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

Her acting career is just getting started, but playing Robert Redford's daughter in his recent movie "The Company You Keep," she was just about perfect.

She acts and sings, and unmistakably, she is the best I have seen and heard. A natural talent with an unnatural ability to make me listen, see, and smile.

She has also done commercials and videos.

7 Janet Jackson Janet Jackson is a singer and dancer who is well known for her sexually graphic records, iconic performances, and slightly weak voice. She is regarded as a sex symbol through her songs and videos.
8 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF... read more

The Contenders
11 Barbra Streisand Barbara Joan Streisand, known professionally as Barbra Streisand, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and filmmaker.

I don't know why she is #11 and not #1. This woman has all the talent in the world. Considering her childhood and early stages of adulthood, she has come so far. Her activism is also so lovable, as is her character and personality. With her career in Hollywood, she is very deserving of #1, especially with her six decades of work. Pure talent is the definition of Queen Babs (Barbra Joan Streisand).

She should be number 1. Those who disagree should lie down and listen to her version of Windmills of Your Mind. Watch an early movie of hers with Redford. You will wake up and smell the coffee! Hey, I like women too, laugh out loud.

12 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning... read more
13 Dolly Parton Dolly Rebecca Parton is an American singer-songwriter, actress, author, businesswoman, and humanitarian, known primarily for her work in country music.

An icon and a win for the world. She is charismatic, elegant, and a true beauty to listen to.

14 Julie Andrews Dame Julia "Julie" Elizabeth Andrews is an English film and stage actress, singer, author, theatre director and dancer.

She has embodied some of our favorite characters on the screen and stage. Not only does she bless us with tremendous acting, but also with a pure and comforting voice. I think of her as an actress and singer in equal measure, which I believe is an essential criterion for a place on this list.

While the other fabulous women in the higher ranks of this list are wonderful as either singers or actresses, none of them have truly earned their place as both. Julie has one of the best voices of her generation, and she has brought everyone so much joy through both mediums (song and screen) that she deserves to be at the top of this list among the many other great performers listed.

15 Judy Garland Judy Garland, born Frances Ethel Gumm (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American singer, actress, and vaudevillian. The American Film Institute named her 8th greatest female star of classic American cinema. She's also the mother of actress and singer Liza Minnelli.

Are you kidding me? What's wrong with you people? Obviously, Judy Garland is the best singing actress ever!

Greatest singer in history by a mile!

16 Lea Michele Lea Michele Sarfati is an American actress, singer and author. She began her career as a child actress on Broadway, appearing in productions of Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening.

Her voice is so amazing. She is a true shining star and she can sing anything. Come on, number 5? She sang everything on Glee, from "Baby One More Time" to "Defying Gravity." She has a Broadway voice and is brilliant on Broadway songs, but she really nails some pop songs as well.

Lea Michele is amazing. She has better skills than Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, and every other person on this list.

She looks nice and pretty! She should be in the top three!

17 Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Dee Lohan is an American actress. In addition to acting, she is also a model, singer, songwriter, director, and producer. She has appeared in several notable films including The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, and Mean Girls
18 Mandy Moore Amanda Leigh "Mandy" Moore is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Moore first came to prominence with her 1999 debut single, Candy, which peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100... read more

Mandy can pull it off! She can play the character well, especially in the most promising movie of 2002, "A Walk to Remember," based on a novel. She was also one of the bullies in "The Princess Diaries." Her movies include "Chasing Liberty," "How to Deal," and "Because I Said So." Vote for Mandy Moore.
