Sarah Brightman is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, musician, songwriter, conductor, and dancer. Among the women, Sarah is in league by herself. NOBODY brings what she does to the musical table. On a scale of 1 to 100, Sarah stands alone near the top with Katherine Jenkins coming in at about 75. Jackie Evancho and Charlotte Church rate in the sixties with the rest below the 50 mark. Sarah's Brightman's DVD 'Symphony: Live in Vienna' heard via a quality sound system is unquestionable evidence of the musical standing.
Not only a living legend for what she's achieved in The Phantom Of The Opera and Requiem, Sarah Brightman is hands down the champion on this list and all-round global artist.
Ever the class act and absolute professional performer, she is in humble servitude of music. And that's what makes her iconic.
She's the only one, nothing compare's to her wide spectrum. Pop, Gothic, Musical, Classic - she can do everything with her voice.
Her angelic voice and her passion of singing makes her a DIVA that nobody else can. Wonderful!

Dimash is best known as a contestant of Chinese talent show "Singer 2017" where he was declared a runner-up. He is also known for possessing a wide vocal range, measuring up to 5 octaves. There is no singer like Dimash not after hearing him sing in the 2019 Minsk European Games Opening, "Olimpico" no sorry after hearing him there is no other powerful voice like his, hear it for yourself if you don't believe me on YOUTUBE.
He has a unique technique and range, in addition to which he is subject to all musical vocal genres - from opera to rock, jazz. Rap, and so on!
Dimash not only sings splendidly in all styles and genres, but, somehow, mixes them splendidly in one piece, which is unique in itself !
Very powerful and pure voice!

With her pitch perfect 8 octave range and natural melody, Hayley Westenra has the perfect combination of talent. She always presents with a professional, refined stage presence that carries her beauty and sophistication. Most other female singers of the modern age should look and learn from her.

The singer with the wonderful voice.
Sissel, when only the best will do.
First becoming notable as a live performer in British dining/drinking commercial business, his already obvious vocal tonality and range gifts caused listeners to suggest that he consider adding more classically oriented music to his memorized songs. Again, his apparently easy capacity to learn new and even non-English language songs began serving him well. Russell is capable of presenting his voice is such strikingly different ways within moments within the same song that as a recording listener, you would quite reasonably think that two different singers were performing a duet. Seriously strange duality. He can jump from what sounds like a full-blown classic operatic tenor voice to a playful but competent pop sound, probably within the same breath. He's quite competent and comfortable with both. Freddie Mercury understood well how it is possible to pleasingly combine pop sounds with classic operatic sounds within specific songs, and Russell shares that insight as well. Comparing ...more

His first four solo albums have been certified multi-platinum, and he was charted in 2007 as the number-one best selling artist in the United States, with over 22.3 million records.1st time I heard her sing it was on Britain's Got Talent & I thought that I was listening to the most beautiful singer in the world so beautiful that she brought me to tears. I got to meet her in person also & couldn't believe that I was actually meeting my all time favorite singer, I was so excited to meet her in person.
Mark Vincent won Australia's Got Talent in 2009 at the tender age of 15 when he already possessed the voice of a grown man. His version of "Nessun Dorma" (at aged 15) is MIND-BLOWING! Since winning, he has released 7 albums (one with fabulous Australian artist, Marina Prior), all charting extremely well. Mark has also had roles in 2 musicals - "Dirty Dancing" & "My Fair Lady" - & he has been the special guest of Dame Katherine Jenkins on 2 of her concert tours.
True to his Italian roots, Mark Vincent has a commanding GLORIOUS voice, an engaging personality & he's very easy on the eye. He sings in both English & Italian & his concert tours are magical. He has the best male voice I've had the pleasuring of hearing since Luciano Pavarotti.
I attended one of his concerts recently and! His voice is so big it could power an aeroplane! And it's such a beautiful, majestic voice. He even sang a little without a microphone and it's almost as powerful as when he sings with a microphone... a voice in a trillion.
I have followed his career since discovering his original performances on Australia's Got Talent. Great voice ... He should be a recognized international star.
Jonathan Antoine is a classically trained English tenor. He rose to fame after appearing on the sixth series of Britain's Got Talent in 2012 as one half of the classical duo Jonathan and Charlotte.
Mario Lanza was an American tenor of Italian ancestry, and an actor and Hollywood film star of the late 1940s and the 1950s. Lanza began studying to be a professional singer at the age of 16. In terms of sheer vocal beauty, Lanza's voice was and still is the "gold standard" by which others must be judged to be considered among the best tenor voices ever recorded. His recordings inspired Pavarotti, Domingo, Carerras and a list of others that could fill a page. No other has had and still has other tenors creating recordings to present their versions of Lanza's memorable recordings. I personally own more than a dozen of those "tribute to" Lanza CDs and the same was true back when vinyl was the main recording medium. Easy to find Lanza errors including mispronounced words and silly stuff that should have been edited out by recording staff rather than released as permanent recordings. But in terms of astonishingly beautiful tonality, his performances have yet to be even equaled. One problem was that he knew it which was probably largely responsible for him acting like a spoiled brat.
