Most Talented Female Singers of the 21st Century
In some ways Jackie Evancho has blessed the wrong century. With a generation that thinks rap is music and beatboxing is singing, Jackie's out of this world voice and musical talent is light-years above and beyond the comprehension of today's popular musical interests.
I was at a recent concert of Jackie's in 2016. There was a much younger mix of people in her audience than there used to be. Quite a few teenagers. I did notice one group that looked like they had been dragged there by their parents and for the first few songs they appeared disinterested in Jackie's songs. Then Jackie sang Taylor Swift's "Safe and Sound" and Sam Smith's "Writings On the Wall", both award winning songs by them. These teens immediately perked up and began talking among themselves. Their applause was more genuine and louder. They realized she wasn't the just the little opera singer they had believed her to be. She crushed those songs and these kids knew it. Ariana may be a good singer but Jackie Evancho can sing more types of music than her and do it better. Everyone will see when she gets some more original songs out there and more publicity how good she really is.
Despite her age, Jackie Evancho is one of the hardest working entertainers performing in concerts around the world. In just five short years in the entertainment industry, she has completed 5 albums, done T.V. specials, performed for National holiday celebrations, represented this country for foreign dignitaries, and done numerous spots for humanitarian and animal protection public service announcements. She has stage presence beyond her years and vocal abilities that are just beginning to demonstrate how exceptional she is. Other female entertainers should judge her on her vocal talent, not her age. Now that she is a teenager, the challenges for her to fit in, in a largely adult industry, will start to wain. She may hold this spot at number 1 for a long time. She has worked very hard to get here. She is unique and in a class all her own.
Some here have questioned why she is not as big a star as many others on this list, if she's so good. Popular success is not just about talent or ability, and sometimes is completely unrelated. I don't believe in hanging out on these boards just to trash people, but give an objective listen to Jackie and then a huge star like Taylor Swift or Celine Dion, and you realize how thin and incomplete their voices are by comparison to hers. She doesn't do conventional pop, she doesn't twerk or hang out with trashy people, she is too young to have had embarrassing things happen to her for the media to feed on, and her family have actually limited her exposure. Listen to her sing "Your Love" and you will never be the same.
She is destined to become a top model, or an actress perhaps - but more than all else, she is certain to become the top vocalist and stage performer of the 21st century.
It's amazing how Chithra can go from low to a high note with what appears much effort. But I do see the extension on her voice to express emotion, how she pushes the note to get every drop of emotion as she can as..
She is also beautiful and creative. She is very hard working which can be seen as she has sung in so many different languages and also gained respect from people who know the language.. She is the most praised singer for today and there is no doubt she is versatile. She is a living legend.
Ariana is undoubtedly the most talented female singer of the 21st Century. She is the only one who can compete with all time greats such as Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera.
I love Ariana! Jackie Envancho SUCKS! Get Jackie off of this list she doesn't belong here!
Not only does she sound like an angel, she is an angel. #Perfect
Come onn...
how can she be better than taylor swift or katy perry or adele?
she is not even better than selena gomez
She won 3 Grammys, has sold 23 million albums world wide, has had 11 INTERNATIONAL singles and is the first and most successful American Idol!
Vocal perfection + awesome personality.
She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She won 4 Guinness World Records, 5 MTV Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 16'ASCAP Pop Music Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards, 14 People's Choice, 1 Juno Award, 2 Myx Music Awards, 3 NRJ Awards, 6 Teen Choice and a Brit Award. ...read more.
Is it necessary to "heat" one person in order to like another? I feel sorry for you. But at least learn to spell. By the way, Katy's pretty good but she needs too much technical enhancement to rank this high on the list.
There were several times when she was singing on the radio and we heard the song.
I heat Jackie Evan Cho I didn't even know who she was katy is the best
Very good singer as long as the auto-tune equipment is working.
She developed an interest in country music when she was around nine years old. After watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt inspired to go to Nashville to begin a country music career. Subsequently,... read more
Worst overrated singer and 8 percent voted for her heeeloo 8percent voted for katy too and she has ZERO variety of songs and heard her with no autotune and her concerts are lovely as she LIPSYINCS.
Every one would love her different love and breakup songs
Bad role model and awful voice
Should not even be on this list, since she is not really a singer or musician at all, but is just a very pretty dancer, who has a moderate amount of singing ability.
Who can forget about Queen Bey?
The best female singer of the century!
She deserves more
Adele should be #1!
I'm pleasantly surprised to mostly find comments praising her on this list. I just want to add that Miley has also sung a considerable range of different musical styles and has covered many classics even if I don't think it has always gone well I still think it further shows how she deserves to be on this list and arguably fairly high.
You can hate her, but there's no denying that she's talented. She is a great vocalist, an amazing songwriter, can play multiple instruments, can dance, can act, can rap and produces her songs. Is there anything she can't do?
I live for her voice
Amazing vocals.
I mean she can actually sing unlike freaky Nicki
Underrated vocal beast.
