Most Talented Singers of All Time

The Top Ten
1 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.

Chithra is the best singer in the India, her technique is wholesome and very genius. If she can't reach high notes in a song, she'd still nail it using head tone or falsetto which sometimes makes the song get even more incredible. She owns the song when she sings

If you expect 100% of Chithra, she will give 200% from your expectations. She's so amazing and super talented

Chithra is very versatile, she sings high and low. She is one of the best singers around.

2 Freddie Mercury Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara, 5th September 1946 - 24th November 1991) was a Zanzibari-born British singer of Indian descent, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of the British rock band Queen. He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Before he became a singer he has been in 3 other bands (Ibex, Sour Milk Sea, and The Hectics). He died on November 24, 1991 from bronchopneumonia as a result from HIV/AIDS

Freddie Mercury was the most talented singer of all time and he still is. He even dominates MJ,Elton John,David Bowie,The Who, Beyonce,Elvis and more extremely talented singers and I remark him as the most talented singer in the world because of his devotion towards his music. I mean when he only had a couple of months left to live he was making an album,and it would be his last and he knew it.His band knew he was going to die soon so they asked him to cut the album short but he refused and said "I have to finish this album,just one more album before I go". Even though he was dieing and suffering he still wanted to finish the album. You could even say that album was the finale in Freddie Mercury's legacy."Long live Queen" Long live Freddie Mercury.

Not even close. In the rock/tradpop category, Elvis and Sinatra easily beat him, a bunch of soul singers like James Brown or David Ruffin are also way ahead, and once you get to the classical singers like Pavrotti, Caruso, and Lanza, they are stratospherically above him.

I don't believe that Evancho and Rod Stewart are more talented in your opinion!

Serious? I think, that he is number one for well-known reasons.

One of the most talented young singers of this century, I have found none better. One the the few soprano singers that really moves me to tears-bar none! What a great young talent. Miss Jackie Evancho's voice is just so gorgeous & exquisite...

Check out her 2017 album 'Two Hearts'. There has never been anyone who could sing this many different types of songs as well as Jackie Evancho.

Was singing at 10 at an adult level, she is now making her mark as one of the all time greats. Doubters you will see!

She's already surpassed more milestones in 6 years than many singers have done in a lifetime.

10 Hansi Kürsch Hansi Kürsch, born Hans Jürgen Kürsch, is the lead singer, lyricist, co-composer and bassist for German power metal band Blind Guardian . Heavily influenced by Freddie Mercury, he creates a huge choir effect by overdubbing his own voice multiple times in complex, overlapping vocal harmonies. He records each vocal track individually because harmonizers and "perfect pitch" programs don't work with his voice due to distortion and the natural double layer effects his vocal cords have .
His early technique made use of a more aggressive and harsher, "screaming" technique . ...read more.

Oh my God, he sings layered, processed falsetto, way more talented than the guy who hit an A6 after rupturing his vocal chords

All of these vocalists are great, no doubt. I have seen Bruce, Rob, Ian live, unbelievable. Even though I didn't see Cornell live, listening to him on Temple of the dog, Soundgarden, Audio Slave, solo works. I feel Chris was the most gifted I ever heard
