Having the better voice doesn't make you a a better singer, necessarily. Michael Bolton is bland and predictable - he has a powerful voice, but all his songs sound the same and all he can do is wail away with excess pathos, not subtlety or nuance. Prince doesn't have a big, powerful voice, but consider all the different styles he can sing in and the many, creative ways he finds to attack the lyrics of a song - he is a much better singer than Bolton, doing more with less due to his unbridled creativity.

Ozzy is surprisingly good, especially when you consider that most people can barely understand him when he speaks.

Brummie accent with a stutter.
 
Went with
Robert Plant - legendary
Ozzy - maybe nostalgic, but a good voice
Bjork - powerful with a lot of range,
Prince - he's a genius and takes risks
Probably should have Celine in there, but that cunt will get over it.
And on talent and skill, Celine has be be included.

I love Phil Collins and Paul McCartney, but if I had one more vote it would be Sam Cooke. I just don't know enough about Nina Simone...
 
Ozzy
Simone
Collins
Bryne
Prince

Phil Collins would laugh in your face if he heard you say he was a better singer than Celine Dion. Maybe drummer and/or producer..
 
I went with people that were stand outs in their genres, but avoided genres I hate (I know Celine and Christina can sing, but I have no interest in listening)
1. Sam Cooke-Voice like Silk
2. Prince-Not a classical voice, but Purple Rain is a top 3 album ever.
3. Phil Collins-I think he has a great tone, and think No Jacket is a top 5 80s album. Can change the mood in a room with his voice.
4. Robert Plant-In his prime fronted the greatest, most epic band ever. ot now, but he gave us everything he had.
5. Ozzy-Made Heavy Metal listenable for everyone, no range, perfect tone though.
Silk:
 
Robert Plant
Paul McCartney
Nina Simone
Sly Stone
Sam Cooke

Robert Plant
Ozzy Osbourne
George Michaels
Paul McCartney
Curtis Mayfield

Michaels is probably the best singer overall. Plant was dynamic AF before he had vocal issues. Paul had great range and versatility. I don't know enough about Sam Cooke and his music to rank him, but I'm aware of his greatness.
 
I find Plant's singing to be annoying. His voice is one of the main reasons I don't really like Led Zepplin. It hurts me that he is beating out Nina Simone and Sam Cooke.
 
Wow, Celine and Christina getting shit on. 5-6 octave range isn't enough for some of you uneducated fucks. Lol at Ozzy getting votes.
 
In no order of course

Robert Plant
Sam Cooke
Gladys Knight
George Michael
Celine Dion
 
1. Nina Simone
2. Robert Plant
3.
Lauryn Hill
4. George Michaels
 
Holy shit this grouping is rough....

Also how is Prince beating Aguilera?

{<jordan}

Edit: Osbourne is tied with her.
