Vocalists
Today at work, a group of us were debating who was the best female vocalist (in pop music) of our time. We came to an agreement pretty easily. for me, it came down to three factors for the judging: clarity, vocal range and consistency (consistency meaning they sound great every time we hear them sing).So the winners were in this order:
Whitney Houston
Christina Aguillera
Celine Dion
Jewel (one of my personal favorites)
Maria Carey
For male vocalists, we did not discuss. It's kind of hard for me to determine who has the best male vocals. I love Luther Vandross, Sting and Seal but I would not say they have the best vocals in their genre. I have been listening to the Gipsy Kings quite a bit lately. I'm not sure who sings lead on the vocals but whoever it is sounds absolutely beautiful to me.

Sorry your winners didn't include Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald. But dearie, I'm much older than you!
Yes, we were only looking at current singers that are around today (on the pop music scene).
I don't think I would be able to chose between these two but if I had to, I would chose Sarah Vaughn.
So would I! I like Ella but I am really in love with Sarah's singing.
Oh yeah. Her voice makes me melt inside. Keylargo was a splendid choice for that Acura car commercial.
