The obvious answer to this would be Freddie Mercury, but I would like to shine some light on the singer of Beast in Black, Yannis Papadopoulos. If you close your eyes and listen to this song, you would think it's a female singing. Absolutely incredible vocal range:

Wow, yeah that's awesome. Thanks for the deep cut!

Otis Reading has to be up there - some of the most iconic songs in the world and not given as much credit as he should.

And to consider a lot of his fame came posthumous, it's unbelievable to hear him sampled in some of the biggest songs of the last decade, without him reaching the heights of other posthumous stars.

Granted 'cos Otis is a legend, but a friendly reminder to check the bounty instructions - we were looking for a clip of their best work as well to share the brilliance :-)

I write this with emotion because in college this band got me through it along with several others, but these guys, are special to me.

Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park and IMo one of the greatest voices of our time, could go as low as needed and as high as a kite. His music, his words, effected me more profoundly than any of you could imagine.

R.I.P You Legend.

Karen Carpenter

Her voice is so deep and melancholic even though the Carpenters were known as a very easy-listening/poppy act. But 'Superstar' is one of the saddest, most beautiful songs

Who is the best singer ever? In my opinion, it's undoubtedly Luciano Pavarotti.

Unfortunately, I was too young to hear his magnificent tenor in person before he passed away. My selection of 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's 'Turandot' to showcase his talent is also a nod to my deep appreciation for Puccini's works. This particular aria exemplifies the emotional intensity and stunning vocal prowess that Pavarotti brought to every piece, especially those composed by Puccini, whom I hold in high regard.

Impossible to argue with this. Simply astonishing voice.

Adele! In my opinion, is one of the most powerful singers in todays world. She’s always had such an outstanding voice. One of a kind. I feel as if she could literally sing anything and it would sound amazing.

Nina Simone.

Most powerful voice I've ever heard! The fact her songs are so entrancing without much production behind them is definitely a testament to her voice.

Another top contender is John Martyn. He isn't the most technically talented yet the coarseness of his voice makes him really interesting to listen to. If you have the time please watch this whole video of this performance because it hits you so deep <3

I always strive to follow the rules, so when it comes to 'one means one,' I take it seriously >_<

As a result, even simple questions can take me days to fully process and crystallize into a final answer. I often find myself engaging coworkers and family members in discussions, seeking their perspectives to help form my own opinion. It’s a thorough process, but it helps me arrive at well-considered conclusions.

And yea, Nina Simone is an elite, no doubt about it
