Which singer has (or had) the Greatest Voice of all time?

[JediJohnnie]

Phil Collins is my favorite! I could listen to the guy sing the phone book.

Ol Dino did have a great voice....

I love Chad Kroeger from Nickelback! He has a rough and sexy voice.

The greatest singer of all time? That's a tough one, there are so many different ones to choose from. Mariah Carey and Christina Aguliera definitely has two of the greatest ranges of all time. I liked that someone said Freddie Mercury, but I think it'd have to be Michael Jackson. He had the whole package. Everyone wanted to dance like him, everyone wanted to sing like him and everyone wanted to be him.

David Bowie was probably my second choice.

Michael Jackson voice is wonderful.

My all time favorite is "ol blue eyes" Frank Sinatra,  REAL singer.

I would concur about the best male singer.  I'm leaning toward Karen Carpenter for female.

I am going to go with some of the posters in this thread and state Whitney Houston. The way in which she sang the National Anthem....beautiful. The manner in which her life (and that of her daughter a few years later) ended was tragic.

I really love Adele's voice so she is the first that comes to mind...but there are a few people on Broadway that have the most gorgeous voices! Too many to name!

There are far too many great vocalists to just choose one.

I liked Frank Sinatra & Sam Cook also...

The female artist, Celine Dion her music are soul searching.

Aretha Franklin ... BUT ... to sing pop music you don't have to have a great voice. I can't name one Aretha song I like, quite frankly. Most of the music I listen to isn't made by "all-stars," but I still enjoy their music.

I also loved Freddie Mercury. The first time i heard his songs was in a diner in Cleveland, Ohio and "Another Bit the Dust" was playing. Then I totally loved his opera music. Can't remember is it  "We Are the Champions" (?)  Plus when he sang with the real opera star. He had a great voice....but Elvis is still# #1 as I stated earlier.

Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees,Roy Orbison,Shaggy,Pavarotti ,the late great Freddie Mercury on the female side there are so many:Amy Grant,Julie Andrews,Paula Abdul,the late great Laura Brannigan... Don't know how you can try for 1 all around great (And in this era with voice synthesizers today's singers are so fake they're all Milli Vanilli and Ashley Simpsons.
