honorable mentions
Aretha Franklin technically the best? but something about her tone ..
Dionne Warwick has the cleanest, clearest, unadulterated voice of them all.

:patrice:

this is tough....


some days it feels like Whitney is the consensus GOAT, but then a lot of the times its like mariah is GOATed... not just because of her range, but her ability to switch between notes - she can go from a deep voice to a whistle register then a deep voice again, which is crazy.

Minnie Ripperton should be there to.

I really think Lisa Fischer needs to be in this conversation. Honestly, I don't know why her career didn't blow up in the 90s, but @2:30 sees her take it from one level to the next.


Thank You!! I came here just to add Lisa Fischer to the list. I confidently put her against anybody, including Whitney.

Whitney herself implied Brandy was a weak vocalist when they collabed together on cinderella. She said she don't have range just sings well in one key.
I'd take her off that list
