Whitney a 10 but so is Rachelle Ferrell, Stephanie Mills, Phyllis Hyman, too many gospel singers to name. Y'all should check out old Patti stuff. She didn't always go over the top. She is a 10 and I would argue Jill Scott is as well. She has amazing control and versatility with her voice. She has more range than most think but she rarely goes high like she does on Golden. Nice thread though.You better add stephanie Mills and chante Moore next time
