the best singer you've ever heard?

[BmoreGorilla]

Patti and Whitney

 

[Beedad]

To many to name...

Whitney
Jersey stand up!

Jill Scott gave me goose bumps because there were parts of her show when she didn't use the mic and her voice filled NJPAC.

this is a hard question. i dont think i can single it down to one,

vesta williams, dwele, amerie, el debarge, and others all hit different notes to me

Whitney and Gaye came to mind first. Always dug lead signers from Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey as well. But I listen to R and B/Pop for beats and flow, not voices.
I think Mary J is like a honorable mention just for going so far, when they said she could only do one style or really couldn't sign well. Like most improved.



Adam Lambert from American Idol is pretty good for that type of music.




Bruno Mars is the best of this era.

 

[IronFist]

Marvin Gaye
Curtis Mayfield more so the message he place within his songs like We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue, New World Order (if you listen to the lyrics its still relevant)

those two come to mind

double

 

[I love Latina women]

A very underrated/overlooked voice is Coko, im not sure there was anyone in the 90s with a better voice, including Mariah

Rashaan Patterson for the men is up there too

i love her
