Ding ding ding! Even theof personalities make sense sometimes. Warren is completely correct. Lists like these really don’t mean anything—they have no true impact when it comes to an artist’s legacy, and certainly no sway when it comes to the loyalty and love of their fans.
A musician’s place on a random list is not the be-all and end-all of their career standing. It certainly doesn’t affect your ability to love them, either. To call’s list drivelous clickbait would be to undermine the hard work of all the writers that contributed to it and the valid criticism that they worked hard on perfecting. But at the same time, putting as much credence into the list as the internet has over the past few days is laughable.
And guess what? Here’s something cool I just learned. If you like Céline Dion, you can simply hit the little “X” next to the browser tab, close the page, and go listen to “. Genuine anger over something like this is absurd and only serves to validate and promote the thing that readers are angry about in the first place.noted in the article’s first few paragraphs, before any of the ranking had begun, “This is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices list.
But, of course, they knew damn well that you’d skip past all of that. They were counting on it! The internet’s cancerous conglomerate of torches and pitchforks fell for it. A more correct way of quantifying a list like this would be to use the word “artist” instead of “singer” so as to not confuse ranking vocal ability with artistic prowess. But would that spark the desired outrage? Unlikely.
It’s a new year, and in 2023, I beg of the Twittersphere: Get your priorities in check. I don’t know how else to tell you that your time and energy would be more wisely invested in anything else. Make something with your hands! Paint a picture. Climb a goddamn tree while we still
beastobsessed Agree. It’s extremely subjective, we all have our own preferences.
beastobsessed RS doesn't care about musicians, all they care about is female vocalists whose voices cause splitting headaches.
beastobsessed Must have been a slow news day!
beastobsessed I don't listen 2 Celine Dion, I don't really care for her music, style, approach, etc, but even I think she should be on this list. Also where is Grace Slick, Elizabeth Fraser, Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, David Sylvian, Greg Lake, Jon Anderson? Barbra Streisand at 147? Ridiculous.
beastobsessed Yes, it is.
beastobsessed Ok. I just scrolled through the list and I totally agree, it's total bullshit. You got dude from BTS on the list but NO ROKY ERICKSON? The 13th Floor Elevators were iconic! No Archie Bell from Archie Bell & The Drells? No❓ Mark, from ❓ and the Mysterions? bullshit
beastobsessed I wasn't aware Celine Dion had transitioned
beastobsessed Well, yrs ago I got mad at a “most overrated singers” list that included Streisand. I just rolled my eyes at a later “best movies of all time” list that was all recent stuff, with “Citizen Kane” & a Chaplin flick or something tossed in to placate people who really care about film
beastobsessed It’s Rolling Stone. They stopped being relevant in the 90s.
limit on canadian artist there ?
. . Rolling Stone has been doing these horseshit lists since 1967 . . John Lennon was on their first cover . . he made the top 20, Bob Dylan was 15, Prince was 16 . . so if you still believe this is anything other than fertilizer . . we’re putting you on OUR list . .
The disrespect was real with this one Celine Dion she’s a real class act💕💕
