    At 3:31 of the song "Without You" by Christina Aguilera off her CD "Back to Basics" she actually sings 16 seperate notes in 2 seconds. I think that is pretty remarkable.

    Art Garfunkel. Check out 2 songs to see why I think so. "Bridge Over Troubled Water", and the live version of "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her". His voice is so strong and clean. I get actual chills down my spine when hearing either of these two songs.

    Carrie Underwood for female.

    Josh Turner for male.

    I also like Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and George Jones.

    John Cale has a mighty voice.

    Neil Young has a very distinctive tenor.

    Bob Dylan has the voice of a mighty smoker.

    ... Oh yeah, Johnny Rotten too.

    I wouldn't be able to choose from the above.

    I think it is Mariah Carey. She is amazing how high she can sing. I also like her modern R&B songs. They're not as good as the old ones where she go like WOAH!

    Maybe Bobby McFerrin:

    http://www.bobbymcferrin.com

    (Three videos)

    Maybe Bono Vox from U2, if what I heard was his *real* voice and not enhanced.

    Or Josh Groban, he has got an amazing voice!

    (One video)

    For female Dolores O'Riordan

    (Last video)

    If I had to choose just one, it would be Bobby McFerrin.

    If forced to choose from the singers I've heard in my life, I can only say she is whom I like the best. I doubt if she is the greatest.

    Depends on genre and opinion. However these are some of the artists that would be considered for the title:

    Michael Jackson, Whitney Housten, Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli, Mariah Carey, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Luciano Pavarotti, Elvis Presley.

    There are probably many more that are at the same level vocally as the singers ive listed, feel free to add to my list if you think ive left anyone out.
