who is the best singer in the world?

Justin Bieber, not.

Lana del Rey is the best singer in the world for me. Her voice is so incredible as that of an angel. ¡I love her!

Beonce, Shakira, Mikel Jakcos

Hello Welly: It all depends upon your criteria. Without objectively identifying what the criteria is, for determining the "best" any conlusion will not be objective. I have no such objective criteria, not being musically inclined. I will venture a few guesses and I will exclude the greats from the realm of Opera, because I simply do not know them. I will also do some classificiation as to genre: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women #1: / Chloe Agnew of "Celtic Woman" / Joan Armatrading / Karen Carpenter / Jackie Evancho / Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane./ Amy Grant Men #1 Nat King Cole / No question here. The greatest voice ever for popular music. Nat King Cole was without peer. -------------- COUNTRY WESTERN MEN: #1 = Johnny Cash "Run On" & "The First Time I Saw Your Face" followed by: Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings COUNTRY WESTERN WOMEN #1 Patsy Cline, followed by K. D. Lang, Taylor Swift ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blues Men: #1 Robert Johnson, Memphis Slim "Born with the Blues" Blues Women: #1 Koko Taylor "I got what it takes" (Just some names that I like to think about. I am hardly an authority on the subject)

Nick Cave. Or maybe Leonard Cohen ? What about Sir Paul McCartney ?

Well.. I love AXL Rose!

He's the best for me!!

But I like so much James Hetfield and others Rockers..
