On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.

Rolling Stone Names '200 Greatest Singers of All Time'

En este episodio vas a conocer algunos aspectos de la cultura argentina que se encuentran intrínsecamente relacionados con la cultura italiana. Este podcast está recomendado para estudiantes de español con un manejo avanzado del idioma.

¿Alguna vez escuchaste hablar del lunfardo? Es una jerga hablada en Arg. con una base preponderantemente italiana. Y es que palabras como “laburo”, “pibe” y “morfar”, derivan de sus expresiones originarias de Italia “lavoro”, “pivetto” y “morfa”.
Este aspecto lingüístico es sólo una de las tantas herencias culturales que hemos recibido de nuestros ancestros italianos y al día de hoy continuamos manteniendo.
Según datos del Gobierno de CABA, casi la mitad de los argentinos tiene sangre italiana, cerca de 700 mil poseen doble ciudadanía y son más de 1000 las instituciones y asociaciones italianas activas en Arg., algo inédito a nivel mundial.
Caminando por los barrios, principalmente de la provincia de Bs. As., es muy común encontrar sociedades de fomento italianas, donde el rezago de los inmigrantes nativos, sus respectivas progenies y simpatizantes de la cultura, comparten habitualmente eventos y actividades.
Asimismo, también es normal encontrar institutos de difusión de la cultura italiana, donde se imparten cursos y eventos sobre la lengua, el arte, viajes al país europeo, entre otros.
La cultura italiana está, aún hoy, muy presente en la cocina argentina. A través de las milanesas, los ñoquis, el aroma de los tucos caseros que se siente al pasar por las veredas, los entrañables crostoli y scones cuyas recetas hemos heredado, son sólo algunos ejemplos.
Y como es mundialmente sabido, los italianos tienen fama de hablar con las manos. Esto también se ve reflejado en el país latino, ya que los argentinos hemos heredado definitivamente esta costumbre de nuestros antepasados mediterráneos. Por eso, si vemos a un argentino pellizcando sus dedos o gesticulando mucho con sus brazos es, muy probablemente, un síntoma de su herencia tana.
