Let's Meet! Who am I? 

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.

郑钦文：有点得意，就是我很少有得意的心情，但是这次拿到奥运会冠军，虽然说不想承认，这不太符合中国人谦虚的气质，但是内心真的有点得意，也有点骄傲，也有点无与伦比的开心。因为我是一个不太喜欢把表情表现到脸上的人，但大家可以看到这次奥运会其实我真的很多的情绪都外露了，包括我在赢下科贝尔那一场，不知道为什么就哭了。（然后呢）也包括那么多场倒地的瞬间，都足以证明了我对奥运会的热爱。（我）觉得这个金牌对我来说意味着一切。
记者：你觉得奥运会的金牌会是你一生当中最重要的金牌吗？
郑钦文：我觉得肯定是的，因为这不是我个人的，这是我为国家的荣誉而战，甚至我打破了历史，成为中国网球第一个拿到单打金牌的人，这是我小时候一直的梦想。然后我知道这一直以来是我爸的梦想，（然后）他从小就激励着我，（然后）终于可以骄傲自豪地跟他说：“老爸我这次终于光宗耀祖了一回，你终于可以好好地炫耀了。希望以后我打不好的时候，不要给我那么大压力，因为这块金牌代表着一切。”

In our first ever episode we explore the question of how language influences thought. But does it? How do we know that? In this short cut-out you'll have Guillaume Thierry introduce you to the two main schools of thought when it comes to testing whether the language you speak has an impact on the way you think.

Episode 1: Can we test if language influences the way we think?

💬 Some people say, "Good things should be shared." But shouldn’t we first ask: Good for whom? 🤷
