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.

高校生時代の部活動

高校生の頃は、軽音楽（けいおんがく）部に所属した。元々（もともと）ピアノを習っていたが、新しい楽器（がっき）を弾（ひ）けるようになりたかったので、重低音（じゅうていおん）がかっこいいベースギターを選んだ。放課後の部活が楽しくて、当時は部活のためだけに学校に通っていたと言っても過言（かごん）ではない。文化祭（ぶんかさい）や地域（ちいき）のイベントなどで練習した楽曲（がっきょく）を披露（ひろう）したり、大会などにも参加したりした。人前（ひとまえ）で演奏（えんそう）する楽しさや、部員と切磋琢磨（せっさたくま）し合った日々は今も心に残っている。
