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.

In questa seconda parte del viaggio nella Napoli esoterica, ci addentriamo in una delle presenze più misteriose e intime della tradizione napoletana: la Bella ’Mbriana.
Non una creatura che infesta i vicoli, ma uno spirito legato alla casa, al focolare, agli equilibri invisibili che tengono in piedi un luogo e chi lo abita.
Tra racconti tramandati, leggende antiche e frammenti di realtà, la Bella ’Mbriana emerge come simbolo di protezione, rispetto e silenziosa osservazione.
Una figura che non si mostra mai apertamente, ma che si manifesta nei dettagli, nelle assenze, nei cambiamenti improvvisi di atmosfera.
Un episodio raccontato interamente in lingua napoletana, dove mito e storia si sfiorano senza mai dichiararsi fino in fondo.


In this second chapter of our journey into Esoteric Naples, we explore one of the most intimate and elusive presences in Neapolitan folklore: La Bella ’Mbriana.
Not a spirit that haunts the streets, but a presence bound to the home, to domestic balance, to the invisible forces that protect a place and those who live within it.
Through ancient legends, oral tradition, and subtle traces of reality, La Bella ’Mbriana appears as a symbol of harmony, respect, and silent guardianship.
She never reveals herself openly. Instead, she lingers in atmospheres, in unspoken rules, in the feeling that a house is truly alive.
An episode told entirely in the Neapolitan language, where myth and history remain deliberately intertwined, never fully explained.
