Each of these divas has defined a generation of music. At one point in their careers each was on top of the world. I would like to know who everyone thinks has the most powerful voice in pop history. I personally think Celine Dion.

none.

From the list, Christina.

ANGELA GOSSOW!!

out of those i would say whitney houston before she went mental

but sarah mclaughlan and eva cassidy would school any of them

Of those I'd say Christina, possibly Whitney.

whitney houston has a great voice but...has other problems.

still, aretha franklin is the queen of singers

Christina is all "WOAH!" and "YEAH!" and "Ahoh-oh-oh-OH-OH!". Totally overrated. Whitney Houston's smooth, Aretha Franklin was mellow, but Celine Dion is where it's at, vocally. "Power of Love" is a perfect example.

Sarah Maclachlan, I agree. Tori Amos too. From the list, hmm difficult. Christina?

no she wasn't! have you heard aretha franklin sing?

I think Christina out of those...Celine a close second.

Thats a lame list without Aretha. From those i'd pick Whitney cause i cant stand the others.

none of the above....ever heard of Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield or Joan Baez? THEY defined generations of music...

personally, i think the ones that were put into option here couldn't even take on Alanis Morrisette or Tracy Chapman..

whitney houston has a very, very good voice, just listen to her rendition of the star spangled banner during Desert Storm

I doubt anyone in the poll would have trouble against Alanis Morrisette.

is it just me or does Wayne just pop up every now and then and just post threads that are "celine dion is my hero, shes so cool, celines a genreation defining singer, marry me celine" then dissapear for a while, only to pop back up and do it again a little while later?

NICO,WITH OUT A DOUBT IN MY MIND

I cannot Stand Janis Joplins voice....but thats just me.

uh...if i HAD to pick it would be christina...but amy lee should be on that poll

She's not as good a singer as any of those on the list.

-AC

celine dion.

Christina....










Scabbia

Aguilera's voice is much more powerful than Scabbia's.

and Franklin's is more than Christina's

Is she on the list though? There's no excuse for ignorance, we know Aretha is. We're abiding by the list.

Not on the list though. At least if naming someone outside the list, name someone more powerful, was the point.

The reason Aretha Franklin isn't on there is because she is a soul singer not pop

None.

Sinead O'Connor, Tori Amos, Janis Joplin.

Run for cover!

Please...most powerful voice...definitely no pop-singer. Listen to Maria Callas, no that's powerful!

Tarja > all on that poll

Actually astounding the way people simply cannot adhere to threads.

Just to clarify u can choose people who aren't on the list

have you heard her version of run to you originally by whitney? it was awesome!!! god, she sang it live!!! mariah shouldn't be included in the poll. she doesnt belong to that category. she can hit high notes up to whistle register, but her voice is not powerful enough.

I don't think any of the names listed really have a "powerful" voice. Sarah Mclaughlan was mentioned, and although I think she has a beautiful voice, I would not consider her powerful either.

For controlled power, Aretha was mentioned and is hard to top.

For uncontrolled, raw power, I'd nominate Johnette Napolitano.

My pick: Sinead O'Connor
From the list: Whitney Houston

Karen O

Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks

Of the list, probably Christina....and that's iffy.

But Aretha didn't make the cut?

Mariah whines and squeals.......... she may be young, but she's past her bloody use by date.

The lady from The Staples Singers

Hands down, Christina. You can listen to her free on napsterlinks.

napsterlinks..... She has got a powerful voice, but sometimes she doesnt use it very well... meh.

Celine for sure.

none 4 me.
It's AMY LEE with her angelic vocals that inspires me.I LOV AMY LEE!!!
