Does anyone else think it is so tragic about what happened to Julie Andrew`s voice? I want to cry when I think about her not being able to sing. I sing and I couldn`t imagine myself being unable too.

The best singer i have ever heard is Andrea Bocelli

<3 Andrea Bocelli.

I almost cried when I found out what happened to Juile Andrew's voice. She was so talented, that had to have severely sucked for her.

1 karen carpenter
2 michael jackson(specially during the jackson5 days)
3 paul Mccartney
4 david gates
5 Rey Valera
6 Olivia Newton John
7 Andrea Corr
8 Josh Groban
9 boyzIImen
10 Phil Collins

In no particular order:

Miriam Makeba
Joni Mitchell
Sarah Brightman
Nina Simone
Freddie Mercury
Frank Sinatra
Louis Armstrong
Diana Krall
Johnny Mathis
Seal
Rory Rootenberg (Phantom for South Africa, heard Crawford as Phantom before but Rootenberg has a superior richness, yet still sings gently and with incredible natural flow)

I don't have a top 10, but I think that Delta Goodrem is the best singer I've ever heard. She sings like an angel.
