Idk but I think this snub on Celine could be the final nail on the RS coffin. Doubtful that there can be anyone left that takes them seriously after this.

Their reason about the difference between singer and vocalist…. What is a singer? Isn’t Céline Dion a singer? Vocalist is a singer that sings in a group basically it’s a singer. Same same.

When you have a big voice, it doesn't mean you are great singer. Best example is C. Aguilera. She has a big voice, but her singing technique is horrible. She can't control her voice. But Celine has both. A big voice and a great singing technique/voice control.

 

Watch the ABM performance on the Taratata Show. It's amazing❤️.

Yet Xtina is there at 141.... While she hasn't had a hit since 2013. This list is soooo random and biased. What a fecking joke!

 

141 Christina Aguilera

 

Boasting the biggest voice of the Y2K teen-idol crop, Christina Aguilera was as much a soul powerhouse as she was a TRL staple early in her career, with songs like “What a Girl Wants” and her posse-cut cover of “Lady Marmalade” making room for her jazz-inspired vocal runs. But when she recorded “Beautiful,” the self-esteem-boosting ballad from her 2002 album, Stripped, she leveled up; the take used on the final version was intended to be just a demo, but the raw emotional power she unleashed made it final-cut worthy. Since then, Aguilera has flaunted the versatility of her voice, with songs like the delicate ballad “Say Something” showing how her restrained moments can be just as powerful as the songs she belts. —M.J.

I’m sure RS expected some attention on this but not this much attention and complete ridicule of their credibility. They misread the room.

And to think, the blurbs here are waaaaay better written than the blurbs on the list. Haha....

[LukeD]

Celine hits all the criteria RS outlined and then some...

 

1. Amazing Voice.

2. Excellent Singing Technique.

3. 27 Studio Albums in both English and French.

4. Over 250.000.000 records sold.

5. Professionalism and consistency.

6. Strong stage presence and showmanship.

7. Influence on singers.

8. Revitalised the entertainment scene in Vegas.

9. Pioneered modern residencies.

10. Introduced francophone music to non-francophone markets.

11. Contribution to movie soundtracks.

12. Released timeless songs that are already perceived classics (e.g. Beauty and the beast, The Power Of Love, It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Because You Loved Me, All By Myself, My Heart Will Go On, Think Twice, To Love You More, Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore, S'il Suffisait D'aimer).

 

Come to think of it, she is in a league of her own.

Calm down, Céline Dion fans. Rolling Stone’s ‘200 Greatest Singers of All Time’ is not a list — it’s trolling

 

All lists are disputable. And Rolling Stone has figured out what politicians already know: creating a brouhaha is a great way to stay relevant.

 

By Vinay Menon Entertainment Columnist

Tue., Jan. 3, 2023

 

Music lists are like snowflakes and fingerprints.

 

If you asked everyone on the planet to rank their “200 Greatest Singers of All Time,” no two lists would be the same. Music is subjective. We like what we like. If an old Zeppelin banger enters a random shuffle, I’ll turn it up. My wife is more inclined to cover her ears. Jimmy Page might as well be soloing on a dental drill.

 

To my wife, Led Zeppelin is nothing but grating noise.

 

So I’m not sure why Rolling Stone remains hell-bent on playing the role of cultural arbiter when it comes to music rankings. But to kick off 2023 — Happy New Year! — the magazine updated its “200 Greatest Singers of All Time.” And now people are overreacting by treating this wildly subjective list as if it’s gospel.

 

Most of the headlines this week were about who is not on the list.

 

Céline Dion fans are apoplectic their chanteuse was snubbed.

 

I have great admiration for what Ms. Dion has accomplished in her storied career. My thoughts and prayers are with her as she deals with newly disclosed health issues. But, honestly, if I had to choose between listening to one of her albums or sitting in a middle seat between a crying baby and a baboon blowing into a vuvuzela on a long-haul flight, I’d take the Air Miles and the migraine.

 

Dion has a powerful voice, no question. But as soon as she screeches up the octaves and holds a high-C for all eternity, my heart can’t go on. I feel a powerful urge to pour rubber cement into my cochlear just to stop the sonic torture.

 

That said, you can understand why Dion’s fans might storm Rolling Stone headquarters like Jan. 6 insurrectionists. She gets the rude brush-off, but there’s room for Ozzy Osbourne, who sounds like his larynx is pocked with gravel?

 

Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artists of his generation. But as a “singer,” man alive, he sounds like a broken ambulance siren. Rolling Stone found a perch for Marc Anthony but not Bruno Mars? Poly Styrene gets a shout-out, but crickets for Nat King Cole or Dionne Warwick? SZA gets a nod as Madonna is MIA?

 

Yes, music is subjective. But some of this is objectively odd. Jennifer Hudson and John Legend belong to a small and rarefied club of EGOT winners. That was not good enough for Rolling Stone, which prefers Glenn Danzig or Burna Boy. Many of the names on the Top 200 sound wilfully obscure, the result of brainstorming by bearded 40-somethings who work at a used record store.

 

The notable omissions run from ABBA to Zappa. How am I supposed to take a list seriously when it puts Mariah Carey at No. 5 but completely shuns Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, Sting, Janet Jackson, Billy Joel, James Mercer, John Denver, Luciano Pavarotti, George Harrison, Billy Corgan, Lionel Richie, Moby, Tom Petty …

 

And don’t get me started on the CanCon disses. If Rolling Stone has angered Dion’s fans, just wait until the Beliebers find out Justin didn’t make the cut. I’m assuming Drake’s fans don’t care either way because they know he is not a singer so much as a forlorn mumbler. Still, how could Rolling Stone overlook so many other Canadians, including Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Michael Bublé, Anne Murray, Sarah McLachlan, Grimes, Feist, Robbie Robertson, Alanis Morissette, Jeff Healey, Tom Cochrane, Avril Lavigne, Paul Anka, Geddy Lee, k.d. lang and Gord Downie?

 

I might storm Rolling Stone headquarters to seek vengeance for its unforgivable sin of overlooking of Mr. Gordon Lightfoot. The man is a national treasure and certainly more worthy of the Top 200 than, say, Carrie Underwood or El DeBarge.

 

Or maybe this overheated debate is exactly what Rolling Stone wants.

 

I didn’t see a single story this week about how Aretha Franklin is the magazine’s pick for Greatest Singer of All Time. That’s because everyone was too busy feuding over the snubs. Rolling Stone first published its list of “100 Greatest Singers” in 2008. Since then, it has doubled in size and quadrupled in controversy as music lovers now wonder how on earth IU outranks Joan Baez.

 

Next year, watch for Rebecca Black to claim John Lennon’s spot.

 

All lists are disputable. I disagree with most of what’s on my wife’s grocery list every weekend. Sweetheart, I refuse to eat parsnips or listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Not happening. But what Rolling Stone continues to do, quite masterfully, is create annual buzz by hastily tweaking its list of “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” in a way that will only trigger new arguments.

 

This isn’t about music. It’s about a cappella disagreement.

 

I have spent more time thinking about Céline Dion this week than I have in my entire life. Why is Paul Westerberg on the list while Gary Brooker is not? Why did Freddie Mercury not make the Top 10? Why is Christina Aguilera ahead of Barbra Streisand and, come to think of it, where is Bette Midler?

 

Rolling Stone has figured out what politicians already know: creating a brouhaha is a great way to stay relevant. The magazine is no longer making lists — it is trolling.

 

And we keep taking the bait.

7. Influence on singers.

 

 

Literally, a handful of singers who made it into the RS list are in this video, all categorically identifying Celine either as their idol or as an influence at one point in their life/career, so..... RS implying that Celine lacks breadth of influence is really a crime against humanity as one tweet put it:

Thanks for reminding us of that! Damn, I wish she was able to be there in person. Stupid COVID

[sarit_celine]

This "list" by RS is highly political and biased. No one should be playing their nasty game.

 

Celine doesn't need no one approvals, the numbers and achievements during the years talk louder

and will talk for the rest of history.

 

I bet she is laughing at this.

I think so too. She’s laughing at this. And I’m visualizing it

I went on FB this morning, I scrolled down and I still see lots of articles about Celine and that list of singers!! Same for Twitter... Being excluded from that list is the best thing that could happen to her in 2023!! So many people have said they are not fans but they don't understand why she's not on that list!! Unvelievable !
