Of course. There is no one in her generation who possesses a vocal ability of such high level, and there is no one of her generation who possesses the kind of musicianship that she has and infuses into her singing. None. The voice, vocalist and singer of her generation.

Duh!

Right now....? ADELE is. I'm not even a fan.
Beyonce has the skills but her underwhelming SB performance made her far from an entertainer to me.

I agree.

Possibly the biggest reach I've ever seen on ATRL. Congratulations

And Adele? She SINGS fantastically, but to call her the vocalist of a generation? hmmm.

If Christina is the greatest vocalist, why is she always off-key? Why does she always strain? Why is she incapable of stabilizing her voice on simple middle-low notes?

Adele??

Because she gives them "tone".

I guess since she's the best technical vocalist. But for me, I have to go with Florence Welch.

Right, because the natural tone of one's instrument is directly related to its utilization. Am I missing something here?

omg at all these lies. dead @ christina when homegirl be sounding like this


ADELE always lowering notes when doing them live I see right through her antics.

have never sat through an entire Kelly performance w/o zoning out/switching channel so I can't say.

THEY are, which is why they think "tone"> or =ability. Don't be surprised if they say "pianists are better than saxophonists because the piano sounds better".

she may not be as loud & overbearing as some of her peers but her technique is far better than anyone from this generation

Absolutely. at anyone saying Adele. Would someone who is the vocalist of this generation need to have surgery because of their technique? Christina's singing sounds like rubbing to sheets of sandpaper together, dry. Her tone is only pleasant mid range to me. Kelly and pink are good vocalists as well but are not better vocalists. Beyonce has a lot of haters so of course many will pull out the entertainer card to downplay her as a vocalist.

This question is cute.

The real vocalist of our generation has the confidence to sing live for the President and millions of viewers rather than mouth along to a pre-recorded track. She also isn't intimidated by the cold weather.

Let us praise Kelly Clarkson. The one who displayed her incredible vocal skill on the Grammy's and had others in her own industry calling her the greatest singer on the planet. The one who some said even out-sang Aretha twice in one month.

Bey is great, don't get me wrong. But she doesn't hold a candle to Kelly and I wouldn't even put her in the top 3.

Y'all look up on Sunday at tjhe Oscar's 3 generation of great singers.

Beyonce is tremendously better than Florence vocally.
