Whitney was the first female artist that I heard with such a powerful voice and catchy songs. No one else like Whitney! Her career has been award winning and impactful to many.

Mariah Carey doesn't need any introduction, her vocals changed the music game, this chart topper is a living legend still belting hits today.

Next to Mariah Carey there is no other female artist from the 90's that could slay, like French Canadian Celine Dion. With hit songs like Power of Love, she won the hearts of many world wide.

Freddie is another legend no one, has been able to compare to. The Queen front man wrote and sang the most notable music, more widely known, than the Beatles.

This was a hard place to give, number seven is the only one who could have taken this spot other than Aretha. She is the irrefutable Queen of soul with hits like Respect, no one has come up with anything remotely close to that song.

Before Aretha, there was Etta, I could hear her soul in her voice when she sang. She always gives me goosebumps when hearing her music. Etta was A favourite in my past life too.

Since her debut Genie in a Bottle, Christina was an unstoppable force in the early 2000's. She has had some great success and her vocals are what put her at this spot on my list.

For the younger Millennials, Ariana is a combination of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. She has made waves since her Disney days. Her vocals alone got her at this spot, as with number 8.

This place was harder to determine than number one! Chester's vocals were what changed my views on Nu metal.  His band Linkin Park are early 2000's cultural rock icons. The first band to successfully incorporate Rapping with heavier  yet melodic vocals.
