Who are the truly great singers nowadays?

Oasis albums
pachl@sbcglobal.net asked:

I don’t want to hear Beyonce, Mariah, or Whitney. Whitney doesn’t have the warmth that her cousin Dione Warwick has. Mariah is just nuts, and Beyonce is too….. forgettable, like Whitney.

All the music I hear now is contrived and slick, except for Pink, she’s just packaged….. but really good!

Aren’t there any more great singers, who actually meant what they sang? Songs that made you cry because they were so heartfelt? Here’s my favorite singers. Can you add to the list?

Karen Carpenter
Dione Warwick
Roberta Flack (Oasis album !!!)
Helen Reddy (Center Stage album)
Cher
Grace Slick

John Denver
Chris Rea
Elton John
Geddy Lee (from RUSH)
Tony Bennett (If I Ruled The World….)
Dennis DeYoung (Styx)
Barry Manilow (2am Paradise Cafe)

    Joanna Newsom – Emily
    Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan – Revolver
    Connor Oberst – First Day Of My Life
    True proof that you don’t need a fantastic voice to convey emotion.

    Right now I am listening to Joss Stone, Robin Thicke, and Amy Winehouse…all three are great vocalists in my eyes.
