100 | Mary J. Blige
This list were made out of the hundreds of ballots signed by various artists like Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Bono and the many working people in the music industry.
I was so surprised and delighted that Christina was the only singer form the current generation that made it to the list. She even outranked Mariah. I would have loved to see Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse, but I'm happy that Christina ain't sharing the spotlight with anyone. She truly is the voice of this generation.
And Aretha Franklin deserves this honor, hands down. I've listened to some of her songs and the girl sings from the heart like it's no others' business.
But where is Barbra Streisand? Are you effin kidding me? She deserves to be on the top 10, but to not have her even at the top 50 is tavestry. Not having her on this list, which is the case, is virtually impossible. And why is Karen Carpenter is only at #94? She isn't that good really, but the mere fact that she died from Anorexia on an early age and managed to touch the world even now is enough reason to have her on the top 50 at the least. And I'm not so sure why Whitney is only at #38. And how did Bjork made it to the list?
Anways I'm happy mostly with the result.
XOXO

P.S.
People were looking for Celine???? I totally agree that she doesn't deserve a spot.
