An #Aquarius builds their own roads instead of following others. They have no desire to make an impression because they do that naturally.

Well, I clicked on the link and don't see the list of the 17 singers - just a place to comment. What am I doing wrong??

I mostly agree with the list of great singers but only one stands out and definitely as raw as they come, no need at all for auto-tune. That is Adam. Taylor Swift has a rather sensual unique voice, not listed here; I like the way she projects certain notes with extra force to highlight them to contrast the softer notes. She did really well at the latest Grammy show, where she just played the piano and her passion was in synch with her voice. I'd be thrilled if Adam sings Memories/Cats. That song touches deep nostalgically. Perhaps on Glee... :)

I tried two different browsers and don't see anything but the title and comments. Weird.

Auto-tune and Adam Lambert should never be mentioned in the same sentence! He is one of the best vocal talents in music and has an amazing stage presence. Most pop stars today are more style than substance and will be long gone from the music scene while Adam will have the longevity that he so deserves.

YES, YES, YES!

Adam, Christina, Rihanna, Gaga ... Stellar. Unbeatable!

8:20, what was the point of the copy/paste? Am I missing something at the link?

Justin Bieber doesn't have any voice! Why did they include him in this list?

They do have some other great singers on the list like Kelly Clarkson and Jessie J and Pink.

Agree with most of the list.
But pull out Bieber, Rihanna and Miley.
I'm sure they use auto tune in recording.
Now, a commenter says there's now auto tune in live singing and Beyonce is the Queen of this. said another poster.
I she's a powerhouse but could be true.

Well written and fully agree!

@9:45 thanks! I also had trouble viewing the list also.

The list is created by someone belonging to the BuzzFeed community, so basicly anyone can do it. Just a list by someone.

Don't know if the order means anything else except this person's own likings... To put Ariana Grande (who?!) as #1 and Adam as#14....

Here are all the names on that "list", for those who can't see them:
1. Ariana Grande
2. Beyonce
3. Ed Sheeran
4. Lady Gaga
5. Lea Michele
6. Kelly Clarkson
7. Bruno Mars
8. Demi Lovato
9. Jessie J
10. Miley Cyrus
11. Justin Biebe
12. Carrie Underwood
13. Pink
14. ADAM LAMBERT
15. Christina Aguilera
16. Rihanna
17. Alicia Keys

@12.13am
even Adam has used some auto tuning in recordings...the list is for artists that don't NEED auto tune (in their minds) , not ones that don't use it....

I got the link from the AO site. Worked fine. I think the list is pretty good. I like a few of them for than others, of course, but that's just opinion.

Autotune is not just used to fix up an inferior voice. It's used for style and sound and to enhance a song in some way. Adam certainly doesn't "need" it to make his voice better, but he has used it to give a song a certain sound. Sure, some singers need it because their voices just aren't very good. But it has its place sometimes, even for good singers.

They left off Adele. Bieber and Miley definitely need autotune.

Ariana Grande is great! Adele is an oversight I suppose, but I love the list otherwise! (Well, I would take Bieber off, but he has {had maybe?} a certain something too, as far as pop vocals anyway). Tangent: I personally LOVE Miley's voice, it may not be for everyone, but I dig it a lot, and she has a musicality that's undeniable and she definitely doesn't NEED autotune. But anyway, great list imho.

My problem with the list is that most of these people are not even in Adam's league. Adam should have at least been at the top of this list.................nancdruuu2

So much negativity. It's great Adam made it on some arbitrary list with so many huge well respected stars. And there isn't anybody in the comments saying Adam shouldn't be on the list like they are for other stars. Look at the good parts of all that.

It's a random list on community Buzzfeed, that's what they do, random lists. The writer added a disclaimer proving how arbitrary her thinking is. I'm still glad Adam made her list.
DISCLAIMER: obviously, not every singer could be put on this list and obviously, there are more talented singers in Hollywood. Some people, like Adele, did not make the list because they don’t use autotune/have already proven their ability time and time again. And again, and the main reason not everyone’s favorites are on here, there is NO way I can put every vocalist into one list; it would be way too long.

Miley Cyrus sounds more country than pop in her live TV or video performances. She acts pop/rock on stage but she sounds a lot country. Her recording tracks though sounds pop/rock radio friendly.
