I cant believe no one has mentioned Janis Joplin.

Stevie Nicks

Pre crack Whitney, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Martina McBride

Ann Wilson is up there as well.

Whitney was the smoothest (Greatest Love of All, All at Once) with a booming voice and great range

Mariah Carey..........her range is completely untouchable, smooth and powerful....no one can really do her songs but her

Celine Dion......very smooth, very powerful.....classy power

Martina....good God...I saw her in Vets Memorial and basically just had goosebumps for and 1 hr and half.....I swear she held a powerful notefor 30+ seconds.....and did it on about 5 consecutive songs.....the end of "Whatever You Say" is just about ridiculous.....people usually think "Broken Wing"...but it's not her best.

Another vote for Alison Krauss

Pat Benatar
Stevie Nicks

and my little guilty pleasure - Olivia Newton John (Gawd I love that woman)

Oh yeah, one more that is kind of an acquired taste: Bonnie Tyler

Going old school, if you wanted some great belly rubbing music - Claudine Longet

Also..........Karen Carpenter, Barbara Streisand.

For Upper90:
