Read More »Nina Simone Nina Simone had such a distinctive voice during her career, and there's no one else like her. She had a very rich and soulful voice, and enjoyed giving surprise vocal runs and other improvisations that you'd not expect. Beyoncé One of the most powerful voices of modern times, Beyoncé Knowles had a clear talent even back in the early Destiny's Child days, that separated her from similar R&B singers of the era. What's even more impressive is that she can also dance without ever really seeing her voice slip up. Lady Gaga Although she started her career with pop-dance anthems, it was always clear from the start that Lady Gaga possessed an incredible voice. It was even more clear to see in the Oscar-winning A Star is Born that showcased how powerful and rich her voice is. Etta James No-one quite packed a punch like Etta James. She had the ability to play it sweet and soft as in 'At Last', or as a powerful belter like 'I Just Wanna Make Love to You'. She always showed a pure raw energy and emotion in her vocals, and could adapt to whatever song came her way. Julie Andrews Classically-trained Julie Andrews has such a gorgeous tone and clarity to her voice. It's clear that she was a seasoned Broadway and West End performer from a young age. If you want musicals, Julie's your person. Billie Holiday If you want pure emotion, like their entire life story is pouring out of every song they perform, then look no further than Billie Holiday. While she might not have the wide vocal range of other singers, it was her delivery and passion that made her a standout, even 60 years since her death. Gladys Knight Forever effortless, always powerful. Gladys Knight was one of the greatest soul singers of her generation, and if anything her vocal talent has just got better with age. Christina Aguilera Out of all the pop stars that emerged in the 21st century, Christina Aguilera would be hard to beat in the vocal talent stakes. Christina Aguilera shares amazing throwback clip of her singing Etta James aged 7 She has one of the largest ranges - four octaves - and you've got to love the distinctive Christina 'growl'. Shirley Bassey There's a reason Shirley Bassey is the only artist to record three James Bond themes - there's simply no-one quite like her who could command such a powerful, if a bit cheeky, presence. From her days as a young singer of ballads in the 1950s, to still belting out soul anthems today, there's only one Dame Shirley. Annie Lennox Annie Lennox proved that there was room for soul and emotion in the world of electronic pop when she burst onto the scene with Eurythmics. Read more: Queen, David Bowie and Annie Lennox's powerful 'Under Pressure' performance in tribute to Freddie Mercury With each new release, either with her band or as a solo artist, Annie keeps showing how powerful and strong her voice is, whether it's an upbeat pop song or a heartfelt ballad. Tina Turner Tina Turner has one of the most versatile voices in this list. She can command soft ballads or stadium rock anthems in a way that makes her music so appealing to so many.

The fact that she's an amazing actress also translates to the emotion and delivery of her songs, which always sound so effortless and easy to listen to. Karen Carpenter When it comes to underrated singers, we'd argue that Karen Carpenter is overlooked the most. While others up in the top 10 of our list are known for belting out their songs, Karen kept things simple, and let her incredibly smooth and low voice bring all the emotion and feeling required. Ella Fitzgerald The First Lady of Song may not have had the vocal ranges of Mariah or Celine, but she more than made up for that with her incredible tone and diction. Ella's voice was so flawless and silky smooth, that we'd be happy to hear her sing the dictionary for 10 hours. Mariah Carey Soprano Mariah Carey is a rare breed of musical talent. She can sing five - yes, five - octaves, and she almost sounds operatic at times. She also has a smoky and husky quality at times, which only adds to the drama. Celine Dion Celine has always had a great understanding of the powers of her voice, and she's always on top form. Whether it's belting out a power ballad with all the vocal runs and tricks, or keeping things simple with a breathy ballad.
