My choices:

Alicia Keys... I just love her voice!

Christina Aguilera (at Etta James funeral):

Aretha:

I love Billie and Ella, but they're not alive alas. I would also add Amy Winehouse, but she was taken before her time and is no longer with us. Same goes for Whitney, a young Frank Sinatra and also, Freddie Mercury (although I could just be swayed by his staggering charisma).

Who are the most talented singers alive today? Oh and btw, you're not allowed to say Mariah Carey or Celine Dion. Sorry, but I'm dead serious. And if you're going to say Madonna, I mean come on. Let's just put Britney Spears on the list while we're at it then.
