Snub from the Rolling Stone’s 200 greatest singers list


Ridiculous that she is not on the list.

No one cares what Rolling Stone magazine says.

reply

Looks like some people still care.
Although their lists become absurd more and more everytime.

reply

How ridiculous they are.

reply

I find it funny that not even a single opera singer made the cut.

reply

Not even the most famous one Luciano Pavarotti.

Amateurish.

reply

Yeah, ‘cause Rolling Stone covers opera.

I mean, Tommy and Quadrophenia were both operas, right? How dare they snub Roger Daltry?

reply

Way too many blacks. Bob Dylan! Kurt Cobain! At least no Lizzo.

It's but yet another example of what garbage Rolling Stone has become. They appear to do this shit on purpose just to get the publicity that they get from it which they think might make people buy the magazine more I guess. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

reply

Definitely done on purpose. No one with functioning ears would omit Celine Dion from a greatest singers list.

reply

They will never admit it but I have a feeling they forgot Celine Dion completely and she wasn't even in the preliminary list. It's not make sense otherwise even for them.

reply

And to put Barbra Streisand at #147 instead of the top 5 or 10 is even more Rolling Stone garbage. Nobody takes those assholes seriously anymore. Such a shame they used to be the pinnacle for a long time. Now they're just a fucking laughing stock.

reply

Perhaps, but the fans protesting outside the office are equally ridiculous. Don’t they have anything better to do?

Of course Dion has a powerful voice, but for what it’s worth I wouldn’t include her in my personal Top 200 either. I just don’t find her music pleasing to listen to.

reply

My Heart Will Go On alone deserve her a spot in top 200.
Of course everyone have his own opinion :)

About the fans.. it's strange protest but you know how fans acts, they can be crazy sometimes.

reply

The fans protesting outside the office was orchestrated by a Quebec celebrity named Julie Snyder. She's annoying and an attention-seeker. She probably called for the cameras to be there.

reply

was good thing because I looked at list and it was sad names no one knows and famous singers left off, songs we hear every day

reply

Try that in English.

reply

Interesting list but I don't think Celine Dion has any place on it and personally I don't know what Adele is doing on it either. I do think Crosby, Sinatra and several of their contemporaries deserve a place but I guess it's only so long.
