Rolling Stone's new list of the 200 greatest singers of all time is out and includes vocal icons such as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Sam Cooke and Billie Holiday.
Rolling Stone did preface the list by stating:
"Before you start scrolling (and commenting), keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List."
"Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent."
"Sure, many of the people here were born with massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range. Others have rougher, stranger, or more delicate instruments."
They finished:
"In all cases, what mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artist's catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy."
"A voice can be gorgeous like Mariah Carey's, rugged like Toots Hibbert's, understated like Willie Nelson's, slippery and sumptuous like D'Angelo's, or bracing like Bob Dylan's."
"But in the end, the singers behind it are here for one reason: They can remake the world just by opening their mouths."
Fans of five-time Grammy winner Celine Dion—who was not on the list—were outraged and took to Twitter to let it be known.
\u201cCeline Dion should be on this list. Full stop.\u201d— jann arden (@jann arden) 1672632834
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen an entire list get invalidated on one omission so quickly in my life.\u201d— Robert Daniels (@Robert Daniels) 1672614109
\u201cRespectfully, not including Celine Dion, arguably the best vocal technician of all time, in this list is borderline treasonous\u201d— Jamie Lambert (@Jamie Lambert) 1672637165
\u201cDear @RollingStone. This is C\u00e9line Dion. \n\nLeaving her off your Top 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list has to be an honest and regrettable mistake\u2026 because doing it intentionally would be criminal. \n\nSo\u2026 please fix it.\u201d— Bonnie Bernstein (@Bonnie Bernstein) 1672627066
\u201c@PopBase Imagine not putting the greatest singer of all time in your top 200\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1672594887
\u201cCeline Dion was excluded from Rolling Stones' 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. The disrespect. \ud83d\ude21\u201d— br0s (@br0s) 1672805445
\u201cCeline Dion was not included on Rolling Stone\u2019s list of the greatest singers of all time. Taylor Swift was.\u201d— chris evans (@chris evans) 1672610420
\u201cCeline Dion trending after Rolling Stone disrespected this voice? Her legendary vocals will outlast your silly magazine. \n\nhttps://t.co/1vfTtuEgoY\u201d— celine vocals (@celine vocals) 1672693542
\u201cRihanna should not even be on that Rolling Stones list of Greatest Singers. But for her to also be ahead of Michael Jackson, Usher, Anita Baker, and Patti Labelle\u2026 then Celine Dion is not even on the list? I would like criminal charges brought against the entire company.\u201d— Childless Gambino (@Childless Gambino) 1672641141
\u201cThis better be a joke cuz wtf is this\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— victor\ud83e\udd84 (@victor\ud83e\udd84) 1672599450
\u201crolling stones and celine dion must have beef because I still don\u2019t understand\u201d— exo\u2019s 10th member \ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3 (@exo\u2019s 10th member \ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3) 1672676804
\u201cLord, please forgive the Rolling Stones . They apparently don't know what they're doing. #CelineDion #JusticeForCelineDion @celinedion\u201d— Valerie Sofia Altamira (@Valerie Sofia Altamira) 1672713277
\u201cCeline Dion absolutely not included in The Rolling Stones list just makes it absolutely irrelevant and a joke at this point. Celine is one of best singers the world has ever witnessed!. This is disrespect beyond!!!!.\u201d— TheeXtinaBoy (@TheeXtinaBoy) 1672684832
Dion recently shared on Instagram she rescheduled her upcoming spring shows to 2024 and canceled eight of her summer shows as she deals with health problems.
Dion was diagnosed with rare progressive neurological disorder Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) which affects muscles and heightens sensitivity to noise, touch, and emotional distress.
Along with her Grammys, The Power of Love singer has 12 World Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, six American Music Awards and many many others.
We'd say her fans have every right to be up in arms.
