  Stevie Nicks
• Ironman92

  

  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.
