Nelly Furtardo is listed over Shakira? Ok, Shakira might not have quite the same style as Beyonce and Aguilera, but she's got her own uniqueness and a mesmerising voice. Oh wait, this must be out of North American singers specifically.

Kelly did such a great job on this, but other lives, especially when she's doing "When Love Takes Over" (which I think is the best song of David Guetta), she always seems to shake

[donellcarey]

All in all Beyonce has the most beautiful and STABLE voice in the list.

Others are good singers as well but Beyonce never disappoints, and yet she dances a hell lot too.

Oh I forgot about her completely...I hate her so I must have subconciously blocked her out
Theres the Other option anyway

And FYI Nelly is way better than Shakira

Each to his own

[le bon vivant]

Brandy is not in Beyonce's generation. But if you want to include her, you must include Monica as well.

Christina is my favorite voice on this list, the most talented IMO. Beyonce is right behind her though, and far more consistent.
Kelly R. and Britney don't even deserve a mention on this list.

Other: Clarkson, Kelly (b. 1982)

[Gdsimmons]

Kelly Clarkson is pretty talented as well. Pink too. Pink is so underrated!

[pokey camp]

The framing of this question is ridiculous and the options aren't much better.

I don't like Beyonce's voice tbh. There's something she does with her melisma that irritates my ear. She goes flat during her runs far too often.

Picked Christina, but now that I think about it... note for note it's probably really Carrie Underwood ('83 is close enough). She's got the widest range, clarity, stability and power, but doesn't get love for her vocals because of her genre.

[Nicolás89]

Thank god you didn't include Jessica Simpson on this. I voted for Christina but I'm biased.

[DemWilliamsGulls]

I picked other...because Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson will sing circles around Beyonce and everyone else on this list....PINK and Nelly Furtado?!? Are you kidding lol I DO like Brandy though she has a beautiful voice. my vote would go to Fantasia...I do like Beyonce though but its other girls who have raw talent and can outsing her.

Y'all kill me EVERY TIME
So predictable and yet so unaware

[The Dawntreader]

Christina at her best was a better singer than Beyonce. Her range, use of dynamics, vocal colourings were far superior.

But she has ruined her voice by a not revising her technique, tacky self-indulgent embellishments and practically over-singing everything.

Beyonce is just a mezzo with a wide range. But it's nothing that Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin wern't doing better years earlier.

[Sammo]

I don't care but my favourite is Kelly Rowland Even if she's less talented than Beyonce she's way less trashy.

You did the right thing. Shagoatra was born a year before the timeframe you specified. Plus her lyrics are atrocious.
