So this is kind of off topic( hence the Off Topic Category was born) but my favorite singers are Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, P!nk, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Demi Lovato, Jessie J , Ariana grande,and Carrie Underwood. I love Kelly Clarkson the most because her voice is just flawless to me 
She puts emotion to what she sings. Her range is crazy!!!! You guys/gals need to check out her fan request covers, she is superb. Adam Lambert might be the only guy ( Besides Ken of course ) to really inspire to sing. He gives such a performance when he sings. He is like a siren, his voice goes from theatrical (which is totally me) to soft gentle and soothing. P!nk just speaks to my soul and can make me rock out or cry within a lyric. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are just gifts from God. They can sing anything . Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande both have very beautiful voices. There songs are fun and entertaining. They are one of the few new generation singers that actually sing really well. Carrie Underwood. Amazing Country voice that is powerful. Jessie J is just pure awesomeness:)
Well yeah these are my favorite singers, what are y'alls favorite singers

Yes. Very nice examples.
A post like this reminds me why we are all here... Because of the emotive power of the singing voice.
There are a lot of great vocal performances here. I particularly liked Ariana's wardrobe-studio.
Thanks for pointing us this way.
Who else has some favorite vocalist examples to share?

@MichaelS
Did you catch Beth Hart checking her voice by doing a quick little high-pitched lip burble slide to herself after exhaling that drag off of a cigarette during the intro to Long Time Comin'? Then she hollers over to the on-stage monitor mix soundman "Give me some REVERB!!!!" :^)
Katherine Jenkins... What vocal textures!
Taja Turunen seems like a good fit for @TheVikingMaiden I could see her singing in this band!
Mercy on Me... an Emotional Explosion!

Most of my favorite singers need no description. Chris Cornell, Robert Plant and above all Jeff Buckley.
If we are being slightly more off beat, I absolutely love Jay Buchanan as well. I'm stunned by how gorgeous his tone is whilst still applying that monstrous power.
Yes, @ragnar,
It seems that every song Eva touched, she put her own loving mark on it.
My headphones just about flew off my head when Jay got to the chorus! Reminds me a little of Allen Stone, range-wise.

@ ragnar,
Thanks for introducing Jay Buchanan ! Chris Cornell, Robert Plant and above all Jeff Buckley need no introduction, but I have not heard of Jay before.
