well in today's era of music who is the best? female i think its hands down alicia keys!! she has one of them foces that make you go wow...plus she is beautiful to go along with it!! a close second would be Mary J. and then beyonce Male is hard to say i mean i would put John Legend is up there, maybe carl thomas, some may say Usher or maybe even justin timberlake. I'm a big fan of John legend though because he has that old school style to him that i like.

I can only think of Ryan Shaw as having the best voice. He is simply amazing, imo.
The ladies? Hm??? Maybe MJB. The only problem I have, though, is that I don't listen to much of the contemporary music.

Legend's pretty good but he gets really affected in his delivery. I can only take so much of his voice. Mary J. tends to scream a lot so I don't love her either. She's hardly what one could call a "melodic" singer. Usher's pretty darn good. Justin, too, is really "showbiz" and tries much too hard much of the time. I really like Robin Thicke and Alicia Keys, though I do think Keys sings so hard she may end up losing her voice if she isn't careful. Elliott Yamin also has one heck of a voice. I like the feel of it and he's relentlessly melodic.

I agree stilltempting, Alicia Keys, hands down is the best female singer of today, IMO
Male singer of today? ...thinking... Geez, as much as I hate to admit it for personal issues, but R Kelly would be my choice. I know, with a comment like that I'm living in a glass house. But please folks, don't throw no stones.

I have to agree with Miss Tara. The man sounds the same live as on CD. |

I was sitting here TRYING to think of someone else to say EXCEPT R Kelly, but lets face it, his personal drama has no affect on his ability to SANG!  |

She really can SANG...and it just all comes so naturally... and R. Kelly is my favorite male R & B artist....yea, he might not be the best person morally but his songs get the job done... |

Mary J is my favorite among the females.
Brian McNight is my favorite among the males.
