Celine Dion Trends After 'Rolling Stone' Leaves Her Off of '200 Greatest Singers of All Time' List
Rolling Stone revealed their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time, and backlash is already ensuing after fans noticed that Celine Dion was not even featured, despite having an unbelievable singing voice and a lauded, international career as a best selling singer.
The magazine established early on in the piece that the list might not feature the greatest “vocalists,” writing, “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.”
Some notable inclusions on the list include Billie Eilish at #198, Kelly Clarkson at #194, BTS’ Jung Kook at #191, Ozzy Osbourne at #112, Taylor Swift at #102, Michael Jackson at #86, Adele at #22, Beyonce at #8, Mariah Carey at #4, Whitney Houston at #2 and Aretha Franklin in the number 1 spot.
Once it was discovered that Celine Dion was not on the list, fans immediately began demanding answers on Twitter. Other blatant omissions as cited by fans include Cher, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Luther Vandross, Jennifer Hudson, and so many other talented artists.

Let’s be real who is ever taking @RollingStone seriously ever again? Y’all didn’t even include CELINE DION on the top 200 list of best singers of all time?? I don’t even think JHud was on there either.

We, the People demand a retraction of that heinous @RollingStone list of 200 greatest singers of all time until such time that it is reconfigured to include Celine Dion- a top 5 vocalist. Apologize to Celine as well. How dare you!

This Rolling Stone list is ABSOLUTE TRASH! MJ should be top 10, Celine Dion too!

No Celine Dion? No Alanis Morissette? Such a disgrace to Canadian singers.. 😔😔

Disrespected MJ with a low ranking Amongst others, the list excluded Celine Dion and Bruno Mars and even suggested that The Weeknd is a better singer than Usher Raymond. The list needs to be re-done/re-arranged period!!

Celine‘s fans rallying around her over this list comes just a few weeks after she shared a devastating health diagnosis.
