o But noticeably absent was Celine Dion!
o Fans shared their disbelief that the singer was not included, going to social media with comments like “They better change the name of that list to ‘Ranking The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time After The Great Céline Dion” and “You can’t have a greatest singers list without Céline Dion. She’s one of the greatest vocalists of our generation.”
o Rolling Stone tweeted “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.”
