Seriously. History is full of incredible singers in every genre from Opera to R&B. Who do you think is the best and/or who are you favorites. Name, them and post examples. I think a good singer transcends genre. If you're a great singer, I will listen to you no matter what you sing.
A few of my favorites:
Maynard
Ray Lamontagne
P!nk
My vote for the best:
Adam Lambert - he is arguably the greatest singer alive today

Good picks! Maynard is awesome, and I also think P!ink is a good singer. I've heard Ray Lamontagne before, but the other night, I was riding with my brother in his car and he had his new CD in the player, and I was really blown away by how good he is. I'm gonna have to borrow that one.
There is one person who was on American Idol who simply blew me away. Like, this guy started singing a song I hadn't heard before, and I stopped everything I was doing to watch. Unfortunately, that performance was taken off YouTube, so this will have to suffice:
After hearing Gavin DeGraw's version, I have to say, I think Bo Bice completely owned the song. Still the best "Idol" performance I've ever seen.
Axl Rose (since everyone usually posts AfD songs, I'll pick the best song off the red-headed stepchild, "Chinese Democracy"):
Eddie Vedder:
Geoff Tate:
Aloe Blacc:

Too much media for one post!
Anthony Kedis (Again, a less popular, but awesome song by RCHP):
Les Claypool:

Just saw Glambert live with Queen earlier this month (2nd row) and he was truly excellent.
Are we talking best singer ever or best singer alive?

Simple.
Male-Frank Sinatra or Johnny Cash
Female-Nina Simone or Billie Holiday
That being said my personal favorite's are Gladys Knight and Curtis Mayfield. With Roberta Flack and Otis Redding being a close 2nd.
