    My top 2:

    1. Adele
    2. Sia

    I get chills whenever Sia hits the note at 4:15 on Alive:

    holy s--- -- i just learned that 'Alive' was co-written by Sia & Adele and that it was originally meant for Adele's 25 album. Wiki:

    It was co-written by Sia, Adele, and Tobias Jesso Jr.[4] The song was produced by Jesse Shatkin. "Alive" was released on 25 September 2015. The song was originally intended for Adele's third studio album, 25, along with "Bird Set Free". However, since Adele decided not to use the songs, she let Sia use them for her seventh studio album.

    I agree with Sia and Adele, that's because I don't listen to too many singers tbh, but J.Lo can pull some serious notes tbh (she's not modern tho)

    If we talk about rap, Childish Gambino is the one, he can sing and he's one of my favorite artists OAT

    Check out Phonte from Little Brother. He has the best singing voice of any rapper I've heard. His music with The Foreign Exchange is very R&B oriented.

    Not my specialty so I couldn't say with any confidence, but I also like Sia a lot. Haley Reinhart has an incredible voice too.
