Looking up info, it says that her manager Guy Oseary is the guy she high fives with in the club. Am I being naive? And what is the devil stuff all about?ĭo the many cameos in the video mean anything either, or do you think that was just for fun? I know who Udo Kier and Debi Mazar are. It's like all this sex and partying stuff is meant to be fun, but it's so cold at the same time it makes me feel it's like it can't escape the spectre of the AIDS epidemic at the same time or something. Or is she just showing a kind of "you can't go back again" type storyline? Madonna is happy in the 70s with all her friends, then comes back in the 90s and it's not the same? The whole thing feels quite ominous though, like a lot of her stuff from that album and time. I looked up a bit about the video, but didn't get if there was a deeper (no pun intended) meaning or not. What do the balloons symbolise? Why does she freak out when that man at the bar starts popping them? Why does Udo Kier cut them at the end of the video? But in the end, the singers behind it are here for one reason: They can remake the world just by opening their mouths.This is probably a very ignorant post, but I was just watching Madonna's "Deeper and Deeper" video and I feel like there is a message or a meaning in it that perhaps I'm not getting? Unless it's just being arty for the sake of being arty? A voice can be gorgeous like Mariah Carey’s, rugged like Toots Hibbert’s, understated like Willie Nelson’s, slippery and sumptuous like D’Angelo’s, or bracing like Bob Dylan’s. In all cases, what mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy. As our write-up for the man who ended up at Number 112 notes, “Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t have what most people would call a good voice, but boy does he have a great one.” That could apply to more than a few people here. Others have rougher, stranger, or more delicate instruments. Sure, many of the people here were born with massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range. Talent is impressive genius is transcendent. You might notice that, say, there isn’t any opera on our list - that’s because our purview is pop music writ large, meaning that almost all the artists on this list had significant careers as crossover stars making popular music for the masses.īefore you start scrolling (and commenting), keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List.
This new list was compiled our staff and key contributors, and it encompasses 100 years of pop music as an ongoing global conversation, where iconic Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar lands between Amy Winehouse and Johnny Cash, and salsa queen Celia Cruz is up there in the rankings with Prince and Marvin Gaye. The results skewed toward classic rock and singers from the Sixties and Seventies. When Rolling Stone first published its list of the 100 Greatest Singers in 2008, we used an elaborate voting process that included input from well-known musicians. These are the vocalists that have shaped history and defined our lives - from smooth operators to raw shouters, from gospel to punk, from Sinatra to Selena to SZA. And you can think of our list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time as a celebration of that bond. Aretha Franklin described her mission as a singer like this: “Me with my hand outstretched, hoping someone will take it.” That kind of deep, empathetic bond between artist and listener is the most elemental connection in music.
