Hmm. Everyone is picking Elvis for Number one. Let me just say that Elvis is my all time favorite, so he's my number one also. I just thought that the list was supposed to be favorite singers besides Elvis so I didn't include him in my selection.

[mn-designs]

My top 5 looks like this:

1: Elvis Presley
2: Michael Bubl?
2: Rene Froger
3: Ilse DeLange
4: B.B King
5: Tina Turner

The numbers 2 on the list are 2 artists i have much respect for and 2 great singers and entertainers, so i put them both on that number 2 position. And if you look at my list you can see that there are 5 different music styles:

Elvis Presley: pop/rock/country/blues/gospel
Michael Bubl?: pop/jazz-standards
Rene Froger: pop and also jazz (he is like elvis, he can can sing almost every music style)
Ilse Delange: country - pop- rock
B.B King: Blues
Tina Turner: pop- R&B- soft rock
