    These days, there are a lot of  singers that are not as talented as they are presented to be. Everyday, we listen to all of these songs by different artists and we are in shock when we actually get to listen to those artist perform live in concert or even on a video on YouTube or any other social network. At that moment we realize that not only do they sound completely different from the studio version, but that they don’t even have a good singing voice. Of course, everyone can have an unfortunate moment, get sick and generally have  a bad live performance, but what if every single live performance by those artists is bad?
    Fortunately, they are some singers that have music talent and of course a good singing voice. These are some examples of current singers that are actually worth being called that J

1)Ariana Grande (Vocal Type: Soprano)


   Ariana Grande (born June 26, 1993) is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. Her first studio album, Yours Truly, was released on September 2, 2013 in the UK, following a day later in the US. Her album was inspired by artists like Amy Winehouse, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, and Madonna.
    She possesses four-octave range reaching a high of E7.Her voice has been compared to that of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Her music is generally pop and contemporary R&B, and has features of funk, dance, and hip hop.
   In my opinion, Ariana is one of the best current singers because she is unique and she has a great musical talent. Her voice is absolutely amazing and she possesses a highly impressive vocal range of four octaves. Not to mention how beautiful she is.


2) Demi Lovato (Vocal Type: Mezzo-Soprano)

     Demi Lovato was born August 20, 1992 and she is an American recording artist, actress, and philanthropist. She signed to Hollywood Records the same year, and released her debut studio album, Don't Forget, in September 2008. Her fourth album, DEMI, was released in May 10, 2013
       She possesses a 3-Octave range and her vocals have been met with positive responses from music critics saying that she has a voice that can silence even the harshest of critics and that she's a Kelly Clarkson-level vocalist.
        Personally I think that Demi Lovato is just incredible. First of all she is an amazing person. She has helped so many people that go hrough similar situation as she is and encourages them to “Stay Strong”. Furthermore , she has an unbelievably beautiful and powerful voice. All I’m trying to say is that she is beautiful both inside and outside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDzd-UQ2onk

      In my opinion, Amy Lee’s voice is utterly powerful and beautiful. Her tone is like no other singer’s, so you can easily tell that it’s her when you hear her singing and her live performances are absolutely breathtaking. Voices like that are one in a million.
