"Who is the best singer in the world?" the wonderfully charismatic student repeated during a university Q&A panel I gave earlier this year. It's not that I didn't hear her correctly the first time she asked, I just needed a second to recalibrate my brain to the simple and refreshingly candid nature of the question.
As a performer myself, and as a creative director, producer, and vocal coach to some of the biggest stars today, I hear the same types of questions from university students at these talkbacks: How much are voice lessons in New York City? How do I get an agent (or should I go straight for a manager)? Do you think I can play Elphaba on Broadway? How hard is it to get signed with a record label? And so on. These kids are at a point in their lives where they constantly look in the mirror to critique themselves and their skills, so the questions are all very much centered around how "I" can get seen and how "I" can get to the next stage of "my" career... But the girl in the front row who was visibly bursting with anticipation as she threw her arm in the air again sees the value in asking about what I think success looks like in the world right now, and that's a person who "gets it." And whether they realized it or not, the answer this group of students was about to hear contained some of the best advice they will ever receive in their entire careers, if they can learn to think beyond the "I" limitations to hear the message.
Because my answer to the question, "Who is the best singer in the world?" is a no-brainer, and even when I entertain the idea of considering others just for the sake of it, the comparisons undoubtedly set my original answer even further ahead of the competition somehow. And I've got enough receipts to prove my point to write a textbook about it. For now, it's contained in this blog post.
My name is Joseph Stanek and I've dedicated my life since 2008 to creating art that is meaningful, tastefully disruptive, and unapologetically authentic. It's been an honor to have worked with some of the biggest icons in the entertainment industry for some pretty historic performances (Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, Steven Tyler at the Roman Colosseum, anyone?), so my take on who the best singer in the world is has been constructed not only as an expert in the field, but from real world experience with the singer herself. And if you've seen her in concert, chances are, you'll agree.
"There is one very clear answer to that question," I replied, "bear with me as I take you through the components of success at its highest level for a singer today. Because this one's got it on lock."
First, Let's Get This Straight: "Singer" Vs. "Recording Artist"
I have to preface my argument with a short lesson in terminology for those who might not know. (And if you were unaware of the difference before now, it's nothing to be ashamed of; for marketing purposes, many artists out there like to blur the lines between these two terms to give the illusion that they are more skilled than they actually are, so it's not your fault.) Read this loud and clear:
The terms "singer" and "recording artist" are not synonymous. This is a fact, and not my opinion.
If you want to get granular about the two terms' definitions, anyone who is able to phonate can be considered a singer, and anyone who can create noise of any kind, even by the sound of their breathing, can be considered a recording artist if those sounds are ever recorded in any capacity.
But for the purposes of determining who the world's "best" singer is, a comprehensive evaluation requires us to reach a common ground with the understanding of a slightly more specific definition of each, as they are commonly identified and accepted by experts like myself within the entertainment industry:
"Singer"
A "singer" possesses exceptional vocal technique focused on vocal performances. A true singer is able to engage their vocal technique on command, most often in live concert engagements without relying upon performance enhancements or smoke-and-mirror-type illusions that give the audience the impression that they have singing abilities that they actually do not (lip synching, pitch correction, and the likes).
"Recording Artist"
A "recording artist" excels in crafting polished, commercially viable recordings, most often with the help of a team of engineers and producers. I think of recording artists as producing music in which the studio itself is as important to the final sound as the human beings actually providing the sounds. Many people consider the studio an actual instrument in the recording artists' final releases. As a collective, "recording artists" is not exclusive to singers, and can include instrumentalists and electronic instrumentation, dabbling a bit into the recording engineer's territory.
When Singers Aren't The Best Recording Artists
While the two terms can overlap, they don't always. Many singers' live performances eclipse their recorded work. The singer Orfeh gives incredible live performances, leaving all her audiences in pure shock with the power behind her vocals, but for some reason recording media cannot capture the same power. Her "Freedom" performance on Club Broadway was mind-blowingly electric in the room, but the real phenomenon that IS Orfeh can only be captured by firsthand account; that video, while still impressive, does not do the "real" Orfeh justice.
In addition, from all historic accounts, it is widely accepted that Astoria-native opera singer Maria Callas had a similar issue with recording; microphones and video cameras simply couldn't capture the magic she created when she was seen performing live on stage.
When Recording Artists Aren't the Best Singers
Much more commonly, recording artists produce their best work in the studio, but struggle to replicate the same sounds at the drop of the hat, something that true singers can easily showcase. For the most part, this is due to the significant amount of influence that goes into their music beyond their own solo capabilities. Enya, for example, has never given a concert due to concerns about not being able to replicate the sounds of her music on stage. Sure, she has performed for audiences before, and on television before, but she's the first to admit that these are heavily "produced" performances, with the backing tracks obscuring any live feed that may be coming from her own microphone. This awesome article on MSN summarizes the Enya phenomenon quite well, and it's often in Enya's own words.
I also like to direct people to this video featuring the isolated vocals of Britney Spears in concert. Yes, the world caught glimpses of Britney Spears as a "singer" in the early Britney days on Star Search, but once she really hit it big as a recording artist, it's clear from the former video that she learned to prioritize her dance and lip synching skills over live vocal performance as she had settled into her role as a recording artist.
Why The "Singer" and "Recording Artist" Differentiation Matters
The reason I even mention this difference between "singers" and "recording artists" is because I am often met with backlash when I offer my (highly researched and well-supported) opinion on who the best singer in the world is. The backlash tends to be accompanied by quantifiable metrics, things like, "But [insert recording artist's name] has sold over [obscenely high number] of records and is coming off an over-sold international arena tour." While those metrics may be impressive for a recording artist, they don't carry as much weight, if any at all, when we only consider the singers out there making music. Most likely, the artist in question is really more of a recording artist than a singer. The purpose of this study is to determine the identity of the best singer in the world.
Don't get it twisted, though; one of the skills the "best singer in the world" should readily have up their sleeves is a masterful command of their voice while in the recording studio... an ability to use their voice to connect with audiences without being in the same room. Through earbuds and surround-sound Bose speakers alike. If you're the best singer in the world, your vocal abilities know no boundaries and can translate effectively through any medium.
Parameters Assessed to Determine the "Best"
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's go over what it means to truly be the "best singer in the world." (Recalling the above, it's not album sales.)
As an industry expert, I'm not just rattling off someone I like. Although it is my opinion, I've made this decision based on a number of both quantifiable metrics and the presence of specific intangible qualities (and just how "present" they are!).
My professional opinion of who the best singer in the world is has been determined through meticulous consideration of the following categories, with the winner being the singer who has mastered each of these conventions on their own and in combination with the others—the individual who most successfully executes the following criteria—better than anyone else on the planet:
Technical Prowess: The singer's mastery over vocal techniques, including breath control, pitch accuracy, agility, and the ability to execute complex and otherwise challenging vocal passages effortlessly.
Emotional Depth: The capacity to genuinely express and evoke feelings through vocal performance, resonating deeply and authentically with listeners.
Versatility: The singer's ability to excel in diverse musical genres, adapt stylistically, and perform convincingly in various musical contexts.
Vocal Range: The span of pitches a singer can comfortably sing—often used to measure technical ability, but distinct enough to be its own category.
Tone Quality: The unique timbre or coloration of the singer’s voice—what makes them instantly recognizable and appealing.
Interpretative Skill (Artistry): How effectively a singer conveys meaning, nuance, and intention beyond emotional depth alone; this includes phrasing, dynamics, and subtle artistic choices.
Cultural Impact: The extent to which the singer’s work has influenced music, society, and other artists globally.
Consistency and Reliability: The ability to maintain vocal quality across live performances, studio recordings, and various conditions (e.g., touring).
Authenticity: How genuine and true-to-self the artist appears in their vocal performances, affecting connection and believability.
Longevity: The singer's ability to sustain vocal excellence, relevance, and influence over an extended period, demonstrating adaptability and growth through the various phases of their career, through natural changes as the vocal apparatus ages along with the body, and through major life events that impact expression through the music they sing.
So... Who Is the Best Singer in the World?
So who meets these formidable criteria, rising above countless exceptional artists to earn the title of the "best singer in the world"? In my professional opinion, after carefully assessing each of the categories listed above, one name consistently shines brighter than the rest—Kristin Chenoweth. Her vocal artistry doesn't merely meet these expectations—it transcends them. Chenoweth effortlessly blends technical mastery with unparalleled interpretive genius, leaving audiences captivated, moved, and forever changed by her extraordinary gift.
I've been working with celebrity singers for the better part of my 17-year career, primarily based out of New York and LA. As their vocal coach, my role is to help them navigate specific vocal challenges, addressing technical vulnerabilities through targeted exercises and strategically emphasizing their vocal strengths during live performances. Understanding intimately what each singer can and cannot do with their voice is essential to my job. Typically, this close knowledge of a singer’s vocal limitations might naturally exclude them from topping a "world's best" list of singers.
However, since I began working with Kristin Chenoweth in 2016, my lofty suspicions about her singing abilities have, much to my surprise, proven to be true. Kristin doesn't just meet the highest vocal standards—she defines them. Her voice possesses no discernible weaknesses, only an unmatched strength and clarity that elevate her to a level all her own. Whether she is performing on stage, recording in a studio, or harmonizing with a security alarm in a hotel lobby on social media, Kristin Chenoweth demonstrates flawless vocal technique, profound emotional expression, and a versatility that continuously defies expectations. Simply put, working with Kristin has taught me that vocal perfection isn't merely theoretical—it’s embodied in her every note. Here are the receipts to back it up:
The Girl in 14G: Kristin Chenoweth's Masterclass in Vocal Versatility
When Kristin's career took her to Hollywood, away from New York and the leading role she had been workshopping in Thoroughly Modern Millie, composer Jeanine Tesori made her a promise to write a special song for her. A "showcase" to show off Kristin's abilities like nothing else before. That's a hefty promise. But boy, did she deliver on it! One year later, Jeanine called Kristin and said, "I'm making good on my promise," and mailed her a copy of "The Girl in 14G" - at the perfect time in her career when Kristin was really gaining stride in the public eye. I remember seeing Kristin perform this on The Rosie O'Donnell show and being blown away by it. The song cleverly incorporates several styles of singing back-to-back. Watch and have a listen to "The Girl in 14G" here:
But let's break down these vocal techniques one-by-one just to make sure everyone comprehends her mastery over this interpretation, and how they each developed. We've got belting (the vocal style featured in the song's main character), opera/classical/legit coloratura singing (from 13G) and jazz (in 15G). Check out the next two sections for a bit more on her belting and classical singing, and I'll return to her jazz singing further down as I discuss how her voice ages.
Belting on Broadway
My personal journey with Kristin began long before our professional collaboration. I was Snoopy in my high school's production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and I worshipped the new soundtrack from the Broadway revival that had just come out. The album featured a standout musical number that unfortunately wasn't in the version my school had licensed for our production. Sure, Andrew Lippa's "My New Philosophy" was composed exquisitely with a catchy melody and exciting vamp throughout, but I couldn't get the singer, someone named Kristin Chenoweth, off my mind. I had never heard someone belt like that, or as high as that, ever before. "My New Philosophy" was such a showstopper, it earned Kristin a TONY® Award pretty much on its own... even after the revival had already closed on Broadway. (Winning a TONY® for a role in a show that has closed already is a nearly impossible accomplishment in and of itself, but on top of that, Sally Brown is a role with a one-liner here and there, and she's really got only one song, which is technically a duet, not a solo!) That's the work of a remarkable artist.
"Glitter and Be Gay" - A Benchmark for Future Performances
When you mention the name "Kristin Chenoweth" to any trained singer in the world, the first thought that will cross their minds is Kristin's rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" at Lincoln Center, which THANK GOD was immortalized on film for a national broadcast on PBS. (She later told me that the contract for this performance had already been already signed when Wicked transferred to Broadway, which meant she had to juggle Candide rehearsals for the performance on national television while performing Glinda 8 times a week in Wicked. I mean...) Anyway, her rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" at Lincoln Center was monumental, to say the very least. Her interpretation of one of the most difficult vocal compositions in history was so definitive that it became the benchmark for all subsequent performances from then on after. In fact, for the culturally-attuned audience member, if a Cunégonde dares to perform "Glitter and Be Gay" without boldly swinging those necklaces overhead like a triumphant lasso, her performance immediately devolves into a regrettable misstep—so glaringly bland and uninspired that it becomes permanently etched as a disappointing "should-have-been" moment, if it's even committed to memory at all after that. This is just one example of her incomparable ability to leave an "indelible mark" on every piece she touches.
Leaving Other "Indelible Marks" Upon Her Songs
In fact, there isn't much that Kristin Chenoweth does NOT leave her indelible mark upon when it comes to song interpretation. For instance, in Stephen Schwartz's score for the Broadway musical Wicked, it was Kristin Chenoweth, not Stephen Schwartz, who created the yodel in the song "Popular". (Listen to the chorus: "You, will, be... Popular! You're gonna be pop-u-u-lar...") Her creative genius when it comes to the tiniest details like this are not only drawing techniques from left field, but they're so incredibly unique and always so perfectly in line with what the music and lyrics BEG for, that the song simply does not exist the same way without them. There have been quite a number of singers to tackle "Popular" on stage in Wicked, and I guarantee every single one of them sang the yodel on the second syllable of the titular word, a subtle nod to the creative genius of Ms. Chenoweth.
Chenoweth's Broadway Debut (The Real One) and Her Work as an Actress
I'm not quite sure how every digital news outlet incorrectly credits Kristin Chenoweth's Broadway debut as Precious McGuire in Steel Pier, which is a coloratura feat in which she sustains an E6 whilst being hoisted in the air, because it's entirely false information. Kristin Chenoweth made her Broadway debut in a non-musical play called Scapin in 1997. The fact that her Broadway debut was in a speaking role speaks wonders for her acting abilities. Two years later, she would be cast in another play on Broadway called Epic Proportions, a further testament to her acting chops so early in her career.
Of course she went on to win the EMMY® Award for Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Olive Snook in the short-lived Pushing Daisies, and snag a few additional EMMY® nominations for playing April Rhodes on the hit series Glee. Her TONY® and EMMY® Awards were not factored into the "best singer in the world" criteria, but they are worth mentioning.
We all know what a difference such skilled acting makes in song interpretation; having access to hundreds of different timbres throughout the vocal range to color the lyrics for dramatic purposes in such distinct nuances is a hallmark of Kristin's singing.
The Queen of the Sopranos
Any discussion of Kristin Chenoweth's singing will surely contain several instances of the word "soprano," because, after she proved her acting talents in Scapin, her role in Steel Pier solidified her as a formidable coloratura force to be reckoned with.
But if you rewind a bit to her college days, she was already famously hitting high notes on pretty visible platforms. Check out this video of her singing the ending of Victor Herbert's "Art is Calling for Me" as Miss Oklahoma City University in the 1991 Miss Oklahoma Pageant. (She ended up sweeping the talent category, but not the crown.) For those of you who aren't aware, Kristi Dawn Chenoweth, former Miss America Susan Powell, Lara Teeter, and Kelli O'hara were all students of the same master voice teacher, the late Florence Birdwell.
An Unexpected Development: Kristin Chenoweth's Middle and Lower Registers Blossom with Age, Rivaling Her Famed Coloratura
While everything I've covered up to this point is impressive on its own, here comes an unexpected twist. I bore witness to a development in Kristin Chenoweth's voice in 2016 that sealed the deal on her "best singer in the world" title. My very first project in collaboration with her, a studio album of American songbook classics called The Art of Elegance (Concord Music), introduced the world to the rich, chocolate, golden warmth of a newly developed middle and low registers of her voice. We caught a glimpse of this lovely lower tessitura of hers when she delivered the lower harmonies in Wicked's "For Good," (which, by the way, if you ask Stephen Schwarts what his favorite musical moment of the entire show is, he'll have the same answer every time: Glinda's, "...changed for the better," which he wrote to be a supporting harmony underneath Elphaba's upper melody, but was so masterfully sung by Kristin Chenoweth that, upon hearing this section, most listeners assume the lower part is the melody with little attention paid to whatever is happening above it. Again, Stephen Schwartz's favorite moment in Wicked. Again, an indelible mark.)
If you are unfamiliar with The Art of Elegance, I beg you to give it a listen. For those of you who follow the Billboard charts, you'll know that Frank Sinatra still holds court over the traditional jazz albums all these years after his passing, but The Art of Elegance debuted at Number 1 on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums chart, bumping Mr. Sinatra to second place for a whopping eight consecutive weeks. This is virtually unheard of. Go listen to the album. Any track will do, although a personal favorite is, "I Get Along Without You Very Well" - you'll hear what I'm talking about how Ms. Chenoweth's middle and lower registers are uncharacteristically robust for the typical high coloratura voice, and the singing couldn't be healthier, more natural, or more sumptuously rich with interpretation throughout the entire album. That voice was created by divine intervention.
How Did She Score with the Parameters?
Kristin Chenoweth embodies the pinnacle of vocal artistry by excelling exceptionally across every essential metric:
Technical Prowess: Kristin Chenoweth’s vocal technique is extraordinary, characterized by impeccable breath control, pinpoint pitch accuracy, remarkable agility, and the effortless execution of complex vocal passages. Her iconic performance of "Glitter and Be Gay" from "Candide," with its challenging coloratura soprano demands, showcases her mastery vividly, navigating rapid-fire notes and intricate ornamentation with astounding ease and precision.
Emotional Depth: Chenoweth possesses a profound capacity for emotional expression, deeply resonating with listeners through authenticity and heartfelt delivery. Her interpretation of "For Good" from "Wicked," conveys genuine vulnerability and emotional sincerity, leaving audiences profoundly moved and deeply connected to the narrative.
Versatility: Few artists navigate diverse genres with the ease and conviction Chenoweth displays. She fluidly transitions from operatic arias and Broadway anthems to jazz standards and contemporary pop, as demonstrated in albums like "The Art of Elegance," where she effortlessly inhabits classic jazz songs with sophisticated finesse and genuine charm.
Vocal Range: According to the internet, Kristin Chenoweth's vocal range spans D3 to F6. However, I've vocalized her down to a B3 and up to touch a brilliantly resonant B-flat7 in real life. Either way, it's impressive. Chenoweth’s vocal range spans multiple octaves, comfortably embracing both the demanding coloratura soprano territory and expressive lower registers. Her ability to execute a wide vocal spectrum is exemplified by roles ranging from the stratospheric high notes of Cunégonde in "Candide" to the emotionally nuanced, lower-range melodies in songs such as "I Will Always Love You."
Tone Quality: Kristin’s voice is instantly recognizable, boasting a distinctive timbre that uniquely combines crystalline clarity, warmth, and brightness. Her signature vocal color is appealingly evident in performances like "Taylor the Latte Boy," where her vibrant and engaging tone captures listeners immediately and unmistakably.
Interpretative Skill (Artistry): Chenoweth’s interpretative genius sets her apart, as she masterfully conveys nuanced meanings and emotions beyond mere vocal technique. Her subtle phrasing and dynamic variations in songs such as "My Funny Valentine" reveal layers of emotional storytelling, transforming familiar melodies into profoundly impactful musical experiences.
Cultural Impact: Chenoweth’s artistry has significantly influenced musical theater, contemporary performance, and popular culture, inspiring countless artists and reaching broad audiences worldwide. Her portrayal of Glinda in "Wicked" reshaped Broadway's landscape, becoming an iconic character embedded in popular culture, widely recognized and emulated internationally.
Consistency and Reliability: Known for exceptional consistency across various performance settings, Chenoweth delivers vocal excellence whether on Broadway, in concert halls, or studio recordings. Her flawless live performances, such as her widely acclaimed concert at Carnegie Hall, affirm her unwavering reliability and dedication to vocal quality under any circumstance.
Authenticity: Kristin Chenoweth brings a profound authenticity to every performance, creating intimate connections with audiences through genuine, heartfelt expression. Her performances always feel truthful and deeply personal, as evidenced by her emotionally resonant interpretations of classics like "Smile," where her sincerity and honesty shine brightly.
Longevity: Chenoweth has maintained vocal excellence, relevance, and influence throughout a distinguished career spanning decades. She continuously adapts and evolves with each phase of her life, gracefully navigating natural vocal changes and personal milestones. Her enduring presence in both theater and music, consistently demonstrating adaptability and growth, cements her status as a timeless and iconic vocal powerhouse.
The Others In Comparison
Out of curiosity, while I was assessing who I thought the best singer in the world is, I couldn't stop myself from Googling what other people have publicly posted. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion (as I am entitled to my own opinion), check out these other suggestions by random people on the internet, along with a brief statement of mine below:
Aretha Franklin (the queen of R&B during a pivotal time in civil rights, the voice of the movement that inspired much-needed change)
Elvis Presley (a rare baritone on this list, with beautiful low notes and equally impressive high notes, rock and roll, with gospel and country influences)
Ray Charles (infused different styles of music to become a pioneer for the creation of soul music)
Ella Fitzgerald (hands-down the best jazz vocalist in history, her improvisations are unbelievable)
Whitney Houston (I mean come on, that national anthem)
Mariah Carey (I mean come on, that national anthem!)
Christina Aguilera (agility for days, instantly recognizable style)
Celine Dion (a true singer who only dabbled in smoke and mirrors on tour and during her Vegas residency when she was vocally under)
Renee Fleming (the only singer in history to sing the national anthem live at the Super Bowl. Don't start with me, this is a huge accomplishment, and yes, Whitney Houston lip synched the performance broadcast for the nation, don't get me started.)
These other singers are all truly some of the greats. They all do what they do very well, that is certain. But consider the mastery it takes to sing:
"Glitter and Be Gay" so well that it creates an archetypical interpretation of the song forever after it was introduced;
pair it with Chenoweth's TONY Award-Winning role Sally Brown with her song "My New Philosophy," which has some of the highest belting ever hears on Broadway;
then add her interpretation of "Popular" which, again, left a permanent mark on the piece for all eternity;
and then contrast all of that with her silvery, chocolate, immediately-recognizable middle and lower registers so beautifully captured in "The Art of Elegance"
Suddenly, the singers known for their mastery of a single style lose a bit of their luster in comparison.
Final Send-Off
From the measurable vocal virtuosity and immeasurable artistic attributes I've touched upon in this study (although there are many more to her name than these), Kristin Chenoweth is simply in a league of her own when discussing the best singers in the world. Which is why she is the highest-paid symphonic singer in the world, second-to-none. Do yourself a favor and catch her the next time she makes a stop on her ongoing concert tour around the world, and you just may be a convert yourself...
Extra Credit: Kristin Chenoweth Rapping? Patter Song? What IS This?
I'm not exactly sure how to classify this last song here, but God bless Kristin Chenoweth for agreeing to perform it. It takes a singer who is totally confident in their abilities to attempt something from left field like this. People online call this a rap, but to me, it's more of a Gilbert and Sullivan-esque patter song with rhythmic dialogue. Whatever it is, it's a hard sell for any performer, and I can't imagine anyone outshining this particular performance by Kristin Chenoweth. Enjoy.
