The magazine explained the qualities they were looking for in artists when compiling the list.

Dion has not responded to the list on social media. While many singers are born with "massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range," those vocal qualities are not the only ones that make a great singer. "Leaving her off your Top 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list has to be an honest and regrettable mistake… "My oldest daughter took her first steps, without crutches, in a choreographed dance to a Celine Dion song.

The entire 2 hours and 39 minutes of the film was at that same level of ingenuity and the storytelling aspect was so fresh and entertaining, that I didn't want it to end. "Elvis" debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May. I shed tears at several points in the film, not only because of the content of the story, but in many instances because of the absolutely exquisite performances and creative new ways to interpret the Elvis songs I have heard my whole life. The music in this movie and how it tells the story is out of this world. "Either way, I can't remember being this impressed by a movie, so if you are on the fence about seeing 'one more Elvis biopic', rest assured, you ain't seen nothing yet. "Of course I have all of his movies and specials on DVD, read all the Elvis books from the fantastic to the moronic, and have seen every Elvis related bio, be it a movie, a documentary or TV series, several times. But this one is in such a different world that it obliterated its predecessors so violently, it's made me envision a stadium class band showing up at a high school battle of the bands contest to the shock of all witnessing it. So in 'Elvis the Movie', when the opening sequence (!?) started with a jaw dropping and haunting reworking of a very deep cut from the barely known 'It Happened At The World's Fair' soundtrack, I knew this was no cash grab biopic. 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." If a media outlet uses 'sui generis' to describe the most influential singer of all time, said media outlet`s assessment should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Iceland. I have over 1000 different vinyl records of his from all around the world, from remote countries on every continent except for Antarctica. The publication anticipated complaints from fans who disagreed with Rolling Stone's choices, writing in the introduction: "Before you start scrolling (and commenting),keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List.
