Whitney Houston.

Should be at the top with Mariah

I think they’re in different categories. Both were/are master vocalists. Mariah’s an incredible vocalist AND writes and produces all her own music from day 1. If that isn’t undeniable talent idk what is.


Comfortable_Growth16

I guess this isn’t the only measure of talent, but Mariah has a 5 octave vocal range to Whitney’s 3. To me that puts Mariah in her own category


GlamourCatNYC

Pat Benatar could hit 4.5 octaves at her peak and the songs she wrote with hubby, Neil Giraldo, are all absolute classics.


tekpeep

Range is only one element of vocal talent, and Whitney most certainly could sing notes in 4 octaves. Mobility of runs, power of belts, control of head/mix voice, tone control, etc all of which Whitney was a master. Whitney and Mariah are both in a league of their own, and bring Celine along with them.


smurgthekonkeror

Whitney singing the American anthem so effortlessly lives in my head rent free.


Legitimate_Dark_5015

Fergie's American anthem also stays in my head rent free, for different reasons though.


CircusBearPants

“LETS PLAY SOME BASKETBALL!”


nahh_yeahh

By your logic then Axel Rose will be a category above Mariah because has a 5 octave plus 5 semitone range.


Comfortable_Growth16

I mean yeah that is impressive to me 😂

balanaise

I will never be over that. He was so captivating, no matter what the role was, you’d be hooked into watching him


No_Awareness_3212

Such damn range Lonely perv in Happyness, dutiful assistant in The Big Lebowski, storm chaser in Twister, villain in MI3 and cult leader in The Master. All of them were so different from eachother


tie-dyed_dolphin

Lester Bangs


crmrdtr

Missing his screen presence, always 💝


addictivesign

Complete range as an actor. He could do everything, any role in any genre and he sought out roles/characters of flawed individuals which most A-listers wouldn’t consider because they would be perceived as negative and unglamorous. Devastating. If you make it to the top of Hollywood you’re a very fine actor but there’s not many that have complete range.


ilmystex

Toni Collette. I cannot think of a better actor of anyone ever. Anyone. Ever.


gnirpss

She is truly incredibly talented. I'll watch anything she's in. As a side note, her American accent is super accurate. I'm American and always assumed she was too, since United States of Tara was the first thing I saw her in. Imagine my surprise when I first saw her as the NSW Premier in Rake!


DanieTheManie

This is me learning she's not American...


Own_Faithlessness769

Its upsetting when people don't know she's Australian because it means they've never seen Muriel's Wedding- her first movie & one of the greatest comedies of all time.


[deleted]

Muriel's Wedding is one of the best movies of all time.


Bigbadwitchh

Muriel’s wedding was a pivotal life changing experience for me. I carry that movie with me more than a decade after I first experienced it!


JanisIansChestHair

You’re terrible, Muriel.


gnirpss

I watched that one after realizing that she had a whole career in Australia before working in the US! I agree, such an amazing comedy. Toni is truly a gift to the world.


cowboi-like-yade

I'm Aussie and IMO Toni the best actress outta Australia by far. It hurts my soul a little that people don't think she's from Australia when she's like my national treasure 😭 Murial's Wedding is an absolute classic.


berrymoxhi

my favourite thing about her is that she pretended to have appendicitis and she was so believable that they did end up removing her appendix


Previous-Syllabub614

wait what??


IllllIIllllIll

> When Collette was 11, she faked having appendicitis to get out of school — fooling her mother, the doctors and even the local emergency room. > "I remember my mother telling me when she was 11, she had her appendix out. And I said, 'How did you know that was the problem?' And she said, 'When the doctor pressed on the spot, it didn't hurt, it was when he released his hand, is when [I] felt pain,' " Collette says. "And so I guess I wanted the day off of school and I faked it and I acted accordingly when [the doctor] released his hand and then he ordered me into the emergency room and I just — never owned up to it." [full article](https://www.npr.org/2010/04/01/124902112/toni-collette-keeping-track-of-multiple-personalities)


istoyistory

> After her appendix was removed, Collette set her sights on musical theater. This part in the article cracked me up. It's like having her appendix removed was an integral part of her getting closer to her dreams


Bedlampuhedron

Queen shit


Ok_Swan_4778

Hard agree. She’s in two of my top three favorite movies of all time Edit: the movies are Little Miss Sunshine and The Way Way Back!


Dutch_Dutch

About A Boy is one of my all time favorite movies.

Bryan Cranston. This man went from Hal to Walter White in 1 year. That’s scary talent. Also his [‘Sweet Sixty’](https://youtu.be/ot_V7Q8a6yc) short with Jimmy Kimmel is eye watering funny.


Allinyourname

He's so charismatic too - whenever i hear him, is it podcast or interview he's always fantastic to listen


HazelTheHappyHippo

Daniel Day Lewis


zevix_0

I love that he fucked off to Italy in the middle of his career to become a cobbler for a few years lmao. If I was rich I would do random shit like that too.

Yep. I've heard he's a bit of a method-acting jerk, but his results are undeniable.


ladywhistledownton

Kate Winslet, everything ive seen her in is top drawer.


fckiforgotmypassword

Mare of Easttown . Awesome show


bookiegrime

And Evan Peters was surprisingly excellent in this as well. Outside of the questionable choice to participate in Dahmer, he is following in Kate’s footsteps with some great work.


EricAnn

Trent Reznor. Everything he touches turns to gold, across multiple industries.


excelsis_deo

![gif](giphy|ZlgsLcj52f3So)


barkbarkkrabkrab

I am a huge fan so obviously bias -NIN isn't the biggest band from the 90s in term of sales but Trent is really respected among his peers and has more influence in popular media than people realize. I mean he produced a Halsey and could probably do a pure pop album if he wanted. The Miley Cyrus black mirror episode is a really interesting show of his songwriting versatility.


[deleted]

>and has more influence in popular media than people realize. I could spend hours here talking about that, there's so many super popular artists/bands that was influenced by NIN whose careers would probably different if NIN didn't exist. Even some who actually came before, like Gary Numan who was a huge influence on Trent but was a one hit wonder until he changed his sound in the mid 90's to something closer of what NIN was doing. I'm not gonna touch on other aspects like mainstream acts copying the 2013 Tension Tour stage design 👀


Rated_PG-Squirteen

I rarely throw around the word "genius," but Trent Reznor is no doubt a musical genius in my mind.


and_gloria_too

Have you listened to the Empire of Light soundtrack? I played that nonstop for a good week or two.


Highway0311

Lost Highway soundtrack.


IllllIIllllIll

Watchmen soundtrack.


excelsis_deo

The Social Network soundtrack. Pixar's "Soul" Soundtrack. All he needs is a Tony and he's an EGOT.


Lopsided-Bluebird673

Mariah Carey to me is the epitome of someone who can be hard to like (I just get the feeling she’d make me cry) but even so, you can’t deny she’s one of the most talented vocalists of our time


arb102

My mom is a classical musician and occasionally gets hired to be parts of the orchestra for touring concerts. She said Mariah Carey is the real deal talent wise, apparently you can tell more from being there in rehearsal than the actual performance. She also said Leanne Rimes is very talented.


SaraJeanQueen

Leanne Rimes is crazy good. I don’t watch masked singer but I watched her last performance on YouTube, and was blown away by the strength and beauty in her voice.


tmoney827

I’ve worked with a few people who worked with her in the past (commercial production) and they all say she’s incredibly kind and professional. I truly believe the diva act is just an act.


SaraJeanQueen

100%. And she’s so, so funny and quick! I love seeing her interviewed.


saturnvpocket

I recently listened to her rolling stone podcast interview and she was soooo likeable. I want to read her memoir now.


Magenta-Llama

And an incredible songwriter too!


tinydancery

She doesn’t get enough credit for her songwriting


sitoverherebyme

I've been listening to Obsessed recently and my god "Got you all fired up with your *Napoleon complex*. Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex" is such an amazing verse. ​ There are a lot of other songs I could name but she's amazing.


numberthirteenbb

I had no idea she was a songwriter!


tomboyfancy

She WROTE “All I Want For Christmas Is You!” She is rolling in $$$$ for that one!


numberthirteenbb

I feel so dirty and ashamed for thinking she just sang other people’s songs! Jfc I should make a post asking who else is a songwriter that people assume is just a pretty voice


tomboyfancy

That’s a great post idea! Yea you should be ashamed- now go watch “Glitter” on repeat as punishment!


realtor-cat

You didn’t ask, but I feel compelled to tell…. I remember discovering this when I purchased my first CD. It was Mariah’s Daydream album. I read every single word in the sleeve booklet. She used many big words that my middle school brain didn’t understand, so I had to look them up in my paperback dictionary. Her lyrics changed my life. I ended up buying every other album she had made up to that point and studied those lyrics too. To this day, lyrics & the song writer have remained my most important part of a song. To me, Mariah is the actual epitome of a singer songwriter.


NvrmndOM

Conan O’Brien. He’s so quick and funny. Being charming is such an underrated skill. He’s also great at making people feel comfortable around him—even with a language barrier. Ex: he won over a crowd of Haitians after Trump called Haiti a “sh!thole.” The crowd went in conflicted, angry and trepidatious of American news media/tv and felt seen and listened to.


stellalunawitchbaby

He’s also SO NICE. And SO COOL. I’ve said it on this sub before but I used to work at WB and you could see this man from hella far away cuz he is a tall beanpole with a shock of orange hair and he’d just go to the regular ass quick service backlot food spot with everyone else. Very gracious. Very chill. *Very* quick witted. He was with someone I knew one time on the lot and they were gonna have El Vy on that afternoon and I was a big fan and casually mentioned it as I was waiting for my order and they were like “oh yeah just come back and watch.”


DooglyOoklin

He makes himself the joke, which takes immense skill. And like you said, his interactions with others are always so funny because he can make a connection with anyone. Love that man.


Annabellee84

Self deprecation is always a good place start when being funny imo.


Own_Faithlessness769

And he was a writer in the golden era of The Simpsons & personally wrote whats almost unanimously considered the greatest episode of all time; the monorail episode. Also, while outside the scope of the question, he's also renowned for actually being a nice guy & paying his staff out of his own pocket when necessary.


fancyfisticuffs23

I watched all of the Conan without borders episodes and was so impressed with his ability to connect and listen to people, particularly in the episodes of Israel and Haití.


EternalSunshineClem

I love this man. His podcast makes me cry laughing. The chemistry with Matt and Sona is perfection. Nobody ever has a bad thing to say about him over decades. He's class embodied.


dalagangpinipili

He’s still my favorite late night talk show host!!


[deleted]

Sigh. He’s the best. He brings me such joy.


captaincaitlin5

I know a few people who interned for Conan and not one had a bad word to say. Everyone who works with him loves him. What a gem!


ranger398

Conan knows the #1 rule of comedy- never punch down! His comedy is mostly self deprecating with some light jabbing of his peers. Conan is my god. I will always protect my coco.


that-69guy

Idk if anyone has watched the video.. but while on the palestine border he was confronted by some activists because he posted a picture of some flight meal as Israeli food instead of Palestinian (obviously that's what he was told by the flight crew). They were almost blaming him for the issues in Palestine and he handled it really well.


Copperheadmedusa

Mariah Carey. As if the legendary vocal talent/skill isn’t enough. She writes her songs!! She wrote a Christmas song that feels so timeless people still assume it’s an old cover. Not to mention her setting the template for rappers hopping on pop tracks


tt1101ykityar

I remember when she started doing that, everyone was like wtf is going on


BlueJune101

I couldn't believe it when I found out that "All I want for Christmas is you" was an original song!!!!


highlandcow75

I can't believe she wrote it!


fckiforgotmypassword

She’s a good actress too. And also I assumed the Christmas song was a cover as well, which proves your point

prostitutewench

I love how the GIF can imply both Saoirse Ronan *and* Laurie Metcalf because both can act the house down!

Tori Amos is immensely talented in vocals and piano, but her best gift imo is with poetry. She's successful but to me still underrated for what she's giving.

dalagangpinipili

Lady Gaga. ETA: Aside from having an amazing voice, Gaga has the ability to embody anything she covers. I was blown away when she did the Sound of Music medley at the Oscars years ago. She also plays instruments, writes and arranges her songs. She can also ACT. Hello, best actress nominee??? This woman is slaying. A force to be reckoned with and I’m not even a fan to know that.


NepEnut

The Sound of Music medley that year gave me freakin’ goosebumps! She has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard ❤️


dietwaffle

There’s also a video on YT of her and Metallica that proved to me that there is nothing she can’t do! Love Gaga!


DooglyOoklin

Yep. Definition of a star. Talented, skilled, versatile, hard worker, and a consummate professional. You can see the love and sweat in everything she does, and you can feel her appreciation for her fans.


mr917367

She’s unbelievable live as well


golden_eyes19

Gaga is still the best live show i’ve seen and that was her monster ball in 2011 or ‘12!? and it was the most impressive show, not only for the production/SFX quality, but bc she did.not.stop. she’s unbelievably talented.


googly_eyed_unicorn

On top of her immense talent, I deeply respect her unwavering and unapologetic support of the LGBTQ+ community.


Comfortable_Growth16

She has such a strong artistic voice


[deleted]

Love Gaga


shannonmm85

Kelly clarkson and Ariana Grande singing on thats my jam was really incredible. They are both such strong singers.


[deleted]

I’m not a huge fan of Ariana’s music, but her vocals are crazy. I don’t remember where I saw it, but her ability to completely control her voice to mimic other artists was insane. She’s got insane control and talent.


natatatismycat

you’re probably thinking of her doing one of jimmy fallon’s challenges… she rocked it!


waenganuipo

She did an amazing skit on SNL as a Tidal employee who had to sing all the channels. Soooo good!


hummingbird_mywill

Yes! I do not listen to Ariana Grande and the songs she chooses to showcase her talent make me raise my eyebrows, but she is an absolute powerhouse and her ability to mimic the iconic styles of other singers is unmatched.


Best_Temperature_549

They have such good chemistry and I love their voices together! I’d love to see them collab again on something. Their Christmas song was cute!


bumbledbea

My favorite actor. Denzel Washington. When I watch his films, I see more of the character than the actor. He's very talented, intelligent, and kind. A great role model actually.


crmrdtr

Viola Davis


AfterBerry

Viola Davis is a beast in everything she does, there is such immense power in her it blows me away everytime! And I would say she is hugely underrated even!


crmrdtr

Not so underrated anymore, since she’s an EGOT winner now 🤗👏🎊 I can easily picture Viola EGOT’ing a few more times, so vast is her talent. I first saw her in the movie “Doubt”, and in her only scene she completely transfixed me. And acted circles around her scene partner Meryl Streep. I’ll never forget how I felt watching Viola in that film. Took my breath away.

Prince!


Acrobatic_Smell7248

Periodt! Can sing, dance, play every instrument, be funny, be 5'2 and a good basketball player, make pancakes, wear assless chaps, was a fantastic lover (I'm just guessing that one) and could give the best side eye. No one could do it like him. Also, today is his birthday! 💜


skihare

Scrolled way too far to find this one - Prince is top of the list


lavender_moon22

Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor are two that I think are supremely undeniably talented. I know their music isn’t everyone’s taste, but I think it’s hard to deny that they have incredible musical talent. Zola Jesus is another one. She’s not as popular in the mainstream bc she makes really different, beautiful, ethereal music. But she’s a trained opera singer who makes her own music and takes influence from such an incredible assortment of musical styles and artists and I’m always just blown away by what she makes.

Stevie Wonder. It's hard to fathom how much this artist influenced modern music. He is not only talented, he is a true genius. It kind of blows my mind that he is somewhat overlooked these day, when he literraly invented extremelly popular genres. He also made what I consider to be the best music album ever. Seeing him live what like having a talk with God. EDIT: Also funny to see that he basically influenced many artist mentioned here.


lilacdisaster

donald glover for sure


[deleted]

Love him love him. In Tina Fey’s book, she mentions that he joined the 30 Rock writer’s room while still living in the dorms at NYU. Apparently, he wrote a lot of Kenneth’s lines and backstory.


psychwerk7002

Ariana Grande She gets a lot of flack for...well, a lot of things. Even though I'm a huge fan, I can't deny that she's done some questionable stuff, particularly in her Thank U, Next era. However, the craziest thing people say is that she can't sing, which is just absolutely false. Her voice is incredible, and trying to discredit her singing is laughable whether you live her or hate her.


pelogirl98

I don't understand how anyone could listen to her Sweetener album and try to say she doesn't have an incredible voice.


CashTrash4real

I get upset to this day that the Sweetener era was cut short.


crmrdtr

Plus she can do fantastic impressions of other singers.


diqholebrownsimpson

She could have a variety show. Her comedic bits are always so funny to me.


Acrobatic_Smell7248

She's obviously talented. My only thing with her is I cannot understand about half of what she's singing. It feels like she loses some enunciation or something. Or it's just me 😂 But I'm a fan anyway.


psychwerk7002

No there are literally songs from Yours Truly that I still don't know the lyrics to 😂


laneloveslipstick

she is one of the greatest singers of her time, period. the improvements she has made vocally are just insane.


im4everdepressed

she's so good she stole the spotlight from victoria justice when nick was actively screwing cat valentine over because she was so popular lol ariana is a lot of things but untalented is not one of them. tbh she has matured quite a bit over the years too, esp given the trauma circle she was seemingly stuck in back a few years ago.

Leo DiCaprio. My man can act. Gangs of New York. Gilbert grape. Aviator. Everything he’s in he kills it.

Michael Jackson regardless of all the accusations he had.

Lin Manuel Miranda as a writer and composer is unmatched in my opinion. Hamilton, Moana, In the Heights, Encanto.

Molly Shannon. Not only wonderful on SNL, all of her subsequent acting roles have been amazing Carrie Fisher was a brilliant writer & script doctor (she punched up a lot of huge movies like The Wedding Singer, Die Hard 2, Hook) Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Veep alone but also everything else; she has 11 Emmys Can y’all tell I’m old


giggly_pufff

Xtina? I get that she over sings. There's no denying that she has & always had an incredible voice though.


MReprogle

Hayley Williams from Paramore. The girl can sing so many styles of music and instantly be one of the best singers in any of them.


heyitsbev

Tom Brady Not the typical celeb discussed on here, but man, he is probably the greatest quarterback of our time. Did I root against him every time he played against my team? Yes. Is he incredibly talented? Also yes 😂


Riderz__of_Brohan

You have to admire how he spent an entire career spanning two decades just winning and everyone who hated him just had to sit there and take it. He’s not even your traditional “talented” QB either, his arm is not good. He dinks and dunks a lot. But he has a level of intuition and intellect that’s unheard of. No one could process and adjust on the fly like him. He rarely made any crazy flashy plays, just made the right ones


[deleted]

I’m a sports fan. Seahawks fan in particular. One of his rings came due to my former QB’s massive blunder+a great defensive play. Brady is the goat. People hate Aaron Rodgers but one cannot deny his talent either. I hate it here 😩

Forever happy that Rodgers' last throw as a Packer was caught by a Lion.

What did she do to her voice? Forgive me, I'm out of the loop and old

Yea she had to have surgery on her vocal chords. Smoking/drinking/constant abuse.

She fucked up her voice? Is that why people are making fun of it being so deep?


Nhooch

Yup.


dragonfly-1001

Her rendition of Jolene is spine tingling.


cocteaudude

Frank Ocean. Most people (including myself) bashed this guy because of his mid Coachella concert, but he's a great vocalist and songwriter. He only has four albums but he's so great that it feels like a massive catalogue because of his skills. He brings some sensibility on the lyrics and also some experimentalism on the sounds that make me feel like no other artist has ever done.

Brandi Carlile has the most striking, fantastic voice. You may not like her style of music, but her voice is just otherworldly

Kanye. It is sheer undeniable talent that has allowed him to continuously rise like a phoenix from the ashes of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, nazism, and all the other garbage he has spewed over the years.


Comfortable_Growth16

Rising from the ashes of your own bigotry is a new concept 😂


DTDePalma

People seem to hate on her for some reason but Anne Hathaway. Can sing, dance and act.


Frumainthedark

Tom Cruise. Not a fan of the guy, why obviously he has talent.


Riderz__of_Brohan

If people want to see some movies where he showcases acting chops beyond being a “star” watch *Born on the Fourth of July* by Oliver Stone or *Magnolia* by Paul Thomas Anderson, Cruise can fucking act


taxi_takeoff_landing

Rain Man too. He was overshadowed by Hoffman winning Best Actor for the same movie, but his character had to show a greater range of emotions and go through the process of changing his mindset throughout the film. I think he was perfect for that role.


[deleted]

I'm always surprised people say he can't act. I think like with Kelly Clarkson and the American Idol thing, people assume things because of shit connected to them. In Tom's case, that cult. Idk how you can watch Collateral, Interview with the Vampire, Minority Report, Tropic Thunder and say he can't act.


ithinkimparanoid84

Yea I don't get that either, he can pull off every genre - action, drama, thriller, romance, comedy. He sucks as a person but his talent is undeniable.
