Who are your elite modern singers?
I'd say within the last 30 years
I think my top Females are Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Hayley Williams.
I have a hard time picking male singers cause I generally listen to Rock/Alternative and sometimes its hard to grasp great vocals but of course I'm going to go with Billie Joe Armstrong because I know his work and how much his voice has improved over the years. Cobain can get in there as well, its too bad he left us so soon. I think Bruno Mars is super talented as well.
Then you got people like Elton John, Prince, Michael Jackson, but I feel they're more famous for their earlier work before the 90's generally.
I know there is a ton more talent out there, so give me your thoughts. Donesn't have to be a mega star, you might know this obscure indie singer who has a fantastic voice.

Re: Who are your elite modern singers?
I'm going to stick with the rock genre, because I generally avoid modern pop music. I will grant you Keys and Lady Gaga, though. Add in Adele.
Now, for rock singers, I'd say the top singers, lately, are the likes of Taylor Momson (Pretty Reckless), Lizzy Hale (Halestorm), Jay Buchanon (Rival Sons), that kid from Greta Van Fleet, to name a few. I know I'm missing some.

Chris Stapleton and Eric Church are the only current country artists that I'll listen to. So good!

Kizska kid from Greta Van Fleet - I think he tries too hard, but his range and rock raspy-ness makes me damn jealous.
David Dramain from Disturbed - he was unique until their cover of Sound of Silence. Then I realized his brilliance.
Lenny Kravitz
Adele
Bruno

Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson. Everyone else can't hold a candle to these 3.

And they all got started more than 30 years ago, so are ineligible for this discussion, per the OP.
But yeah. I love Ronnie and Bruce. I like Rob, but heβs not quite on the other twoβs level, imho.

There isn't any. Fuck the fat bitch from England. She's pissed she's fat and can't get a man. To all the Voice and other nightly shows of the like, this is a pandering of cable subscribers who one, aren't paying for their subscriptions(someone else is) and two who gives a fuck?
