Speaking of, which face of the Earth did The Veronicas fall off of? Lolita was cute but got little to no play here. D:
Also, testing.

I just finished Spring Breakers and I lahved it, such a beautiful cast
i was SCREAMING at selena gomez though. Even in a film about sex, drugs and shooting people she comes across as an innocent little girl
not Vanessa Hudgens though. She was one bad bitch
Clearly Zac Efrons peen is more corruptible than Beiebers
Oh and the Britney bits were great
I wanted to see it so bad in theaters, I need that Blu-Ray.

Oh. I know, I missed my opportunity, too. People were mean to me so I stopped doing it, and now there's nothing to receipt stan.
Don't worry, the last time Mimi dropped her first single that didn't go top 10, we were blessed with The Emancipation of Mimi. No doubt that is what's about to happen again.
I hope so. She hasn't disappointed me yet.

I had to grow into It's Like That, but Beautiful had me from the beginning. I do wish Beautiful would crack the top 10. It certainly deserves it over the likes of come and get it, that Florida Georgia line garbage, and just give me a reason.
Cruise shits all over beautiful. You tried.

There's already a Mimi song in the top ten right now
Did she really have something to do with Adrianna's the way? Other than the possibility of background vocals I don't know if she did. I guess that must be the reason why I like the song so much.

Not that I know of, it's just a complete Mariah homage vocally.
That was shade, dear.

Vicious.
Of course not. It's probably referencing her current appearance.

Oh wow, I listened to that song before and never knew Ke$ha wrote it. :O I like it so much more now.
When "Lolita" came out I thought it was so great. I was on the verge of stanning for them, but then time went on and I kind of forgot about them. Such a shame since they are really quite talented. Maybe there's still hope that they'll release a new single and finally get an album out of the door.
I'm only really interested in how you rank those two, but you can rank everyone if you want.

I hope Mumei ranks Kelly high. Perched for the rankings.
I'm not even going to do that to the Queen or the dearly departed. In 2013, I'd say:
- Beyonce
- Patti
- Mariah
- Kelly
- Adele
- Christina
Leona Lewis

Can't lie, therefore this.
See...this is how I know that Mumei's shade is really just "tough love."
Deep down...he wants to stan. *.*
I heard that song for the first time yesterday. I use it, in spite of the obvious use of production to make those high belts work.
Oh, and regarding your criticism, I'll just say that I was emphasizing singing well even if you aren't in the best voice. Christina, Kelly, and Adele are all more flawed singers - as musicians (well, maybe not Miss Patti, but Miss Patti's voice is a phenomenon and her production is top-notch so we'll forgive her excesses) and in terms of correct production - than the other three.
Is there a serious argument for her vocals being worse than anyone I ranked below her?

...nah
Although, I'm a bit on the fence with Kelly.
Is it weird that Kelly kind of reminds me of Patti in a way? In the sense that she has this remarkable persistence in her vocals. She sings with such power, but you don't really get the feeling that she's compromising much to do it. Like, you get the sense that 10-15 years from now she could sing with just as much range and ability.
But she lacks a certain elegance. For all of her power she doesn't have the smooth phrasing or intricate interpretive ability of Adele, or Leona, or even Christina, and certainly not Mariah. And these are all the qualities that make people rank Aretha higher than Patti, even though Patti's voice has held up MUCH better.
Kelly's the vocal equivalent of a bulldozer...but I actually mean that in a good way, I guess?

In 2013, I'd rank them similarly:
1) Beyonce
2) Patti
3) Kelly
4) Patti
5) Adele
6) Christina
But ranking them at their most ultimate highs:
1) Patti
2) Christina
3) Mariah
4) Kelly
5) Beyonce
6) Adele
Eat it up, and crown it.

Least we can agree that Adele's a shitty vocalist whose talent is harshly overrated...

...you know, you could have just posted a link to Hometown Glory.
My favorite Adele song, though.

Because if you don't she'll cut off your dick with her hair.Why are people ranking prime Patti over prime Mariah ?
Er, no. Mariah's best live vocals in 2012/13 have been her performances of I'll Be There which contain too much improvisation and playing off one another to be lipped or prerecorded. Or you could pick singing random songs at concerts; she sounded fantastic on Love Takes Time. She is in good shape up through her midbelt; it's only around D5 that she consistently starts to sound scratchy and even then she has her good moments. And frankly the Idol performance - which has undubbed audio available on the interwebs - is better than anything she's done in years.
Her performance of All I Want for Christmas Is You on Fallon was nice because she sang the song in its original key (something she didn't do in Tokyo 1996) and pulled it off, but it wasn't a comfortable performance.
Adele is, as Soulscribe said, a shitty vocalist who has a pedestrian voice. I don't disdain her ability to emote a song or her musicianship, though. Kelly has a tiny voice, but generally knows her limits. You can tell when she's trying too hard because she starts to sound strained and scratchy as she gets loud - or "small voice trying iT" teas. A good example of that from another singer is Celine's loudest belts in O Holy Night. Kelly is also only particularly good within that very limited range (middle fourth to middle fifth) octave; above that she is pinched. She has also never had Mariah's easy legato - and doesn't even have 2013 Mariah's fluidity.
And Patti does clock. That poor child getting shown up like that.
