I think to say someone is the best singer they have to actually sing. Eminem might write lyrics that people can relate to, but by far one of the best singers of our time is Whitney Houston.

The Peruvian singer Yma Sumac was one of my favorites.

I can't tell you who the best singer is because I don't know, but my personal favorite singer is Celine Dion.

But your question raises an interesting consideration to which I have given a lot of thought. When one considers the "best" talent for any given vocation we tend to think of people who have already achieved levels of greatness in their particular fields; however, this does not address how many people WOULD have been the best had the circumstances of their lives been different. I often wonder how many Einsteins, Pavarottis, da Vincis, or Lincolns have been born but whose lives never directed them to the greatness they might have achieved had their circumstances been different.

I have a feeling that the best singer who ever lived may have already lived or may be alive right now but has not or ever will be discovered, and the best president or prime minister a nation might have ever had may be laying drunk in a gutter somewhere even as I type this simply because that person's life, as a result of fate, was never channeled into its proper destiny. You know, there is good material for a book here. Maybe you were destined to take this idea and write a novel which would make you a world celebrity .... *wink*.
