Why is it, that nowhere in this list do I see Leslie Fiest nor Regina Spektor? Granted, good thing you have Joan Baez In there...although she could be a bit higher, Thats ok. Also, even though studios are using melodyne everyday, still I dont like to overlook pop singers for their skill, and natasha bedingfield is actually fantastic.
