Top 10 Entertainers of All Time

We often think of Musicans and which is the best, so I have come up with a list, of 10 Musicians who I believe are the greatest entertainers of all time.

Before we get strated, a special number 11 will be added...and that is George Ezra. Coming on to the music scene in 2014 was hard, having to follow artist's such as Sam Smith and Taylor Swifts continuing rising, but Ezra is amazing, he has a strong voice, and he is charastmatic. This young fella out of the United Kingdom has a big future ahead of him

Let's get the Top 10 started...!


10. Michael Buble
       With a great voice and a talent for singing twists of Jazz and Pop, Michael Buble starts the list off. Born on September 9th, 1975 in Burnaby, Canada, Buble grew up with a small family of fishermen, but, in 2005 Buble achieved his first number one hit: Caught in the Act. After countless awards and countless Number One hits…Michael Buble is still going strong. He starts off my list because of his amazing vocals, and his charismatic way of entertaining a crowd.

9. Ed Sheeran
    Born on the 17th of February, 1991, Ed Sheeran has one of the best clear crisp voices today. After busking in the streets of London, he produced his first EP in 2005, called The Orange Room. Nearly 10 years later he achieved his first number one hit in the United States, Thinking out Loud. Sheeran is now on a world wide Stadium tower and will be landing his vocals and his guitars in Australian shores in November/December (for the second time this year!)

8. Ella Fitzgerald
    Born in Virginia, United States on the 25th of April, Ella Fitzgerald, or the First Lady of Jazz, paved the way for not only female singers, and not only jazz singers, but for black singers, making her great vocals, with a big and powerful voice heard by everyone. Ella would entertain crowds for 20 years and her Christmas album is still a favorite for thousands of fans each year.

7. John Denver
    Denver, born in Roswell, United States, on December 31st 1943, had numerous number hits, and his ‘country’ voice helped shaped country music. Denver’s most popular song would have to be Take me Home Country Roads. Denver has shaped the way that country music is performed and received for all generations.

6. Sam Smith
    Born in the United Kingdom, London at aged 23, Sam Smith is the voice of my generation. With his MEGA hit Stay With Me, Sam Smith was shot into stardom. His counter tenor voice, changed the way we listen to music from the tenor range to a higher pitched voice. Smith is still producing hit songs including I’m Not the Only One and Like I Can. Smith will not only have success now, but forever. 

5. Justin Timberlake.     
    With his Michael Jackson dance moves, and his crisp clear voice, JT is the number five on my list. His career started with teen band NSYNC, and, in 2000 he started his solo career. Timberlake’s voice and incredible dance moves always gets the crowd to their feet and always entertains. JT will go down as one of the best entertainers of his generation.

4. Robbie Williams
    Born on February 13th, 1974 in Stroke-on-Trent, United Kingdom, Robbie Williams started his music career with the pop group ‘Take That’ from 1990-1995. Then, in 1996, he started a solo career. With his big hit, Let Me Entertain You, Robbie continued to produce hits. He also produced a Jazz/Swing album, Swing When You’re Winning, which found him a whole new fan base. With his great vocals, and his charismatic style, he is always making the crowd happy and energized. Robbie’s musical career will continue for many years to come due to his energy and vocal skills.

3. Mariah Carey
     In 1990 Carey rose to stardom with her first album: Mariah Carey. This album made the world realize what a fantastic and diverse voice she has. Mariah Carey is not only the most successful female recording artist of all time, but she has one of the best vocals of all time, of both males and females. Her skill to involve the crowd in her performances makes her number three on this list. Carey will continue to make music, and will always be a legend of the music industry.


2. Freddie Mercury
    When people think of musicians, the front man of Queen, Freddie Mercury must come to mind. With his incredible vocals, scaling an amazing EIGHT octaves and his incredible piano playing skills, Freddie is one of the greatest musicians of all time. Not only is he one of the greatest musicians, he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time, always making the crowd stay on their feet, and always inspiring thousands. Freddie’s music skill and entertaining skills puts him at number two.

1. Michael Jackson'
    I believe that there will never be a singer, musician, and entertain like Michael Jackson ever again, or, for a long time at least. MJ's hits, MJ's dance moves, MJ's charismatic skill puts him at number one on my list of Top 10 Entertainers. Thank You Michael.
