Fergie and Nicole can carry a tune but they are not in the same league as the other three.
Mariah, then Beyoncé.

Presently, among these gals:
1/2. Beyonce/Christina (tie). Beyonce is one the most consistent vocalists, good lower register, maintains a gorgeous non-nasal/throaty tone in all ranges except for the far upper register, where she can get a bit whiney/slightly nasal. Good emotive ability, above average power. Christina has the strongest lower range, struggles with her upper register, has a fair at best head voice. One of the most versatile vocalists, unbelievable power, top notch in her emotive ability.
3. Mariah Carey (today)- still has one the best tone among vocalists with NO nasal/throaty tone in all ranges, tied with Christina for the lower register, struggles with upper register like Christina). Soulful voice, very emotive, good power, not too versatile. In her heyday, she would blow all these gals awa
4. Fergie- not even close to the other three. Her biggest weakness is consistency and tone. Fergie sings from her nose live over 25% of the time, making it hard for me to listen to her live. Does not sing from her diaphragm, has very little soulful qualities to my ear (and she tries to hard to sound soulful). Range is good, power is fair, versatility is decent.
5. Nicole- has a few good performances but that is about it. She is a very, very average vocalist among mainstream vocalists at best, IMO....
Pink, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson are all better than Mariah (today), Fergie, and Nicole.
I would rank those 5 gals:
1. Kelly Clarkson
2. Beyonce/Christina
3. Carrie Underwood
4. Pink

Mariah HAD the best voice. Right now, it's probably Christina.

Christina
Beyonce
Mariah
Nicole
Fergie
Christina and Beyonce are far above the rest here, today (Mariah was best in her prime, though). I think Christina has a far superior voice to Beyonce, but she just uses it so ineffectively the gap is narrowed considerably.

1. Christina
2-3. Nicole (underrated, b@tch can BLOW)/Beyonce
4. Mariah
5. Fergie
Other - Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson could blow them all off the stage, save for Christina.

Christina and Beyonce are definitely well and above the others right now. Though, Carey held her own during her prime.

While making this I would've said
1. Christina
2. Fergie/Beyonce
3. Nicole/Mariah
but I started looking at vs videos on youtube and in one Fergie beats Christina (it might've been chosen videos, but still). In another one I feel like Christina beats Beyonce, but Beyonce's sound much more smoother and it seems like she tries less to achieve it so it was pretty much a tie for me. I saw a Nicole/Fergie vid and Nicole is better than I though, but Fergie took it as well. Mariah in her prime was great, but now I think she ranks last with all these.
So now I rank them like this
1. Christina/Fergie/Beyonce
2. Nicole
3. Mariah

At her prime, Mariah hands down.
Presently, Christina but Beyonce has really improved and has a chance of surpassing her.

1. Beyonce
2. Xtina(she actually seems underated on this board, alot of hate for her voice and singing skills)
3. Fergie/Mimi
4. Nicole Sherzinger
But old school Mimi in her prime could outblow them all.

The 90s Mariah would have won this one for me. 2000 Christina would have won. Now, if we're talking specifically about 2009 voices, I think Beyonce would win. IDK.

Haven't you seen any of Mariah's recent live performances in Vegas? She is obviously on top of all the others ;)

I think Nicole's voice is underrated. People just don't take her seriously, which is a shame because she's actually a great singer.

I vote for Christina. She can pretty much do it all... sing softly, belt it out, rock out... in the studio and on stage.
Beyonce has a good voice but it's just a little too tinny.
Mariah was great in her prime... but how long did that last? I mean, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn sounded great in their sixties so c'mon, the fact that Mimi's no longer a spring chickie is not a great excuse. Still love her though, I own all of her albums BTW.
Fergie and Nicole are quite okay.

How can you even put Fergie and Nicole in this category.
Beyonce, Christina and Mariah have good voice and they can actually sing.
Mariah all the way, Mariah from 90's - no one can beat that, just perfection.
I like Beyonce's and Christina's as well though i find Christina's iritating sometimes.
