(Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Adele)

We asked…and boy did you answer!  With a whopping total of over 12,000 votes, the faithful fans of Adele, Beyonce, Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Jazmine Sullivan, and Rihanna more replied in droves to support their favorites in this vocal contest.

One of our best yet, we asked ‘Who is the Vocal Bible of this generation’?  Who is, so to speak, the textbook of vocal prowess for this generation and those after it to follow?

Trailing the steps of legends Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and more, the divas selected for this showdown have proven themselves to be at the top of their respective games – showing off a range, power, and control absent from many of their chart competitors.

Without further adieu, your choice for vocal supremacy awaits:

Indeed, despite #Fighters pulling out all the stops to hoist their fave to the top in the battle of the vocal beasts (to much success during most of the contest), it appears the #Starz shone brightest in this showdown – rocking the vote to give B-Rocka approximately 44% total.

Beating the likes of Jazmine Sullivan, Beyonce, and more, fans of the soon-to-be Mrs. Press certainly cite the contralto’s skillful combination of powerful belts, acute melismatic showings, and incomparable use of her lower register as reason she should wear the crown of ‘VB’.

Nearly 20 years since her debut, the ‘Put It  Down’ diva has apparently been putting it down long before she became a household name.  Take a look at baby Brandy tearing it up below:
