After Rolling Stone recently updated their 200 Greatest Singers of All Time article, everyone was furious after not seeing a particular singer on the coveted list.
While many of the artists included in the Top 10 placements deserved it, what seemed to be missing from the mix was perhaps one of the t vocalists in recent memory - Celine Dion.
Calling it the "greatest snub" by many fans on social media, everyone egged the publication for the dubious miss of placing Dion on the 200 lists.
Some even pointed out that other artists who were included weren't even of the same caliber as Dion, who's voice and sheer talent filled arenas worldwide.
To date, Dion has already racked up over 800 million dollars for her two Las Vegas Residencies alone. She has established herself as one of the greatest singers of all time with her jampacked-concerts, chart-topping singles and albums, and even the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest way back in 1988.
After sternly pointing out that Celine Dion even deserved to be at the top of the list, not Aretha Franklin, or even just to be on the Top 5, some fans have argued that Taylor Swift, who was placed 102nd greatest singer of all time, was "undeserving" to be on the list if Dion wasn't there.
Some fans have stormed to Twitter to point out Swift's placement on the charts:
"It's a very great joke to see her in this list and Bob Dylan too while Celine was not included despite the fact she's part of the vocal trinity with Whitney and Mariah," a user commented.
"Taylor is talented and I like her but come on..she's not known for vocals. No Celine? Please..." another pointed out.
"Love her, but we all know the hellfire that would've rained down had she NOT been on the list is the reason she's on it. She's a phenomenal lyricist, and her vocals have improved so so much, but this isn't a list of most improved singer, it's greatest singers OF ALL TIME," someone said.
While it has not been disclosed what Rolling Stone's parameters are on choosing the artists to be included in the list, some netizens are also complaining about Michael Jackson's lower placement on the list, ranking only 86.
As of this writing, Dion, on the other hand, has not yet addressed the issue.
