Like all good list-making, it contained some undeniable truths (Aretha Franklin topped the poll) and some provocative decisions to get the people going. Celine Dion fans, for example, were so outraged by her not making the list in any capacity that they <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/celine-dion-fans-protest-rolling-stone-greatest-singers-list-1234657054\/\">protested outside the publication&#8217;s offices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            In addition to Dion&#8217;s fans, the list has also riled Chaka Khan, who landed at No.29 on the final list, sandwiched between Hank Williams and Mahalia Jackson. Khan was asked about her position in a new interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lamag.com\/culturefiles\/exclusive-chaka-khan-revives-mary-j-blige-feud-dunks-on-adele-and-mariah-carey\/\">The Originals podcast<\/a> and her response was refreshingly undiplomatic, taking shots at her peers, some of the younger artists who were placed higher than her, and those involved in compiling the list. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know what the hell you were talking about, so obviously this don\u2019t mean a great deal to me,\u201d she told host Andrew Goldman. \u201cThese people don\u2019t quantify or validate me in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Once she started hearing names and numbers, however, Khan&#8217;s interest was piqued. In Khan&#8217;s view, Joan Baez was lucky to scrape in at No.189 (\u201clet\u2019s be honest, the bitch cannot sing. Now, she was a good writer.\u201d) Mariah Carey&#8217;s No.5 spot, meanwhile, was dismissed as &#8220;payola or some shit like that.\u201d As for Adele (No.22) Khan&#8217;s response was a curt: &#8220;I quit.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            It was Mary J. Blige, however, for whom Khan reserved the most outrage. Blige&#8217;s No.25 spot, a crucial four positions above her own, led the &#8220;Ain&#8217;t Nobody&#8221; singer to say of those responsible for the decision: \u201cThey are blind as a motherfucking bat! They need hearing aids\u2026These must be the children of Helen Keller!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Of course, this isn&#8217;t the first time Mary J. has been criticized by Khan, who reportedly referred to the former&#8217;s 1992 cover of &#8220;Sweet Thing&#8221; as &#8220;the song Mary J. Blige fucked up.&#8221; Khan acknowledged that on The Originals, saying they had since patched up their differences. &#8220;She and I have that kind of relationship we can talk&#8230;you know, I love her. She loves me. We don\u2019t have a problem. Now the press would love to make it a motherfucking problem.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-243385\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
