go go go go. just horrifying. terrifying. right. that was the intense scene in times square. i m don lemon. you can see poppy is here, kaitlan is off, lucky kaitlan, she s on assignment. good to see you. did you have a good new year s? i wore my sparkles for you. you were so good and sparkly in new orleans with your three children. it was great to be with family. you know that s everything over the holidays. we have to talk about what s happened over the new years. there was a new year s eve attack on police at times square just hours before midnight. who investigators have in custody. plus a one in a century floor fight looms as kevin mccarthy s speaker bid faces its final hurdle but will the concessions be enough to win over the never kevin crew. and the ph.d. student in criminal justice accused of killing four idaho students could be headed back to idaho soon. we have to start with this. new details coming in on the new year s eve machete attack in times
r-e-s-p-e-c-t and i will always love you and then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on you were listening to three of the top voices from rolling stones new list of 200 best singers of all time. topping the list, aretha frang, whitney houston. not on the list celine dion. what? they say they ranked the greatest singers by originality, depth of their catalog and breath of their musical legacy. there s plenty of room for
of them. that s crazy. people need to know the history of music, the history of these vocalists. what does that mean that drake outsells them? you can be a great rapper is not a great singer. i think people don t know the history of music. they don t buy catalog music before 1980. this list features people who recorded before 1980, people like robert johnson. great to see them out there, being part of the debate, part of the discussion. because people need to know about thei history of music, vocalists. i love the list. i love having this debate and i love talking with the history of music because it s important. i think that the list is not the worst thing ever. but i think that like you were thinking of artists now versus in 15, 20 years, it s hard to say that they are going to be,

to bring up these voices in this discussion shows the list a good idea even if it s missing key people. how did kelly clarkson is r ranked lower than taylor swift. don t mess with taylor swift. i love taylor. i m talking about singing. i m talking about voices. she has a voice she s fantastic, but. it communicates the ideas and emotions she s singing about. she s improved over time. she writes it. that s all well and good. but what does it have to do with singing and voices? can you compare elvis to luther van vandross? luther should be higher. please, guys. this is not just about voice, originality, influence, depth of
