To understand how a ghospel singer crosses over into pop music successfully, delivering one of the best vocals imaginable, you need to listen to this! David Foster was hosting a night devoted to the children, featuring performances by Enrique Iglesias, Nick Carter, Josh Groban, Yoland Adams and Celine Dion. And it was arguably Yoland Adams who brought it all home with what may have been the best single performance of the night, I Believe I Can Fly. Watch the above video to see her ghospel infused version of the R Kelly classic.

Lost amongst the great pop and soul vocalists of all-time is Country music icon, Martina McBride. Few people are genuinely aware of just how incredible her voice is. With Broken Wing, she crossed over into the US and international mainstream. Subsequent hits included Concrete Angel, but it was her tribute to Tammy Wynette at the 2003 CMA's that really cemented her status as a truly great singer. Powerful, retaining the sentiment of the Wynette original, and emotional - this is one Country music performance you should definitely watch at least once in your life!

Sadly, most people will know of her 2009 version of this classic track. However, it is her 1980's interpretation of the track - rarely heard - that should go down in history as arguably the greatest vocal of that particular decade. Whitney had few contemporaries that could hang with her during the 80's, and this performance exemplified her star status. Its stripped back, raw and about as powerful as you'll ever hear - its a musical masterclass! The arrangement only exacerbates the emotion being emitted by this wonderful superstar
