Who has the most soul out of these singers?

So my question is out of this list which white singer has the most soul. I'm not being racist or offending a race I do like these artists I'm mentioning. 1. Christina Aguleria 2. Justin Timberlake 3. Leona Lewis 4. Mariah Carey 5. Robin Thicke 6. Pink (if you listen to those slow song she sings she can sound like a black person) 7. Joss Stone 8. Jamiroquai(they were this group back in the 90's that sung "virtual insantity" remember that video with the moving couch and floor).

Jon B paved the way for Robin Thicke and JT definitely underrated. Mariah Carey is by far the best singer out of your picks. I'm surprised you didn't mention Jon B.

Mariah I just can't like since her sister is literally a hooker. As was she allegedly. Lol freaking white people. I am pretty white but I gotta say I am not a fan of any of those people.

She's probably one of the best white R&B singers but I don't know if I'd give her the soul. On top of that, I don't know Robin Thicke at alll. I'd probably go with Jon B as I think he's true to his music, and another one people might not agree with, but I'm all for, is Richard Marx. He did a lot of work with Luther (co-wrote Dance With My Father) and has some great weight behind him. Though I guess if we're talking still big, I'll play the Jon B card. Maybe Aguilera, she always seems on the cusp and has moved more towards the soul from her pop roots. I think Mariah sold her soul to get popular again so I can't vote for her here.

I loved his work as an artist (have his cd and all), but wasn't sure how you guys would feel about him so I tried to focus on his R&B credentials :) Hah, glad you're feeling me on the Richard Marx.

How about these guys: Michael Bolton and Michael McDonald. I heard my dad play Michael McDonald and I thought he was a black guy untill my dad said that is a white man.

Guy has mad range. I like his cover of "Reach out I'll be there" Michael McDonald is a beast! I'm a fan of him and the doobie brothers. Something about his voice is so calming.

Nah! they may even have better voices, take Josh Groban for ana instant he is a tenor and can hits pitches none of our beloved singers can but as for soul no way, so i have to disagree with all of you guys on this one, and Johnny my man you are trapped in this white body suit like i am? Just kidding and it's no shame to admit the truth, and may you all have merry holidays.

White on the outside, black on the inside :). But regardless, while there's no arguing that white people suck hard at basketball, I think a few are able to field their own in the realm of soul. A lot of the trouble is that they do it in different genres than R&B. Hah. It's like the line from the movie. "You listen to the music but you don't hear it."

Anyway as I was saying we on the other hand (whites) suck at R&B and we should admit it, so let us stick to the Genres we can excell in period. And JT reminds me of a cat scratching on glass and the others suck at live performances except for Mariah who is the closest thing to R&B and by the way Leona Lewis should not be on this list as she is of Afro-Caribbean descent from her father's side.
