who has his dwelling even within the stone,

Immortal God, he cares for all mankind,

Longest Words

(45) PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

(37) HEPATICO­CHOLANGIO­CHOLECYST­ENTERO­STOMIES = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.
This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.

(34) SUPER­CALI­FRAGI­LISTIC­EXPI­ALI­DOCIOUS = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.
It is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

"But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin' nose,
The biggest word you ever 'eard,
And this is 'ow it goes:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

(30) HIPPOPOTO­MONSTRO­SESQUIPED­AL­IAN = pertaining to a very long word.
From Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words.

(29) FLOCCI­NAUCINI­HILIPIL­IFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.
This is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocci­nauci­nihili­pilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­koniosis as the longest made-up one.

(28) ANTI­DIS­ESTABLISH­MENT­ARIAN­ISM = the belief which opposes removing the tie between church and state.
Probably the most popular of the "longest words" in recent decades.

(27) HONORI­FICABILI­TUDINI­TATIBUS = honorableness.
The word first appeared in English in 1599, and in 1721 was listed by Bailey's Dictionary as the longest word in English. It was used by Shakespeare in Love's Labor's Lost (Costard; Act V, Scene I):

"O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon."

Shakespeare does not use any other words over 17 letters in length.

(27) ELECTRO­ENCEPHALO­GRAPHICALLY
The longest unhyphenated word in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.), joint with ethylene­diamine­tetraacetate (see below).

(27) ANTI­TRANSUB­STAN­TIA­TION­ALIST = one who doubts that consecrated bread and wine actually change into the body and blood of Christ.

(21) DIS­PRO­PORTION­ABLE­NESS and (21) IN­COM­PREHEN­SIB­ILITIES
These are described by the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records as the longest words in common usage.

Some say SMILES is the longest word because there is a MILE between the first and last letters!

Chemical Terms

Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full.

This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

“Come on now....Annie should be in the top 10 for sure!
She posseses one of the most soulful voices ever. She is so admired and respected by her contemporaries. She is such a dynamic and powerful live performer. What a mark she has left on the musical landscape!”

“Could any of the above reach the notes in ’There must be Angel’ the way Annie does. I DON’T THINK SO!! This is the vote for the best female VOCALIST, not the best female who can get her picture in the magazines without even singing a note!!!”

“WHY ON EARTH IS THIS LADY NOT IN THE TOP TEN. I am shock and stunned. Annie has one of the best voices in the world, apart from whitney & Aretha. What is wrong with this world. Annie Lennox is better than, Mariah, Christina, HANNAH MONTANA (come on!) JLO, Ashlee Simpson, and almost all of the above. Get a grip people!!!! Think before you vote!!”

“Tammy was the "First Lady of Country Music" because she was the first woman singer to sell a million copies of an album. She actually sold more than five million copies of Stand By Your Man!

 82) Mary J. Blige

“Mary J Blige is the greatest R&B female singer since Whitney Houston .She should be in the top 10 for her amazins work she is phonomanal.”

“Mary J. is one of my favorites. Mainly becuase not only can she sing, with power and conviction, but she seeps emotion. When she sang "No more Drama" at the Grammy awards a few years back, even Celine Dion was standing up, clapping, shaking her head like, "this woman is amazin!" that is great. I love Mary J Blige style, and strength as a woman, and what she sings about in her lyrics. I will be buying her next album too.”

“i cut for her because she sings about real things and trys to make feel what she been through. Also it don’t always be about her she try to make it to where it can relate to most of the people in this world”

 84) Alanis Morrisette

“The best female rocker ever..Jagged Little Pill n Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie..”

hayreanmarjon

“It’s interesting to note the wide diversity of female singers we are comparing here. Some like britney are just froth and bubble, some are vocal gymnasts such as Whitney and Celine, some are out and out pop like Madonna. The fact is if you are really after the whole dynamic range that includes sensitivity, ballads and power rock, then there is only one beautiful star: Alanis. If you doubt here ’octave range’ try to hear ’’one’ live. It will make your hair stand on end.”

“There is no one to touch Alanis as a singer, she is awesome”

“The greatest female singer of all time - can sing any type of song from ballads to rock n roll. Her voice the most unique ever heard.”

“The best Country and Western singer that I’ve ever heard.”

“Most unfortunate that perhaps one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century gets so very little attention because the record companies can’t make any money off of her because she is dead.
Willie Nelson wrote the tune"Crazy"
that when he recorded it went bust.
She did it and it was a major crossover hit.
Many of the women mentioned in this list would give liberty and limb to have such talent.”

 91) Natalia Oreiro

 92) Giorgia Fumanti

“In my viewpoint,after having her CD and seeing her perform "Live" Giorgia definitely belongs here. You must hear her CD "From My Heart"”

Penguin45

“Her new Cd "From My Heart" is amazing showing off her immense talents and singing from Her Heart with such passion and love. I have seen her in Concert, too, and think she will soon be known to everybody as one of the greatest singers of all time.”

Penguin

“I saw her live, she serenaded me, and fell in love. The most beautiful, powerful and well controlled voice by far. Buy her CD, you won’t regret it... I had to. The only others even close are Celine Dion and Sara Brightman. All the women ranked above her don’t have the whole package. Take for examples, Sarah McLachlan: Sweet voice but not very powerful or as well controlled. Christina Aguillera: Powerful and well controlled, but not as sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I love these ladies too, especially because they have amazing song writing abilities too, but pure singing, they can’t compare with my lovely, the one, the only Giorgia Fumanti.”

“She isn’t even in the top 10?!

It is appalling that she is below such awful singers, though I must say, Whitney Housten can bring the house down and I’m glad she’s up there. But so many great singers are being denied their rightful title. Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, TINA TURNER should be up in the top 10. It enrages me that ETTA JAMES isn’t even on here. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous.

Just because Janis doesn’t sound like any mainstream no talant doesn’t mean she’s worthless. Her voice has soul and power and I just sit back in amazement whenever I listen to her voice. It’s raw and beautiful. She should be number one! You people have such poor musical taste, it makes me want to cry.”
