Dion is often regarded as one of pop music's most influential vocalists. According to Linda Lister in "Divafication: The Deification of Modern Female Pop Stars", she has been described as a reigning "Queen of Pop" for her influence over the recording industry during the 1990s, alongside other female artists, including Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. In a countdown of the "22 Greatest Voices in Music" by "Blender Magazine" and MTV, she placed ninth (sixth for a female), and she was also placed fourth in "Cover Magazine"'s list of "The 100 Outstanding Pop Vocalists". Dion is often compared to Houston and Carey for her vocal style, and to her idol Barbra Streisand for her voice.
