Objectively in terms of vocal ability?
Historically?
Off the top of of my head Mariah Carey and Freddie Mercury are near the top of any list
Today?
Lady Gaga by a fucking mile, as for the guys I'm not sure.
Hayley Williams has a better voice than Lady Gaga lol. I can't imagine Lady Gaga singing Decode or Brick By Boring Brick
Ronnie James Dio and Anneke von Giersbergen.
Admittedly there are some females you could argue are slightly better vocalists (if only because Gaga rarely show cases her talent, and honestly it is wasted in her usual choreography), but Hayley Williams is not one of them.

Hayley has a 4 octave range and Lady Gaga has maybe 3 at best but I guess it is possible she could be better than Hayley, I don't really listen to Lady Gaga
