Best Female Vocalist?

[Sydney]

I don't know anything about her everyday life, but yes has a killer voice

 

[kimmayyxo]

i think she has a good voice. but not a good personality.

 

[blossy c]

Shannon McArdle (The Mendoza Line) has an amazing voice... "Since I Came" is one of her best moments in my opinion.

 

[Monty S]

beyonce

 

[deadite21]

*Maybe* originally done by the Chantells*

I like George Pringle a lot too, mainly cuz she's hot!

Completely forgot about her until I was working on another post, but Brit and former Mick Jagger lover, Marianne Faithful is one soulful lady:

More recent:

Beautiful duet with West African singer, Ismael Lo:

Duet with Bowie--rendition of Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe"--not her best work, but funny and rare!:

[Oh yeah, that reminRAB me, Bowie is one of my favorite female artists, too (tee hee)...]

 

[xtreem_baseballer]

Shirley Manson (Garbage)
Karen O (YeahYeahYeahs)
Lady Gaga

those are my favorites

 

[hello!!]

Ella Fitzgerald

It doesn't have to be relatively current, does it?

 

[Marcelo]

Siouxsie Sioux even her side projects are top class

 

[Thorge]

stevie nicks and norah jones

 

[littledave]

Jenny Lewis and Karen O for me I think.

 

[Leo]

Diana's cool...and Laurie Anderson for influence on others...

 

[Chuckwalla]

wow!

 

[pedroeduardo]

The only ones I've heard from the above list are Dido,Zero 7 and Bjork, all of which I like a lot.

 

[Benniethebull]

i really like SGM but i think Carla's vocals are the low point of most of their albums. her violin definitely makes up for it though.

 

[Spanky...]

The girl from flyleaf.

 

[Al A]

Definately, her voice is so beautiful and haunting. First time I heard Starblood I had gooseburabs.

 

[Red Flag]

Hayley william - paramore....nothing more to say!!

or the women from Within Temptation

 

[iheartdancing97]

Hayley Williams. She has a pretty good voice. Love some of their songs.

It's always great to hear an artist that sounRAB the same live as they do on their CD. People like Gwen Stefani make me sick with her live singing. It's terrible.
