Best Female Singer? - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

This really shows how out of touch I am with modern music. I've not heard of many of these singers. But on the other hand, I still like listening to Carly Simon and Linda Ronstadt. And I'm also a fan of Delores O'Riorden of the Cranberries and Sinead O'Connor. (She's lived in controversy but has a wonderful voice).

I love Carly Simon's voice! As for Sinead, she does have a lovely voice and not many people I know has a face so beautiful as to withstand a close up for so long!

Poly Styrene from the X-ray Specs

and I think she was only 13 or something but that chick could sing.

Oh yeah and Kate Pierson from the B-52's

Alanis Morissette. She has great lyrics, and has clearly grown through her music. The emotion behind each song hasn't been lost on her throughout the years, and her range is incredible.

Some others I want to mention are Melissa Etheridge, Sarah McLachlan, Madonna, Enya, Lucy Lawless (I love her voice), Annie Lennox, Norah Jones (my brother refers to hers as a "dark chocolate" voice), Tori Amos, and both of the Indigo Girls. I'm surprised some of these haven't been mentioned earlier, because they all have amazing talent.

Tarja Turunen (ex Nightwish), Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil), Mama Cass, Ella Fitzgerald.

There are plenty more I can mention but the list would get to long.

Yma Sumac - the vocal range that Mariah Carey wishes she had
Diamanda Galas - very scary and powerful
Tori Amos - I've seen her live five times
Imani Coppolla - where is she now?
and all the obvious greats of the past

All good singers. However I was shocked to see that nobody had mentioned Stevie Nicks!! She was and still is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest female vocalist who has ever lived.

Adasunshine · 14th October 2006, 08:02 PM

Ah Stevie Nicks!

Good choice!

*floats off to find Fleetwood Mac CD's*

Vanessa Paradis, anyone? Savages.

mightymem · 15th October 2006, 12:48 AM

Kylie Minogue I cannot believe no one has put her on their list she is my favourite singer

manephelien · 16th October 2006, 03:49 PM

Tarja Turunen, Annie Lennox, Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, Patricia Kaas, Stevie Nicks, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and one personal favorite, who so far is rather unknown, Allison Crowe.

Lacedaemonian · 16th October 2006, 04:46 PM

Allison Crowe. Did she sing a cover of Hallelujah? If you have it then feel free to send it to me.

manephelien · 16th October 2006, 05:26 PM

She did, and you can download it yourself for free on her website.

I really like Ella Fitzgerald, very few come even close.

I've recently begun to really enjoy the music of India's film industry which awes a lot to the voice of Alka Yagnik. I've seen several different faces singing with her voice in Bollywood movies.
