Best Female Vocalists ("Alive" now removed)

[Darts]

It seems everybody has their own favourite list. Here below is my short list in random order. It is based on the quality of their voice and content and not on their record sales (popularity). Also, how they look naked (just kidding?). I disregard popularity because too many people like crap.

Judy Collins
Yvonne Elliman
Jackie Evancho

Stevie Nicks (maybe not anymore)
Debbie Harry (see above)
Sarah McLachlan

Hard to fuck up that song. Props for trying but they missed the plot with the guitar breaks.

Texas seems to have a disproportionate amount of great musicians. Must be that hard assed environment.

 

[Mr. J]

While Ann Wilson is the main singer of Heart, you gotta give Nancy Wilson credit on the songs she did the lead vocals. Just as good, if not better. Also, gonna give Canada some love and put Lee Aaron on the list. Saw her live, and she can really belt it out.

 

[Justlookingatreviews]

Alicia Keys for me

 

[Mr Deeds]

Christina Aguilera

[onomatopoeia]

 

[Darts]

That's quite a list so far.

Sometimes for me it is just one signature song.
Judy Collins --- Amazing Grace
Yvonne Elliman --- I Don't Know How to Love Him
Jackie Evancho --- Star Spangled Banner

Judith Durham --- Waltzing Matilda

The best Canadian female singer IMO, K.D. LANG, her cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is the best I have ever heard. My fav American singers, Emmylou Harris, Allison Kraus and Linda Ronstadt (suffering from Parkinsons disease).

They're getting up there in years, but it is Anne Murray and Joni Mitchell for me.
