Who's your favorite female singer?

[kuys]

Monique Ortiz from Bourbon Princess and A.K.A.C.O.D. would be my favorite. Her soul-full voice makes me melt.

Emmylou Harris!

I've never heard angels sings but it has to be somewhat similar!

 

[FilterFunk]

Chaka Khan. I love the way she takes her vocals from sweet to sassy, and from soft to powerful. "Tell Me Something Good" and "Sweet Thing" still make me melt.

Right now it's Kari Jobe...

All time? I dunno. I love Amy Seeley but not necessarily just because her voice is that incredible (it's not). Amy Lee is pretty ace.

I guess Allison Krause and Kari Jobe?

 

[KJung]

Shawn Colvin and Jonatha Brooke are tied for first with me.

 

[knigel]

Neko Case. And a close second--I love Joni Mitchell.

 

[snyderz]

Kate Bush fan here.

 

[cnltb]

Dalbello is the first that comes to mind...

 

[DiabolicLow B]

Anastacia & Alicia keys...

 

[Sonicfrog]

This girl! What a sweet voice..... And she lays down a nice bass line too!

 

[Zombbg4]

Imogen Heap.

[Chasarms]

Martina McBride.

 

[stoolpigeon]

Paula Cole and Annie Lennox

There are so many great female singers, there's Suzanne Vega, Joni Mitchell, there was Nina Simone, who was the reason I started listening to jazz music as a kid...
Then, after all, I have to say for me personally the most beautiful woman with the sexiest voice is only one: SADE ADU

 

[somegeezer]

That's a hard decision really. I like female vocals a ton more than male vocals. =P I think at the moment, I'll go with Sylvya NuVynska in Scarlet Sins.

 

[Din Of Win]

The singer in MY band, obviously...

*looks around*

Ok, ok...

Kim Shattuck from the Muffs is my all time favorite female vocalist!!




Other faves: Alison Shaw (Cranes), Bilinda Butcher (My Bloody Valentine), Julie Xmas (Battle of Mice/Made out of Babies), Karen Andersson (Honey is Cool/Fever Ray/The Knife), Dee Dee Sharp, Sharin Foo (the Raveonettes), Gladys Horton (The Marvelettes), and Bjork.

 

[ThatGermanDude]

Imogen Heap.

This. Her appearance with Jeff Beck is absolutely fantastic.

 

[PaulMacCnj]

Shirley Manson (Garbage)
Kristina Train
Carly Simon
Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac)
Tracy Chapman


Sorry, I could not pick just one!

 

[Jeff Roller]

I'm not a HUGE country fan, but Jennifer Nettles has some awesome pipes. Awesome everything else too, very sweet smile!
