Title: Best female voices ? Post by: //JK75 on November 10, 2006, 12:59:45 AM Hi, I love rock n' roll in general, but maybe my other passion in music is female voices... R&B, pop, rock whatever...
I just love some great voices... Here are a few of my favorites these days... Joss Stone Natalie Merchant - Ex 10000 Maniacs Andrea Corr - The Corrs (of course) can you recommend more ?

She's got a great voice and is easy on the eye too : ok: -Greg Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Skeletor on November 10, 2006, 12:42:14 PM Anneke Von Giesbergen - The Gathering Oh yes, her voice is just beauty refined to its finest. Marcela Bovio is a singer similar to Anneke, she's awesome as well. Jennifer Warnes, who's worked and sang with Leonard Cohen, also has a personal and beautiful voice. You can for example hear her in Take This Waltz. Yet, my favorite female vocalist has to be Yma Sumac, a.k.a. Voice of the Xtabay. The five octave Peruvian marvel just pwns everyone else so hard. Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: CheapJon on November 10, 2006, 12:57:25 PM ...Sebastian Bach don't forget about michael jackson : ok: :hihi: Title: Re: Best female voices ?

Tori Amos Joss Stone Sinead O'connor Lisa Middelhauve - Xandria singer Norah Jones I think Tarja left the band but nightwish still goes, I've read somewhere else so, might be wrong though :confused: Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Lara on November 10, 2006, 01:46:02 PM Whitney Houston has the best voice ever.
Mariah Carey has a great voice, too, but her music sucks big time lately. Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Backslash on November 10, 2006, 02:16:39 PM I'll add Gloria Gaynor, Pat Benatar, Lee Aaron, Melissa Ethridge, Jewel, and Alanis Morissette to the list.
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: slash666 on November 10, 2006, 02:34:39 PM The one and only Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac, amazing singer, tends to be better live than in studio, shes awesome on studio albums aswell!

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Risico on November 10, 2006, 05:45:16 PM Shirley Manson - Garbage
Can't believe I haven't seen her mentioned yet (though I just skimmed the thread, so I may have missed it). Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: jc524 on November 10, 2006, 06:00:00 PM Ann Wilson of heart!
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: 25 on November 10, 2006, 07:12:09 PM Jessicka Fodera, from the tiny l.a. band "scarling." has a great voice. It was probably more rockish when she was in her former band, "Jack off Jill" (Managed by one Doug Goldstein, you might remember him from somewhere.)
And Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane/Starship. She was great. Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: CheapJon on November 10, 2006, 07:33:24 PM kelly osbourne.............
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: DEAD HORSE on November 10, 2006, 10:22:51 PM Janis Joplin
Alanis Madonna (maybe not the best voice, but the best melody) Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Dirty Little Thing on November 11, 2006, 02:03:41 AM Don't know if anyone's mentioned it int his thread but --- Christina Aguilera... I also like Amy Lee's voice.

She's got a great voice and is easy on the eye too? : ok: -Greg dude, she's like 16yrs old !!! :no: checkout flyleaf, they have a chick singer. they were great @ download Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: supaplex on November 11, 2006, 05:51:40 PM that guy isn't the only one mentioning courtney love, and what does nirvana has to do with anything, she's a great rock n roll singer there's one thing to be a rock n' roll singer and a totally different thing to have a great voice. and courtney can't compare to some ladies that were named here. it's about the voice not the rock n' roll attitude. and nirvana has a lot to do with courtney because a lot of nirvana fans got into hole just because they released an album one week after kurt died :no: and they sounded like nirvana so that's why they were successfull.Title: Re: Best female voices ?

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: jarvie_a on November 13, 2006, 05:16:15 PM I love Kelly Clarkson's Voice , she is great on record and amazing live too. Nina Gordon is great too, her cover of Straight Outta Compton is great and something GN'R could maybe do as a skit before Patience ! (Axl being a NWA fan)? ? :hihi:
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Skeletor on November 13, 2006, 05:39:18 PM Nina Gordon is great too, her cover of Straight Outta Compton is great Love it too, it's so soothing... :hihi: She should cover a whole album of theirs! Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: jarvie_a on November 14, 2006, 05:38:00 AM Nina Gordon is great too, her cover of Straight Outta Compton is great Love it too, it's so soothing... :hihi: She should cover a whole album of theirs! That would be awesome! Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: lennonisgod on November 15, 2006, 02:54:57 AM Jewel... the best female voice alive. Janis Joplin is also one of my favorites of all time. Tori Amos as someone said is a great singer. I like to take into account people that sing songs that they wrote themselves and that's another reason Jewel is top of the line. She can rock with the best of them as well and she's pretty fucking hot. I met her a few years back and she looked so perfect in person... she had a tiny blue sun dress on and she is so tiny herself. I have a thing for tiny chicks no offense to you big girls out there.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Charlotte Church. She has some fucking pipes on her and she can party with the best of them. I don't really get into her music at all but the girl can sing. There are some fantastic female voices out there and you guys have done a pretty good job at bringing up some of the best. Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: tippasaurus on November 16, 2006, 01:16:21 PM Nellie McKay
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Skeletor on November 16, 2006, 02:18:09 PM Nellie McKay Yay! Nellie McKay is pretty cool, glad to see her get some recognition :) Can't believe how young she is, considering how mature her albums are... Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Lolita on January 11, 2007, 02:28:38 AM Simone Simons (Epica) has an awesome voice
Christina Aguilera (how could one compare her with Britney ? :hihi:) Edith Piaf Courtney Love ( very raw, powerful , fi on Violet) Jessica Harper Whitney Houston Ella Fitzgerald Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: nightrain_jh on January 11, 2007, 02:48:05 AM of any of the female vocalists today no-one can touch christina aguilera.? her voice is just awesome.
also, I think Marion Raven has a great voice.? She proved it on her duet with meatloaf on his new album and her single is great. imo anyway Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: supaplex on January 11, 2007, 04:02:42 AM of any of the female vocalists today no-one can touch christina aguilera. her voice is just awesome. i'm surprised to see anyone knows marion in here. i prefer her ex-bandmate from m2m though, marit larsen ;Dalso, I think Marion Raven has a great voice. She proved it on her duet with meatloaf on his new album and her single is great. imo anyway Title: Re: Best female voices ?

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: von on December 31, 2007, 07:12:40 PM I agree with Marion Raven. Also glad to see her known in here. I like Melissa Auf der Maur's solo stuff. Hayley Williams (Paramore) does have an appealing rock voice -- and for the record, she's 19 now. And still just as hot :hihi:
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: mesha on December 31, 2007, 10:49:48 PM bonnie tyler has a amazing voice imo
Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Kujo on December 31, 2007, 11:15:59 PM It begins and ends with Neko Case for me. Check any of her solo work or in The New Pornographers.

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: fuckin crazy on January 01, 2008, 09:01:35 PM A couple that haven't been mentioned; Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris. Two different styles, but both are excellent vocalist. Emmylou's work with Graham Parsons is pure nirvana.

Post by: von on January 02, 2008, 02:02:42 PM Cristina Scabbia, yes ... I'm sorry I forgot her. For female metal singers, I'd throw in Nienke de Jong from Autumn. Also, Liv Kristine formerly from Theatre of Tragedy and now with Leaves' Eyes, which isn't to discredit Theatre's new singer Nell Sigland because I think "Storm" is one of their strongest albums. As for Nightwish, I prefer their new singer Anette Olzon and the direction they've been able to go in with her vocals.

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: fuckin crazy on January 07, 2008, 04:01:39 AM Natalie Merchant's sound is what defined 10000 Maniacs IMO. Love her stuff. Too, Sara Mclacllin is a very talented singer/songwriter. Another, that I can't remember her name, is the chick that sang for The Cranberries.

Too, Sara Mclacllin is a very talented singer/songwriter. Another, that I can't remember her name, is the chick that sang for The Cranberries. Deloras O' Riordan is the girl that sang with The Cranberries, she has a solo album out at the moment, she says The Cranberries will be recording a new album with her on vocals in the near future. Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: journey on January 16, 2008, 12:06:58 PM Nina Simone. She has a lot of soul and wisdom (if that's the right word) in her voice. When she sings it seems like she's lived it. Along with being a great female vocalist, I'd say she's one of the best singers of all time.

Title: Re: Best female voices ? Post by: Tatiana Kudrin on January 21, 2008, 09:42:45 AM Winehouse has a great voice indeed... I love her album. It's really sad she's allowing drama to dominate her life. She's a very talented woman who needs to learn about how to live her life without being dependant on men and circumstances. Her current situation actually raises an interesting question (among others) I think : can you be a great artist without suffering and having flaws ?
