[Music] Best female vocalist ever

[Me and my Monkey]

Kirsty MacColl is my fave. She had an honest voice.

 

[Flounce]

Plenty I’d potentially choose have already been mentioned. I’ll give a shout out to Amy Winehouse for her song delivery as well as the voice. Good songwriter too, which not too many female vocalists are.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Kim Wilde, or Toyah.
























Nah, Stevie Nicks for ‘popular’ music, just so versatile.

 

[junior]

Emma Bunton.

 

[darkwolf666]

I am a little surprised nobody has mentioned Dolores O'Riordan...

So I shall remedy that - another to add to the gone too soon list...!

 

[jcdenton08]

Well it’s clearly Madonna isn’t it.

 

[Hometownglory]

Whitney Houston.

No need for a poll. Watched something on BBC2 tonight which reminded me of:

The pure and crystal clear voice of the late, great Karen Carpenter.

She had a lovely voice. I loved Sandy Denny's voice.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Honey G.

 

[Clive Walker]

Posh spice

 

[Eeyore]

Eva Cassidy

 

[Gabbafella]

Posh spice

According to a lot of people she's a bit of a slapper. Rarely thinks of her husband during sex.

This is a bit off-piste for the music crowd on this board,... but Lady Ga Ga.... gasp!!!

I never realised how powerful her voice was until I heard this track some years back.... live acoustic version of Joanne.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It’s a very subjective thing and favourites can change depending on who I’m listening to at any one time and/or who has an album out etc. At the moment I’d say Julia Holter.

 

[aolstudios]

Roberta Flack, Grace Slick or Nina Simone.

Top choices

 

[aolstudios]

No offense but I just can't stand Karen Carpenter. Has to be Aretha for me.

Both great.
Try another listen

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Dusty

 

[raymondo]

Roberta Flack, Grace Slick or Nina Simone.

Roberta Flack singing Tryin' Times... superb

Ridiculously talented human.
Underrated because stuff

 

[WATFORD zero]

For me, Dusty or Chrissie Hynde
