I know this isn't Queen related but which Female vocals do you enjoy? I enjoy Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLaughlan's voices very much. |

I dont really like female rock voices! There's a lack of good ones anyway in my opinion! I can tell you who i really dont like as a female singer - Courtney Love!!! |
| Poo, again 22.10.2006 12:18 |
Agnetha Fältskog is amazing. |
| 7 seas of Rhye 22.10.2006 13:07 |
I don't like female voices too much. |

-Heather Nova has a great voice, she sings great live too. -Joss Stone has a relaxed voice too. |

Speaking not of music but of great or at least good voices: Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey - I really love the sound of 'black' female voices. But Celine Dion and Agnetha of ABBA are also class singers amongst others that do not appear in my mind at the moment:) |
| unknown 22.10.2006 18:09 |
Oh yeah and naturally Aretha Franklin and her 'companions' from the 50s and 60s! |
| mystic_rhythms 22.10.2006 20:32 |
Some of my fave female vocalists: Debbie Harry Aimee Mann Annie Lennox Emmylou Harris (I bought All The Roadrunning, her album with Mark Knopfler; it's nice) |
| My Melancholy Blues 22.10.2006 20:40 |
Here are my fav. female vocalists: Ella Fitzgerald Emmylou Harris Linda Ronstadt Karen Carpenter Gloria Estefan Amy Lee |
| I♥The80's 22.10.2006 20:51 |
Cyndi Lauper Sarah Brightman ummmm that's all that comes to mind right now xD |
| mayniac316 22.10.2006 21:10 |
Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler, Amy Lee, Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Harry... There has to be more... |

maaaany! - MADONNA (i think her voice is great + totally unique) - TINA TURNER - BETTE MIDLER - CARLY SIMON - DONNA SUMMER ... ..and some of my favourites already mentioned: - ANNIE LENNOX - ENYA - BJÖRK - AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG what i really can't stand is the yodel-queen-type of singing like mariah carey, christina aguilera, shakira... plain physical-acoustic torture! |
| john bodega 23.10.2006 04:56 |
No Kate Bush yet? Granted... her voice gets on my nerves, but she has pretty impressive control over the sound she makes. |
| 7Innuendo7 23.10.2006 08:32 |
Pat Benatar...hello? songwriting skills! |
| The Real Wizard 23.10.2006 09:10 |
I love the raspy female voice, so my faves are Janis Joplin, Bonnie Tyler, Sass Jordan, and Melissa Ethridge. |
| Bohemian Rahpsody 23.10.2006 09:24 |
Mine would be Enya (for her work on Fellowship of the Ring), Annie Lennox (for her on Return of the King), Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerrald, Gwen Steffani, Amy Lee, Nelly Furtado, Faith Hill, and that's it. B.R |

I'm not a country western music fan, but every time I've heard Reba McEntire sing, I've gotten chills. She has some really good high notes. I saw her on a PBS special singing songs from South Pacific - and it was very good. |

I think P!nk is a very strong singer, also Tina Turner and Nina Hagen are very good... |
| FreMe 23.10.2006 12:55 |
Yeah, I agree with P1nk :D I've loved her for years! Olivia Newton John and the girl from Evanesence sings very good too :D |
| Monsieur Nobs 23.10.2006 14:20 |

I agree, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLaughlan are wonderful. Also Abra Moore, Jann Arden, Tori Amos, Kate Bush OBVIOUSLY, Kate Rusby, Tina Arena, and Sam Brown's solo stuff. You should all check out Beth Neilsen Chapman and Shawn Colvin too. |
| Dan C. 25.10.2006 07:55 |
Here are a few female singers that I have quite a bit of respect for: Anni-Frid Lyngstad Agnetha Fältskog Ann & Nancy Wilson Annie Lennox Stevie Nicks Pat Benatar Chrissie Hynde Susanna Hoffs Montserrat Caballe More later... |

Yes, Rogie does have a great raspy voice, but I do believe he has a male organ, which puts him out of this category. |

I like Annie Lennox and Joss Stone but i cant stand Madonnas voice for some reason (i apologise if i offend anyone), I think Madonnas so over rated! |

The only reason why Madonna has a career is because sex and controversy sell a lot more than talent, and Madonna knows perfectly well how to exploit the media to keep putting her in the spotlight. The other reason why Madonna sells records is... GAY PEOPLE. Seriously speaking people like Madonna, Cher, and Liza Minelli owe everything to gay people. If it wasn't for them they would be crack whores making a living out of desperate guys. |

Great choices, of course Kate, Dusty, Billie, but JANIS JOPLIN?!?!? Give me a break. When I see old footage, all I see is some smelly, hairy, raspy, unkempt woman, who probably just downed a fifth of Jack. I will never understand what was the allure she brought to the dirty, scroungy, hippies at the time, but probably because she looked the most "obtainable". |

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Tori Amos-I mean have you ever heard her cover version of Zeppelin's "Thank You"? Granted she could use someone who might rein her in when she goes way off on a tangent on occasion, but her vocals can be beautiful. |
