whose voice do you truly adore??


Mine would be:

Katie Melua
Sarah McLachlan
Amy Lee - Evanescence
Alizee
Katy Perry


Then i also quite like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus..

We seem to have a fair bit of overlap (although I can't stand that Smiley Virus) But anyway, here's my current top 5. Of course this list is in constant flux but Katie Melua and Dido will probably always be near the top.

Katie Melua
Dido
Sia
Alizee
Amy LaVere

Aag OK, why not post a video of each. These are the songs which brought each of these artists to my attention.

Joss Stone
Stevie Nicks
Karen Carpenter
Selena Gomez
Adele

Angela Gossow - Arch enemy

Siouxie sioux (dunno how you spell it anymore)
Karen Carpenter
Nina Hagen
Maria Callas
grace slick

I forgot to mention 2 that are bubbling under the top 5, voice more than music

Sade
Indie Arie

She's really good, but she scares me though ?

Jewel
Christina Aguilera
Whitney Houston (Back in the day...)

Amy lee
The goose from Guano Apes
Mariza
Nina hagen
Alanis morisette
Joan jett
Tori amos

not so much sure of the order, but here goes:

Grace Slick (of The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, solo)

=

Elena Tonra (of Daughter)

=

Chantel Van Tonder (of La Vi, a new SA band, so no videos yet )

Sannie Fox (of Machineri, another SA band). She's great live - video doesn't really do her justice.

=

Joni Mitchell (Solo)

=

Tracy Chapman (Solo)

=

Emily Kokal (of Warpaint). Not great technically, but entrancing none the less.

=

Janis Joplin (of Big Brother and the Holding Company, etc and solo). For her balls.

I forgot about Amy Winehouse,,,
classic voice, pity she's left us.

Oh my hat... how could i have forgotten Dido, Dolores O'riordan, and Mama Cass.
The Mama's and Papa's also make it in my top bands ever list!

Most of my top 5 have been mentioned here already..


Here's one that hasn't. Lucy Rose. I love her vibrato, but I just wish that she'd belt it out sometimes..

Like! Thanks for sharing!

I really love that track. So cool being set in the park, and I laugh everytime I hear the kid scream towards the end
