Who is your favorite female singer?

Joni Mitchell, no contest.

 

as in Debbie Harry? yeh her voice is pretty sexy

 

~Janis Joplin
~Grace Slick
~Joni Mitchel
~Joan Baez
~Nico
~Nancy Nevins
~Laura Nyro
~Kate Bush
~Jewel

 

bjork, definetly.

 

Wanna know who is also good, but no one really gives her credit?-Melanie. She is really good. I wish I would have seen her at Woodstock,...damn age!!! Even my absolute favorite female singer, Janis Joplin, did covers of her songs!

 

My favourite female singer is Grace Slick from the Airplane, or Siouxsie Souix, or Suzi Quatro or Debbie Harry.

 

Lisa Gerrard. for those who dont know...download dead can dance.......

 

Not read the whole thread but PJ Harvey has got to be right up there surely, if not as a singer as a female artist, she's been very influential to a lotta people over the years

 

what a shit reason!! After all. she is a rock chick, a bit of craziness comes as standard. Maybe you could just listen to a cd of her r ather than watching her vids, although some of her recent live festival stuff jas been good and she was excellent on Jools holland recently too!! Let the hair thing go, forgive and move on!! lol

 

I love Norah Jone's voice very smooth

Also Janis Joplin and NIco

 

There are to many to chose from but here is 5 of them

#1 CHER
#2 Stevie Nicks
#3 Shania Twain
#4 Madonna
#5 Alanis Morrisette

tori amos
joan baez
tina turner
janis joplin
alanis morrisette
joni mitchell
deborah harry
lauren hill

Brenda Lee
Wanda Jackson
Donna Summer
Annushka Shankar (she's a sitar player actually)
Eliane Elias
India Area
my wife...

 

Changed my mind, Lauren Hill is my's favorite

 

probally Grace Slick, Janis Joplin and Sarah Mcloghlan ( i no i spelt that weird)

 

gotta be janis

 

björk. she's probably the only female singer i listen too.

 

I think it's Bebel Gilberto at the moment - I'm quite fickle when it comes to singers though.

 

Good point man, not into her racist rants of old but it wwould appear she is a reformed character and her recent-ish live album is superb, raw but awesome.

'Mystery of Iniquity' has phenomonal lyrics and structure and is delivered in a way on she knows how.

 

sorry i cant name just one now, wouldnt be right. Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, the Raelettes, Supremes, etta james, tina turner and recently Nora Jones has seriously fuckin grown on me. one of her songs really smashes my heart every time i play it.

man i love women so much.
