alanis morisette(not so much for the voice but the emotion in the voice)

 

I'd also put sinead o'conner in that grouping ... a very expressive and emotional voice.

[Jayne 10]

two songs I really like are:

 

Carole King - It's too late

Carly Simon - You're so vain

 

great to sing along to, too

[Reidstar 10]

I like unusual voices me like: her from that band Lamb, her from the Cardigan's, Bjork, Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette, her who sings on Goldie's Timeless album and you know stuff like that. I don't like all this teeny-bop and manufactured singing stuff though. I think it's rare that you come across unique singers with raw talent nowadays innit.

 

By the way would anyone recommend any other females singer's similar to those above??

[fuzzy 10]

Kirsty McColl sadly no longer with us.

[Fireondaroof 10]

Yeah I agree with some of the other woman singer's you have mentioned e.g.

 

Norah Jones

Katie Melia

Tori Amos

Ella Fitzgerald

Karen Carpenter/Carpenter's in general

 

But what about the ones you haven't

 

Joss Stone

Brandy

Monica

[noseyrosie 10]

Katie Melua <--Spawn of Satan.

 

 

Good female singers,

 

Kate Rusby (although I wish she'd cheer up)

Nancy Kerr (and she even taught me 'the flamingo dance')

Julie Murphy (amazing amazing voice)

Tina Dico

 

That;s all for now. Smell ya later!

Hey dont forget - Joan Armatrading???!?!!!! Come on, Love and affection is an all time classic woman wailing tune!!!

 

Etta James kicks ass, as does Sade n Tracy Chapman (voice wise, love or leave their music), I have to admire Shirley Basseys Style too!! Now theres a woman who could light up a stage in a FULL sequined evening gown if ever I saw one - perhaps a note to the talentless trash who keep parading, oiled up in hotpants?? Its not necessary!!
