Currently Dua Lipa. ( I know, I know, but I just like her tunes!)

Karen Carpenter - what a voice.

Sade - Smooth Operator just sublime and the only female singer I've gone to a gig for ( am female btw!)

Dionne Warwick - Walk On By is an absolute classic.

Sheridan Smith ( doing Cilla, but far better).

 

[DelToro]

Alison Krauss, Ellie Rowsell

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

So many...

Kate Bush
Joni Mitchell
Carol King
Aretha Franklin
Ella Fitzgerald
Nina Simone
Amy Winehouse
Sade
Diana Krall
Karen Carpenter
Billie Halliday
Dusty Springfield
Raye
Lana Del Rey
Janis Joplin
Maggie Bell
Emmylou Harris
Dolly Parton
Streisand
Tina Turner

would be my favourite 20. For me less is more and whilst I can appreciate their technical brilliance, Whitney, Maria and Celine are not for me.

Thata a cracking list, to which I would add Gladys Knight. Ella Fitzgerald numero uno for me !

Etta James
Aretha Franklin

Her voice and tunes make me smile but sad too. Classic from 85.

I like many female singers - but when I'm in the mood for loud, raunchy rock:

 

[elbearos]

Linda Ronstadt
Michelle Branch

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Beth gibbons

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Beth gibbons

does she?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Linda Ronstadt
Michelle Branch

Linda Ronstadt had an amazing voice, great call.

I'll add Suzanne Vega as a great singer who maybe doesn't have the most memorable voice.
Quite like Maria McKee and Silje Nergaard.

 

[Eric Wirral]

 

[JRockBlues]

Some that haven't had a mention as yet...

Shiina Ringo (my favourite Japanese female singer)
Margo Timmins (from Cowboy Junkies)
Anneke van Giersbergen (from The Gathering)
Skin (from Skunk Anansie)

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Posh Spice
