Bessie Smith.

I listen to her all the time.

One of the best voices EVER.

toni braxton and sarah brightman

mm..bessie...its something about a jazz singer that seems so natural...to me it seems tha the ladies are true fans of the genre and really sing from the heart and become one with the music

My daughter :)

Mariah & Christina Aguilera. And Kelly Clarkson also has a real good voice, better than Christina because she doesn't try as hard to hit all those notes, it comes naturally


I've also been listening to lots of Shakira lately, at first her voice can sound annoying but when you get used to it, her voice is also very emotional and powerful, and she writes all her songs herself!!! I even listen to her Spanish songs though I barely speak any.

Gonna have to say Tori Amos...

Ella's voice was incredible...wierd to listen to her and Janis Joplin , they sound alot alike.

my vote goes for the queen of soul and i can't believe she has not been mentioned

Aretha Franklin :thumbsup

Christina Aguilera....

I think she's also running for the title of the Top Female Whore, amoung all singers.

Sarah Brightman, and Julie Andrews had an incredible voice before her tragic loss of it. Both sing 8 octaves. I used to as well many many moons ago :)
