Damn, I knew I left something out

Oh, and Madonna is a close 3rd in my book...

Most of my favourite bands have male singers, but the best female singer in my opinion is Shirley Manson from Garbage.

 

[Mark Young]

Favourite female singer is Andrea Corr from the Corrs (I like Christina Aguilera but I am in denial bout that one )

 

[Jayne]

Kate Bush!

 

[Matrix]

I hate to vote "other", because it makes the poll meaningless, but there's really no female singer in that list that I like.

Best female singer I know:
Anneke van Giersbergen (singer of the Gathering)

But looking at the comments of the thread starter I believe this is also about who looks prettiest and not only who sings best. In that case I'd say:
Anneke van Giersbergen (singer of the Gathering)

 

[Simon Darkshade]

I make a point of not listening to females under most circumstances, but one occasionally listens to Birgit Nilsson.

 

[ComradeDavo]

Angelea Glossow from Sweedish Death Metallers Arch Enemy.

 

[Archer 007]

None of those choices, thats for sure

Have any other Americans realized that most of our popular singers are Canadian females?

 

[Mescalhead]

I would maybe say Chrissie Hind. She isn't a great singer though she plays guitar as well and writes her own songs.

 

[Paalikles]

Silje Nergaard or Norah Jones ATM

I second that.

 

[Akka]

Tarja, definitely.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Yep, Tarja Turunen. Amazing.

 

[Håkon]

Dido of those on the list (least awful)

My personal favourite is Bertine Zetlitz, however.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Beth Orton
Sarah McLachlan
Lou Rhodes [of Lamb]
Emily Haines [of Metric]

 

[cgannon64]

Karen O, but I doubt any of you have heard of her.

(HINT: She's in a rock band. A current one.)

 

[Hygro]

Basically anyone with modulated voices, singing in english, from some european country
