Who do you guys think have the best voices? They don't need to sing like Whitney or Mariah (although they'd deff be on my list).
 
I like Beyonce (Especially Live), Lauryn Hill (A GENIUS), Janet (She's not the most powerful, but she is definitely the most VERSATILE out of all the female artists), Toni Braxton (her voice is unique), Whitney (In her prime), Mariah (In her prime), Gladys Knight (could sang back then and still can sang today), Jill Scott (I adore this womans vocal abilities), Marsha Ambrosius (Floetry)-She is coming out with a solo record this year..so look out!!, Erykah Badu (I love her music and her bluesy voice), Amy Winehouse (She has a very unique voice and her music compliments it very well)..

Aretha Franklin!, Barbra Streisand! Edith piaf! Tina Turner, Ella Fitzgerald, Minnie Riperton, Whitney Houston now she's a bit well burnt, but you now. Dion Warwick, Diana Ross (i love her melodic voice), Nina Simone, (i liked her voice but not her style, musical style)Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Celine Dion

from now (well not so now, but hey) i like Lauren Hill, Mariah Carey, (though with the style of music she is doing sometimes she doesnt show all her qualities) Beyoncé, Sade, Tony Braxton, Amy Winehouse, , Alanis Morissette, Björk (so unique and expresive)

I'm assuming many are being sarcatic with some of their answers (e.g. Janet :mello:, Rihanna:mello:, )

anyhow mine are
Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Diane Warwick, Patti Labelle, Etta James, Minnie Ripperton, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carrey, Sinead O' Connor, Alicia Keys
 
I like the classics like Aretha, Etta and Eva Cassidy

But I am a fan of straight to the point alternative singers too, like PJ Harvey and Katy Steele (Little Birdy)

Isn't the song by Cassie called "Me and You", honey? ;)

No, she doesn't! Why should she?
She really likes Rihanna's and Cassie's voice! ;)
 
I also love Aretha Franklin, Dee Dee Warwick, Phyllis Hyman, Meret Becker, Ute Lemper, Mylene Farmer and Chaka Khan 's voices.

Other then that I prefer male voices over female voices. Janet is the only female vocalist I can tolerate for a long period of time.
 
Candice Night (She is the lead singer in the group Blackmore's Night. I just love her voice.)

The group Celtic Woman

Shubha Mudgal (She is a well-known Indian singer of Hindustani classical music.)

Janet Jackson

Shreya Ghoshal (Another Indian singer that I like.)



These are some of my favorite female singers.
