I saw them live a few weeks ago. They did a small little acoustic performance outside after the venue closed. I uploaded two of their performances onto my account in case you want to see them.

:)

Tarja, VERY easily.

ayumi hamasaki, lily allen, and michelle featherstone.

Is it just me or are most of the singers nominated here are Rock vocalists? Someone should change this to Best women Rock Singer for u (solo or group), because as far as I'm concerned, TC never said it must be Rock Vocalists.hiphops_savior

Leigh Nash (from Sixpence None the Richer) probably. She's just as good live as she is in the studio.

Shiggums

That chick from 'Heart'... such a great voice

Pouran Shapouri,Googoosh, Nina Persson, Julieta Venegas, Mireille Mathieu, Leann Rimes, Christina Milian

There are others I like but these are my favourites.

Lisa Hannigan

Janis Joplin

Kirsty MacColl

Arethra Franklin

Ella Fitzgerald

Anyone but Susan Boyle FFS. Singing Celine Dion songs is a waste of God-given vocal pipes.

For me, it's a tie between Chan Marshall and Neko Case. Legendary vocalists in their own time.

Anneke Van Giersbergen - The Pacific Ocean - Fiona Apple, Emily Loizeau, Bjork, Regina Spektor, Floor Jansen, Kristin Hersh, Beth Gibbons, PJ Harvey, Pauline Croze, Keren Peris, Olivia Ruiz, Camille, and Corin Tucker.

Aaaand many more.

Whitney Houston if she's still swinging

Hayley Williams (Paramore)

and

Sierra Kusterbeck (VersaEmerge)

Definitely :D

Amy Lee and the female vocalist for Lacuna Coil..

Karin Dreijer Andersson from Fever Ray and the Knife, or Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

I guess I have a thing for Karens.

my top 3: Hayley Williams of Paramore, Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf, and Amy Lee of Evanesence.

Lady GaGa. :shock:

The girl from Save Ferris, or fiona apple

Björk, Tarja Turunen, Shirley Manson, Alison Goldfrapp, Karin Dreijer Andersson, Sandra Nasić, Maria Callas, Maaya Sakamoto and Kyōko Koizumi.

Bjork and Liz Fraser (of Cocteau Twins).....by far!

Icelandic version of Sugarcubes Birthday, beautiful but very disturbing lyrics, read them sometime

Nobody growls like Bjork, my fav part is from 2:40 on where she takes off with the song.

from her first solo album

awesome Cocteau Twins psychedelia, rare song.

Kate Bush also has a great voice, I'm just not as much into her music as i am with Bjork and Cocteau Twins
