You're all wrong. I think the female voice by default has more range and variability. Going by pure ability alone I'd say Edith Piaf. The woman could belt out a song like nobody I've ever heard.

I'm going to use the same answer I use every time I answer a music question like this, but I'm going with Ville Valo from HIM. Great range, and a great songwriter too. Robert Flynn is alsoone of the better malevocalists in rock.
As far as female singers go, Tarja Turunen (formerly of Nightwish), and Sharon Den Adel of Within Temptation are two of better ones.
On a kind of related subject, has anyone heard any of the new Nightwish stuff with their new singer? Kind of sounds like WT, still good but...
While I used to like SOAD a lot before (got sick of it) but his voice is too wacky and out there, plus his uber-high-voice is more like a parody of pipsqueeks than anything else imo. However freddy mercury ftw
Ame Lee? You have got to be kidding. Someone already mentioned a singer better than her Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation. Another female vocalist better then Lee is the singer of Flowing Tears cant remember the name at the moment.
Oh and for a bit heavier music the best singer imo is Randy Blythe from Lamb of God he has a nice powerfull almost death metallish growl with the added bonus of being able to understand the lyrics which arent half bad ( at least since As the Palaces Burn and especially on Ashes of the Wake).
This one is tougher than any of the instrument "best" posts in my opinion. There's more opinion involved in this than those because its sound instead of skill.
I'd have to say though, for a few up there would be up there wouldhave to include
Freddie Mercury King Diamond Cedric Bixler-Zavala Claudio Sanchez Johnny Whitney
The latter 3 are more swayed by personal choice though
Oh, and a mention for Amy Lee for female, I don't listen to much music with females doing vocals Ironic though, as all my favourite bands have very very high vocalists...
Er... doesn't it vary depending on what type of vocals you're looking for? I mean... you obviously can't compare those ballad-type of singers with those who sing pop... and those who do rock... and those who do... death grunts.
