Another woman rapidly climbing my list of faves is Veronica Freeman of Benedictum.

Who would've thought a woman could sound like Dio?

Magali Luyten is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Have you heard her?



And here's a sample of her on the new Ayreon album, this was what Arjen released as he was introducing the vocalists, giving fans a chance to guess them:

That's without the music. So awesome!

I was going to do a thread for top 5 or 10 female vocalists so since someone beat me to the punch, here is mine:

1-Erin Henry (TSO-based solely on her singing Christmas Cannon Rock in concert several years ago, I will never forget her voice)
2-Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish)
3-Liv Kritine (Leaves' Eyes)
4-Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering)
5-Simmone Simons (Epica)
6-Floor Jensen (After Forever)
7-Heather Finlay (Mostly Autumn)
8-Ann Wilson (Heart)
9-Doro Pesch
10-Anette Olzon (Nightwish-and she may move up the list, depends on future Nightwish albums)

My top five are:

1. Nina C. Alice
2. Angela Gossow
3. Veronica Freeman
4. Doro Pesch
5. Tarja Turunen

Why has no one said Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation? That girls voice makes me all tingly inside

Allison Krauss
Stevie Nicks

Cherrie Currie (she was pretty damn fine to look at back in the day, too)
Doro ("It's unhooooly love!")
Angela Gossow (didn't used to like her, but she's grown on me)
Christina Scabbia (what, no one's mentioned her yet? She's excellent live too!)

In metal:
Debbie Gunn- ZnoWhite
Leather Leone -Chastain
Marcela Bovio - Ayreon, Stream of Passion
Ida Haukland - Triosphere.
And like Eyesore, i`m a huge fan of Magali Luyten

Outside of metal, Kate Bush is pretty much my favourite singer/songwriter. Hounds of Love and Never Forever are amazing albums.

Angra did an awesome cover of Wuthering Heights on their debut.

Joan Jett


Christina Scabbia
Annet Olson
Tarja Turunen

Leather Leone-Chastain
Ann Boleyn-Hellion
Betsy-B*tch
Wendy' O
Sandi Saraya

whaaat! No one has said Morgan Lander from Kittie, that girl is a boss on vocal duties.

runnerup would probaly be Phadra Hirshfield when she was in Lightforce.

Following that definately Eva Ortiz from Christian Death and Eva O.

Patti Russo, Sylvia Tosun, and Wendy Eggers.

Doro
Another I've really gotten into lately is the singer for Ignitor-Erika

She has actually got a really versatile voice. I like her.

Unfortunately she is no longer the singer for Ignitor. She bailed right after they released the new album. Sucks huh?

Lana Lane
Doro
Kate French
Floor Jansen

That would be Erika Swinnch who no longer is with Ignitor!

Righteous on Nina C. Alice.

Some of my favorites:

Magali Luyten (Beautiful Sin)
Kate French (Chastain, Vainglory)
Ida "Pico" Haukland (Triosphere)
Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation)
Erika Swinnich (formerly Ignitor)
Pamela "P.J." Berlinghof (Twilight Odyssey)
Jutta Weinhold (Zed Yago)
Doro (Warlock, Doro)
Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)
Edera (Domina Noctis)
Paulina Maœlanka (Delight)
Freya (Mothernight)

Non Metal:

Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Brittany Bindrim (I:Scintilla)
Shirley Manson (Garbage)
Grace Slick (Jefferson Starship)
Ann Wilson (Heart)

"Hard" music - Wendy O
"Limp" music - the list would be endless, including every one mentioned here. Also big props to Jewel, as I don't think I saw her listed anywhere.

I will go ahead and mention (since we're including non-metal/hard rock vocalists) Joanne Hogg from Celtic/Prog Rock band Iona. Her voice is mind numbingly beautiful IMO.

mine is biased cause they are both friends of mine from back in the day....Lisa Faxon of First Aid/Ransom and Brenda Wilmuth-Barnett of Seventh Sign

Please, oh please, James, can you tell me whatever became of Lisa Faxon? No one in the world, it seems, knows what became of her after her days in RANSOM. Such a beautiful young lady with an excellent voice. I hope she's still involved in Christian endeavors.

BTW, another person no one ever seems to know what happened to...Danice of SCARLET RED. Another beauty with an excellent voice. Anyone know what became of her? Anyone??

Wendi Kaiser is one of my favorite female vocalists. I hear some folks talk of not liking her voice, but I think she's great. Her voice fits the RESURRECTION BAND perfectly. Her work on songs like "Sacrifice Of Love" and "Strongman" rules!!

Never been a fan a female voices in metal, dont know why but I havnt heard many that sound convincing. Exceptions are Tam from Sacrilege (UK) on the 'Beyond the realms of madness' MLP and Sharon Den Adel on the second Within Temptation album.

Worst is Angela Grossow (Arch Enemy) and
Rachel Heyzer-Kloosterwaard (Sinister) for their powerless attempts at death metal.

OK, she's not metal, but I can't believe I'm the first one to post Candice.
