The only female artists that i listen to on a regular basis are Fiona Apple and Sinead O'Conner, so i would have to say them. Im suprised nobody has mentioned Fiona Apple yet, she is very very good you know.

I think her name is pronounced Feist, she was a guest with the Norweigen duo Kings of Convieience, she's a brilliant voice

Maybe put Feist in Google or whatever, but my opinion she's really good!

Glad to see someone else in the same boat!

A sublime voice.. and her backing vocals on The Postal Service's 'Give Up' are just phenomenal!

Gonna have to say Mariah Carey. I generally don't like that type o' music at all, but her voice is damn incredible when she's singin' a good song. Pity she wastes her talent on mostly ****e songs, like her recent ones.
Unbeateatable vocal range.

I'm going to have to cast my vote for Christina Aguilera. I took my brother to see her in late 2003, not expecting much more than sexy dance routines, but I was absolutely blown away by how good she was. I've never before or since heard a voice like it.

Her newer songs are better than her earlier sh*te, so she's not making the mistakes that Mariah did. As far as her range goes, while I don't know if she can sing as low as Mariah, she can certainly sing as high as her (the so-called whistle register). As long as she loses the whole show-off bit - you know, every note a "whooouuuwooaaahhhoohhaaaa" - she'll be the best singer of her generation. I certainly won't miss her when she returns.

Bjork is amazing too - she improvises to a huge extent when singing live, but the voice just obeys every command the brain sends it, without a hint of strain. Few singers are that good.

BTW, surprised to see that no-one appears to have mentioned Beyoncé Knowles so far...
