Whit hands down!

Whitney is an unequalled talent. Her voice commands your attention and she is just as captivating on screen. I have been a big fan of hers for many years and America will never have a better singer than the one and only Ms. Whitney.

Like her life style or not, her voice can send shivers up and down your soul. So she has to be considered as having one of the best voices ever.


Vote for Christina Aguilera 11) Christina Aguilera

Britney and Christina had mostly been in media wars, and it seemed both are even. But Christina has vocal power, whereas Britney had lip-synced. And when she did sing, she can’t hit the right notes. Also, she can stay away from tabloids. And Britney damaged her career by being in a tabloid every 4 seconds.

turk182

Listen to her before you vote! A voice so beautiful and a style so unique that the first time I heard her on the car radio I pulled over to listen and cried. Her voice reaches into your soul and moves you. Incredible!


Vote for Kelly Clarkson 29) Kelly Clarkson

Kelly has one of the greatest pop voices of our generation. Because she’s so down to earth and approachable, I think she doesn’t get the attention she deserves as an artist. Kelly has an amazing voice, and can sing circles around all her contemporaries.

Kelly Clarkson doesn’t get enough credit. She’s amazing and right up there with Whitney, Mariah, Celine and Christina! She’s amazing!

Kelly is the BEST FEMALE ARTIST EVER! BEST AMERICAN IDOL EVER!


Vote for Amy Winehouse 30) Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse will go down in history as being one of the most skilled singer/songwriter/performer of this generation. She sings with so much soul and emotion, even when not at her best she still conveys what she feels to her audience and this makes her magical.

Not many artists of this time can achieve what comes so naturally to her, she is not recognised enough.

Amy may not have the octave
range that mariah and celine
have but her voice has more soul.

amy winehouse is the best vocalist to grace this earth. both of her albums frank and back to black are treasures that one should hold forever. amy isn’t concerned what you think of her because... she is just Amy and that is something to love. amy winehouse= my idol.

Enya should be much higher on this list.

Vote for Kate Bush 56) Kate Bush

Since she made her debut at 19 in 1978 with the "kick inside" album with mindbending inventiveness and the maturity of a wise 90 year old war veteren, and continuing in her career to write about thought provoking subject matter unheard of from a woman before her arival, this highly independent and strong artist has nearly inspired everyone both male and female. Every woman has had the opportunity to truly carve their own path and have an independent music career thanks to this first of her kind true artist. Everyone from Tori Amos to Madonna has ripped her off in some major way or another. Everyone from as diverse genres as hip-hop (outcast), alternative (Placebo), (Cold play) to hard rock and metal has wanted to work with her. Don’t think so? Do your research.
