You just listed every female singer I can listen to! I'm not sexist I just don't find most women's voices pleasurable enough to listen to, I always end up thinking they sound nasaly or squeaky.

Only other one I can think to add is:



It might just be me, but this song is so beautiful and she performs it perfectly.

I love the distinctive voice of Jill Scott



Lizz Wright is fantastic and underrated



And the first song Kate Bush ever wrote is her masterpiece.

I love Chantal Kreviazuk - Feels like home Amazing vocal, Can listen to this for ages

I agree with the poster above who says they don't particularly care for female singing voices. They are nasally, whiny, and 'hoarse.' For some reason, it's becoming more and more popular for that kind of 'sound' with female singers. The crystal clear and classic styles are still my favorite over the whiny pop singers or country and western twangy artists.

An example:

Hope Sandoval - Mazzy Star



If I had to imagine what the voice of an angel would sound like, hers would be it


Hauntingly beautiful

Emmy Rossum "Think of me". I think her version is so much better than Sarah Brightman's.
So now we also got to the opera. This is quite a journey...:-)

Emmy kicks Sarah's butt.

Sade "Smooth Operator"



got two albums (vinyl) with Sade. Every track is quite amazing :-)

You all fail!
The most beautiful female vocalist (singing wise) is Justine Suissa.

I love "On A Good Day", and "Out There (5th Dimension)", true classics...I know at least three other ATSers would agree too.

I've found it! The Goddess of all singing voices, the Yin to my Yang, the ultimate of all ultimate glorious sounds from a human female....

Sandy Denny, of the Fairport Convention:




and

Karen O, Yeah Yeah Yeahs:
