THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers) - Page 87  

I just made an amazing discovery. I was listening to some female voice compilation and found playing one song over and over and over. It's a cover of Sound Of Silence by Rua. Never heard of Rua? An hour ago, neither did I. Now I ordered all their CDs I could find.

 

 

This lady (Liz Madden) even responds to some of the YT videos. Love it.

Brittany Miller :D

 

No, seriously...

 

yeah good choices, in particular Erykah with great voice and style !

I also really like the voices of Mary J. Blige, Lauren Hill, & Mica Paris, but they're not always stylistically my cup of tea.

When M. J. B. gets it right, her voice really soars, though. Good duet between M. J. B. & L. H., as I'm sure you know, is:

Madeleine Peyroux without a doubt for me. Her voice is just so calm and soothing. Very smooth

I've posted Red Molly before (http://www.head-fi.org/t/522812/the-best-female-vocals-your-favorite-female-singers/720#post_8033622) but they also each sing very nicely solo:

You're gonna love this next video, then, RamJaxed!:

(OK, OK, the video is APPALLING, but the music...well..that's worth a listen

This is quirky but I really do like her voice (Zooey Deschanel). She doesn't seem to make any effort to sound polished in her performances - she just belts it out in a casual manner and doesn't care whether it sounds tidy or not. Still, I like her voice:

 

 

 

Is it just me or does she sound like she stepped into a time machine and teleported from 1950 to 2012? Her voice just sounds like a 1950s vocalist... Speaking of retro vocals, where did I put my Puppini Sisters CD..?   (http://www.head-fi.org/t/522812/the-best-female-vocals-your-favorite-female-singers/660#post_7920961)

 

 

 

 

 

....Oh, and is it just me, or does Zooey look scarily like Katy Perry?:

P.S. not really a great singer, but I stumbled across this on Youtube and just thought "Yum-yum! "

 

Polish?

 

I know the Wailin Jennys have had a mention, some months back, but this is nice, if you like stark female harmonies:

 

 

 

and Cara Dillon does a nice version of the same song:

 

This beats the hell out of Justin Timberlake, any day!:

 

Emily Elbert:

 

 

 

 

 

Here in the UK, I've never heard of Emily but I must say, I reckon she's gonna make it BIG some time in the relatively near future. She has bags of potential and she really feels what she's singing. Seriously, I predict a star in the making; what a talented young lass!

 

WOWOWOWOW!  talk about someone who does not sound like they look.  I almost skipped right over this thinking it was some little teeny bopper being cute... this woman is PHENOMENAL!!!

^all 3 cd's purchased - that was an easy sell!

thanks for that one!
