Sarah Brightman, no contest. She plans on being the first artist to record music in outer space, via the Virgin Galactica commercial space flight!

 
She's WAY too late for that. She's the second or third 'artist' I've heard say that, and all of them are delusional.

Interesting. Looks like he beat her to it with this cover, but I should have made a distinction - "she plans on becoming the first recording artist [ie commercially known professional musician] to venture into space en route to the International Space Station sometime in the next two years."

Don't think Jean Louisa Kelly has been mentioned yet. She has a beautiful voice and have always loved this song from a wonderful old movie.

Hi All,
 
Long time lurker, first time poster.  I found this thread the other day and went through all 142 pages of it before posting.  I found some great new additions and overall was happy.  I expected to find some more, but anything is better than nothing.  And so I thought i'd share some of what I listen to, to contribute to this thread.
 
None of these have been mentioned or have been mentioned but no video for ease of convenience, or have only been mentioned once randomly somewhere....
 
First up Jesse Thomas - She has two albums so if you like this, there's more

 
I'm amazed no one mentioned Cristin Milioti(no album, but she did some covers that are easy to find on youtube).  I love her rendition of La vie en rose that she did for How I met your Mother
Terrible recording, but hopefully enough for you to get an idea

 
New to me but very intrigued

 
Maria Taylor

 
Nikki Taylor From Little Daylight

 
Lucy Wainwright Roche

 
Maria Sais de Sicilia(originally from Lydia) of Her & Gold

 
Madeleine Slate - not a huge fan of lyrics, but her voice is amazing

 
Kira Leyden from The Strange Familiar

 
Sera Cahoone - Little bit Folk but really good

 
Amy Stroup

 
Lucy Schwartz

 
I'll post some more later.

Lila Downs.

Thought I'd throw this into the mix. The film is somewhat of a rehash of "Once" but I enjoyed it and Keira has a very pretty voice.

Don't know how to embed it but check out this 14 year old on Australian X Factor.  She makes the original sound second rate. Truly a fabulous voice. The tone, the phrasing, everything..... sstunning
 
Make the effort to watch it, it is worth it i promise.
