I think we all have a soft melt spot for awesome female voices. Post the ones that make you feel warm and fuzzy or just the ones you admire a lot.
Taylor Swift in her new song 'speak now'
Tarja Turunnen from nightwish. She's such a good singer, almost bottlenecked by nightwish but she managed to make it something awesome.
Hayley Williams from Paramore. I just like angry, angsty girls. That and because her live performances are so full of energy.

Roberta Flack.

New to this thread and I will likely go through every post.

I wanted to say that I also enjoy Tarja Turunnen and Simone Simons. Tarja's My winter storm album is incredible. The phantom agony album by epica is another favorite as well.

Some of their songs make me tear up a bit and I'm always in search of other voices that make me feel that way.

Just a few that come to mind while probably forgetting a bunch more...

Patti Austin- famous voice on tons of albums for decades but you never knew who it was. Has some of her own albums. Fantastic.
Aretha- nothing like her in the old days. Queen of Soul indeed.
Mama Cass - tremendous range and timbre.
Natalie Maines. Just wow. If everything she did before the remake of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide wasn't enough, this surely is
Shania Twain- living reincarnation of Karen Carpenter. Don't like any of her material but incredible, acrobatic voice she does have
Karen Carpenter. 'nuff said.
Ella Fitzgerald. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. And it does!
Jo Dee Messina

She's got to have one of the most smooth voice I've ever heard. She probably works with really good sound engineers that are very mindful of vocal recording qualities. Her recordings sound great on anything.

She has a bit of Ella Fitzgerald, not as strong of a characteristic, but smoother.

I guess these are the days of youtube stars. She got the feel of the song down. I didn't think REM really expressed the song although a fantastic song.

^ I have the CD of this album. Agree with you with the voice. One of the best female voices around.

Joan Baez
In month I'll see her live in Prague, looking forward it

Agnes Obel - Familiar

Here comes Agnes Obel again! Her newest album is a few years old but it's soooooo good!

This song destroys me! I've had it on repeat for hours.
she wrote the music, the lyrics, and that is all her voice - pitch shifted for the "male part", awesome!
