I like a bit "girlier" vocals than like Norah Jones or Patricia Barber, tho still keeping around the same genre. I've been really into
 
Olivia Ong lately

[Br777]

Nataly Dawn from Pomplamoose, My terrible Friend, and her solo work
 

 
Lauryn Hill

Im gonna have to throw amy winehouse in here.. i'm a late adopter for sure as i just started listening.
If you ignore all the media and simply focus on the music and talent.. WOW!  She reminds me of Lauryn hill.
i really hope she gets or has gotten the help she needs and shines as a person and an artist.  if you watch her perform you can tell she is using very little of her focus or potential.  If she gets it together she could truly shine.

I love the female voice most of the time.
My favorites include: 
Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Sarah Brightman, Natalie Merchant,
Elaine Paige- "Cats", Sally Ellyson (Hem), Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies),
Vienna Teng (Magnificent), Joni Mitchell, etc. etc. etc.

For me, Eva Cassidy is hands down the best female vocalist.

Thank you for this great recommendation. I check out 2 of Eva's albums ("Live at Blues Alley" and "Songbird") and am absolutely blown away by  her music. Her song "Autumn Leaves" is now one of my favorite songs of all time and I get choked up when I watch her live performance of it. "Fields of Gold"  is also phenomenal.

i'm a sucker for... husky voices. diana krall... her songs played with rainymood.com (especially the song, i've got you under my skin) has this... profound effect for mellowing people out.

Lisa Gerrard,when only the best will do.

 
I used to be INSANE for Dead Can Dance in college. That's where my screen name came from. (I had to start adding letters as the internet got bigger and "Sanvean" wasn't always available.)
 
My personal picks:
 
* Patsy Cline. Her voice can just break your heart. 
 
* Renata Tebaldi and Regine Crespin, for opera. Crespin's "Un Bel Di" is my favorite performance ever.
 

 

[PR1MO1]

Hayley Williams - "The Only Exception" and "Misguided Ghosts" from Paramore's latest album are awesome
Vanessa Carlton
Colbie Caillat (Check out "Droplets" on vimeo)
Duffy - youtube "Warwick Avenue" if you're not familiar with her

 

[Br777]

i just discovered Missy Higgins.. YEAH!!
 

 
better add Patty Griffin for good measure
