that's funny!!! Don't forget Liberace(spelling?)zumbo said:Elton John!
Norah Jones.
Mutt Lange made her career. It was proven when she "backed out of the divorce" that she wanted at one point.Wonder why no one has selected:
Shania Twain
Who has sold more recordings in their respective class?
Who has composed and can sing a country song to top Shania among women singers?
Agreed!Bjork's early stuff w/ Sugarcubes. Awesome range/articulation.
Yes, Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" is a must hear.Kate Bush, hands down. She has an 8 octave range with awesome control, and her songwriting is so out there it sends shivers down my back even after years of listening.
Gotta go with Kate Bush as well. No more haunting a voice to be found! A drink, dim the lights and "Running Up That Hill" is a good prescription for chilling out after a long day; and her backup vocals with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" can rarely be matched!Kate Bush, hands down. She has an 8 octave range with awesome control, and her songwriting is so out there it sends shivers down my back even after years of listening.
I don't think you are kidding. Linda Ronstadt is one of the greats, and I would have included her on my list if I had thought of it.My favorites from non-operatic performers are:
Diane Schuur (there are quite a few outstanding blind performers, aren't there?)
Linda Ronstadt (you think I'm kidding, don't you?, but I'm not)
Diana Krall (not only because of her singing style but because she also plays fine jazz piano. A double threat, as it were.)
I have a couple of Sarah Brightman's CDs that I like a lot. Never heard of Ms. Burton.Haven't read through the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned,
Dolores Mary O'Riordan Burton
Sarah Brightman
