TommyK Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hannah Montana? Seriously though, in my life time, you'd be hard pressed to find a finer female voice than Barbara Streisand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think there likely are three factors here... Style of music... Range of the vocal instrument... Style of use of the particular instrument. Most of the girl singers I tend to like are obviously of a different era, but note that I like some and don't care much for others. Ain't how pretty they appear, but strictly following the above three general guidelines. I think vids do something different for the perspective on all music compared to the way it was mostly audio when I was growing up. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Unfortunately, it seems to me that many women singing contemporary music are spewing formulated garbage with choreographed back-up, started by Madonna and Janet Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Which makes me wonder why Christina Aguilera plays that game when she has the chops to go it on her own without al the back up B.S. She's one of the biggest fish in the ocean.

Californiaman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Very nice choice. How about a little Heart, "Battle of Evermore." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oxcC18xE4Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Or perhaps a little Gretchen Wilson doing of course, a Heart tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqQkECIn738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 There is no shortage of great female singers capable of rocking just as good as any male...in fact there are many who have such powerful voices that a record or a cd just doesn't do them justice, I can think of one that was trained to be a operatic singer, has preformed some the best rock songs ever, then went to big band and has be successful in classical and ethnic music. I know of no male rock singer that has a career that can match her for versatility, vocal range and pure power that she has. Anyone care to take a guess?

Hall Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ok, so was going through my music and I have over 3000 artists on my hard drive! and not one female vocalist in there.... I just don't like female vocals....now I'm not proud of this, so can anyone suggest some female vocalists I might like? Etta James. Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
