Top 10 Female Metal Singers With the Most Powerful Voices
Floor Jansen is a Dutch singer-songwriter and vocal coach. She is currently vocalist of Nightwish and leader of Revamp. Floor Jansen has been moulding her vocal range while in Nightwish. Now, the world knows her range better. She has become the widest range vocalist of Nightwish, she has haunting operatic, pop, rock, metal scream, and, I have just found out she can, aggressive growl voice. For those not familiar with Floor's vocal range, do check YouTube for these 2 Nightwish's songs: Ghost Love Score (Live) and Yours is an Empty Hope (Live). I may not understand vocal techniques, but it seems Tuomas Holopainen has expanded Nightwish performance based on how Floor can sing.
Note: Ghost Love Score previously sang as duet song, with Floor it becomes a solo performance showcasing how dynamic her vocal style changing in each part of the song section. And Your is an Empty Hope has solidified as an Anthem song for Floor to showcase her range in a single short song (for Nightwish).
Floor is my all time favorite singer in all genres of music. Her skills and hard work are finally paying off. No words describe her potential.
This list is for female singers with the most powerful voice. That is why I vote for Floor. Her voice is out of this world, she has definitely made Nightwish a better band. I personally prefer Sharon Den Adel's voice but recognise Floor has a more powerful voice.
Floor Jansen, the most powerful female vocalist with great control, great technic, great performer, great song's interpreter and storyteller, and the most versatile female singer in nowdays.
Alissa White-Gluz is a Canadian vocalist, best known as the former lead vocalist and one of the founding members of the Canadian metal band, The Agonist, and current lead vocalist for the Swedish melodic death metal group, Arch Enemy. "I felt I had to make this statement in support of Alissa. In my oppinion, well the truth is I have honestly NEVER HEARD AS POWERFUL A VOICE AS HER'S BEFORE IN MY LIFE EVER! Especially that of a female! Now, may I clarify here. I am not by any stretch what I would consider a hard core Arch Enemy fan. However I do think The Eagle Flies Alone is AWESOME! And I further must say that Alissa's voice, while exceptionally strong and powerful is actually one of many female -fronted metal voices I currently favor. In any case I admire Alissa and TOTALLY RESPECT Arch Enemy as a truly awesome band! Thank you! "
@Britgirl: haha, yes - she growls like a male. And yes, growls scare people, hehe. But why people watch horror movies?
One can't believe these growls come out of this incredibly beautiful and feminine creature. But Alissa can also sing "normally" and her clean voice is very good and pleasant.
@Britgirl - I'm surprised you know who Alissa is and how she sounds! Are you a metalhead undercover, haha?
She's by far the most talented singer in the history of metal bar none.
