Best Female Singers of 2013

The Top Ten
1 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album 'The Debut', was her eighth consecutive ...read more.

Speaking for myself only, but probably expressing the feelings of many, I await Jackie's next recordings with great anticipation. She has performed some great songs in various concert appearances and other presentations, such as "Someday" and "Concrete Angel" that are not on any CD or DVD and which should hopefully be on one of her future CDs and DVDs of concert performances, with her more mature voice and interpretations. But I am patient and understand that she has a life to live, a formal education to complete, a family to not be denied or put in second place for her career, nor in response to the demands of her fans. She and her family come first and foremost. Everything else is secondary.

Her concert tours bring joy to countless people wherever she goes and I would certainly love to see her in concert, should she pass this way, someday. Or do as some have done, and travel to where she is to bathe in her essence, as she performs in concert, somewhere. But I have noticed the ...more

I do agree that it's a shame that not all of her concert performances are recorded because some songs can only be heard in concert and then are lost forever. She might have made a recording when she was 9, but now at 13 it's not comparable. If she sings something in the wonderful entrancing way she does in concert at its best, but it's not recorded (in high quality or even fairly low), it's like we're living in the 1800s. No one will ever get to experience it again.

She bowled me over at age 9... She unhinged my jaw at age 10... She stole my heart somewhere between 11 and 12... Now at 13 years of age, Jackie is stunning, both in voice and beauty... No doubt that she will become perhaps one of the greatest sopranos in recorded history - and who knows? By the time she is 30 she may richly deserve the title "greatest vocalist of all time" Only God knows, but I believe Jackie has captured His heart too - if not His ear!

In 2013, Jackie not only continued her successful "Songs from the Silver Screen Tour", but shone in several special appearances. These included her mesmerizing rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for Cirque du Soleil, her absolutely perfect performance of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" for the Capitol Fourth concert, and her unparalleled delivery of the national anthem at the Thanksgiving Day game between Detroit and Chicago.

2 K.S. Chithra Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. Chithra also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music.

She's just amazing. I truly love her. She can sing amazingly. I love her high notes and whistle tones. She needs to be first!

No one compares to her! She was the best vocalist on earth. Her powerful voice and amazing vocal range was a force of nature!

This is impossible! Katy has to be number 1. How can she be 35? Her song "Roar" topped the charts on the billboard hot hundred, UK, US and almost every single chart. She has a spectacular voice and I know taylor swift, demi lovata, selena gomez, adele and kelly clarkson have great voices but katy is the BEST. She is the true queen of pop.

Katy is the total package. A great vocalist, a true beauty and a Pop icon for this generation. A natural born singer, entertainer, and Star!

Katy perry is deluxe. She is my favorite recording artist ever

The best song she ever did was roar. SHE HAS TO BE number 1!

I love her songs when I play with Legos I pretend like they are singing the song. In 2 days I am going to sing "Someone Like You"by Adele. Check it out on youtube

I really love Adele; soulful, down-to-earth Londoner. She's modest and doesn't crave the media attention that some other singers do. Not that she needs to.

Amazing voice, I have never heard it anywhere else. a lot of people try to copy her voice but no one can

After appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends as a child, she received her breakthrough role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. ...read more.

She is literally perfect. She can belt out both high and low notes, and she just puts so much emotion into her music, it will make you cry. If you don't like her, listen to her music from after she quit Disney, like her new album 'DEMI'.

The amount of control she has over her music and voice, is astonishing. She owns the song she sings.

She can perform really better than any Disney singer and she's in the 12th place.. She should be 1st..

I think Demi Lovato has one of the greatest voices, she belts out high notes and low notes, she has a great vibrato and she can pour her emotions into her songs to the point where she can make you cry, don't believe me? Listen to skyscraper, warrior, nightingale or For the love of a daughter wich is about her experience with her abusive father! She should get more votes.

8 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

Taylor Swift is the best! I could listen to her songs everyday. And her song, "I knew you were trouble" is my favorite! You should listen to her songs, maybe you'll be her biggest fan.

I'm really confused right now on why Taylor Swift isn't NUMBER ONE! She is crazy talented and deserves to be in the top ten... I'm mean seriously people 13TH?!

I love taylor swift because her songs give me energy like shake it off, 22, mine, love story and so on

Beautiful

Dirrty
The Voice Within
Can't Hold Us Down
Candyman
Ain't no other man
Hurt

Not Myself Tonight

Your Body
Just A Fool
Let There Be Love

I don't think there's any competition. The fact that Miss Aguilera isn't #1 or at least Top 3 is mind-blowing

Christina Aguilera is one of the greatest voice of all time should with out a doubt be in the top 3

Christina kicks butt. She totally be number one.

15 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

Unlike a lot of pop singers that jumped on the bandwagon of releasing a EDM single with an album filled mostly of watered down r&b/rock, Gaga released a straight forward EDM album (exception of Dope which still has ambient influences). Lyrical themes on ARTPOP were not serious like she stated as the album was stated to be "fun" which it succeeds in being. Vocals are hardly autotuned save for Aura and this is where she really shines (although she gets to close to the microphone on Swine). Production is top notch from Gaga and her usual team of DJ White Shadow+Dino Zisis+RedOne along with new comers Zedd and Madeon.

If I want to listen to a good song or album lady gaga is the only one I can turn to. Consistent!

I know people love pop singers, but Lzzy is a wicked awesome singer with some serious metal cred. She has won a Grammy and been Glee-ified. Just listen to Amen, I am the fire, I miss the misery, Love bites, Mz. Hyde, Innocence, Dirty Work, Freak Like me, Rock Show, Familia Taste of Poison, etc.

GO LISTEN TO HALESTORM

I THINK LORDE IS A PROMISING SOLO ARTIST I MEAN SHE CO-WROTE ALL HER SOLO SONS AND BY 17 AND SHE COULD DO BETTER LATER I WOULD BE A LITTLE EXCITED ABOUT HOW THINGS GO WITH LORDE LATER AND I THINK SHE DOES HAVE A GOOD VOICE OF COURSE.
