best female singers
This is an interesting list because there are some names I'm not familiar with. It's a shame we don't have more international shows on American TV. To be the best , you have to have more than just a great voice, you must move an audience. And most of these women can do that. Was Joan Baez on the list? How about Doris Day? Connie Francis was marvelous. Judy Garland was exciting to watch and listen to. Perhaps we should separate the technical quality from the actual performances. Those with a four-octave range voice have better equipment to work with,obviously, andmay have an edge in interpretation of a song. How about Nana Mouscouri? Perhaps it needs to be in categories. Patsy Cline will always be the top country singer for me. And there are lots of great ones there. The song arrangements have a lot to do with listening ability also. Rock singers; I'd go with Ann Wilson. Pop singers-Streisand, Carey, Faltskog, and many other good ones. Jazz singers-who beats Ella? superb! High brow music- Certainly Brightman is amazing R&B; Houston, Aguilera, also both great at Pop. Celine Dion is wonderful; so is Faith Hill; Perry and Cyrus are just getting started. so is Underwood. You need a computer to tally all this up, and the list would probably be over one hundred to get the best of the best listed.Comments
