Female Singers With the Most Powerful Voices

The Top Ten
1 Perrie Edwards Perrie Louis Edwards is an English singer and a member of Little Mix who won the X Factor 2011. She is known for her strong and deep voice who inspired everyone during Little Mix's X Factor performances and during their Salute Tour. In Little Mix's songs: Move, Turn Your Face, Good Enough, Secret Love Song, Lightning, About the Boy,and Love Me or Leave Me, Perrie's vocals seems to show off and mostly in covers and acoustics such as: About the Boy acoustic, I Will Wait cover, and Beyoncé's Listen cover.

How can I out into words how much I love Perrie's voice. She honestly deserves the number 1 spot. Little Mix is a strong vocal girl group as it is, which makes me happy that the other girls are on this list. Perrie Edward's is honestly one of the most strongest, vocalist of our times. Able to sing opera notes as easy as drinking water. She doesn't have to try hard to sing any note thrown her way. She doesn't have to yell for anyone to hear her. I loved her voice before her tonsils were removed but now I love her voice even more. Like Jade mentioned in an article, it's clearer, but a lot stronger. I mean, F.U. and You Gotta Not, she is not holding back any notes. Perrie is the s***. Her voice is the voice of our generation. Her voice is very very inspiring.

Perrie is one of my favourite singers (and Little Mix) mainly for the reason that mostly with groups, the singers only sound good when they are together because the work off of eachothers harmonies. However, Perrie proves this wrong because she has such a beautiful, powerful voice which is quite uncommon in groups. Her voice also has amazing range. She makes an incredible impact on the group and without her in Little Mix, the songs that they produce would never be as popular as they are. I think that she definitely has the potential to be a soloist (not saying that I want her to leave Little Mix) she just has the voice of a successful soloist. The only reason Perrie was merged into a group was because when she had auditioned for X factor she didn't have enough strength in her voice until she was mentored and learnt how to reach her full potential. However, I don't want Perrie to leave Little Mix because they are all so amazing together. This is just an overview on my opinion of Perrie.

Perrie is honestly an amazing singer. She hits her high notes perfectly live. She hits her low notes perfectly live. Before she got her tonsils out, her normal speaking voice was deep. Well, deeper than it is now that is. Yet, she still hit her high notes perfectly. Not a step behind. When she did get her tonsils out, she still hit the high notes perfectly. Even better if she could. She doesn't think her voice is all that and that's what I love about her. Her high note in the Little Mix song 'About the Boy' gives me shiver. Her note makes your heart stop (in a good way) in Little Mix's famous song, 'Change Your Life'. Everything is amazing and she puts all her effort in it. She really is talented. Perrie Edwards is Number 1 out of over 100 female singers that are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and even higher. And Perrie is 21! She deserves more credit than she's getting. xStellax

I have quiet seen lots of vocal fails or different artists but never actually saw one of Perrie. Perrie's voice is phenomenal; deep, thick, powerful and soulful! On the X Factor days before Perrie had her tonsils removed, she actually sounded like Christina Aguilera, she actually did. And when happened to sing Beautiful by Christina herself, she actually gave me shivers of how deep and rich her voice was. And even when Perrie had her tonsils removal surgery, she never fails to impress me even though she had just lost 75% of the deepness and richness her voice had before her tonsils were removed. Perrie's highnotes are haunting, her riffs and runs are flawless, she knows how to express and deliver emotions(Pain and Power) and she didn't completely lose her vocal power after having her tonsils removed. Definitely deserves to be number one! I'm actually tired of seeing Jackie Evancho or Mariah Carey top the vocal lists.

2 Whitney Houston Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, Guinness World Records cited her as the most awarded female act of all time. Houston is one of pop music's best-selling music artists of all-time, with an estimated 170–200 ...read more.

Whitney Houston is the most powerful female vocalist I ever heard in my life time. She could out sing anyone and I mean anyone, especially in her prime. That's why she is called the "Voice". Whitney earned that title with her countless awards and numerous accolades. Ms. Houston, in my opinion, is the greatest singer that ever lived. Not only was she a powerhouse singer; however, she was an acclaimed actress that starred in many movies like Waiting to Exhale, Preacher's Wife, Body Guard and her last film was Sparkle. Furthermore, She was a model before she became a famous singer. Overall, she was extremely talented!

Houston's 1985 debut album, Whitney Houston, became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was also named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album, Whitney (1987), became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Houston's crossover appeal on the popular music charts as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know"

7 consecutive number 1 hits, highest selling debut album of all time, highest selling sound track of all time, longest lasting single at number 1 on the billboard charts ( 14 weeks ) most awarded woman in the world and more... Her vocal ability as a singer was above reproach. Her flexibility and quick transition of notes was incredible, length of notes and Amazing power was and second to non, even male, the timber and velvety quality was beauty to your ears and the voice herself had unchallengeable clarity. If you asked any singer that is before Houston on this list, who is the greatest singer you would most likely find they would say Whitney Houston.

In my opinion, Whitney Houston is the greatest female vocalist of all time. Whitney not only had some of the greatest hits ever written, but she also was the most awarded singer of all time. Also, she inspired so many singers and people today. You wait for a voice and personality like Whitney's for a lifetime. Ms. Houston set the bar so high, that nobody has been able to overcome her voice, personality, or spirit. May she Rest In Peace!

3 Christina Aguilera Christina María Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known for songs such as "Beautiful", "Genie In A Bottle", "Fighter", "Hurt", "Dirrty", "Your Body", "Lady Marmalade", "Reflection", "I Turn To You", "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" "What A Girl Wants", and ...read more.

People often say Xtina strains because she "cannot" hit higher notes, sometimes it's intended and sometimes it's truly strained but don't get my girl messed up. She hit the same notes she strained on as clear as day. When you hear her voice, you don't have to question who it may be. She has a distinctive style, voice, essence and charisma about herself that is undeniable. If you say, "all she is good for is yelling and belting" go listen to I'm Ok or All I Need or her rendition of Anywhere But Here. She has the ability to be very versatile with her voice. She can bold and in your face, but also soft and peaceful. Everything and anything she sings is with passion and that why she's been dubbed the "Voice of her Generation" since forever.

Her voice is indeed an incredible force to be reckoned with, but as the last album (Lotus) demonstrated, it's not completely immune to her passionate style of belting. For the first time really, Christina sounded uncomfortably strained on her upper belts. True, Christina does intentionally incorporate a degree of strain that she manipulates to her liking on many of her songs (Fighter, Ain't No Other Man, Your Body, Candyman, Lady Marmalade) and she can either choose to strain or make it sound smooth. But on a couple of songs on Lotus (Sing for Me, Blank.Page) and especially on the Burlesque soundtrack, she legitimately sounded like she was struggling (although she sang a few Etta James songs on Burlesque so it could have been intentional). I think she knows her limits when it comes to vocal strain and vocal pain. I really want to here more of her head voice/falsetto and whistle register that she tinkered with more in her first four albums.
All in all, I can say that I'm proud to ...more

Christina has proven to us time and time again that she is the strongest female vocalist in the game. Her range is incredible! She can do hip hop vocals, ballads, and even belt out those powerhouse vocals and runs and make them look effortless. She doesn't need any editing because her voice is just so strong and versatile on its own. Not to mention the fact that she's been doing it since she was very young all the way up to today. She's one of the greats

Christina Aguilera comes to mind when ever the word PowerHouse comes into mind. She has the strongest and not to mention longest belt I've heard, especially the one she did in her Stripped tour while she performed "At Last" it was over 19seconds of relentless power. Definitely the a singer to be nominated when it comes to powerhouse.

4 Demi Lovato Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. 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 has the most amazing voice ever! She has the deepest most powerful voice! She can belt like she means it! She can hit high notes and low notes. Demi really has a wide vocal range! Listen to her Stone Cold lives and you'll see that she is one of the best female singer out there! Not only does she have a great voice but her songs are really catchy! Like Cool for the Summer, Heart Attack, Give Your Heart a Break, Made in the Usa, Neon lights, Really Don't Care, Sorry not Sorry. I also really like her songs that show off her deep, and powerful voice such as Stone Cold, Skyscraper, Warrior, Sober, Tell me you love me, Nightingale, etc. These songs are really meaningful.

Demi has one of the most powerful voices I've heard. Sure she may not be a 5 with the octave range, however her live preformances DO make up for it. No one can show nearly the same amount of emotion in her songs than Demi does. She literally pours all of her heart and soul and you can feel her pain when she sings. In my opinion, Demi, Christina, and Mariah deserve to all be top. Other artists such as Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift don't even have anywhere near the vocals Demi does however they get more recognition; totally ridiculous. People need to see how much of an incredible and strong artist Demi really is.

Demi has an amazing voice. Not only does she have amazing songs but she can also sing amazingly in live shows. She puts so much passion in her music and its clearly shown through her music. She can sing the lowest of the notes and the highest and she can hold them for so long. She holds the record for longest note held in a live performance by a Female. Her voice is like the definition of perfection to be honest, her voice just is so different from others which makes her voice so amazing! And the fact that she is just 21 is MINDBLOWING. I'm telling you, she is one of the greatest artists EVER!

Words can't describe how amazing her voice is! Honestly she is incredibly amazing both studio and live. She sounds better live which is really hard to find in this generation of pop music. Some so called "super pop stars" sound horrible both studio and live. Let me example be Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez they both can't sing but still get more recognition and awards then Demi it's not fair! But back to it Demi Lovato has the best voice of ALL time she is unbelievable! She can belt like no other!

5 Sarah Geronimo Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo aka Sarah Geronimo or Sarah G. is a world class and multi-talented Filipino singer, actress, dancer, record producer, model, host, coach/judge, commercial/product endorser and tv personality .

Most people define "Powerful Voice" as to ability to reach high notes and to sustain it for a long seconds until blood runs in every pore of the singer... But its bloody wrong... Powerful Voice is not about imitating bird's pitch or ambulance signal... It is all about how a certain singer attracts people to listen to her voice because of its ability to address the feeling/passion of the composer of the song... And after hearing the voice you will be enchanted to listen again and again... And I think Sarah Geronimo of her generation has the one and only possesses such ability and no one else more...

For me, Sarah Geronimo is the most versatile performer for she can do singing and dancing together yet it still comes from her heart. She may not have that "powerful voice" but once you hear her sing it's like you hear angels singing from above. Sarah G. as what Filipinos called her, can do different genres of music. She was awarded in World Music Awards as the "Best Filipino Performer" and she also received several international awards from different award giving bodies. I think this is the perfect time that Sarah must be known more internationally.

Sarah is the best singer in the Philippines, her technique is wholesome and very genius. If she can't reach high notes in a song, she'd still nail it using head tone or falsetto which sometimes makes the song get even more incredible. She owns the song when she sings, she's literally talented not just in singing but also in stage performance. She can sing well while impeccably dancing. Philippines should be proud of her, she's one of the best singers in the world.

Sarah Geronimo because she sings with pure heart. Her secret is her humility and love to what she's singing. She may not have the most skilled in technical singing but her voice is quite powerful to capture our hearts and emotions. She became the Popstar Royalty of the Philippines although many high ranged voice singers are present in the industry. It is because she can sing wholeheartedly, dance angstfully and gracefully that no performers ever can..

6 Celine Dion Céline Marie Claudette Dion is a Canadian singer and businesswoman. She is best known for her song "My Heart Will Go On", which is the main theme of the 1997 film Titanic, which was the first film to gross $1 billion at the box office.

Celine dion has a 5 octaves Bb2-C#6,1 note & a semitone
She can even reach an E6.
Her chest voice is G5.
Listen to her song THE POWER OF DREAM, her belt note there is C5.
Listen to her song THE POWER OF LOVE, her belt note there is Eb5, and her headtone note there is Bb5.
Listen to her song SORRY FOR LOVE, her highest note there is a G5.
Listen to her song ALL BY MYSELF, her belt note there is F5.
Celine dion can belt songs and hold it for a long scnds.
Well deserve to be include in top 10.
You are a living legend.
By the way most of her Spanish songs are an A5 note.

Celine Dions vocal abilities are now and have no ending in sight..., I understand Whitney, Mariah though have amazing voices,they don't have the longevity as celine has still today,. 250 million albums sold and climbing,neither of the others have come even close to reaching and never will,But more importantly they both have not preformed as long as celine has, they stopped performing early on. Celine has never walked away from her career,as did the others. She still performs now as much as when she was early in her career, whats makes all this a. true fact is that her voice is just as powerful now as when she was just breaking into the American market, neither of the others two or any other female artist for that matter can say the same..

Hmm m, I am so short of worlds any way I will say only little,Celine mama you are the best among all I mean you are suppose to be the first,your voice kills me each time I listen to your songs especially GOOD BYE it seem as if you sang that song special for me. the day I lost my mom was the day that song really made me cry...my God even with your age you still hit the nail' I LOVE you very very much just wish to see you so that you can also sing goodbye for my DAD, nobody can compare with u, you are so so unique and incredible,take care love you much kisses for you...

Celine's voice has an striking clarity that no other vocalist has. She is the queen of power ballads. Besides her voice having an angelic tone, all of her songs have at least one note that is full of power. At age 47 she is still able to hit all of those high notes that people in covers often fail to do. After Whitney, Celine has the most powerful voice.

7 Beyoncé Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from ...read more.

The woman that has EVERYTHING! Shes got the hits like rihanna, the voice like whitney Houston, the looks of a supermodel, the money of a bank, the dance moves of a choreographer, she has everything. She did glastonbury (the worlds biggest music festival) only a few months ago, And she was the first female artist to headline Glastonbury and it has been around for over 20 years. She writes the majority of her songs, and she makes the dances for the majority of her songs. Jo Whiley (The uk's biggest radio/music Reviewer) Said that at Glastonbury, she re-hearsed for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, for a few months for the gig. She did everything herself, She's a real perfectionist, planning every aspect of the show: the staging, the costumes, the dancers, the music, everything!... She is what I define as the queen of music. 16 time grammy award winner, which is the most for a well known female artist, she was the first woman to have 5 grammys in 1 night, and then she surpassed that in 2009 ...more

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter isn't one of the most awarded and critically acclaimed performers of all time for nothing. She has a 4 octave voice and a distintive ability to belt out ridiculous notes and melismata with effortless precision. From her lowest notes to her highest, Bey's voice never waivers, and maintains a full and supported register.

Best performer EVER! She has a supermodel body, voice of an angel, higher than a 4 octave range and she is gorgeous. What can go wrong with Beyonce? Not on thing. She is also donated over 15 million to charity. She is so nice and loves her fans.

The queen off all entertainers... She can sing difficult songs and make them sound beautiful in our ear. She can sing well while dancing, she is naturally beautiful, and she also has an incredible life and family.

Really, this is so wrong, Perrie Edwards has a great voice, of course, but no one can exceed Mariah's high notes, and her voice as well.

After 25 years, she can still reach the high notes like before.

You think Perrie will reach the high notes from here 25 years? She'll probably even have a career.

Review your concepts.

Hands down the most skilled, powerful, capable voice of history of popular music. Strong low notes and clear high notes. Amazing pitch. Can belt amazingly, whistle, just anything with her voice. She knows how to use it, she knows it very well. Super wide range.

9 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.

Chithra would always put something personal, her own identity, to the song and make it her own. Because of her powerful voice, she is capable to being creative in her singing.

Chithra is the best singer in the World, her technique is wholesome and very genius. If she can't reach high notes in a song, she'd still nail it using head tone or falsetto which sometimes makes the song get even more incredible. She owns the song when she sings, she's one of the best singers in the world.

First of all I must say that she has one of the rarest voice.. she can belt C6.. she has clean whistle.. its amazing her strong, highest and deepest voice... Chithra I love you very much..

10 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international ...read more.

Adele has the most unique voice that clearly shows with her record breaking career. As an artist Adele has smashed music history. As a testimony to her voice Adele doesent have to dance, or really perform physically her voice is more than enough to captivate her audience and millions of fans.

Adele no doubt is the best singer of the current generation. Nobody compares to her. She has great vocals as well as has emotions in her voice which most of the singer these days lack.

Adele is a good singer but she needs to not put all the pressure on her vocal cords and need to breathe from her stomach and make sure the sound come out of mouth and not her nose.

Amy Lee and Adele below Shreya Goshal :O
In what world is this called justice!
These are two of the most influential female vocalists of our times, without any teeny tiny bit doubt!

The Contenders
11 Aretha Franklin Aretha Louise Franklin (March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018) was an American singer, songwriter and pianist. She began her career as a child singing gospel at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father, C. L. Franklin, was minister. ...read more.

The fact that Aretha Franklin is way down here proves that the average age of TTT voters is around 12-13, and even the older ones are around 18, and so have zero awareness of the world beyond their school walls.

Are you kidding you put those crappy white gals over Aretha? I guess the original poster was going for boobage.

The greatest singer of all time, bar none.

Are yu serious... aretha should be top top 10

12 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.

One of the most beautiful voices I've heard in my life time. She doesn't only have amazing technique, she also has so much heart - and that's something we need more of in the music industry. Enough with all the trashy pop idols that become big and then everyone forgets about them. We need people with talent and emotion - and Jackie is one of them. So proud of her!

Wow! Just wow I am speechless
I listened to the song angel and totally believed that she is an angel 😇she is a miracle from God, I have never heard someone sung that beautifully, and also looked like that and in addition to all that she is only 15!
She is supposed to be the 1st although that I love all the top ten but she really is number1.
I really fell in love with her and became so jealous too; cause I love singing 2 but once I listen to her I find that I am no thing compared to her.
she really is an angel!

She has the most beautiful Voice a Singer could ever have. She like an Angel when she is Singing And that's something we need more of in the music industry. And She would keep On Singing Well in the next few years to come.

In concert, when Jackie is singing, you not only hear her absolutely perfect voice, but you actually feel her voice touch you. You don't get that from anyone else.

13 Amy Winehouse Amy Jade Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter known for her deep expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz. She is also a well-known member of the 27 Club, as she overdosed on alcohol at age 27.

What?! Amy is the best fusion of jazz, soul and blues. Why in the world is she this far back on the list

Defiantly should be in the top 5. Right along with Lauryn hill mary j blige tweet Monica Jill Scott esthero Res Karen O

This is all about trendy, not talent.

Amy is the best

14 Floor Jansen Floor Jansen is a Dutch singer-songwriter and vocal coach. She is currently vocalist of Nightwish and leader of Revamp.

As she is not very known worldwide, she is one of the best and most powerful singers of Metal, her voice can reach a range of 4 octaves : Eb2 to E6/F6... See YouTube Floor Jansen vocal Range woth Nightwish( the band that she sings with currently ) plus she can turn from a low to a hogh note fast without having any problem, and she can sing for a long while... Her voice doesn't get tired she can sing a lot without getting tired very fast

She's always been a member of a metal band, so doesn't put out material under her own name. If she was a solo artist, she would be much more well-known. Besides the versatile powerhouse voice, she is a natural at projecting emotion and drawing in the audience. Incredible stage presence.

The goddess of metal, the versatility of her voice is unbelievable. Growls, pop, metal, opera, seriously she can sing anything and nail it every single time. For those of you unfamiliar with her I strongly suggest listening to Ghost Love Score, Romanticide, Energize Me, or her cover of Alone.

THE most versatile vocalist. Just not so well known because she is not a mainstream singer. She can really sing everything, from opera to grunting and in the most passionate way possible. She is peerless, a phenomenon, a true force of nature.

15 Florence Welch Florence Leontine Mary Welch is an English musician, singer, and songwriter. She is best known as the lead vocalist of the indie rock band Florence + the Machine.

Florence Welch has a nice strong chest voice and still maintains a light upper register. Though sometimes when she sings live she does not sing her high studio notes. That may be a performance choice. When Florence sings in live settings, her head voice and belts can sound a little uncontrolled due to her expressive singing style. But still, I love her voice and she is my favourite singer.

Beyond strong mid-range belts
Strong falsetto
Great breath control
Rapid-fire vibrato
Builds difficult and clever crescendos in seconds
Excessive back-to-back belting abilities
an hold a note for 27 seconds, which is longer than anyone else listed on this poll.
Grand anthemics and a taste as well as understanding for theater and drama.

Have you seen her live? Have you seen how much enegry and passion she emits during her performances? Have you heard her head voice? And what about her strong and breathtaking chest voice? She is not pop-diva definitely, but it doesn't mean she's not the best

Although she doesn't always use her full vibrato voice, Florence is probably the best singer (Not exactly songwriter) of this age If someone doubts me, listen to Over the Love.

16 Pink Alecia Beth Moore known professionally as P!NK, is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actress.

Always an underdog which I love. There are at least four artists mentioned in the top ten that can't compare to Pinks voice. Live she is so powerful and gutsy! Never need an auto tune! Two rated above her airways need that device. I love the rasp! She's one of a kind in writing, song and performance.

There are no words to describe her vocal talent and ability to sustain its power through such highly energetic and beyond physically taxing performances! Couple this with the raw emotion that flows through her more personal lyrics and you have one truly blessed artist. (in my opinion)

Pink is my number one favorite singer of all! I'm in love with her voice! Should be top 2 or 3 next to Mariah Carey as number 1 in 'this list'. But I listen to Pink more than any singer! Plus her style is so uniquely cool!

Just Perfect!

Amazing vocal range. No autotune bull. All songs are written by herself. A truly inspirational woman that can make anyone support her cause simply though song.

17 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF.

She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She won 4 Guinness World Records, 5 MTV Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 16'ASCAP Pop Music Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards, 14 People's Choice, 1 Juno Award, 2 Myx Music Awards, 3 NRJ Awards, 6 Teen Choice and a Brit Award. ...read more.

Hell no, katy perry can't sing and she has one of the worst voices I've ever heard. Yelling is not powerful. She can't sing live, on her songs it's all computer technology that make her sound better and even then she sounds like crap. Always sounds like she just ran a lap and is out of breath, there's a difference between powerful and just plain out loud and obnoxious. There are so many singers better than this boring, basic blond bimbo but sadly they aren't as famous and don't get as much recognition as this talentless twit. If someone thinks that katy perry is one of the best singers it just shows that they're either 12 years old or they have no taste. I know singing is subjective and some people might like one singer more than another, but this is objective, it's an objective fact that katy can't sing!

I believe the outcome of this list is completely random. Katy Perry's voice is in fact a lot better than Adele's, no matter how much Katy adores Adele. I saw her current show many times over, she sings 2 hours solid with a strong voice top quality, large range, incredible durability, to have Katy rated this low shows that people don't know much about the artists.

In my opinion Katy Perry doesn't sing well when she is live some of her songs are catchy but I don't like what she does with her voice sometimes and I think Ann Wilson has a way more powerful voice.

I could listen to Katy all life long. She's got an angel's voice. I'm not saying I'm a KatyCat, just being honest.. She's got a wonderful voice and can hit high notes really very nicely.

Best " all around female singer on this generation" powerful voice, haunting songs, she does transmit with her voice what the lyrics are. Best singer in the world, hands down

Amy Lee is an amazing singer. She has such control, such volume, that it makes me wish I could carry a tune in a bucket just so I could sing her stuff myself!

This girl deserves top 10 status, a truly powerful voice that easily expresses the meaning of her songs.
