Jackie gets my vote. She has the most naturally beautiful voice I have ever heard.

Most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my life. In a class all by herself. I would go anywhere to hear her live in concert.

Great singer. She is not appreciated enough.

Méav Ní Mhaolchatha

Of the others listed that I am familiar with, they are all wonderful, competent vocalists. But Méav has the most gifted, naturally beautiful, and pure voice around. In my opinion, she is the perfect combination of technical skill and natural talent.

Méav is total perfection. No one comes close to her. Simply the best.

Love her voice.
