No one's mentioned Beth Gibbons of Portishead yet?! Her voice is amazing...absolutely haunting on many of the tracks. The live version of "Sour Times" is to this day the only song that's ever made me cry she sings it with SO much emotion.

I also like aretha franklin, just power and soul.
I had an ex who was a big Fiona Apple fan and I grew to like her voice a lot too.
ghosty Reviewed by ghosty on . Who is your favorite Female Singer? And Why? Mine is Amy Winehouse. To me she has a combination of the most beautiful and powerful voice I have ever heard. And I love every song she has. Too bad she's a crack head........:mad: Rating: 5
