Who is your favourite female singer?

[Johnny Vinyl]

How about some Sinead O'Connor..

 

[NorthStar]

I like Sinead (on some tunes, not all).

 

[garylkoh]

For a change of pace.... Renee Fleming is one of my favourite sopranos. Here she is performing Casta Diva, the cavatina from Norma by Vincenzo Bellini

 

[Ronm1]

Lyambiko has been a favorite for awhile now. Fine voice with standards and contemporary. She has a Nina Simone quality so her tribute album works well!!!!

 

[NorthStar]

I really like Isabel Bayrakdarian. She's a Soprano.

If you have a chance of a time, give her a listen!

 

[DS-21]

ADELE.

SIA:

Those two, along with Natalie Merchant, are my top three.

Sia puts on a great live show, too. I've seen her twice, once with Zero7 in ATL and once solo at the House of Blues in NOLA. Looking forward to catching her again in ATL next month.

I have always found something to love about that odd voice of Toni Childs, this is particularly true of her earlier works like House of Hope. Then there is Janis Ian's Breaking Silence.

 

[Lee]

I like Rebecca Pidgeon a lot.

 

[class a]

Dinah Washington, she could sing the Mcdonalds menu and I'd buy it.

 

[NorthStar]

I did mention Susie previously, but you need a complete album of her to truly appreciate her voice.

 

[Roger Dressler]

Here's three of my top Go To girls:

Alison Krauss
Martina McBride
Lara Fabian

 

[fas42]

A few off the top of my head from various genres:

Kiri Te Kanawa
Toni Childs
Tina Turner
Shirley Bassey
Doris Day

I guess this means I like them to project either punchy personality, or cosy warmth ...!!

Are you Roger? Thee Roger? ...I thought we already have a Roger Dressler!

Perhaps just pure coincidence? Just the exact same name!

EDIT: You are the true Roger Dressler, because you own Classe gear!
Then, who's the other one who I thought it was you? (He's from Nevada, and not Oregon!)

I think I've been mistaking for quite a long time, I feel pretty stupid now!

I am Thee OTHER Roger.

 

[NorthStar]

I am Thee OTHER Roger.

Yeah, I realized that by now Mr. srrndhound!

Welcome Roger to WBF! :b ...Glad that the real Roger (ex-Mr. Dolby) is finally here.

Sorry about that!
