Tough call.... I really like Amy Studt and Avril Lavignes voices... they're not beautiful but they are gritty and full of emotion. becx |

Yep, I go along with Karen Carpenter and Celine Dion. Also like Dido's unusual voice, but not too keen on her latest release. |

Eva Cassidy has got a lovely voice. So has Mariah Carey, Christina Aguillara, Katie Melua. I wish I could sing. My voice is the worst ever which is a shame 'cos i'd have made a great popstar lol!!! Jack |

Hi Dave, I think Heather had babies and took time out but I'm not sure. I did know Kirsty's Dad was Ewan my husband used to play in a folk group so I know more about folk music than I really want to! I love Roberts Flack's version of The First Time. I usually think that the people who write the songs sing them better than anyone else (eg. Tom Rush - No Regrets) but Roberta made that song hers.

Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee a close second in the Jazz world and then that Glorious Moari KIRI Tekanawa in the world. |

For me it has to be Kirsty McColl - brilliant singer/songwriter whose life was cut short by an idiot driving a speed boat. Then Dory Previn and Beth Neilson Chapman. I enjoy a lot of women vocalists but the women who write and sing their own stuff impress me more than the others. Gwynne |

Seriously as well, I can first remember Karen Carpenters wonderful voice first time round . Listen to her recordings today and remember there was no computerised "pitch adjustment" as now which can make anyone sound okay (well perhaps not the two Hildas) Bob |

Janet Baker. Lesley Garrett is OK but not great - very uncomfortable on the high notes. len |

My husband would certainly agree with you about Karen Carpenter, and I really like Barbra Streisand. Diane |
