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 |

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

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.

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 |

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

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

oh this is a tough one. Dusty Springfield was indeed a fabulous singer, sadly lacking in self confidence (apparrently), but capable of pouring a huge amount of emotion into her songs. I could think of lots more to fit into a top 10 but many of them are personal favourites rather than great singers per se (Stevie Nicks, also previously mentioned, is one of my favourites), but I think I'll stick with Dusty for the moment. NB Whilst I can appreciate the voices orf the Celine Dions and Barbara Streisands of this world, I personally dislike both of them :) |
