Would like to add Melody Gerdot - Worrisome Heart ; Wicked Ride along with Susan Tedschi - It Just Won't Burn .
As usual, I can't pick just one. Four come to mind. Not necessarily for their style but for their powerful voices
Julie Andrews
Petula Clark
Celine Dion
Lady Gaga
Today I love Hayley Westenra. But I used to love Debbie Harry in "Blondie."
Great taste Cindy!
I am going to offer a torch singer who sings in both English and French named Stacey Kent. Her "The Boy Next Door Is Sexy" but her "I've Got A Crush on You" is heart-melting. "I've got a crush on you, ...sweetie...pie...all the day and nighttime...hear me sigh!..." She can make a sane man crazy!
Joan Jett
Amy Lee
Faith Hill
Miranda Lambert
Barbara Streisand
Alicia Keys
Diana Krall
Avril Ramona Lavigne
Alanis Morisette
Nina Cancer from 45 Grave
Brody Dalle from The Distillers/Spinnerette and solo career.
