Vote for Shirley Bassey 18) Shirley Bassey

If more people were aware of this lady, then Dame Shirley Bassey (Wales, United Kingdom) would be right at the top of the list. Back in 1976 Shirley received Britain’s prestigious ’Best Female Vocalist Of The Last 50 Years of Recorded Sound’; this award is not given out very often! And, after 55 years in Show Business her voice is more powerful than ever! Bassey is a mezzo pitch (Mid-Range) artist. Her vocal range in ’Belting Voice’ (No Falsetto) is spectacular, along with her tremendous vocal projection. In the USA Bassey is know for her three James Bond Theme songs, Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker, but you can’t sale between 100-150 Million records with just three songs. Over the years, Bassey has recorded over 600 songs, both studio and LIVE!

Tommy93101

Lots of power and passion. Haven’t heard her sing lately.

Sorry People Shirley is the greatest female singer in the last 30 years.

Vote for Selena Quintanilla-Pérez 19) Selena Quintanilla-Pérez

SELENA WAS AND STILL IS THE # 1.

Yamilette30PRG

selena was a wonderful singer. it is really a shame that she was taken from her family, friends, and fans so soon. she already made it big and accomplished alot in her short lifetime. imagine what it would be like if she was still here.

exposeandselenafan

Selena could do it all,english pop,spanish of all styles, R&B. She would have been huge were she not taken away from us so young and as her career was really taking off.

Vote for Barbra Streisand 24) Barbra Streisand

How can anyone who actually hears that voice, vote any other way? Ignore the politics, the control issues, and the questionable acting choices, she is the greatest female pop voice of the last 60 years. At nearly 66, she can still leave audiences breathless with her emotional power but when she was younger, no living person could even approach her clarity and vocal control.

Barbara has been my favorite Singer & Actress since the 70’s when I was growing up. In the 70’s I was a teenager, & all my friends used to tell me that I look like Barbara Streisand. That made me feel so Special. There was a look alike contest when I was a teenager, but I was not able to make it because my brother & sister were in the hospital at that time. Barbara Has An Awesome Voice & I will always enjoy Her Songs! She is the best 100!

’The Legend Of The Century", Miss Barbra Streisand has broken ALL Major Awards, even before the age of 30. 71 Albums, and the Greatest Selling Artist of ALL time, second only to Elvis, and has surpassed the Beatles. The "VOICE" from "GOD".

Vote for Britney Spears 25) Britney Spears

Vote for Charice Pempengco 27) Charice Pempengco

You don’t find the Mariah Careys everyday - they come once in a while. The Whitney Houstons, they don’t happen all the time. [We] think Charice is literally that, that next to Whitney, next to Mariah,

Vote for Tori Amos 30) Tori Amos

How the heck was tori left off this list to begin with? She’s probably the most emotive female vocalist of all time, and yet somehow she doesn’t even make the top 224? Ridiculous.

Vote for Martina McBride 31) Martina McBride

Martina is my all-time favorite singer. You actually know she means every word she sings.

Cecelia

Martina is one of the world’s top vocalists, whether it be power ballads like "Where Would You Be" and "A Broken Wing" or the soft yet very powerful "Concrete Angel". Martina is the BEST singer out there and should be up in the Top 3!

she is an awesome singer she should be up on the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vote for Marilyn McCoo 32) Marilyn McCoo

She is not only a superb technical singer but her voice has incredible depth and body very few if any female vocalist have!

She has the clearest highest quality voice I have ever heard in my 50 years. She has the perfect combination of a powerful voice yet it is a very beautiful sounding voice. She is just not a superb technical singer. Her voice comes from hear heart. The songs she sings. "one less bell to answer", "love lines angels and rhymes", "if I could reach you" and others no other female vocalist could sing could even come close to singing those songs as well as her! Her voice is magical! Mariln
Mccoo is the best in my book!

Vote for Janis Joplin 33) Janis Joplin

I am flabbergasted by her absence in this list, where she should definitely be number 1.

You got to be kidding me! 0. 2 of the vote?!?!? come on people, get real, listen to some real music! Janis Joplin’s voice is incomparably better than anyone’s since or before her. All these "great" singers you have before her on this list are bland, boring, and all sound the same. lets get some love for Janis in here!

Epitaph1967

Whitney Houston is but a little speck of dust on Janis’ voice, which excels brilliance. I am appalled at her shamefully low place on the list.

DrStrangelove

Vote for Ella Fitzgerald 34) Ella Fitzgerald

Thumbs down, no ones better.

Greenmean

I agree with those below... Britney "changed the music scene" forever... what a joke! Only if changing it means embarrassing all the truly talented people out there by being an idiot and endangering her children. Ella is and always will be a classic! She deserves #1... she is The Lady, you know?

;)

My wife, a great singer in her own right, predicts that Ella will finish in first or 2nd place.

Vote for Miley Cyrus 35) Miley Cyrus

Miley really is a wanderful singer! She is nice, peasful and belives. She may be 45 in the top singers, but deep down, all you people know she should be in the top 10! So Miley, keep on rockin’!

Miley is a very good singer! shame on you
she should be in the top ten.

Myley Cyrus U ARE D Best. I Love u!

Vote for Dolores O´Riordan (Cranberries) 36) Dolores O´Riordan (Cranberries)

Dolores has a mesmerizing voice that can sooth a baby to sleep on a ballad and still rock out with such entrancing clarity.
She also writes her own lyrics and music, plays guitar,keyboards,mandalin,piano

cranfan4ever

voice, spirit, personality.. you want more?

An stunning voice, so unique and special that its hard to believe its real, with an immensity of different sounds that only she can do.

Vote for Leona Lewis 37) Leona Lewis

This generation’s Whitney Houston

One of the best female singers that I have ever heard. She manages to put all the technical things into singing yet draw so much emotion out of a song. Many female artists are great in the sense that they have a huge vocal range and are able to sing everything in tune, but a truly great singer is someone who is able to make the audience feel what the song is about, at the same time.

she is talented her voice dos remind me of mariah but with less tone more power she is 100 percent talented nothing bad everything good

Vote for Katie Melua 38) Katie Melua

Open the way for this girl’s exellent voice and talent. She’s rather new in the game, but her music takes you definately higher.

Vote for Aretha Franklin 41) Aretha Franklin

She swept all the grammys for almost all awards she was nominated for. Her collaboration with Lauryn Hill in "A Rose Is Still A Rose" is my favourite

hayreanmarjon

#42? She’s getting the musicares award this year, I think she should be at least in the top 30. Give her some "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" please!

quazzie834

This list is whack if it has Aretha Franklin ranked behind Nelly Furtado... come on dayum!

Vote for Sarah McLachlan 42) Sarah McLachlan

she has the voice of an angel... I can’t believe she’s not in the top 10!

I agree with this one. All mentioned singers are great but sarah mclachlan has such a beautiful voice and she is an amazing songwriter. She is world class and in a league of her own. You get lost in her songs. love her

If we are talking about the greatest singer and artist who writes her own music and lyrics I have no doubt that Sarah MacLachlan is my favorite. She is amazing.

Vote for Iryna Bilyk 43) Iryna Bilyk

I LOVE YOUR SONGS! YOU ROCK!

Vote for Kelly Clarkson 45) Kelly Clarkson

Kelly is the best American Idol winner. And the first as well. What I like about Kelly is she is real, and she sings very passionatley, from her heart. Not only can she belt out Aretha/soulful tunes like she is a sista, but she can also sing soft rock songs, like on her latest album. I bought all her albums, and the first one she put out didnt’ sell as well as the others, but it was amazing her range, and all the different styles she incorporated in each song. I love the fact she has variety in her style, and has a powerful voice, and reach high notes close to mariah’s.

I love Kelly. She’s not just the best singer, but a very good person, too.

she has the voice of a really old soul singer when i first heard her on the radio i thought she was black bout mid 40 then i so her on tv and there was this really beautiful young woman i think in bout 10 years time people will talk bout her like they do whitney she is my fave singer of all time that voice sends shivers up my spine

Vote for Pat Benatar 46) Pat Benatar

ONE OF THE BEST QUALIFIED VOICES OF OUR TIME. A ROCK ALL TIME ICON

No one can touch her for range. She’s trained in Opera for heaven’s sake. If you want to say some other female singer has better songs.. that’s fine. But if we’re only talking about voice quality.. I don’t see how she’s not #1.

My daughter thinks Pat Benatar is the best

Vote for Connie Francis 47) Connie Francis

She has a golden voice, unfortunatly most young people don’t even know her. Perhaps you don’t like the kind of music she made, but you have to admit she certainly can sing

Connie Francis,has always been respected in Brazil for her great talent, mainlyher ability to sing in forein languages inclding Portuguese.
Besides, no other singer has that much love and respect for her fans as Connie does. We in return, love her to death and are very loyal and supportive.
I do hope that she comes back to Rio soon. We miss her a lot.

JulioFromRio

Connie Francis is still one of the
best-selling female artists of all time, and one of the most versatile. She is the world’s first
"Queens of Pop", and second to none!!!!

The best rock voice in the business, it’s a shock she isn’t in your top 20.

Wow I can’t beleive this list who’s voting KIDS? This list is a joke I’m not saying that the other women can’t sing, but come on. Olivia has one on the best voices ever you know her voice because it’s sounds like and angel.

domecity

I Agree whole heartedly !!! Olivia does sing like an Angel !!!
She has always been underated..However, for Millions of Fans worldwide She will always be number #1.

Many voices on this list are impressive, even wonderful. But Olivia’s is surely the most ethereally beautiful voice you’ll ever hear. It illuminates Faulkner’s faith in prevailing, not enduring; it calls forth goosebumps; it’s a gift, pure and simple.

Vote for Cascada 51) Cascada

STEFANI IS IN FACT A GOOD SINGER

Vote for Tammy Wynette 53) Tammy Wynette

Tammy was the "First Lady of Country Music" because she was the first woman singer to sell a million copies of an album. She actually sold more than five million copies of Stand By Your Man! She was also known as the heroin of heartbreak because of her troubled life and that little tear drop in her voice.

Tammy is so unique among female country singers... what a sweet voice! when I listen to her singing "stand by your man" it always brings back memories of more innocent times.

can never forget the legends.

In one word I can say - There is no alternative to K.S. Chithra, there was and there will be.

When you hear K.S. Chithra’s songs, I think it is just like raining.

greatest singer ever in the world

Vote for Kate Bush 61) Kate Bush

I am happy there are some Kate Bush fans here. I just listened to Sarah Brightman a little since I don’t know her well and all I could think of was ’I prefer Kate Bush’. Sorry, I may be wrong but Kate deserves some love.

Kate has been one of the most influential artists ever. She deserves to be included in the top ten. A voice that makes you shiver...

Kate is a great songwriter and has incredible range in her voice.

Vote for Maria Callas 62) Maria Callas

I simply can’t believe how ignorant the people voting on this poll are to have both Maria Callas and Edith Piaf not in the top 5... makes me despair!

Maria has without doubt the greatest female voice of all time. there’s not a singer before or since that compares.

Amazing voice, a gifted singer.

Vote for Bjork 63) Bjork

you are underestimating her you swines! vote

Bjork has one of the most unique voices of all time and the great thing is that she can write her own songs as well...

Not only she sings in a unique way but also she creates unique music. She is way ahead from any other singer on Earth and she deserves a good position for her artistic creativity

Vote for Natalia Oreiro 65) Natalia Oreiro

Vote for Eva Cassidy 66) Eva Cassidy

Yep. I’ve listened to her for about 10 years now. I never get over the absolute purity and genuine communication. Mariah and Whitney do not share this ability.

I just found Eva a week ago, and I can’t get over her voice. Oh Danny Boy, Fields of Gold, and many more show her powerful and sweet voice even when she is singing softly.

When I saw the title to this list, Eva Cassidy and Karen Carpenter came to mind immediately. I also think k.d. lang has an amazing voice.

Vote for Giorgia Fumanti 67) Giorgia Fumanti

In my viewpoint,after having her CD and seeing her perform "Live" Giorgia definitely belongs here. You must hear her CD "From My Heart"

Penguin45

Her new Cd "From My Heart" is amazing showing off her immense talents and singing from Her Heart with such passion and love. I have seen her in Concert, too, and think she will soon be known to everybody as one of the greatest singers of all time.

Penguin

I saw her live, she serenaded me, and fell in love. The most beautiful, powerful and well controlled voice by far. Buy her CD, you won’t regret it... I had to. The only others even close are Celine Dion and Sara Brightman. All the women ranked above her don’t have the whole package. Take for examples, Sarah McLachlan: Sweet voice but not very powerful or as well controlled. Christina Aguillera: Powerful and well controlled, but not as sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I love these ladies too, especially because they have amazing song writing abilities too, but pure singing, they can’t compare with my lovely, the one, the only Giorgia Fumanti.

Vote for Gladys Knight 68) Gladys Knight

The Queen Of Soul

yall I would say Gladys Knight is one of the best of our time. she is unbeatabaell when it comes to singing. if you lisen to here sing you will know what I mean. I can’t beleve yall did not put her on here. I just love the sound in her voice when she sings. there will never be another like her. and we will allways rebmber her even after she is gone.

Vote for Pink 69) Pink

So beautiful!
I love her voice.

I love that she wrote Dear Mr. President - what a wonderful song that tells such a true story. Pink you are an amazing singer - beautiful voice!

her voice is so amazing she has a pure raw talent i bet mariah cant sing like she dos she has a mighty pear of lungs and her songs are the best she is one of the best singer and song writers ever family portrait made me cry

Vote for Mary J. Blige 70) Mary J. Blige

Mary J Blige is the greatest R&B female singer since Whitney Houston .She should be in the top 10 for her amazins work she is phonomanal.

Mary J. is one of my favorites. Mainly becuase not only can she sing, with power and conviction, but she seeps emotion. When she sang "No more Drama" at the Grammy awards a few years back, even Celine Dion was standing up, clapping, shaking her head like, "this woman is amazin!" that is great. I love Mary J Blige style, and strength as a woman, and what she sings about in her lyrics. I will be buying her next album too.

i cut for her because she sings about real things and trys to make feel what she been through. Also it don’t always be about her she try to make it to where it can relate to most of the people in this world

Vote for Annie Lennox 71) Annie Lennox

Come on now....Annie should be in the top 10 for sure!
She posseses one of the most soulful voices ever. She is so admired and respected by her contemporaries. She is such a dynamic and powerful live performer. What a mark she has left on the musical landscape!

Could any of the above reach the notes in ’There must be Angel’ the way Annie does. I DON’T THINK SO!! This is the vote for the best female VOCALIST, not the best female who can get her picture in the magazines without even singing a note!!!

WHY ON EARTH IS THIS LADY NOT IN THE TOP TEN. I am shock and stunned. Annie has one of the best voices in the world, apart from whitney & Aretha. What is wrong with this world.

Vote for Nina 85) Nina

Nina seems to be one of the greatest vocal not only in the Philipiines but in Asia... She can easily do the whistle note and hits the high chest notes.. She’s so wonderful and beautiful inside and out... So open the gates The SOUL SIREN IS COMING...

Nina is the one and only Soul Siren of the Philippines as well as of Asia. When you say versatile its Nina. Very talented diva. She can sing any genres add to it she can also dance as gracefully as you can imagine.

One of the best vocalist in the world..she can do coloratura passages easily and she has great vocals hitting a high note.... She’s truly a soulful singer... a true FILIPINO talent!

Vote for Alanis Morrisette 86) Alanis Morrisette

The best female rocker ever..Jagged Little Pill n Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie..

hayreanmarjon

It’s interesting to note the wide diversity of female singers we are comparing here. Some like britney are just froth and bubble, some are vocal gymnasts such as Whitney and Celine, some are out and out pop like Madonna. The fact is if you are really after the whole dynamic range that includes sensitivity, ballads and power rock, then there is only one beautiful star: Alanis. If you doubt here ’octave range’ try to hear ’’one’ live. It will make your hair stand on end.

There is no one to touch Alanis as a singer, she is awesome

Vote for Joan Baez 87) Joan Baez

Joan Baez really should be the no. 1 of the list. If you are not convinced, just listen yourself.

Donna Fargo captured million of fans in the 70’s and 80’s with her heartfelt country tunes. Donna was one of the few country singers to crossover to pop, which she did in a big way. Donna Fargo also brought youth to country music in the 70’s.

She has unbelievable talent in making a breakthrough in music. Imagine her album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", was the first Hip Hop album to win Grammy’s Album of the year.

hayreanmarjon

How could Lauryn not be number 1?!?! She blows everyone else away. Come back Lauryn!

She is incredible! Not only can she sing these beautiful soulful melodies, but she can also rap very well, and write her own lyrics and poetry. She is a poetess, and that talent serves well when you are a song writer. Her album, "miseducation of lauryn hill" is the best album of all time. like eve said,regarding Lauryn’s album, "it is like scripture to me."
