Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Sarah Brightman CBF I am a big fan too (shocker ) Different genre, but I like Sara Barreleis.
The Poojer Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 #26, how can she have been forgotten???? http://youtu.be/NAZTzaQ-sSc
rockpile Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 No way to pick one. Here is a vote for Emmylou Harris!
The Poojer Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Ugh, how could I have forgotten Aimee Mann & Zooey Deschanel???
Gugny Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Ugh, how could I have forgotten Aimee Mann & Zooey Deschanel??? Quick Aimee Mann story for you. My buddy is a HUGE fan. He went to see her at The Egg in Albany, NY (very small, intimate venue). She asks the crowd if they have any requests. My buddy yelled out (tongue in cheek joke) "Freebird!!" She had a chuckle, then called him up onto the stage. She said they didn't know Freebird, but they could get through Sweet Home Alabama ... and HE was going to stay on the stage and sing background vocals; which he did. Pretty cool/unforgettable experience for him.
birdog1960 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 flame away. just saw tony bennet and lady gaga on the dvr. i hate the meat clothes, and i'm loathe to admit it, but the lady really can sing:
Buftex Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 So many great ones...can't name just one. But, going to see one of my very favorites of all time, tomorrow night! Chrissie Hynde!
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I'm hungry for some Karen Carpenter.
Gugny Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I'm hungry for some Karen Carpenter. I just lost my appetite.
GG Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Favorite? No such thing, all depends on the mood. But won't turn off a song by Sarah Vaughn, Aretha, Jill Scott, Amy Winehouse. No way can I only say there's one absolute favorite.

I get that he was joking and this is an awesome story - but if I'm at a show and anyone yells free bird at any time I will immediately go punch them in the balls
The Poojer Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 i saw her a couple months ago with Ted Leo (The Both), she is a Richmond girl and I was gonna yell out something like Bon Air(the part of town she grew up in) but I didn't want to be 'one of those' people to yell out at a show, and i was only about 4 feet from her...but i agree with PaattMann....a swift punch in the nether regions is punishment for a 'free bird'...hell, foggy mountain breakdown is a better alternative Quick Aimee Mann story for you.

But for anyone who's ever played in a bar band, it's just an ongoing joke. And my buddy said it as such. It worked out well for him; that's for sure! (side story: this guy is morbidly obese - like over 500 lbs. Many years ago, he was at a stand-up show and the "comedian" spent a good 20 minutes+ telling not-so-funny fat jokes at my buddy's expense. The Aimee Mann experience was a good way to help wipe that bad memory away)
IDBillzFan Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Since you ask for vocalist (which implies the singer as well as the singer's voice), it's Whitney Houston. If you asked for favorite female singing voice, it has to be Barbra Streisand. It's the talking that makes her unbearable.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 So many great ones...can't name just one. But, going to see one of my very favorites of all time, tomorrow night! Chrissie Hynde! Thought of her late yesterday. Greatness.

Security Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I like Shirley Manson too from Garbage. Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a favorite. Was in love with Dolores O’Riordan from the Cranberries and her voice. Kim Deal from the Pixies, and I like Bjork a lot. Solo artist favorite is Kate Bush. Edited November 19, 2014 by Security
RuntheDamnBall Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 No, YOU are. I'm in the minority on this one, but I love Corin Tucker's howl and vibrato. Nina Simone, Bjork, Annie Lennox, Emmylou, Aretha, Beth Orton, PJ Harvey, Chan Marshall... why pick just one!?
