Greatest woman vocalist you have heard

Hey guys hows it going?I've done a few forms on musicians and most of the post where about men.Now i want to do one about women and there have been many great woman vocalist.My favorites are Joan Baez and Stevie Nicks(she was totally beautiful to haha)what about you guys?

 

Tori Amos. Love her music. Even called my first child Tori!

 

LeAnn Rimes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I62uwbyD2pU She was 14 when she recorded her first hit single "Blue"

 

P.J Harvey. God damn that woman is amazing. I listen to any P.J album from the start or from now, and it is all 100% REAL emotion.

Beth Gibbons from Portishead as well, another really soulful singer, like P.J, very very depressing lyrics, but you can tell when a singer is singing out real $#!+ and that is why I love Portishead so much

Is this desire is my favourite track from her...but there are so many others.

I also like Sarah Blasko...aus chick no peeps here will know.

Think it's pretty hard to say Greatest. Depends on the mood I'm in.

Generally something by Norah Jones I find great.
And anything done by Celtic Women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfO6JpR5Ip8
