A few GLARING singers missing:

 

Probably the most brilliant female singer/arranger/composer/musician I've seen, Imogen Heap:

 

 

 

Florence & the Machine (been listening to this a lot lately...like a modern day Grace Slick, even ripped off, er, "wrote" a song about Alice in Wonderland):

I'm also a fan of Paramore's Hayley Williams, Bjork, and early Gwen Stefani. Lady Gaga's one hell of a singer but I can't stand most of her music. Same with Amy Winehouse, phenomenal voice and used to be gorgeous too, but with that mouth I can't listen to more than a couple songs at a time.

Not too many remember Linda anymore from when she used to rock and roll:

Zappa hired Tina and the Ikettes to do some backing vox on the Over-Nite Sensation album. Ike, the control-freak asshole, wouldn't let Zappa pay them more than $25/song each, because that's what Ike paid them. The part on "Montana" was very difficult, but they nailed it after a day. But Tina listened to the part on "Dirty Love," said "Sheeeit, I could do that blindfolded with a broomstick up my ass," and nailed it in three takes -- one for each harmony part. In honor of the Beatles vs. Stones thread:

Just passed yesterday. A friend tipped me to this clip, which I posted this in her RIP thread, but it's so goddamn amazing it belongs here too.

 

 

Nikka brings it live like few others these days:

 

 

.. And so does Gracie:

Apart Chrissie-->which OWNS that song from the middle she is the weirdo

 

 

Not sure exactly what you meant by that, but here's a different Chrissy -- truly acting the weirdo in this one.

 

This is a long ways away from their later hit "I Touch Myself," and powerful as hell.

 

 

 

Going back a few decades -- this one is a classic from 1957. Give it time, let it build:
