[RobertW]

if yoiu haven't heard the wild colonials, you have to hear Angela McCluskey. beautiful voice.

 

[MarkHastings]

Wow, all these opinions and just one mention of Eva Cassidy so far

I am in a band with a female singer and she criticizes a lot of singers, so when she told me how awesome a voice Eva had, I had to hear it for myself.

Definitely a beautiful voice.

Karin Bergquist from Over the Rhine.

I don't think anyone mentioned her here, but I immediately thought of the late Sandy Denny- especially when she was with Fairport Convention in the late 60's, early 70's.

Maybe it's the British accent, but her voice was so sweet and clear.

Got to play the song "Tam Lin" for Halloween.

 

[Lewis Collins]

I still get goose bumps listening to Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris & Dolly Parton - together or individually.:p)

 

[Frank_S]

Eva Cassidy!

 

[Marvin]

I don't know for sure if she does or doesn't have the Most Beautiful Voice but Judy Collins at least deserves a mention.

 

[Rick Deschaine]

Tom beat me to the punch, but I will wholeheartedly vote for her,

Neko Case

If any of you haven't listened to "Blacklisted", well then get right out there and stop wasting your time and purchase that sucker! Best release of 2002 IMHO.

Has anyone mentioned the late great Minnie Ripperton. Most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

 

[dpippel]

I'm gonna throw down for Eva Cassidy as well. Her voice was amazingly beautiful, almost beyond compare. It's such a pity that her life ended when she was so young.
If you've never heard her then run, don't walk, to your nearest music store and pick up a copy of Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley. If you're not a fan after listening to this recording then please, check your pulse.

Mariah can be shockingly good when she makes an effort at it.

I posted this above. After I attended Mariah Carey's concert this past Friday, I have to restate that. She was in extremely good voice (and form ), and she gave a great performance. I would love to hear her do some material that would challenge her considerable vocal talent.

 

[Larry Fletcher]

Andrea Corr.

 

[TheLongshot]

I would love to hear her do some material that would challenge her considerable vocal talent.

Funny, I was just talking about this to my fiancee Saturday.

She does have a nice voice, but it is so misused in the pop crap that she usually sings. I actually still like her first album, but she follows the pattern of most pop vocallists who get popular, and their songs get worse...

[Danny Tse]

I agree, Jason.

At her concert on Friday night, she did a fantastic job with "Vision of Love" and "Make It Happen", both from her first album. Encore was "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

I added another to my list:

Anne Murray

I love anything done by this woman. My favorites are Broken Hearted Me and You Needed Me.

I also agree with Mariah Carey. Hero is my favorite of hers, along with All I Want For Christmas Is You.
