Interesting in that a lot of the "best vocalists" are singing someone else's song.
I get pipes, range and vocal talent, I do. But to be the "best" you have to sing your own stuff, write your own stuff, matter: and no covers. Funny how we don't ask who the "Best Male vocalist" is. Why is that? Joni FTW in my mind but frankly it is about so much more than the voice.

Maria Callas, especially "Casta Diva" (Bellini).

Got her out of bed, to sing with the rolling what evers, legendary. If you haven't, watch the entire show Twenty Feet From Stardom

Added to the few I've posted previously in this thread is Laura Guldemond, from the band Burning Witches (Switzerland) - from high-pitch shrieks to low-down growls, and everything in-between (everything that I love in a wimminz singer).
Also Vicky Psarakis from the band The Agonist - awesome, crazy, instantly recognizable voice and style that really does it for me. Last edited by Rawknees'Turbo; 06-04-2021 at 11:35 PM.. |

No way to really answer that question.
So instead, I'm posting a link to one of my favorites from my current playlist: |

Best pop music alto: Karen Carpenter. Even I can sing in at least part of her range.
Most accurate, best vice control: Names like Doris Day, Whitney Houston and Linda Ronstadt. Best labor rally singer: Joan Baez, hands down. I get misty every time I see this one: John Walker turned me on to Eilen Jewel. Good stuff.

I am a musician, and so I admire the technical accuracy and skill, when I see it, just as much as the artistic expression which is so important. This song blew me away, for her skill. Her voice control:
