Lady Ga ga after a good gig at Glasto!!
bandi carlile, from a jools show last year, same show lykke li,both can sing and not bad looking
Lady Gaga's got a great voice, Paparazzi really shows it off well, real character and flavour to her vocals (decent range too). But I find her stage show/persona a total turn-off, can't be bothered with bands who spend more time thinking about how they look than how they sound.
Shireen Laine from the Slingbacks/ now the Lumiere Brothers is probably my favourite female vocalist, she's just got such an expressive, varied, characterful voice. Very distinctive... Like a punk rock edith piaff. It does help that I used to fancy her rotten when I was about 15.
I've just been watching Natasha Khan at Glasto - impressive
stop calling it Glasto.. guardian readers pah!
Joni Mitchell and Zoe Johnston. And of course re. Mariah Carey I can only say:
OMG she is like so awseme! my fav song is HERO we sing it at school ahhhhhhhh she is the best female singer out of this list with whitany ahhhhhhhh bye xxx(:
going back about 14 years now.. sonya vallet. she sang Big city lover for dj Krush.shara nelson with massive attack and on her tod stands out as well.
Dusty and Kate B

Woohoo, The Slingbacks get a mention. If we're going into obscure bands with female vocalists, there's Drugstore, Linoleum and The Julie Dolphin. Oh, and the Innocence Mission, and The Violet Hour. I can't remember the singers names, but I love all of those bands.
