Top 10 Female Voices
The following is my list of top 10 females with the best voices in the music world. This list ignores all other factors such as quality of songs, personality, and hotness.
10. Norah Jones
A lot of times I hear Norah Jones's sound being described in the media as "sultry" or "sexy", but I personally don't think those words really fit. I would call it "smooth" and "chill", which makes her music so relaxing to listen to. All I can say is, hopefully she makes another album soon, before her first one burns out from being played all the time in my car.
9. Ashanti
The first time I heard her voice was in the song "Always On Time" with Ja Rule. Even though I always hated Ja Rule, Ashanti made that song a whole lot more bearable. Not much to her other than a cute girl with a sweet-sounding voice, but the charm is in the simpleness I guess.
8. Leigh Nash
She is someone who you have to hear live in a small venue to fully appreciate how quality her voice is. I'm still not a big fan of Sixpence None the Richer, but there's no question that she is just one of those people born with a God-given talent to sing and I can't help but respect that much.
7. Gwen Stefani
As far as her band goes, the only fact about which there is no "no doubt" is that she is the sole reason why they are popular (har har). My favorite Gwen Stefani vocal moment is near the end of "Don't Speak", right after "don't ... don't..." and before "hush hush darling".
6. Beyonce
Kelly Rowland's no slouch, but I like Beyonce's voice more. She recently moved up in the rankings after some quality work with Jay-Z in that song "Bonnie & Clyde", plus the remixes she did with 50 Cent solidified her position in my top 10.
5. Sarah MacLachlan
The main reason Sarah MacLachlan is on the list is because you can't make a list of top female singing voices and not include Sarah MacLachlan. I like some of her songs, and don't like some of her others, but like them or not, you gotta admit that she's got one of the best voices out there.
4. T-boz
Although she is only the third hottest member in TLC, she is definitely the one with the best voice. "Creep" and "Diggin On You" are two of my favorite all time songs, not just among TLC songs but in music period, purely because of her.
3. Alicia Keys
After listening to her CD about 5 times a day, every day senior year of college, I already thought she had an awesome voice. Then me and Olivia went to see her at the Arie Crown Theater, and it blew me away. She has mad talent, that's all I can say.
2. Mariah Carey
Her image and skank-level has fluctuated throughout the years, and she's done songs with just about everyone, including Bone Thugs, Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, and Jermaine Dupri. But one thing hasn't changed over time: the quality of her voice. Not only is it the most recognizable voice out of any of the others on this list, but it is the kind of voice that almost gives you chills to listen to. Good chills, if that makes any sense.
1. Macy Gray
Not only does she have a great voice, but she is sooooooooo fine.
Just kidding.
1. Sheryl Crow
I'm not even really a fan of Sheryl Crow. I only know a few songs, and I don't really like that many of them. "All I Wanna Do" is shoot myself when I hear that song because it is retarded. I got a feeling, I'm not the only one. The duet she has with Kid Rock is a little annoying too. But I gotta say, her voice is pretty much my exact definition of "sexy" when it comes to describing female singing voices.
