Who Sings The Best - Selected Female - List 2
Which of these selected ladies sings the best and why? Please, stick to the list below, you may also mention which song you are using as an example to their level of superiority over the others on the list:
* Fiona Apple
* Whitney Houston
* Tina Turner
* Mariah Carey
* Sheryl Crow
Hmm, this is a hard one, but I'm going with Tina. I love the song she did for "Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome." And it seems she just puts more heart into her songs. With a couple of the others, it seems more about showing off their voices, and less about the song.
Although Tina Turner is a veteran she has a hoarse voice (maybe due to age) that does not appeal to me, so in this list I will go with Whitney Houston. Valla was correct in using that sound title by Whitney Houston as an example of her best vocal chords - she is the best of the list in my opinion.
Whitney Houston, followed closely by Mariah Carey would get my vote.
They both have a powerful voice, and both have a unique voice too, in my opinion.
I haven't heard of Fiona Apple, she may be a really good singer, but I don't know, as I haven't heard her sing.
For range and sheer talent I'd say it's a tie between Whitney and Mariah, but for heart I'll pick Tina Turner, raspy voice and all. She's sounded the same since she was very young, JB, I don't think it has anything to do with age.
I've never even heard of Fiona Apple.
I would also have to agree that Whitney is the better singer. "I Will Always Love You" is a heart string puller. Her range on that is amazing. If I only had half the talent she had I wouldn't be wasting it on a drug addiction. Having said that, I do think that Fiona Apple has a unique voice. Her song "Criminal" is really good.
