For me it's Neko Case in any of her bands.

This one is not likely to be popular here, but I have to be totally honest and say: Miley Cyrus.

Don't get me wrong. I am not really a fan of her or her music (nor am I a hater). But my god does that woman have an incredible voice and a mastery of how to use it.

[-] kvn@midwest.social 25 points 1 year ago

I feel this way about lady gaga. Not really a fan of her but her voice is excellent

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I saw her live and she really does sing well.

Chris Cornell of Sohndgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave

I’m also always impressed by Demi Lovato

[-] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 24 points 1 year ago

For me, has always been Chris Cornell. Absolutely gutted when he died, knowing I'd never hear anything new from him again.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My husband was so depressed when he died.

Serj Tankien

I am a huge Soad fan, but his solo career also counts. The guy has a one in a billion voice, amazing range!

No one mentions Adele?

The chick from paramore

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Adele is the first one I thought of. Her voice is angelic and she doesn’t allow any auto tune use. Respect.

Hayley Williams of Paramore.

Especially since she started experimenting with solo projects. She's so good and very versatile.

James Maynard, I mean how big are his lungs?

[-] 6xpipe_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Maynard James Keenan?

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I think you mean the guy from tool… that’s not his name…

I'm always amazed by Robert Plant when I watch old Zeppelin videos

[-] Skies5394@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Regina Spektor.

For my money no one can convey as much emotion through their voice as her.

Sara Bareilles

Is incredibly precise. Listening to her voice is like listening to what people are hoping for when they’re autotuning, but she nails it.

Hearing Bjork sing “Birthday” on the Sugarcubes’ debut LP was a revelation for me. Still blows me away.

[-] PuffinMcGuffin@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Tetiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer - a Ukrainian metal band. Her ability to go from her growl to her clean vocals is absolutely wild to me.

Andrea Bocelli and Miley Cyrus.

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

The lead singer of the German band, AnnenMayKantereit. (The band name is just three surnames smooshed together.)

Here's my favorite song by them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERRFWuYG48&t=4 which translates to "barefoot at the piano"

Another great song, a bit more up-beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6BmrRLpGJQ&t=3 which translates to "would you go out with me?"

Josh Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet has a hell of a voice.

I'm also surprised that I didn't see anyone mention Mariah Carey.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Lzzy Hale has an incredible voice

[-] apt_install_coffee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Hailey Williams. Wasn't even into that genre at the time, but her voice always made me think "wow, this is pretty good".

When Brandi Carlile’s voice cracks and she belts out the chorus near the end of The Story, it’s just incredible. There are better singers, technically, but the pure, raw emotion conveyed is powerful (to me anyway).

Till Lindemann always gives me the goosebumps.

This Lewis Capaldi dude. He can freaking sing, man.

That's gotta be Antwaun Stanley for me. His work with Vulfpeck and Cory Wong are just phenomenal

Caroline Polachek, Imogen Heap, Charlie Puth, Kim Petras, and occasionally Sia.

Vocal powerhouses.

Dimash Qudaibergen. He has the most incredible voice I've ever heard.

George Michael had an incredible voice and was my singing idol for a long long long time - I'm a contralto so I can't really sing to a lot of female singers unfortunately... His range and timbre... Just amazing.

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Recently it's this girl. https://youtu.be/YYoP9bxwg84

Her voice is out of this world. Sadly I don't know how to write her name. [Symbol]OK

Floor Jansen and Marcela Bovio, especially when they sing live.

[-] bagelberger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Chester Bennington

[-] LosLocoDK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Myles Kennedy. Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeet, that man can sing...

I've seen him live (with Alter Bridge) a couple of times, and it has just blown me away hearing his live performance be as good as if not better than the studio versions.
