Who are your top 3 female singers? Here are mine:
3. Amy Lee from #Evanescence
2. Sharon den Adel from #WithinTemptation
1. Floor Jansen from #Nightwish (and many others & solo)
PS - any or all 3 are welcomed to sing at my next birthday!

Johnette Napitlano (sp?) Concrete Blonde
Ann Wilson - Heart
Janis Joplin
@Idissent great list - I honestly think Floor is every bit as good as Ann is (and Ann is SO GOOD - she belts, she nails the high/low notes effortlessly, she can hold a note forever, she can almost whisper a melody, and she does some pretty nice growls - she's not a death growler tho (Tuomas of Nightwish doesn't write many songs like that) and she did cover Alone in 2015 that blew the audience away :)
@Idissent she's the lead singer of Nightwish, they have had three different lead singers she is the final singer and by far the best one they have had I will give you a couple links to some good songs by her and Nightwish
@Idissent here's a short tease of How's The Heart by Nightwish - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cblgUE0E0O8
@Idissent This is from 2013 - 1 of Floor's first major shows with Nightwish - this is Storytime
(interesting enough when she answered the call to just finish out a tour in 2012 she had 48 hours to learn the set - they made a documentary out of it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvkYwOJZONU&ab_channel=NuclearBlastRecords
@Idissent this is 1 of their staple songs - Ghost Love Score - it's a song within a song and she blows it away in this performance and she knows it... she had so much fun at the end of the video - BTW the song doesn't end at the 4:31 mark, that's just an interlude that continues for about a minute (climax build up) you'll know when the song ends!

@duglop
Thank you so much for this!
@Idissent my pleasure - I actually had 1 more I wanted to share with you but got tied up
what did you think? I love Ann Wilson, and think if ANYBODY could compare to her, it would be Floor!
@duglop
Oh I think she's fantastic! I'm so glad I asked!
@duglop
I have never even heard of her! I'll find something and listen. Suggestions?
