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!
@duglop
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 :)
@duglop
I have never even heard of her! I'll find something and listen. Suggestions?
@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
