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 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!
