Through the magic of YouTube I have listened to over a thousand lady singers across all styles - Pop, R&B, Soul, Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Punk, Gospel, Rock, Folk, Country, Metal ... - and judged them on pitch, tone, range, control, phrasing and versatility. These are, in my opinion, the best (live) singers around today.
This search did not include Opera or Musical Theatre, genres as yet impenetrable to my untrained ear.
This is still a provisional list and I would appreciate any suggestions of accomplished live singers I may have missed, especially from the non-English speaking world.
Dianne Reeves
Alison Krauss
Lisa Ono
KD Lang
Christina Aguilera
Fiona Apple
