Indeed!. I agree with you on Judith Durham, but I quite like Bjork. Still, if I had to pick someone on pain of horrible dismemberment, I'd go with Amy Winehouse

Maybe it would have been better to ask who is your favorite female singer. In stead of who is the greatest female singer.

There can be no other.

Every version of a "standard" - jazz or otherwise - that she's recorded is the best version of the song, IMHO.

I'd say she's the best singer of all time regardless of gender too.


I wrote a piece a while back listing my personal top ten female singers and for what it's worth the line-up looks like this :

10. SUSAN TEDESCHI
9. ANNIE LENNOX
8. TRACEY THORN
7. LIZ FRASER
6. MARVA WHITNEY
5. DUSTY SPRINGFIELD
4. ARETHA FRANKLIN
3. BILLIE HOLIDAY
2. ETTA JAMES
1. ELLA FITZGERALD

Thinking about it when ever you see people talk about the greatest anything its always people from countries where english is the first langauge.

Its like there are no great singers outside of the english speaking world.


And yes i am also gulilty of this



i apologize for my awful spelling and grammer.

I can't choose between Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan.
