All my favorites have been mentioned. For historical reference, though, you have to give props to Judy Garland and Julie Andrews.

I'm not one that is a big opera fan but this woman, Barbara Padilla, blew me away on America's Got Talent, a show I also do not often watch.

Her singing made me feel this statement by Morgan Freeman's character from Shawshank Redemption when Tim Robbins' character put opera on the prison PA system.

"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free"

Another vote here for Alison Krauss, her voice will cut right through you. It's what I imagine the voice of an angel would be.

Starscream · 12-04-2009, 09:09 PM

Michael Jackson?

Seriously...

I'm with Sean and will go with Shirley Bassey.
Alicia Keys
Jilll Scott
Erykah Badu

Didn't see the only one vote part. I'll have to go with Jill Scott over Alicia Keys if I had to choose.

Mark C · 12-05-2009, 07:38 AM

I'm down with Alison Krauss, awesome and unique vocalist.

But this list ain't complete without Martina McBride:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHAy9e5I-nY CD version is even better.

Doris Day had a powerful instrument and knew how to use it. Pure, clean and true. It's a shame that she got pigeon holed into novelty tunes. Her earlier stuff was incredible. If we're talking current vocalists, I like Anna Nalick,

And she sings good too!

CBI_2 · 12-05-2009, 07:09 PM

An old one we missed. Lena Horne

Absolutely

She really hit her peak (vocally) before her movie career took off.
