Jewels are very good Shames are... well,you know.


Jewels:

Simone Simons -Epica


Simone is like the female voice for my cup of tea.Agressive,powerful and yet emotional.On The Classical Conspiracy she proved that she is not just the looks.
And her lyrics are just sth i can't describe.if there are female singers on metal scene who produces good music Simone is one of them. i'm sure. Also she has a versatile and charisma that a lot of fronperson lacks off.

Annlouice Loegdlund - Diablo Swing Orchestra


Before i listened D.S.O i was thinking that i was done for soprano voices.Because many of them were so samey and sounded pathetic to my ears.But i was so wrong.i was amazed for the first second when i listened her vocal performance on Balrog Boogie.In the whole album she just shines like a star.And with the second album Annlouice gives a serious competiton to her competitors

Lily Allen


i love this crazy girl.She is the cure for popular music.Her music is deadly when it combines with funny & smart lyrics and her sweet vocals.

Julie Kiss - To-Mera


The most underrated female singer on metal area.i totally adore her vocals on To-mera.She has a mystic voice that makes her unique.Besides her lyrics are interesting and beautiful.

Charlotte Gainsbourg


Charlotte's deep and haunting vocals were there when i need peace and comfort.Her voice is always inside my head.and she is an amazing actress(i mean da fucking awesome Antichrist ) .You go girl.

Riina Rinkinen - Silentium


An underrated singer who has an awesome and unique in gothic metal scene.(yeah i say that) Her passionate vocals on Silentium made me focus on the band.

Vibeke Stene - ex Tristania (Unfortunately)


First of all,i'm not against Mary.i just dont like her and still find her deficient on old songs.But still i dont blame her.Because -goddamnit- it is Vibeke's place that she tries to fill.and it is so normal i mean.

Shames

Kate Nash


Her voice brings whine,whine and more whine.And i beg for god's sake please dont cover Arctic Monkey's songs again.i mean seriously, everything that comes from her is so wrong.

That chick from Forever Slave
nopicforyoubecauseidontwannaknowhername

Everytime i listen her , she gives a headache to my head and make my ears bleed .She is a cancer on metal scene.And her live performance isn't singing it is sth that i cant and maybe dont want to describe.

Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy


Queen of the overrated singers.She isnt good as a harsh vocalist.There are plenty of better than her who deserve more fucking recognition.it is just sex and it really sells.

Maria Brink from In This Moment


She looks like a retarded and retired pornstar that choose music for earning money.i go into lol so hard that it makes me breathless at some point when i see photos of her.
And she isnt good at neither harsh vocals nor clean ones.


Manda Ophius from Nemesea ?


Her voice is so boring.Actually she has an nice live performance but again her voice is so boring and predictable?Definately.

Melissa Ferlaak from ex Visions of Atlantis


Again a boring soprano with mediacore performances.and her thoughts about nightwish is so funny.

And singers that i find overrated.They are not bad but still.

Björk
Anneke van Giersbergen &Agua de Annique ok, she is perfect, i admit this.
Doro
Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation
Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil
Marcela Bovio from Stream of Passion
