Britney Spears sings quite well, and she is SEXY also.
I vote her! :biggrin:

No problem with Britney if "favorite" refers to looks. Mrs. Britney, I now have to say.

As far as listening goes, Diana Ross back in her early days with the Supremes is hard to beat, and Dusty Springfield had a distinctive voice, as did Gale Garnett.

I also love Mariah Carey's songs, but she seems screwing up her personal lifeby getting involved in drugs.
 
Ooohh, Britney

You are so sexy and healthy...

Recon, you're so nostalgic. :smile: But, you know I watch that movie every Christmas, and I always get a little teary-eyed!

My favorite female singer? I'll go with Etta James.

Celine Dion is good also, and i also like Roxette.

Lesley Garrett is a good singer even if we are talking a different genre.
 
  • #21
Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Nix, Diana Krall, Dido, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Janis Joplin (gasp...what?)...are some that I like.

(Oh, and I think Britney and Christina are pretty lousy, thank you.)[/color]
