Need suggestions: High pitched female singers

Sara Brightman

Gale Moran

Anna Netrebko

Andra Day

Minnie Riperton

Not female, but high pitched...

DeKay

Technically, pitch refers to one note, a single sound within the whole range; a high pitch would refer to a note in one of the upper registers.  Being pitchy, of course, is not a good thing, being a little sharp or flat of the particular note that a singer is trying to produce.  I believe what you are asking about are, more exactly, female singers with a vocal range that extends higher than normal.

This may not be your cup of tea, but she certainly gets up there.

London Grammar lead singer

Joan Baez 

Judy Collins

Lene Lovich, Victoria Williams, Tiny Tim ;-) .

Kristeen Young - she's made 11 great albums over 25 years and nobody's heard of her, but she's the deal as far as writing, singing, arranging, and producing....New album coming out this Friday! 

Yoko "Oh No!"

You asked for "high-pitched", but she actually has no pitch.

Mariah Carey

Joni Mitchell

Celine Dion

Chante Moore

Barry Gibbs

La Castafiore

Cristina Deutekom singing in Mozart's 'Magic Flute'. Sings Queen of the Night with much enthusiasm - coloratura soprano at its best. Solti conducting.

Joan Sutherland singing the songbird in Wagner's Ring, also by Solti.

As mentioned Joni Mitchell and pretty much perfect pitch when "measured".

DeKay

Britney Spears & Ariana Grande

Yep, Minnie Riperton, first to come to mind, four octive range. I like her work with Rotary Connection, very unique sound. As an aside, her mother was the inspiration for  Cab Calloway's, "Minnie The Moocher".

Regina Spektor

Eva Cassidy

Charlotte Martin

The Staves

@tony1954 LOL!

   Barry Gibbs

Kathleen Battle, e.g.,listen to 

"Let the Bright Seraphim" 

in trumpet duet with Wynton Marsalis.

Bjork

Celine Dion

Mariah Carey

Kate Miller-Heidke

+1 Bjork

Cecilia Bartoli.

+ 1 for Eva Cassidy

Anais Mitchell.

Cindy Lauper

?Do one on low pitched female singers?

• Avril Lavigne.
• Dua Lipa.
• Cher.
• Adele.
• Annie Lennox.
• Florence Welch.
• Selena Gomez.
• Nina Simone.

Watch the 'Bass Queen' sing the lowest note by a woman | Guinness World Records

That's 72.5Hz.

My top vocal jazz artists :

Chantal Chamberland

Chie Ayado

Emi Fujita

Joni Mitchell

Geddy Lee ... couldn't resist

Sabine Devieilhe.

Kate Wolf would be high on my list.  Any of her albums but “Back Roads” and “Close to You” are my most played  

Give Kina Grannis a listen as well.  The “Stairwells” album.

Wilson sisters, Heart.

Morgan James

Prince when singing in falsetto

Very helpful, thanks everyone.

I'll add some my daughter had when she was young

Mae Questel...the voice of Betty Boop, Olive Oyl, Little Audrey, Wendy the good witch

T.A.T.U

Believe it or not Ariel Winter from Modern Family (cartoon voice overs)

Jesca Hoop, Sixpence, Hillary Duff, Jewel, Rachel Farris, Janet Jackson, The Bangles,

Linda Ronstadt has one of the best overall female voices ever. She can do EVERY kind of music, from rock and traditional American to Broadway to her heritage Mexican.

Find a better and more versatile voice if you can.

Oh, and unlike many "singers" listed here, she can ACTUALLY SING, which, apparently, has nothing to do with either getting a recording contract or being "popular."

Maria Muldaur sold a LOT of Audio Research/Magneplaner speakers for me in the 1970’s with Midnight at the Oasis.

Whitney Houston

Don't forget Yma Sumac, whose top register exceeds even Minnie Riperton. Sounds extrahuman -- Peruvian rain forest sounds.

Kathleen Edwards

Allison Krauss may not exactly be considered high pitch but she has great range and her delivery sounds effortless

+1 Minnie Riperton

Rachelle Ferrell

Katie Melua on Piece by Piece

Phoebe Snow

+1 for Minnie Riperton
