I despise Natalie Merchant but I am fairly certain she could kick all three of their asses at the same time with one arm tied behind her back. I saw her with 10,000 Maniacs when she yelled at the audience for twenty minutes for being litterbugs. I was fifteen people back from the stage and I was afraid for my safety. 

Sara Bareilles
Amy Winehouse
Amy Lee

Patricia Barber

Sara K

Hanne Boel

Lately anyway!
