What are your top 3 favorite female singers?

Too many but will add Brandi Carlile 

@richopp

Naturally, you meant to type "WHO" not "what" in your post. People are generally referred to as WHO.

If you mean ladies who can actually SING as opposed to belting out pop garbage:

Not natural at all. Just re-educated, perhaps in America.

@noske OK. Sure.

At the moment:

Neko Case

Sharon Jones

Ella Fitzgerald

But I'd have to add these ladies into the mix:

Norah Jones

Aretha Franklin

Billie Holiday

Dusty Springfield

K.D. Lang

I can’t believe Stevie Nicks made the list for some of you I mean who doesn’t like Miss piggy, but as an actual singer? I guess in the late 70’s before all the cocaine 
I think there should be a revised list for top singers that you’ve seen in person for me that would be Natalie Merchant saw her solo at the Greek theater. She was incredible Sinead O’Connor don’t like her but she can sing 🎶

and recently my son and I saw Sarah McLaughlin in Jacksonville, Oregon, just by herself at the piano.

Beyond that Linda Ronstadt for sure should be on the list as well as Jennifer Warnes. Am I the only one to mention Jennifer Warnes? and one that is obviously absent I’m very disappointed to not see 

Kiri Te Kanawa as well amazing voice ⭐️can I get a Amen?
