I thought it was a sexist comment. A funny one to boot.

One of the best voices ever, female or male, and her arrangements of existing songs are incredible. She only got better with age. I can't imagine my music collection without Nina Simone.

Having seen her live not so long ago I wouldn't go that far. She was great, except when singing in English where that rich emotion she normally brings seemed to disappear....? Strange she didn't seem like that with Dead Can Dance (do I ever wish I'd seen them live.....). Still, Sanvean has yet to be surpassed IMHO.
Incidentally, Alison Goldfrapp is probably underappreciated...?

Singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini composes an exquisite vocalic beauty, similar to the hums of Beth Hirsch and Kirsty Hawkshaw, making Torrini's innocence a delicate cast of luminous imagery. She is of Italian and Icelandic decent, but lives in England, and her cultural seascape is ever more inviting when her soft-spoken compositions are heard. She joined forces with Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal to produce her first album Love in the Time of Science, which was released in fall 2000 on Virgin. Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson heard her cool, otherworldly croon and approved Torrini to voice the finale music for 2002's The Two Towers, and she followed up this cinematic achievement by releasing the soft-spoken but beautiful Fisherman's Woman in early 2005.

certainly not best. it's kinda hard to say "the best" when you haven't heard it all, and i've heard ALOT.
but off the top of my head, two female artists i really dig are:
beth gibbons <3
wata - guitarist for boris <3
not the best by any means... cept for beth gibbons
