by far my favorite female vocalist.
Wow, I haven't heard that name in years. I remember back in the mid '90's when Mandylion came out listening to it a lot. The only song I really remember though is Strange Machines, where she was singing about time machines or something, lol. Man, I'm going to have to find a copy of that album and pick it up again, I haven't heard it in probably over a decade.

Hopefully you have itunes. Jessicka, from Scarling and Jack Off Jill.
She has been nominated by a TON of local festivals and whatnot for best/most important vocalist.

Their song City Noise is a favourite of mine. Give it at least 15 seconds before you fall in love ^_^ Its incredibly amazing

I always thought Sinead O'Connor had a pretty powerful voice. This song gets pretty intense toward the end.

OH god, I can't get enough of this female vocalist. Julie Christmas, so passionate, so emotional, so frightening! Amazing and different. Everyone should listen to this band for a new perspective on vocalists.

The chick from Andain (Mavie Marcos) has an incredible voice.

And call me what you will, but Avril, Ms. Spears, Dido, and Enya are all top-shelf in my books. Beyonce too
