WOW, I didn't expect anyone on here to pick Sarah Whatmore! I absolutely love her voice. Actually, I like female singers with warmth in their voices, rather than all that vocal gymnastic stuff! Some of my other faves:
Avril Lavigne
Dido
Andrea Corr
Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes)
Lindsay O'Mahoney (Honey Ryder)
Keisha Buchanan
Nerina Pallot
Gabriella Cilmi
And although I'm not really a fan of her, I do think that Beverley Knight has an amazing voice. :cool:

I didn't know Mick Hucknall was a woman...
Oh and I forgot Ellie Goulding on my list; not sure how as 'Lights' is one of my most played albums at the moment!
I like the way Fantasia sings , I like the fact that her voice isn't an "easy ride" but girlfriend can sing absolutely anything and she goes all out no holding back for her . I also like the fact that she doesn't sound like anyone else out there and she performs like a bad ass bitch !!

That's only what came to me in that instant though, there's many more including those already mentioned and those mentioned since like Fantasia, Joni Mitchell, Ruby Turner, Ann Nesby, Mahalia Jackson etc
