Agree with all of these. Particularly Pink and Cher. I personally think Pink is one of the best arists of the 00s. I'd rather listen to her then the 'vocalists' like Mariah, Christina etc.
As for Cher, her dancier stuff doesn't show her voice, but her late 80s/early 90s stuff show her at her best. I Found Someone, Love & Understanding etc. I loved some of the stuff on her latest album too. Same as Pink - not a so called 'vocalist', but one hell of a singer!
I have to say P!nk is the best performer out there
I think the Kaiser Chiefs are very under rated as were The Kooks and The Hoosiers,
I'd add Leona Lewis and Marina and the Diamonds.
Sarah Mclachlan outside of NA relatively unnoticed.
I love Paloma Faith, Dolly did a terrific set at Glastonbury.
Love Cher! im really into her Black Rose album at the moment, a rare gem it is too!!!
Her miming was impeccable.
Saw her in CATS on Wednesday and wow has she got some pipes on her. She can do quite raspy/raw vocals along with light/softer in very quick key changes. She was amazing
Roisin Murphy
Bat For Lashes
Marina and the Diamonds
Kelly Clarkson
He's not the best singer technically, but I think he has the best tone.
Nicola Roberts (to often overlooked in GA)
Caro Emerald (she should be better known)
Agree with that.
Agree with this. She's an incredible vocalist, but seems to have tarred herself with this kind of "pop princess" image.
Erykah Badu
Angie Stone
Also agree with Kelly Clarkson.
Nadine Coyle, wish she got some success unlike Cheryl Cole.
After seeing her this week in Cats, and seeing her previous work to do with musical theatre (like her performance of Phantom of the opera and Evita, all on youtube), I definitely think in the next 10 years or so that could be her future, and I think it will be in the UK too. I won't be all dramatic and gushy and say that the UK adore her but she seems well liked here and the theatre went crazy for her, she is a genuine talent, she can sing and act as well as being a stunner!
All that aside though, she does genuinely seem a lovely girl which is what I think people like, she is strangely quite relate-able and appears very humble. When the audience were clapping for the characters at the end, it seemed like it was them who were taking her under their wing, there was no "superstar" persona or no out-shining at all. She was actually waved to a group of kids in the front row which pleased the hell out of them.
What her fellow PCDs think of her personally though is probably another story
She's performing on The Graham Norton Show right now. It's a ballad, and she sounds brilliant.
