    Karen Carpenter, no one else even comes close.

    But as usual with these sort of threads it just ends up becoming a list of people favourite artists.

    If we are not going for the most powerful which would limit it to the Opera singers I guess, then I totally agree with this.

    The other one who stands out for me is Mama Cass.

    Edit: For the males I would throw Gary Puckett into the mix.

    Overall: Freddie Mercury
    Live Musical Theatre: John Barrowman (his 'pop' voice is mediocre, his MT albums are good but not fantastic, but live on a West End stage he's superb)
    Frank Sinatra (just the way he delivers the songs)
    Judy Garland
    Karen Carpenter

    Edit: I'm sure there are remarkable opera singers as well, but as I'm not a fan of opera I can't list them :)

    Mama Cass was brilliant. And Gary Puckett had a really underrated voice.

    Well she gets a few extra marks for being a fan of Deanna... ;)

    Personally I preferred Victoria De Los Angeles (not included on my list) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2IexvgEn6s and thought Renata Tebaldi had the more solid technique.

    However I think hers is the definitive version on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGTxz_jIBy0
