Dusty Springfield or Annie Lennox
Who is your favourite? Both are often labelled the greatest female british singer, so who do you prefer?
Or do you like Kate Bush? |

I like all of the above; Dusty, Annie, Ella and Kate but my favourite would have to be the late great Karen Carpenter! Songs like Superstar and Close to You are classics!

I like all those three... but Kate over Annie, and Annie over Dusty.
None of those is my favourite singer though... that place belongs to the late great Kirsty MacColl. |

Dusty's the better singer and Annie's the better songwriter.

As a singer, Dusty is in a completely different league to the other two. She may not be right up there with Aretha Franklin, but she's not that far behind.
As a songwriter, Kate is about as good, and unique, as it gets. Her last album was her masterpiece: breathtaking in its scope and ambition - so many colours, levels and variations. |

We had this thread a while back, and I too said Karen. As well as the songs you mention, I said this is my favourite Carpenters song, in fact one of my favourite songs of all time.

For me I prefer Dusty's voice over Annie (I got a bit bored with all the woo hoos and vocal ad libs) and both of them to Kate. That said, I probably listen to Kate more than Dusty.

I think all 3 are great!
However I'd have to say Kate first; Dusty second and Annie third. |

You don't have to choose.
My favourite has to be Dusty though. She is just phenomenal! |
