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 agree but would add Sarah Vaughn to that list.

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.

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.

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

Does it have to be an "either or"?

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.

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!

Exactly! I'll take Dusty, Annie and also Kate Bush seeing as Kate's been mentioned on this thread. 3 talented ladies in their own way.
