As a counter thread to the one on irritating vocals, which singers vocals do you love - even if their music isn't up your street. Past or present.

Some of mine:

Eva Cassidy
Johnny Cash
Fantasia (American Idol)
Karen Carpenter
Jim Reeves
Bear Rineheart - lead singer from American rock band Needtobreathe

I was about to say Hayley Williams too, she can do no wrong! And she puts so much energy into performances too (as do the rest of Paramore)

Great minds think alike
