oooooooh yes Karen Carpenters voice is very beautiful, forgot to say her also kd lang, Sharleen Spiteri and I'm surprised to see Juliette Lewis mentioned, yes her 'Terra Incognita' album was my favourite album of 2009! Really wicked voice!

I really like this new girl Clare Maguire, I made a thread about her but it didn't get much attention.

Check out her debut, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p0FdHZ54fg

I always liked Harriet Wheeler from The Sundays voice.

Kylie - just listen to her sing Flower - beautiful

Annie Lennox and Debbie Harry are my favourites for sure.

I've just looked back over this thread, and I've already mentioned Hayley Williams (Paramore), so I'll add Taylor Momsen from the Pretty Reckless too. I was surprised at how much I liked her voice.

I'm a big big big fan of Diana Vickers, I think her voice is so lovely and unique. Scarlett Johansson also has a surprisingly good voice too, sounds great on her duet album with Pete Yorn. Gabriella Cilmi is probably up there in my all time favourites too.

I'll add Zooey Deschanel too. I love her voice.
