Patti Labelle is the best. Uglier than a pitbull, but her voice has the best range and tone.

Ms. Hynde, what a story, and sexy voice.
I can't believe me and one other person only said Christina Aguilera.
Half of the hacks mentioned over these 4 pages could barely be described as singers. Although, to be fair I guess the title does request "favorite" and not "talented".... so carry on.

Without a doubt a beautiful voice, and by far my favourite singer.

I should add it's in Norwegian but still beats any western pop songs.

Has anyone even actually ever heard her real voice?
I like her singing too, but it's 90% electronically aided, 10% real...

In that case, do yourself a favor and look up June Tabor. Angel Tiger is an incredible album.

The entire board is at the edge of their seats awaiting your next scathing appraisal, no doubt denouncing those simpletons who fail to recognize the superiority of 'Brown Sugar' among Pop Tart flavors.
Nice call on June Tabor..
For our Canadian friends...Holly Cole
How has no one said Esperanza Spalding?! She's absolutely amazing, so talented.
My favorites: Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Sade, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, and Christina Aguilera.
I do like the "sappy" songs...:)
My favorite at the moment is Lisa Hannigan
