For me it’s Neko Case in any of her bands.
Freddie Mercury!
He doesn’t sing too much these days
That is indeed the first name to come to mind.
This one is not likely to be popular here, but I have to be totally honest and say: Miley Cyrus.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not really a fan of her or her music (nor am I a hater). But my god does that woman have an incredible voice and a mastery of how to use it.
I feel this way about lady gaga. Not really a fan of her but her voice is excellent
I saw her live and she really does sing well.
I’m the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I’m not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don’t do her any favours.
For me, has always been Chris Cornell. Absolutely gutted when he died, knowing I’d never hear anything new from him again.
My husband was so depressed when he died.
Yeah. Superunknown was the first CD I bought. I used to listen to it non stop on my shitty discman that the stabilisation was broken on, so I had to walk around like I was serving customers in a restaurant. I then discovered all his other stuff, including Temple of the Dog which was a mind-blown moment for me. Realising all the voices I knew did other side projects/had history in other projects…
Serj Tankien
I am a huge Soad fan, but his solo career also counts. The guy has a one in a billion voice, amazing range!

Classic.
Regina Spektor.
For my money no one can convey as much emotion through their voice as her.
Sara Bareilles
Is incredibly precise. Listening to her voice is like listening to what people are hoping for when they’re autotuning, but she nails it.
+1 for Sara
Tetiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer - a Ukrainian metal band. Her ability to go from her growl to her clean vocals is absolutely wild to me.
Holy cow, that’s absolutely wild! There are a handful of female heavy metal vocalists I follow who do a similar things to this and the contrast between clear singing voices and their growls is just something special. Eg. Kasey Karlsen

I’m always amazed by Robert Plant when I watch old Zeppelin videos
Lzzy Hale has an incredible voice
The lead singer of the German band, AnnenMayKantereit. (The band name is just three surnames smooshed together.)
Here’s my favorite song by them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERRFWuYG48&t=4 which translates to “barefoot at the piano”
Another great song, a bit more up-beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6BmrRLpGJQ&t=3 which translates to “would you go out with me?”
They also do a great cover of ‘Can’t get you of my head’ by Kylie Minogue.
