You never think guys would have so many favorite female singers, yet here we are.

In my opinion there is almost nothing sexier than musical talent. But it's not just about that. I often prefer the female voice to the male voice. Don't ask me why. But good singing is good singing and bad singing is bad singing regardless of gender.

 

[The Spawn]

The only reason I bumped this thread was to see if ANYONE would ever catch Slim Shady in my list...

Now, I can rest in peace...thank you Red.

 

[Babs Gordon]

honestly i prefer male vocalists.
