Best female vocals on CD

Check out Dido on the CD titled Life for rent...track after track of simply outstanding recordings. Let track 11 keep playing through about 1:00 of silence to a hidden bonus song that is as good as anything else on the CD. Others in my top 10 include Allison Moorer, Alison Krauss, Eva Cassidy, and Sarah Mclachlan.

Dianne Reeves "Tenderly" from The Grand Encounter,great test cut. She's an audiophile's dream. Passionate, powerful,angelic.

Hope Sandoval
Enya
Norah Jones
Stevie Nicks - Gold Dust Woman. Her voice seems to have mellowed now.
Loreena McKennitt
Eleanor McEvoy
Alison Krauss
Kim Carnes - Crazy in the Night
Sarah McLachlan

I don't think that Patricia O'Callaghan has been nominated to the list yet. She is a trained opera singer who also likes to perform cabaret fare, Leonard Cohen, Kurt Weill and others. Her first album, titled "Real Emotional Girl" has been followed by a second called "Naked Beauty". Her voice is a real treat.

I love anything by Sade
