Female vocals


What is it about female vocals that so many audiophiles adore? Many, many speaker reviews talk about female vocals at some point as if that was the zenith of recorded music. It's the same at audio shows. Just about every room is playing some version of the same, bland music. Just once I'd like to be drawn to a room because they were playing Tool or Opeth, but nooooo, it's jazz or Norah Jones.

Well recorded vocals are a great way to evaluate the clarity and natural characteristics of your system.  Some of them are also awesome performances.  I love a lot of female vocals, but will listen to plenty of male vocals too.  

Lately I've been jamming to a lot of Alison Krauss, Emmy Lou Harris, Sarah Vaughn, Mark Knopfler, Tracy Chapman, a little Enya, Willie, and even some Harry Connick Jr.
