That's a no brainer for me. My favourite artist is a Dutch singer called Floor Jansen. She is amazing. She is the lead vocalist for the metal band Nightwish... which no one in America seems to have ever heard of. But this girl is, she's one of a kind. They call her the Valkyrie of metal. She's over six feet tall.. well over six feet tall in heels, and she is classically trained. She can sing opera with the best of them. When it comes to symphonic metal, she is the GOAT.

For anyone who doesn't know this band.. this is my favourite song.

Epica is okay, but they're a bit too growly for my tastes. Simone is a lot like Floor, she has that same operatic, theatrical voice. But the background music is too grunty and headbangy.

Nightwish, Epica, and Within Temptation are bands that kind of do the same thing, but with their own take.

Athena, did you ever watch/hear "Sancta Terra"? It's Simone and Floor doing a duet. It's kind of amazing. They are very good friends IRL.

No I didn't know they were friends and yes I think I did hear this before. I Still kind of like Tarja Turunen in Nightwish but that was a while ago.

I think my favourite singer is Stevie Nicks, I just love her voice but I listen to a lot of different Groups. Right now I am on a Theory of a Dead Man kick. I Like Ramstein Metalica, I love Led Zeppelin. Ayrya I really only listened to the one song of Ladytron, Genitorturers are nsfw and kind of creepy especially with the song asphyxiate. First to Eleven, Halocene, Violet Oriandi are just a few groups that I like off the top of my head.  Oops forgot Sabaton.

I am with you on that.

Right up there with her is Terri Nunn from Berlin (the band, not the city).
Their first two albums, Love Life and Pleasure Victim are favorites of mine. Her vocal range just amazes me. From soft and sultry to loud and angry. I love it.

Heart is my favorite of all time but I have to mention Shania Twain as I have always connected with her song "Man I Feel Like a Woman" sounds mushy but true.
