If you could wake up tomorrow with a specific singer’s voice, whose would you choose and why?

Inspired by another thread, mine would be Karen Carpenter.

Joan Sutherland, Lucy Crowe, Lisette Oropesa or Debbie Harry.

I came on to say Karen Carpenter, but as she is already taken, I think l'd go for Mama Cass.

Anyone who can even hold half a note.

I'm tone deaf but have always wanted to sign.

Doris Day, I'd love to be a Christmas crooner.

CoffeeCantata · 20/10/2025 19:35

Some great suggestions here but the most stunning voice I’ve heard recently was the actress who played Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown. Sorry I can’t name her…will google.

Oh I'd settle for Adele, Karen Carpenter, Carly. Simon or one of the ABBA ladies.

Annie Lennox. We share an accent, and her voice is so pure.

Columbidae · 20/10/2025 19:34

Eva Cassidy. Clear as a bell.

Hottchoc · 20/10/2025 19:34

Demi lovato and Lea Michelle come to mind

Nopenott0day · 20/10/2025 19:34

Oli Sykes or Lizzie hale

Karen Carpenter’s voice was so pure.

Mine would be Annie Lennox, suits my personality.

Ariana Grande, her voice is pretty special

Eivør. She’s an amazing Faroese singer.

minimuffin · 20/10/2025 19:20

Annie Lennox - so powerful

HappiestSleeping · 20/10/2025 19:18

Whilst there are many amazing singers, I am quite happy with my own singing voice, even though it cannot be counted amongst anything with 'amazing' in the same sentence.

I wondered about the power ballad women but I just love how easy and effortless it sounds to Karen Carpenter.

If I had to choose a male voice, I think I’d plump for Marvin Gaye.
