FKA Twigs has an amazing voice. From quiet and controlled to very rich. I like her understatement.

Luther Vandross- lucky enough to see him live several times and his voice was flawless.

I've just watched the video of the rehearsal for the RM tribute - gave me goosebumps.

I think Michael Jackson was a dreadful singer. Great at getting a tune out there, granted, but as an actual singer I would have to disagree.

Barbra Streisand
George Michael
Pink (exceptional IMO)
Linda Ronstadt
Dolly Parton
Karen Carpenter (such a pure voice)
Tony Bennet
Marvin Gaye

George Michael was brilliant live . We also saw Bryan Adams on a Bare Bones acoustic tour ( have also seen him in stadiums ) and he can really carry a tune . Lee Forsyth Griffiths has a great voice live , better than his recordings .
