If you could have the singing career of anyone...

from the past to present who would you choose? I don't mean personal life, just career.

Just for fun!

I'd quite like Madonna up until around 2006. So many great songs and performances! I often have a Madonna concert in my car 😆

Drake Milligan

FuckYouEzekiel · 23/04/2023 20:20

Tori Amos is a good call.

Annie Lennox for me. Famous but keeps out of the limelight.

Not Chrissie Hyde after that women that wear mini skirts "invite rape" tripe.

Ella Fitzgerald or Barbra Streisand

QuintanaRoo · 23/04/2023 20:28

Probably Stevie Nicks.

reddingweddy · 23/04/2023 20:29

Karen Carpenter, or maybe Freddie Mercury

Norfolkbumpkin · 23/04/2023 20:30

Natalie Merchant or Harriet Wheeler.

beguilingeyes · 23/04/2023 20:31

Kate Bush all day long. Genius, hugely respected and doesn't have to do the touring/promotional slog. Possibly for the Cloudbusting video alone. Also,. filthy rich.

I'd like the voice and songwriting talent of Judie Tzuke but she's criminally under-appreciated so I'm not sure I'd want her career.

QuintanaRoo · 23/04/2023 20:31

And if we were talking voice rather than career I’d maybe say Miley Cyrus……I really dislike her well known chart songs such as Wrecking Ball……but since she’s gone off radar a bit she’s gone more rocky and God she can sing rock.

She also has a sister Noah who has an amazing voice.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 23/04/2023 20:32

Lorde or Grimes

I thought you meant Jedward for a moment then Grin

AngeloMysterioso · 23/04/2023 20:33

Taylor Swift! The woman is unstoppable.

Worriedmum40284 · 23/04/2023 20:34

Anyone from Abba!

FranKatzenjammer · 23/04/2023 20:48

Another vote for Emma Kirkby!

Tracker1234 · 23/04/2023 20:49

Karen Carpenter

gabsdot45 · 23/04/2023 20:51

Julie Andrews. I adore her

QuintanaRoo · 23/04/2023 20:53

Or maybe Debby Ryan actually who is the least famous singer ever but got to marry the beautiful Josh Dun.

Helendegenerate · 23/04/2023 21:15

Shirley Bassey

Blueuggboots · 23/04/2023 21:28

Kristen Chenoweth.

ClaraBourne · 23/04/2023 21:36

Lana De Rey - her voice is spellbinding.

watchthebloodycat · 23/04/2023 21:52

Stevie Nicks

PrincessMyshkin · 23/04/2023 21:57

Possibly Angelique Kidjo or Miriam Makeba. Such warm, wide ranging and beautiful voices.

notprincehamlet · 23/04/2023 22:29

PJ Harvey

Dithyramb · 23/04/2023 22:35

Sarah Connolly.
