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.

I'm in a choir and would love to sound like Karen Carpenter, we don't have enough men to sing th know parts so a good deep, rich, female voice like that would be amazing.

Delores O'Reirdon her voice has made me cry many times it's so beautiful!

mcmuffin22 · 20/10/2025 22:06

Laura Marling.

ballstomonty · 20/10/2025 22:09

Alison Moyet, Sinead O'Coner or Annie Lennox. Unfortuantley I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket so I sing alone in the car 😂

VeryQuaintIrene · 20/10/2025 22:27

Dusty Springfield or Ella Fitzgerald or Emma Kirkby.

Worralorra · 20/10/2025 22:28

Judith would definitely be my pick.

'The Carnival is Over' probably shows off her voice better, or 'I am Australian', but I specially like the one I linked to :)

I've seen an interview with her bandmates where they said (a little bit irritated with her!) that she never sang a wrong note, and picked them up on all of theirs even if only a fraction out 😉

Edited

Judith was amazing!❤️

Also, Joni Mitchell.

brunettemic · 20/10/2025 23:01

Pretty much anyone who can sing in tune would do me.

JennyForeigner · 20/10/2025 23:03

Chrissie Hynde

Sgtmajormummy · 20/10/2025 23:03

Patsy Cline.
”and I’m crazy for loving…. youuuuuuuuuu.”

Imonaplane · 20/10/2025 23:07

Agnetha Faltskog has a beautiful voice, I wish I could sing like her. Sadly I can't sing a note in tune.

BustPipes · 20/10/2025 23:07

Billie Holiday or Dawn Upshaw.

Joni Mitchell if I have to settle.

DorisTheFinkasaurus · 20/10/2025 23:08

Chaka Khan, hands down. Angie Stone as well.

PayrollSSP · 20/10/2025 23:11

Judy Garland 🥰

Icebreakhell · 20/10/2025 23:17

KD Lang has a lovely tone. So perhaps her, or a belter like Aretha.

Missj25 · 20/10/2025 23:17

Whitney , but wouldn’t suit me , so Sia hands down

TickyBooo · 20/10/2025 23:17

Alanis morrisette or Amy Lee

Inaflummox · 20/10/2025 23:17

Heather Small

Inlimboin50s · 20/10/2025 23:21

I think Tony Hadley has a beautiful voice
Belinda Carlisle

Vaguelyclassical · 20/10/2025 23:22

Maddy Prior
