Just for fun - if you could choose to have any singer's voice, who would you choose?

For me - Gloria Estefan or Tina Arena

Twiglett · 11/04/2008 13:20

I'd have mariah's voice, but I wouldn't sing all those annoying, whiny songs

barnstaple · 11/04/2008 13:45

Ah, Kathleen Ferrier, now there was a voice. (My mum x-rayed her when she'd broken her hip. There's my claim to fame!) Yes was wonderful too.
