Whitney Houston is (or was) a mezzo-soprano...meaning...she could've been an opera singer had she taken that path from childhood...but she obviously loved a different type of music.

Tarja can sing classic opera and metal. She has an smooth, strong voice with an amazing range. Not a chance in hell todays shrill, screeching pop divas like Whitney, Britney or Mariah could match someone like Tarja's voice. We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Opera and metal...that ain't no soul and blues.
Tarja would simply just sound silly singing a Mariah or Houston song...Tarja has ZERO soul...ZERO blues...she's too mechanical for that type of music...soul and blues are alien concepts to her.
Blue Meanie's singer is a way better SOUL & BLUES singer than Tarja...because Tarja ain't no soul & blues singer.
And why do you bring Britney into this? She sucks!sigpicComment

Sharon Jones basically wipes the floor with anyone in this department right now for me.Comment

Sorry man - I'm such a jerk and I totally understand what you mean, but I couldn't resist.
I actually was trying to think of female vocalists I really like, and I was coming up with names like Neko Case and Cat Powers. Not exactly current. I'm really out of touch.Comment

Adelle is also another singer that is AMAZING.
I think Joss was tapped to be Janis Joplin in a movie on Joplin. Vocally, I think she could do it....but they'd have to really "Ugly" Joss up to physically look like Janis."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

I'd just like to add all music has emotion and soul. Not just R&B. If singers like Lady Gaga and Mariah only have "soul" and Tarja doesn't, it's not something I want or need.
A bit of Tarja.

Yeah - I mentioned Neko Case as well - she's incredible. I just wish I could think of some newer women vocalists who blow me away like that.
For me with music in general, an interesting style or way of doing things goes a LONG way as oppose to skill. Singing range or the ability to hold notes isn't interesting to me as much as a raw voice with personality - for lack of a better term. Otis Redding is probably my favorite vocalist - as an example.Comment

This is the singer that floats my boat at the moment Imelda May Love her voice and she's incredibly sexy!!!
