Saw Nightwish in LA recently and the band with Floor is truly amazing. In my 70 years it had to be one of the best concerts i'd ever seen and heard. This women along with an incredible singing ability has a remarkable stage presence. I'm still buzzing.

I fully agree with #1. Floor can do whatever she wants with her voice: opera, scream, and even growl like a lion 🦁. She has an amazing voice and stage presence. Best vocalist (m/f)on the planet. 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

Doro ... The mother of all modern female metal singers, at no5. So many of these lists ignore her, but she's aged bloody well and still killing it in her 50s . Floor at No1 is a given.. However, not a single nod to Fabienne Erni from Eluviete or Masha from Arkona. If you want mixed scream/ clean vocalists , Masha is every bit the equal to Alyssa or titanja . Fabi is incredible as well as a pure singer.

It's 2022 and I still believe your #1 and #2 choices are intact. Tarja was a #1 choice for many for a long time but Floor is just at another level from all of them She has to be part alien with that otherworldly voice of hers. Hold her out as the best female singer I've heard in my lifetime. Good list.

I completely agree with Floor. Her Majesty is IMHO the best, most complete singer/ vocalist of any genre and any gender. When you can make even other vocal coaches lose their shit when reviewing/ reacting to your songs, you know you are The One.

Tarja has such an incredible voice but Floor is really on top of that not only with her unbelievable voice but also with a stage presence not seen often as a combination on this planet. I don‘t know many of the other singers except Doro. oime interesting voices but far away from the two Nightwish power ladies. Well done! Floor was part of the recent „Sing my song“ show in Germany (also known as the „Exchange concert“ internationally IIRC) and she was doing so well with any song she delivered. As part of that group and in real life she seems to be such a shy, cautious and reliable person. This makes it even more impressive to see what a giant she is on stage.

Yes floor Jensen has got it everyone who's ever played with nightwish was very good but floor just has something different that she brings to the table they all do but dang her vocals just reach to the sky.

My only addition? Helle Bogdanova of Ignea. Not only can this woman growl, but she's self-taught in that regard. And, her cleans are up there as well. The last thing? Ignea has a very unique sound -- sounding as if they should be from Persia, instead of Kyev, Ukraine.

@@the_cursed_fire5635 : You are welcome! I actually discovered them because of symphonic metal. I came back because there is nothing sexier than hearing lyrics in another language (Chorna Polnya, from their last album).

This just makes me think that Opera/Classical and Heavy Metal are about one in the same simply because of how they overlap and compliment each other. Some of these singers are evident of that having clean clear Opera quality voices and perfectly complimenting the distorted gain of Metal. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they were classically trained.

most of the singers get a classical education, for example Tarja had studied Classic and Opera at the university

Dude, check out Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage, then. 🤟 Edit: I recommend that you start with the song "The End Of Heartache". (Sorry that I responded to your comment after a year; I just found it. 😅)

Just as a person who's been listening to metal since 2001: a lot of the most versatile singers go into metal because it's more complex and they can flex more of their vocal chops singing metal songs.

The best thing is...20 years ago there was a very small number to choose from. Just by reading the comments, this could have been a TOP 100 list, and still more who should have made the list. The women of heavy metal have kept the genre alive and well.

Floor is an event of power and beauty of nature.

I love floor and no doubt she's on nr.1 !!!!

lol just by the intro-absolute by the 2nd part, I knew who was last...be def not least!!! Also a bit surprised to see a retro band included

Skin from Skunk Anansie should definitely be on this list !! Even though they're considered a Ska Band some of their songs are more metal than some of these other bands.

As much as i like SA and Skin, she doesn't belong on this list. Women like Courtney Love (absolutely hate her) are much more fierce and powerful vocally. Listen to Hole's song Violet. Then there's songs like "Barracuda" by Heart. Or "Send me a Postcard" by Shocking Blue (1968). True early metal that last one!

Totaly agree.

"in this moment" is a great heavy metal band with female lead vocalist/singer!

As i said in my post , names that someone missed : Liv Kristine( ex- leaves eyes ) , Asami ( lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten(ex- nightmare), Charlotte Wessels ( delain) , Maria Brink ( in this moment), amy lee (evanescence) .anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the gathering), lzzy hale ( hallestorm).

I thought of 3, and only OTEP was even listed, but as a honorable mention. I would have included Karyn Crisis and Morgan Lander.

That is quite accurate, actually o/

I would have liked to have seen Maria Brink, Jennifer Haben, Charlotte Wessels and Melissa Bonny in the list. Elize Ryd should have been higher in the ranking.

In the description box they said "Also we wanted to include Maria Brink (In The Moment) on our list but almost all their materials were copyrighted." so if it wasn't for that, Maria would have probably been in this.

I was looking for Charlotte Wessels myself. At least an honorable mention though she’s in my top 10. I’m not a fan of cookie monster stuff, so…
