Is Celine Dion the greatest female vocalist in the history of recorded music?

No. She didn't.

Play back.

Totally agree! Dion is a boring, over-rated Disney cruise boat singer and yes, Doris Day was absolutely great, read somewhere that, although she had this squeaky clean imagine she was actually quiet a freak :) But yeah, she was an amazing singer, got a bunch of records from her too....

Speaking of cruise boat singers :)

"vivacious" Irish piano-bar singer Pamela Brody, also known as the hat-lady. She was playing in the Rose and Crown pub at Disney's Epcot in Orlando, Florida for more than 20 years, played in the Castle Harbour Hotel in their Isle O' Devils Pub in Bermuda where this album was recorded, on cruise-ships, in all kind of bars back home in Ireland and the States and ended up in the Grand Palm Hotel in Orlando where, as far as I know, she still resides and plays from time to time at 91 years of age....



I even rate her above Dion :)

Aw... Fuck me, wrong video, can't edit posts right?

You're joking right?

I feel like dancing...& then a little more wine.

But seriously... I see incredible female singers all the time here in West-Java, often going to wayang (puppet) shows, amazing music, amazing singers (called sinden here), the singer dressed in blue is a friend of mine, Masyuning.... They usually start at around 8 or 9 at night and go, without pause, till around 4 in the AM.....



And then you've got the jaipong shows, where things can get really wild, specially far away in the villages:



And if you want it wilder than that, there's pergosi odong odong music:



But hey, I can understand if all this stuff is too weird for most of you here :)

Gotta post this, one of my favorite singers from the city of Cirebon, Itih S. , tayuban music, a kind of trance music, far out man....

Fuk kno. Hope that answered your question.

She's a pain in the ass, and certainly great at that.

Ellen Foley sang on the album...but this is Carla Devito in the vid...

Love Alison Krauss. I also admired the pipes that Karen Carpenter had on her, too.

This.

Celine Dion is awful.
Linda Ronstadt is the greatest.

Celine is a tranny. Pretty obvious.

Hope Sandoval

Laura Branigan often gets overlooked, but she did her version as well before Celine.



As for best vocal? Celine ain't got nothing on Karen Carpenter

you know your singers for sure.. Patsy.. what can I say?

Eartha yes she had the voice of the earth.

I still think that Nina can be shown to have sung professionally in more different styles than any other lady mentioned in this thread...

and yes she is crazy.. not my kind of crazy either.

No this lady is.

How did I forget to mention Eva Cassidy? Died way too young.

I've never heard of her - beautiful voice! I see she died of melanoma at 33!

one of the best female singers, and the Very Best Male singer!!
