I hate her as a person but Maria Carey has a beautiful voice with a HUGE vocal range. Her mother was an opera singer and made sure she had the best classical voice training available starting very young in life, and it shows. Very few women can match her vocal abilities.

For pure energy I don't think anyone has worked harder with Madonna, who I also dislike, who has done as much as she can with as little as she has. She is an example of what pure determination can accomplish.

For pure beauty of a voice though I have to go with Whitney Houston, who also had a huge vocal range. For some reason her vocal cords resonate in a way that just reaches into my soul. A very troubled person with a life that was cut short ... but still had a beautiful voice.

me above but nice quote below:

People like Whitney and Mariah Carey had incredible vocal skill but on the other hand their music is complete tripe

As noted by 416 neither Maria or Whitney were "ground breakers" in helping bring about totally new ways of creating new types of music. The early Madonna has them both beat in that category.

Other female singers were much further out on the creative end of new types of music than any of those three, but so far I can't think of a one who actually had the refined vocal abilities of Maria and Whitney - unfortunately they both just stayed very close to the commercial mainstream. They were performers, NOT creators.
