And it works so well with the mood of the music and the suffocating lyrics, she often sounds sooooo jaded.

Jill Scott bores me. I wish she'd lighten up and not take herself so terribly seriously. She ain't in a million years making an important record like the next 'What's Going On' or something so leave the pseudo-deep sixth-form poetry alone and just try to make a catchy number or two.

1. Kate Bush
2. Happy Rhodes
3. Elizabeth Fraser
4. Anneli Drecker
5. Noe Venable

Honourable mentions to Alison Shaw, Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell (of course).

I seem to like female singers far more than male ones. Weird. Unfortunately some of my friends would class Prince as a female singer. mad
