George asks…

Does anyone have suggestions on rock bands with female vocalists?

I’m trying to find bands that have female vocalists like Evanescense and Within Temptation. Any suggestions? I don’t care if it’s light or heavy so long as it’s rock. Thanks.

Priscilla62Y answers:

There are some really wonderful bands in the gothic rock/symphonic metal sub-genre. :) Here are some with different styles.

- We Are the Fallen: has 3 of the original EV members
- Dark Sanctuary: for beautiful (but gloomy) piano-driven gothic music; French lyrics
- Epica: a very fine mezzo-soprano voice, with some male growling
- Delain: a warm, mid-range voice; thick orchestration
- Triosphere: a huge, slightly raspy voice; aggressive double-axe guitar work
- HolyHell: what Sarah Brightman would sound like if she was in a metal band

If you like female-fronted bands, you should check out Femme Metal webzine, which has lots of reviews of new releases. Http://www.femmemetal.net/reviews.htm

Robert asks…

What other female vocalists who can do death metal growl aside from arch enemy?

I want to hear some death metal bands with a female vocalist who can do death metal growl aside from arch enemy.Any others?

Priscilla62Y answers:

This is totally obscure – but the band Pisspoor from Austin, TX had a female singer named Cathie Fuentes. I saw them at ABC No Rio in NYC in the mid-90s having never heard them. She was very sweet looking…..polite……but once they started playing this ungodly terror demon of a voice came out of her. They were pulverizing. More power-violence/thrashcore/grind-punk than metal…..but you may want to check them out if you can find anything from them. They had a split 12″ with Ungrateful and a split 7″ with Yokel…..the 12″ was on Sound Pollution.

Steven asks…

Who are some female vocalists who peaked early in their careers?

For example, critics agree that Mariah Carey’s two best albums were her first two – “Mariah Carey” from 1990, and “Emotions,” from 1991. After that, the quality of her albums and songs went way downhill.

Who are some other female vocalists who peaked early (in terms of musical quality)?

Priscilla62Y answers:

Nellie Furtato, Sarah McLaughlin, Alannis Morisette, Sinead O`Connor, Gwen Stefannie, Alanna Myles, Bjork … The list goes all the way back even to Billie Holiday, Judy Garland & a host of other greats. Some sold out to the pop culture, others caved to mental illness ie. Drugs or death.

I was never a Mariah Carey fan but she does have a voice that could have done amazing things. So easy for someone like me to say who never had a vocal instrument to begin with.

Some artists sign with the wrong managers. That`s the bottom line. They can have the greatest voice & all the best intentions but … The manager unfortunately makes the calls. They have the final say in recording labels, contracts & content. The true savvy artist makes no legal, or binding contract with a manager that doesn`t have the artists` best interests at heart. In the world of business, a real manager / agent ensures the client is able to continue evolving as an artist. It provides them & the artist with a steady viable source of income. If it means moving the client to another company & being able to continue exploring the vocalist`s repetoire, then that`s what the true dedicated manager does. Unfortunately there are far too many inscrutable `managers`out there. They want the big bucks fast. They don`t think about the artist at all. They just want to capitalize on whatever commodity they`re handling.

Helen asks…

Do you like male vocalists or female vocalists better?

I like female vocalists better because, just like in everything else except moving furniture and shooting people, women are better than men.

Priscilla62Y answers:

Female.

Susan asks…

who is that red haired female vocalist who sounds similar to adele?

I’m wondering if anyone knows the name of a red haired female vocalist who sounds similar to Adele in quality of voice and style. I’m pretty sure the name she uses (or the name of her band) is three words, and the first word is Love. One of the album covers for this mysterious singer is just of her with her long red hair in a low ponytail hanging to one side of chest, against a white back drop. Any ideas?

Priscilla62Y answers:

Tori Amos??
