Favorite female Metal singer?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Let's be honest.
Most female singers make metal sound like pop music.
Except when they make pop songs sound heavier. 
Doro (Ex-Warlock) for me.
Total eclipse of the heart

"Listen to "Spiritbox" and try to tell me female metal singers sound like pop music."
Not all, but most making metal sound poppy.
I'm not saying it's always a bad thing.
Many male singers make metal sound poppy too and still like them.
Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) for example.
I still love a few songs. |

"Lizzy Hale
Yes! Also Amy Lee , Skin"
Skin is an absolute tour de force, I grew up with Skunk Anansie on the radio, and honestly their "hits" do NOT do justice to the sheer power she commands. Absolutely phenomenal live performer. |

I saw them play in Birmingham about ten years ago, the mad bugger WALKED OUT on the heads of the crowd and performed Weak right in the middle of the room standing on the shoulders of the fans. Absolutely mental. |

Yeah, I imagine that would have been quite the show too. You have to have genuine talent to be able to pull off an acoustic set, so I imagine Skunk Anansie would have smashed it. |

"Ha ha
I guess nobody likes Warlock or Doro here."
It's not so much that.
Warlock were one of the many good but not great metal bands for me.
Threw all the right shapes live, but were just dull as dishwater..
No oomph!! Don't hate them, just meh.
Bit like Manowar or Accept..a few good songs here and there. But not quite doing it for me. |

I was using those bands as an example of the sorts of bands I felt warlock compared to when I was explaining my take on them.
I have already given a list of female metal singers.. I could name about another 50 odd.. but I need to get up early for work |

I like Judas Priest and Rob Halford, but it would have been better with just Doro.
I know she has a lot of famous friends, but... |

I love blaring out Skunk Anansie in the car, even got my 9 year old nephew onto it now too. He has his own play list and asked for some songs to be added |

She's still slightly younger than one of my ex.

"I've not read the thread but someone who teeters on metal (sort of) is Skunk Anansie's Skin. Fab performer. One of the reasons I bought Kerrang in the 90s."
You're in good company, we're all in agreement that she's an absolute powerhouse. |

"Donita Sparks
She'd probably throw her jam rag at you for calling her band metal.. "
never happened when I saw L7 30yrs ago ( guess it must have been the wrong time of the month for such activities) and I guess it won’t happen now best you can hope for is a TENA lady |

Beth Hart has an incredible blues rock voice, just check her out with Jeff Beck.
Believe it or not, Miley Cyrus can really rock, check her out on YT belting out some Led Zeppelin.
Finally, I doubt anyone will have heard of Meghan Krauss, she was on the album Maragold, a group formed by the incredible rock fusion guitarist Gregg Howe. She is one of the best female rock voices I have heard. |
