Eva Dahlgren
Marie Fredriksson
Melissa Etheridge/Eskobar

Marie Fredriksson
Sarah Brightman
Celine Dion
Madonna
Shania Twain

I don’t have favourite singers, I have favourite songs :D

But ok, if I have to choose voices particulary nice for me:

- Neil Finn (Crowded House/Split Enz)
- Carles Sabater (SAU)
- Andrea Corr (The Corrs)
- Mikel Erentxun (Duncan Dhu)
- Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne)
- Jocke Berg (Kent)
- Noel Gallagher (Oasis)
- Per Gessle (Roxette)

I forgot Jon Francis Bongiovi (Bon Jovi) :p

Marie (of course!)
Annie Lennox (she’s amazing, with or without Dave Stewart)
Joni Mitchell (have you heard “Both Sides Now”? It’s so beautiful. A national treasure)
Eva Dahlgren (a Swedish friend of mine introduced me to her 11 years ago... at first I thought she sounded a lot like Marie Fredriksson, but now I don’t think so. She’s awesome)
Frida and Agnetha from ABBA (Dancing Queen is still perfection, even 27 years later)
Freddie Mercury from Queen (such power and emotion)
Edith Piaf (an oldie but goodie)
Nick Cave (if the Grim Reaper had a voice, Nick Cave’s would be it)
Steven Page from Barenaked Ladies (this man has an amazing voice, especially on their ballads)
Mary Chapin Carpenter (I don’t normally listen to country but she’s got such a sad voice)

whos the grim reaper?

sorry, the Grim Reaper is another name for “Death”. :-)

oh ok...in that case i have to agree with u then :)

Neil Finn! Of course! How can I forget him? He’s a wonderful songwriter and the way he sings is just heartbreaking (“I don’t pretend to know what you want, but I offer love...”)

(tsk tsk... and they say I have no taste in music! LOL)

That’s my fav line by Neil also... amazing ;)

@Anarem: indeed, Eva doesn’t sound like Marie at all :)
She is my fave artist just because her music is the only one able to reach me very deep, her voice, her music, and her lyrics, make me feel in a way I never felt with any body else, musically talking :P.
she sings in a way that makes you thank the unknown forces for letting you beeing born and live to experience just those moments in life when you feel that the rainbow and it´s both ends, is YOU

She is incredible in person too :)

1) Roxette
2) Sarah Brightman
3) Robbie Williams

@Judith:

Hey, I was only 15 at the time, what did I know about music? :-) Your description of her music and how she makes you feel is very poetic. I don’t know if I feel the same way exactly, but when I first heard “Ängeln i rummet”, I felt like weeping because it was so beautiful, and so different from anything else out there.

BTW, you have an excellent Eva and Efva site. Keep up the excellent work!

4. Lars Winnerbäck
5. Marie Fredriksson

@carmie: NKOTB?! After sooo many years? *wow* What are the guys up to, then?

hej the other day I found the site of this guy.. Joey whatever :) http://www.joeymcintyre.com/ Btw, dont miss the music section...and listen to the live bits.. uix!

And one of the Bros guys is also in the music business still... :O

bros? wow!
i think jordan and joe had their solo albums a couple years ago but noone noticed :(

Joe McIntyre is now an actor, playing a teacher on Boston Public. I haven’t watched the show myself lately but I heard he was pretty good.

Geez, in my old high school, there were the kids who liked NKOTB, and then there were the ones who liked heavy metal. The latter would pick on the former. It was a strange world, seeing as how I was the freaky girl who liked Roxette and didn’t care for either camp. :-)

lol I also remember that time, people liking either NKOTB or heavy metal or grunge, metallica, nirvana... and me liking Roxette :DD

Well I gotta say I have a rather wide taste in music so I could also listen to some nkotb and /or metallica/nirvana... and sing along :P

I like Metallica and nirvana still so ... ay..those years.

joey mcintyre is also cute as can be on the show now he broke off an affair he was having with a students mother and she’s an older woman ;)

damn, i wish I could watch this serie, i love such school-based soaps... dawson’s Creek, Felicity, BH etc ;) A bit childish, but anyway :)

At time of my youth ( buhu soo long ago :( :( ) we actually had two parties - NKOTB supporters and Roxette supporters... Guess whereI was ;) But I liked some kiddies songs and Jordan was pretty nice at that time for me ;)

I don’t know if I would sing along with NKOTB songs. Maybe “Step By Step”, and that’s it. :-)

ooh, I’m having another bad junior high flashback...

At my school, it wasn’t the heavy metal/grunge crowd who teased me, it was the cheerleaders and the most popular girls in the class that liked NKOTB that thought *I* was the one who had bad taste in music, saying that Roxette were old, Marie was a lesbian (I wish!) and that Per Gessle looked like a monkey. The superficial, snarky comments stung, and hurt my fragile young teen ego, of course, but I ignored them.

And when Roxette came to my town during the Joyride tour, I saw more than a few of those NKOTB girls screaming their heads off at the concert. Ha!

hmmm... where are all those millions of NKOTB dolls and other stuff nowadays? ;)

Probably collecting dust in millions of attics or as landfill in California :-)

It’s too bad they never came out with Roxette dolls, at least people would still buy them...

Gessle of course!

I can not sort them. But... ok

I guess “singer” as is stated in the question means 1 person...

I still don’t know how I could forgot the great FREDDIE MERCURY!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best singers ever!

Sorry, but I don’t have just one fave singer, and I actually prefer bands to solo acts.

@ Santi:

Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers ever– such stage presence, such vocal range, such power! Have you ever heard his “Barcelona” with Montserrat Caballé? Best duet ever! :-) He is sadly missed.

@santi:the question is “your favourite singerS!”

@Anarem: Yeah... + than 10 years without Freddie :’( I miss Queen... Queen rocked!!!!

@Vax: You didn’t get what I mean :D I don’t mean that just 1 singer, but that a singer is a person, not a band. I mean, for example, if your favourite band is Gyllene Tider and you think their singer is the best, your favourite singer would be Per Gessle... not GT. GT is a band, not a singer :p
And you can of course have more than one favourite, but bands have singers, and singers have bands, but both are not the same thing :O I can think Crowded House are great and it can be for many different reasons, one of them that I think Neil Finn’s voice is amazing. So my 1 of my favourite singers would be Neil Finn, but not Crowded House since that’s a band, not a singer. :D
Ok, I think I stated it clear enough now :p

I don’t have any favorite singers or groups I think, but I can list some songs, not in order...

* R.Kelly- Gotham City
* Gigi d’Agostino - L’amour toujours
* Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
* Craig David - what’s your flava?

* (don’t know the name but the text is “Ooooh, I, I don’t need no one else but you in my life, even if I try I can’t work it out...”)
* Smah Mouth - All star
* Bryan Adams - heaven
* Jennifer Lopez feat. LL Cool J - all I have
* Eminem- superman
* Kent - 747
* Petter & Kaah - du vet att jag gråter
* Madonna - take a bow
* DJ Alligator - always fly
* Kate Ryan - désenchantée
* Shakira - ojos así
