Pop/Rock chicks that can actually sing

[Simo]

Which pop/rock chick singers do you think can actually hold a note. You dont have to like their music or anything but who do you think can really sing with a good strong voice and who cant (well that could go on for ever so just list a couple who cant!)

I think that can actually sing:
Christina Aguilera
Amy Lee (evanescance)

Cant:
Pink
Britney spears
Avril Lasagna

 

[Generalzod]

Patti Smith from the 80's who definately can hold a note:

I'd put Pink in the can category. Her Joplin covers are dead-on perfect.

 

[Samwise]

Can and make good music:

PJ Harvey
Tori Amos
Regina Spektor
Holly Throsby
Camille
Sophie Koh
Sarah Blasko
Kate Miller Heidke
Jill Scott
Clare Bowditch


Can't and make crap music

Britney
Dannii Minogue
Natalie Bassingthwaite
Avril
Pink
etc

I'd put Pink in the can category. Her Joplin covers are dead-on perfect.

I thought twice about Pink and nearly put her in a maybe category but in the end (from what ive heard) decided she just doesnt seem to have the confidence or maybe the ability to really lead with her voice. I havent heard any joplin covers from her.

oh and ben lee.

hehe...nice one.

 

[millersnose]

all of them mentioned can sing well (well maybe not danii)

the one thats a real surprise is that the black chic in the spice girls is the worst singer out of the 5

 

[Steel Dragon]

Beyonce has a fair set of pipes on her - but dunno if she comes under Pop/Rock chicks.

 

[Munky]

Beyonce is pure pop and always has been.

Her skin colour is the reason her music is declared RnB.

 

[Skeletor]

Cristina Scabbia

 

[Godz Illa]

I havent heard any joplin covers from her.

Ok not exactly the same as Joplin's bourbon and cigarette timbre, but it's as gravelly as I've heard from anyone else.
