Female voices as powerful as Tori Amos?

Question

I'm a big Tori Amos fan. But it's hard to find female voices as good as her. I don't like a lot of the indie girl singers out there; They seem to be lacking that "wow" factor.

Some of my favorite modern singers are:

-Cat Power

-Inara George

-Sia

-Hanne Hukkelberg

(btw, I don't like Regina Spektor or Feist)

Any ideas??

Answer 1

I am a huge Tori fan myself, and while it's almost impossible to find anyone with the same je-ne-sais-quoi that Tori has, there are some artists who come close.

A lot of Toriphiles really love PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan, for starters.

Here are some other talented female singers that I highly recommend:

Siobhán Donaghy

Kate Havnevik

Natalie Imbruglia

Lisa Loeb

Martha Wainwright

Róisín Murphy

Nerina Pallot

Milla Jovovich

Liz Phair

Melody Gardot

Leona Naess

Missy Higgins

Thea Gilmore

Tristan Prettyman

Melanie C. (Her voice is great, and her solo albums are excellent)
