Hello from Finland...Floor 1. as an operatically trained soprano with a range of almost four octaves who's a master at belting and death growls, Jansen is already known for being an extremely versatile singer in the metal scene.
This is my list of my current favorite female metal vocalists. Caveat #1: I consider Halestorm to be hard rock so Lzzy Hale is not listed 10. Charlotte Wessels - Loved her when she was with Delain and I enjoyed her recent solo album 9. Giada Etro - I saw Frozen Crown at their US debut in Atlanta and became an instant fan 8. Simone Simons - I have been an Epics fan for almost 10 years (Consign to Oblivion) 7. Elena "Lena Scissorhands" Cataraga - I have also been a fan of Infected Rain for about 10 years and I think Elena might be the most underrated on my list 6. Floor Jansen - If this was my list of best female metal vocalists, Floor would be #2 5. Mayu - Although Nemophila has lost some momentum recently, Mayu is still the best female metal vocalist in Japan. I have seen Nemophila live and she is the real deal. 4. Adrienne Cowan - I have been a fan of Seven Spires since listening to Emerald Sea four years ago. I consider Seven Spires to be the current best symphonic metal band in the world with a vocalist that is world class with both clean and harsh vocals. 3. Alissa White-Gluz - I have been listening to Arch Enemy since the Angela Gossow days and there is a reason Angela handpicked Alissa as her successor - Alissa is simply that damn good 2. Fernanda Lira - I have been a Fernanda fan since her time with Nervosa. I saw Crypta live earlier this year and Fernanda was everything that I expected her to be - unmatched ferocity while singing and downright charming between songs. Fernanda is the second best female harsh vocalist in the world, only behind - 1. Tatiana Shmayluk - I have seen Jinjer live twice, last summer and earlier this month. Nobody has the vocal versatility that Tatiana possesses. She is a top 5 clean vocalist in metal and she is the absolute best female harsh vocalist in metal. With all due respect to Doro Pesch (and Floor Jansen), Tatiana is the current Queen of Metal.
Sabina Classen (everybody ignores her in their lists :D ) . I think the most charismatic modern female lead vocalist is Tatiana Shmayluk (metal is oozing from her every pore :D)
Obviously NOT going on THE BEST VOCALIST BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE THAT COMES ANY WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS FLOOR IS IN RANGE TECHNIQUE BREATH CONTROL, EMOTION , POWER ETC ETC HOW THE HELL DOES DORO EVEN MAKE THE LIST SHE HAS A ONE DIMENSIONAL SAME OLD SAME OLD VOCALS. A GOOD INDICATOR YOU DO NOT SEE ONE VOCAL COACH EVER REACTING TO DORO VOICE TECHNIQUE ON UA-cam.
@qpruleok5798 Doro was and still is, to this day and age, a good singer. A good vocalist to me does Just as well live as in studio. Doro did both very well. She also had this special grit to her voice, which also made her stand out. Though I never was a fan and probably never put her originally, I have a hard time overlooking her talent. I agree: Floor is in quite a different league. Though Tatiana got better growl and Sharons clean very good, her versatility is astonishing. Just her doing GLS is a master class in vocal control.
@@qpruleok5798 You Floor fanboys need to relax. It’s just a list on the internet , you take it so personally, not everyone likes the same things , there’s no right or wrong answer, Floor is your number one great , for me Doro topped my list 🤘🏻
I have 2 Doro CDs Raise Your Fist Calling the Wild I'll include Maria Brink from In This Moment Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil Sharon den Adel Within Temptation Liv Kristine
@@christopherbarker1048 great additions , all great singers , Doro is an artist I definitely need to add to my collection especially the Warlock albums , they have all 4 Warlock albums in a boxset on Amazon I need to grab 🤘🏻
Hi from Slovenija, great list, Doro is and will be number one forever! Don't know all of them from your list but I'II ad Asami from Lovebites and Krista from Lutharo and maybe Laura from Burning Witches! Metal Forever 🤘🤘🤘
Exelent. I would extend the list with 3 more but since is Top 10... Alissa White-Gluz, Maria Brink, and of course MELISSA BONNY. I will put Melissa or Alissa over Tarija. No hating, the music is metal, but vocaly (she is a great singer) eeeeehhh... not so metal. Just my opinion.
The only reason Adrienne Cowan is not in this list id have to guess she is not big enough to be mentioned. She slays all of this list, whether it is clean or growls/screams. Look up the song Architect of Creation by Seven Spires. Please!
@@qpruleok5798 ok? That is true of Adrienne Cowan. She even sings a jazz song in Love’s Souvenir by Seven spires. Half of that song is pure jazz which turns to metal for the 2nd half of the song. Instead of blindly insulting, go listen to her music. I’ve already given you two great songs, and I’m sure you won’t regret it. We all love metal and great singing after all.
Hi, I am one of that mental insane NIGHTWISH Addicted 😉.☝️ First 😨, FLOOR?! Only # 2 😲?!!! But your choice was wise 🤓🤣. DORO, a rolemodel for so many, female and male. Truly a Monster of Rock. Btw. Angela is in the Management of ARCHENEMY. It was her choise to step back and give Alyssa the mic.. But sometimes she's still singing. Thank you for your reaction. Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex
Can't argue with Doro as No.1 pick, memories of watching Warlock back in 86 opening for WASP, I remember they were the better band on the night! A couple I would throw into the ring, Kelly Johnson (RIP) original Girlschool vocalist, great frontwoman. Coming more up to date I rate Marta Gabriel of Crystal Viper highly. Great guitarist too.
@@petegreenfield3645 yeah Doro is the Queen and a legend, she embodies everything metal , I love those Warlock albums , I’m jealous you got to see her perform in Warlock, I was to young 🤘🏻
Doro is my #1 as she has been and continues to kick ass!!! I have one that you didn't mention...Noa Gruman of Scardust. But all in all I pretty good list
Floor Jansen number one!

Everyone is entitled to their own rankings. I do not disrespect yours, but Floor will always be my number one.
@@eddysmith6875 it’s all personal preference , there’s no right or wrong answer 🤘🏻
Your list is ok, but I can't agree on any list that dosent have Floor Jansen on top. I think she has no equal to be seen for miles.
Who paid you to tell this.

Doro's cool, but you've got to check out Leather Leone of Chastain and Ann Boleyn from Hellion.
@@kevinbrown1893 I think I’ve heard Leather Leone before , but Ann Boleyn doesn’t sound familiar

Battle Beast= NOORA LOUHIMO from Finland. NR: 1.
Of course she is not.
Floor 1, Noora 2 in my opinion. But there are multiple great vokalist and i love them all what i know

Agreed Doro for me is Heavy Metal , she’s still killing it , I’m not familiar with Scardust need to check it out 🤘🏻
@@metalmusicmeltdown I hope you do check out Scardust, they are progressive metal and pretty darn good
Doro is too old for Female singer.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are having a laugh Doro one dimensional cheesy rock voice FLOOR IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF HER AND THE REST SINGS ANY GENRE BRILLIANTLY
