[nelmes69]

[BigSwede]

Lita Ford.

I have never heard of those in the poll except for Doro.

 

[Johan]

Among those, I'd choose Angela, even if Doro is great too.

But, this poll misses all th great female singer from the symphonic-gothic metal scene, such as :

Simone Simons, from Epica : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQiocLTz5uk
Tarja Turunen, ex-Nightwish, now on solo career : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqKwBqXd3fA
Sharon den Adel, from Within Temptation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y420i_soC1c
Floor Jansen, ex-After Fortever, now in ReVamp : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxLC0BoI0ZY
Cristina Scabbia,, from Lacuna Coil : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8f8o8jPjrw

 

[Supafly]

I like Ann Wilson from Heart a lot.

From the above, I'd pick Doro :bowdown:

 

[hiropro]

Veronica Freeman of Benedictum
Ann Wilson

Out of that list Doro.

 

[CunningStunts]

From that list (i.e., HEAVY metal singers), it's Angela Gossow all the way.

 

[Johan]

From that list (i.e., HEAVY metal singers), it's Angela Gossow all the way.

Ok, but Arch Enemy is not HEAVY Metal, it's DEATH Metal

 

[slasher]

Doro Pesch and that is a short list.

 

[scc1971]

From that (way to short) list

Exactly

Not mentioned yet by anyone else, either: Joan Jett, Janet Gardner (Vixen), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm)...

 

[Korto999]

Doro

 

[Johan]

Also missing : Kim McAuliff, from Girlschool

[Jack Davenport]

Doro Pesch.

I wonder if she has covered any Rush tunes.

I would love to hear her try Bastille Day or Anthem.

She sometimes sounds like Geddy Lee.

 

[Death-Proof-69]

i voted for Angela Gossow...but that is a WAY too short list if you ask me...cool topic though, talented chicks singing heavy metal can be awesome when done right

 

[Joorpe]

From that list Angela Gossow. But for me it would have to be Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation.
