Most beautiful (female) singers/musicians

As a follow-up to the thread I started asking for your opinions of the most beautiful women on TV, how about your choices for most beautiful singers/musicians--rock or otherwise?

My all-time beauties:

Nancy Wilson (Heart)
Sheryl Crow
Debbi Peterson (drummer for the Bangles)
Shania Twain
Christine McVie (formerly of Fleetwood Mac)
Martina McBride

Sorry, I meant to post this in the "Not Only A Northern Song" Forum. Carry on.

It will be moved there right now.

I agree with a few:

Sheryl Crow
Shania Twain
Martina McBride

I would add these women:

Reba McEntire
Pat Benatar

For me, a singer's face IS their voice. That is to say, it is the voice that matters to me. So I can't answer the question in the spirit in which it is asked... Maybe I should start a voice thread.

Norah Jones is way cute, and has a fabulous voice.

Tony

First off, this thread is screaming for pictures. Second, I must agree with Amboisvert that the voice is so important. With that, here are some additions:

Gloria Estefan (in another thread Sandy Sunshine said Jim Morrison had a voice that turned her into a "squidgy heap" on the floor--well here's the female counterpart for me)


Natalie Imbruglia


and lest we forget the girl from Ipanema herself, Astrud Gilberto

I agree with Natalie Imbruglia. She is a natural beauty. A friend of mine went to a gig of hers a year or so ago and she said that she had very little make up on and was absolutely stunning.

I think Annie Lennox is one of the most striking-looking female singers ever.

I agree with Natalie Imbruglia too.

I'd add Liz Phair


Charlotte Church


Natasha Bedingfield


And two of the Spice Girls:

Linda Ronstadt

I agree with Sherly Crow and Natalie Imbruglia, and would like to add Katie Melua.
Funny nobody mentioned Madonna, so far.

"She had her moments. She had her style..."

carly simon. beautiful voice, beautiful face.

I don't think Madonna is especially beautiful. Yes, she's had her moments, but the others mentioned so far are more naturally attractive.

Sorry I left out Liz Phair--she's gorgeous.

I liked Charlotte Church when she was still a child prodigy (and no, I'm not a dirty old man), but I've gone off her. A magazine interview with her did not put her in a very good light--well, she did not put herself in a good light.
She smokes cigarettes now! Can you imagine anything more idiotic? A successful young woman with an incredible voice actually begins smoking--not only a danger to her voice (which she apparently isn't concerned about), but her lungs, etc. She really disappointed me.

And Linda Ronstadt might have been a good choice a few hundred pounds ago.

If the Spice Girls get to be mentioned, I think Madonna qualifies. I do think she's pretty. Linda Ronstadt still has a pretty face.

I always thought Sheena Easton was pretty:

When I was teenage, I was the biggest Heart fan in the
world and I was a major Ann Wilson wanna-be. I thought
she was so pretty and so cool--she had a group with her
sister, had some of the hottest-looking musicians (except for
Howard, sorry), and their early albums were imaginative and
had a great variety of tunes: ballads, rockers, everything.
She was a Beatles fan, too, and I sort of related to her at that
age, 'cos she was anti-cheerleader at school and so was I.
She still has such an amazing voice and is still one of my favorite
female vocalists.

I also liked Linda Rondstadt--she was gorgeous, but had wonky
fashion sense. In an issue of Rolling Stone in 1980, she was
wearing a boy scout uniform, or parts of it.
This issue:




I wish I had a face and hair like that.

Linda has lovely eyes.

The neat thing about Linda Ronstadt is that she was beautiful in a way that wasn't terrifying. The picture of Sheena Easton above is an example of what I mean: women in music often get photographed looking mean, or predatory. I think men are supposed to find this attractive, but I don't. Ronstadt looks like she likes people, enjoys a good joke.

Tony

I think Anoushka Shankar is stunning!! She wins..

She is stunning. But I would rather listen to her sister Norah.
