My favourite female Metal singers (DESCRIPTION for additional singers)

[@renevw5812]

These woman are all so talented. But Floor Jansen......Well she is from another planet. She can sing really everything. Growling, Classic, Metal/Rock, Poppie.

[@colmerator]

can't agree more. 100% correct

[@crvptfaerie]

I love Floor Jansen, but Simone Simons is a bit better imo. Not sure if you’ve heard her more opera type stuff, but her vocal range is god tier ✨

[@renevw5812]

@@crvptfaerie I agree Simone is better in purely opera, but the whole package i finding Floor more diverse. But those 2 ladies sure dominate and both are Dutch. So feeling blessed :)

[@broadaxeallion]

Tatiana is my all time favorite. I also really like Cammie Gilbert - Oceans of Slumber. She has a beautiful voice. One that I recently discovered is Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara. I heard the song Weatherman but It's not metal. Its more or less hard rock but she has a very nice harsh tone and rasp that sounds really cool to me. I think she could sing metal very effectively if she ever chose to.

[@jccasts]

I always dreamed Alissa WG and Floor singing the Beauty and the Beast...

[@xdemon5015]

Honestly when I first heard people talking about Floor Jansen, I didn't think much of it, and even my one manager at work said people refer to having what's known as a Floorgasm when they listen to her sing. When I listened to her for the first time...she's the embodiment of a music goddess. Some videos out there where they compared her against talentless pop stars singing covers of the same song and these poppies fall flat at their limits, Floor just takes it to another level.

[@poinsettia12]

The best examples... "Shallow" or "Into the unknown"

[@carlosmuigai3756]

Haaa floorgasm I kinda like the term

[@timur9546]

Have you ever heard russian Natalia Tsarikova “Sleeping sun” song with 24 mln views on KZbin? This is where the talent is , which is much better than the original Floor’s one, and agreed by many listeners worldwide ;-)

For me the best cover i've heard from her is Adagio 🙏👏

[@kplkasteel]

@@timur9546 I have and she is very talented and the song you refer to I do prefer above floor's or Tarja's but in all fairness she does studio recordings in an ideal situation which is different than standing on a stage with 90k audience prefroming live with no autoqueu. Natalia though as she mentioned herself is not a rock or for that matter symphonic metal singer and the song she has done just suited her voice.

Really, all of Nightwish's female vocalists (and Marco when he sings!) are great, each in their own way. But Floor is absolutely my favorite of the lot. She's every bit as amazing live as she is in on the pre-recorded album, too! I'm so glad you included Britney Slayes from Unleash the Archers on here. She's amazing, and I don't think she gets as much recognition as she deserves. Suggested additions: Kobra Paige (Kobra and the Lotus), Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy's singer before Alissa came in from The Agonist), Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast)

I could put on the same level Ronnie James Dio who definitelly had one of the greatest voice in metal and Tom Araya who doesn't really do anything like singing. I gave male voices example because I am not really listen to female metal bands. When I am in mood to hear a beatifull female voice I would rather choose from one of my favorite Rock or sometimes classical music singer. What I tried to emphasized was that Tatiana's mixture of charisma, deep growl and natural singing ability should put her on any of "Metal Frontwoman" list.

Huge band-maid and lovebites Fan here although i really do not consider them metal so to speak :/

[@TonySchiavone6]

@@colmerator how do you consider livebites not to be metal. They are non stop speed. Metal drums, metal guitars, metal leads, metal bass. so its country or rap??? Yeah band maid is like rock hard rock style but still talented.

[@colmerator]

Not metal like i regard classic metal, but maybe they have some heavy metal aspects? Tbh when i listened to them i wasnt instantly thinking metal. You know what i mean? But rather something like heavy rock/kinda metalish or something..i get what ya mean and you could make a point for them being a metal Band but thats the way i see it..may be wrong tho or maybd havent listened to all of their stuff 🤷‍♂️ they even give me kinda a power "metal" vibe sometimes so yeah could say metal.. dunno tbh...or f.e. "raise some hell" is ma shit love that hard stuff

[@Jamdcup]

Lovebites is pretty much textbook power metal

[@TonySchiavone6]

@@colmerator Mostly saying not all metal is scream hell satantic worshipping grind core crap. I hear so much Iron Maiden and Dragon Force here. I think people consider Black sabbeth and Ozzy music to be metal and that's some weak stuff compared to else is out there. They are technique talented solo driven metal. Way too fast to be just considered prog rock in my book.

[@captaindeadeye788]

Would've liked Anna Murphy of Cellar Darling and Eluveitie to have been mentioned. Incredibly versatile with her voice.

[@tenac10ac]

She just blows me away Floor Jansen

[@zoonie96]

It’s like this, as soon as I heard Tatiana I had to leave and go listen to her, then I bounced to CRistina, these two r versatile and Ms. CRistina has longevity, and Tatiana aka Cleopatra, haha, is hell on wheels once Jinjer is performing live!

[@gilbertoquinonez1974]

Tatiana Shmaylyuk voice is just BOSS!!

[@CapitanDePlai]

Nice, first two positions are my favorite female voices ever the Queen and the Goddess

Once I saw your pick for #1, I was totally Floored. Haha!😄😁😆👏🤘🏼🤟👍👌

[@colmerator]

BADUM TS!

[@antonios4145]

Absolutely fucking agree with number 1. Floor Jansen is the fuckin master!!!! I have seen her several times and always has the impresion that she can do it even stronger. Listen to her previous band After Forever and cry of pleasure. Floor you are the best. Yeah

[@kevinbowen5563]

Floor ..... 🤟 just in a different league, vocal perfection

[@dirikko7869]

I got so energetic when tatiana shmailyuk was showed . I worship her like so freaking much

[@colmerator]

100% feel u.

[@MooreCEJr]

Tarja vocal goddess,, siren, and all around symphonic metal queen; still going strong today!! Influenced Simone Simons (adopted Tarja's style ), If it wasn't for Tarja there would be no Nightwish; she put them on the map.. Floor keeping the group global.

[@firstclaw1]

Nightwish has a great band composition with all being outstanding musicians. It is wonderful to see them rightfully twice in such a list. Tarja helped a lot to grow the audience and is a wonderful singer. I believe Floor helped Tuomas and the band to try out a greater variety in songs, which enriched the pallette of their music. Floor is undoubtfully the No. 1 now. All others are also great, especially Tatjana and Simone. Within Temptation actually also belongs in this list. Anyway, I didn't know all of these bands, but I will try some of them.

I really like Alissa White-Gluz and Tarja. Beautiful women, obviously, awesome voices. Floor Jansen looks and sounds like she might be a valkyrie straight out of Norse mythology. Wow. 🤘

[@victorfernandotorresbustos4020]

Well her daughter is named Freja the swedish name for the godness Freya in Norse mythology

I knooooooooow right 😱😍

[@evilemuempire9550]

It’s interesting that pretty much all of these phenomenal singers come from three places: Scandinavia (including Finland), the Netherlands, and Canada, even if you include some other greats like Sharon Den Adel, Cristina Scabia, Cobra and the Lotus, Delain, and Annette, every one except Cristina are from those three places.

[@iowa406]

A Doro Pesch? A Angela Gossow? A Mascha Archipowa? ... Liv Kristin( ?), Lisa in Xandria, Elise Rid (?)

[@evilemuempire9550]

@@iowa406 literally half of those are Scandinavian, but of course there are great singers everywhere, there are just lots of famous ones in those places

[@hollyhayes9640]

As a Canadian (Ottawa): I'm guessing that it's because the culture of those places are generally more open-minded than in other countries. 🤟

[@horscategorie]

Floor is a given. All of the others are absolutely amazing... Good picks... I would be hard pressed to not have Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation somewhere too... but I get it - Personal lists. Amy Lee too, but she isn't metal, and is (my opinion) just not quite as versatile as those listed. Frankly, every single one gives me chills... but Floor, well, I have loved her voice since After Forever and ReVamp of yore...
