You mean female Tiny Tim with a deeper voice? All of the above are mainstream. Galas is a depressing diva wannabe! Her voice is variously described as shrieks, moans, and generally an ululation. Reminds me of nocturnal bird of prey like a harpy eagle with a modicum of vocal training. Whatever she thinks she is she is quite depressing and typical leftist ...[text shortened]... easant. I'll take Aguilera any day!

frightening!
Anyway, are Liz Frazer and Lisa Gerrard "mainstream"?

Given that I could hardly find them singing alone says it all. Always pairing up with more unknowns. Liz Fraser is way more appealing than Gerrard. They personify boring, however! Only someone fancying himself "avante garde" would buy their stuff.

Originally posted by SeitseShe does have a great voice, but she sometimes over sings. It appears to be the thing to do today. See just how many runs you can make, and rarely sing the song straight is the present day attack on singing.
The best voice in the mainstream music industry today.
Prove me wrong!

Originally posted by PalynkaI misspoke. I thought I'd inserted the names of the two before. I meant the others, the two frenchies. Indeed Evora is far different. In fact I saw her live . Had to be wheeled on stage in a dolly. Once before the mike she transformed. Her touring band was fabulous indeed and so was she. As long as she stays away from pop and does her Cuban specialty. Otherwise she sounds run of the mill!
Edith Piaf wannabe? They're nothing alike. 😕

Just because Morricone happened to have some contractual obligation to record with these cows does not lend them legitimacy, same as Galas recording with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin makes her no more appealing.
