- Here's our top 10 list of who we think are the best female vocalists in Heavy Metal bands. We have not included Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) and Amy Lee (Evanescence) because Halestorm is torn between Rock & Metal genre and Evanescence is Gothic Rock. Also we wanted to include Maria Brink (In The Moment) on our list but almost all their materials were copyrighted. Comment down below if you think we have missed someone in the list.

Roadrunner: How many of metal's best vocalists do you want?
Nightwish: yes
Haha yes, if you put Alisson and Elize (both Denver 2012) also on the list of Nightwish singers - it is 4 of a kind ;D
Oh yes! Another person who makes this kind of overrated and expired joke! REALLY ORIGINAL! BRAVO!!!🤦🤦
@@SuperPlacido1 Hooray! Another person on the Internet incapable of having a laugh and not realising how tragic that sounds 2 months after the post was made! Please go outside and talk to people every once in a while 😅
@@syko2695 I am able to laugh at original jokes. It was your turn to shut up if you had nothing to say! It's just that after you've seen it a thousand times, it's not funny anymore.
@@SuperPlacido1 So simply move on with your life 😂 You just seem like a twat with your caps lock and your assumption that I care what you think about it lmao
It takes some backbone to put the Warlock singer on this list, because barely one knows her, while Doro paved the way for other female singers in metal. It definately makes this list more sane.
Sorry, but is Doro not the singer of Warlock, at nr 5.....???
Im 50 in uk huge metal and nightwish fan .tho yes glad doro made top 10 shes legend and goddess
You missed Doro - she's No.5 (Warlock)
Doro is really well known in Metal circles we love her in Glasgow Scotland so she's not the unknown a lot of people think.
Doro has long been the de-facto Queen of Metal.
I fully agree with #1. Floor can do whatever she wants with her voice: opera, scream, and even growl like a lion 🦁. She has an amazing voice and stage presence. Best vocalist (m/f)on the planet. 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
No one else comes close!
Eva Spence is better. It's funny when metal fans say such a popular and mainstream singer is "100% the best no one comes close" there are thousands of woman that come close. And metal fans of all people should understand the most famous and popular are never actually the most talented. These lists are terrible.
@@coreywho2972 - It's a matter of opinion. Eva Spence is ok and you can put her on your list. The creator of this video chose not to do so. Being a dick to people that make these lists serves no purpose.
@@RP-gi4ch I'm not being a dick, I'm showing metal fans they're ironically being close minded pop fans. If you think that's being a dick then that's fragile. Its stupid to think the most popular well known is also the best.
@@coreywho2972 Floor is hardly "Mainstream" many people in America don't even know who she is. She's amazing and deserves to be #1. Besides that she's an incredibly modest,nice human being.
# of people shocked that Nightwish took both top spots: 0
Saw Nightwish in LA recently and the band with Floor is truly amazing. In my 70 years it had to be one of the best concerts i'd ever seen and heard.
This women along with an incredible singing ability has a remarkable stage presence. I'm still buzzing.
Excelent top!!!!!!!!!
Floor and Tarja
Are the Valkirians Queens
She deserves to be a #1..
🤘🤘🤘
I don't like symphonic meta, but I recognize that Floor has a absolutely fantastic voice. She is beautiful too❤
I Agree Floor #1!!! Her voice is not of this world. Goddess!!!
Nightwish is my favourite band and and this is one reason why: Tarja number 2, and Floor number 1. The other reason is Tuomas's awesome song writing skills. BTW, I love Tarja and Floor equally.
Doro ... The mother of all modern female metal singers, at no5. So many of these lists ignore her, but she's aged bloody well and still killing it in her 50s .
Floor at No1 is a given..
However, not a single nod to Fabienne Erni from Eluviete or Masha from Arkona. If you want mixed scream/ clean vocalists , Masha is every bit the equal to Alyssa or titanja . Fabi is incredible as well as a pure singer.
Happy with the first but Simone deserves to be allot higher!!! 🥰
from a realistic stand point Simone is 2nd or 3rd best female metal singer ever..
not on this list but in the *world.*
Absolutely, mindblowingly, phenomenal singer...
The only one to definitively beat her is Floor.
The only one to contest her is Sharon-
The only one to contest these three is *No one*
@@F1rstWorldNomaD I would have put Simone no 2
@@F1rstWorldNomaD Gotta be something in our water 😉 Greetings from a very proud Dutchie😋
@@F1rstWorldNomaD But Floor and Sharon are more versatile than Simone. She only sings in operatic way. And Brittney Slayes is better than her. So at least Brittney, Floor and IMO Sharon are better than Simone.
@@F1rstWorldNomaD actually you forgot Marcela Bovio and Anneke van Giersbergen.
It's 2022 and I still believe your #1 and #2 choices are intact. Tarja was a #1 choice for many for a long time but Floor is just at another level from all of them She has to be part alien with that otherworldly voice of hers. Hold her out as the best female singer I've heard in my lifetime.
Good list.
One of the best voices I can not find here... Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering)
Completely agree!
Ooh yes, you are totally right!
Floor and Anneke, the queens
А для меня королевы Аннеке и Лив Кристин.
I love Jinger !! But Nightwish is outstanding.
Yeah, the no. 1 was never in doubt. She can growl, shout, sing opera, musical, pop, soft pop, classic and even religious church music. And she holds endless lines with two sets of lungs. And all styles within one minute, if necessary.
@CZcams areeffingcommies Can Simons growl? No. Is Tarja as versatile as Floor? No. If you limit it to metal, I can understand different opinions. But as a singer overall, I still think there can be no doubt.
@CZcams areeffingcommies I know they are all good friends, so I have done my research. I suggest you do yours and look at some opinions of good vocal coaches (like the charismatic voice, one of the top opera singers in the world).
@CZcams areeffingcommies Whatever, you may of course think what you want. And I have the right to be amazed by that. I wish you a good night!
@CZcams areeffingcommies Floor wouldn't want to be Tarja, it would limit her ability to deliver a story and emotion.
Oh and I haven't seen many (if any) vocal coaches who praise Tarja above Floor except specifically in the more operatic performances.
@CZcams areeffingcommies How very Trumpian of you
I completely agree with Floor. Her Majesty is IMHO the best, most complete singer/ vocalist of any genre and any gender. When you can make even other vocal coaches lose their shit when reviewing/ reacting to your songs, you know you are The One.
My top 4:
1.) Floor Jansen
2 + 3.) Simone Simons & Brittney Slayes ( in no particular order )
4.) Tarja Turunen (not my favorite because of operatic style), but she DOES deserve more than an honourable mention, she is one of the greats of the genre
Like you with operatic style, I am the same with growling, at least as the lead and only vocal. Other than that, I like the list in the video.
Thank you to make me discover Brittney Slayes. She is awesome !
@@mphil78 you're welcome! 🤘
@@mphil78 By the way: a great one, where Britney really shines is "Fate of Man", by Star One (of Arjen Lucassen, better known from Ayreon)
@@khymaaren a bit of growling can be functional in the story (like Floor does in Yours is an Empty hope by Nightwish) or as a contrast, like Epica does, but in general I do agree that growling as the dominant style quickly tires, and becomes: "been there, done that"...
The cream of the cream , more names for the honorable mentions: Liv Kristine , Asami , Marcela Bovio , Maggie Luyten, Charlotte Wessels, Maria Brink , amy lee .anneke van Giersbergen, lzzy hale. .Greetings from Portugal 🤘🤘

Yeah Maggie🤘
For me Amy , Maria and Anneke belong in the top 5 together with Cristina.
@@ysinvangulik1004 I've only mentioned the honorable mentions so I don't look bad, all these singers I mentioned are stronger than some on the list, and some deserve to be in the top10 or even the top5, but that's my opinion and it's worth it, greetings from Portugal 🤘 🤘
Hi Amaldo, I understand.
I am not attacking anyone Favorite singers is all about personal preferences. These were just mine.
Grtz
Vibeke Stene (ex Tristania)
Floor is absolutely amazing she is really the Valkirie Queen❤🤟
Wrong tarja and Simon Simone are far better but Floor is in top five
Floor is the best hands down!
@@ronaldperronjr2247 No actually you are wrong.
@@ronaldperronjr2247 Tarja can do only one thing. Listening to Tarja = 90% waiting for a few impressive notes, not a performance. Tarja is not a good singer. Many technical problems.
@@ronaldperronjr2247 Floor Jansen is very often called one of the best female singers of the moment in the world by vocal coaches and teachers. Find one reaction video in whic they are so flabbergasted by Tarja. None are. If they listen to Phantom of the opera live with Marko they start praising him lol. Simone does get very good reviews too though.
How could you forget Anneke van Giersbergen? She deserves the 2nd place! No doubt, that Floor is No 1 by far...she is out of competition!
For me Anneke tops Floor.
Personal preference
Not only has i said in my post someone missed :Liv Kristine , Asami , Marcela Bovio , Maggie Luyten, Charlotte Wessels, Maria Brink , amy lee .anneke van Giersbergen, lzzy hale.
Anneke is the No. 1 female vocalist since 1995
@@arnaldotanta3630 top 19 then?
Anneke tops Floor
I really miss Noora Louhimo ( Battle Beast). She is so amazing...
Agree! And also Charlotte Wessels, Lizzy Hale. Very nice to see Doro on here though, she has been kicking ass for so long!
Was totally gonna say this.
Who could doubt that Floor is the MASTER? She is the Queen of female vocalist. Floor we love u. Spain
Had the privilege of seeing Floor a few times, Sharon once, Tarja once, Charlotte W a couple of times, Alyssa once. I agree with the ordering of this list. But that's my taste. Many very powerful voices on this list. What a great time for metal.
Thumbs of for the inclusion of Doro! Most of them are symphonic metal bands (except Arch Enemy of course :D ) but we shouldn't forget the Metal Queen.
And also Jinjer.
Long live the Queen of metal Allisa white Gluz # real metal...
I’m not a fan of the type of music that Floor, Simone, Tarja, or Sharon create, but I recognize their incredible talent. Even so, I wish that Lzzy Hale, Maria Brink, Ash Costello, and Candace Kucsulain made the list.
As for Maria, apparently In This Moment is brutal about copyright restrictions so these guys can’t include her in any lists. One of them said that exact thing. It’s stupid and shortsighted by the band.
I love Babymetal and Amaranthe and they were the honorable mentions 🥲
I know, still let's give credit, at least they managed to fit The 👑 in the list, somehow 🤘🏻🦊⚡
Do you know which song from Babymetal they played? It wasn’t in the description
@@Anna-ug9no KARATE
@@Anna-ug9no KARATE indeed, the official MV. 🤘🦊⚡
Can't help thinking that Elize Ryd should be ON the list, instead of just "honorable mention"... 😏 But I do agree to most of the singers on this list. Especially with Floor Jansen as number 1! 🤘
Thank you for including Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-Metal). Saiki from Band Maid as well as Lovebite's Asami would also fit nicely.
Saiki is way better than Suzuka.
I love Saiki and band maid but band maid isn' t considered metal .
@@arnaldotanta3630 sure they are hard rock but melodic metal too.
I'll pay that. agreed.
Floor is the Valkyrie goddess! No doubt there!
I wholeheartedly agree with Floor as #1! Lzzy Hale though should be up there, Taylor Momson is finally coming into her own. Might I mention Jen Majura as well not only for her phenomenal guitar playing but as a solo artist.
Just my opinion, please don't bash me! 🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘
Even tho Lzzy is my all time fave. I’m not sure they reach far enough into the metal category.
How lucky is Nightwish, they have had two of the greatest voices in metal as their singers. Plus also one of the greatest male voices😁
Floor is not only an amazing singer, is the absolute performer!
Even though Sharon is my favorite singer of all time and she will always be, I have to agree floor Jansen is a hell of a singer! What a powerhouse. I wouldn't know a single person who could reach that kind of level!
I was gonna say, Floor Jansen better be #1 here. The Tarja era was simply divine. Tarja’s TPOTO my favorite version hands down bc of how well her and Marko played off one another there. That was her last show with NW. I can agree with most of this list, but Simone Simons definitely isn’t #7 and Brittany ain’t #10. I mean imho anyways. To each their own. Sharon is amazing, and she shouldn’t be after Alissa. I love AE, but Sharon is much more complex then Alissa. And Angela, yeah she’s a badass!! I think she did good by picking Alissa to replace her in AE. Su-Metal as an honorable mention. Nah! She’s fucking awesome! Otep, meh. Maria Brink is missing too.
Melody Cristea of Liliac deserves to be here.
floor the number 1!!! the metal queen !!!!!!
Floor #1 and Doro included in to 10. Can’t ask for more!😊❤️
Yes , You have moor...:
Dienne Grinsberg
Masha Archipowa
Noora lauhimo ;P
Lita ford
Very good to see the 2 greatest Female vocalist ever 1 and 2 both with the current best band in the world
My current personal top three: Charlotte Wessels🎶 Sharon den Adel 🎵 Amy Lee 🎶
That Simone girl is unbelievable!
She is. Check out Epica.
Specifically, Unleashed by Epica. The opera tones she uses at the end are just... *chef's kiss*
Hail the Queens, Tarja, and Floor.
I learned about some others I need to check out. Thank you for the list.
Slays is criminally underrated. That chick has some SERIOUS pipes. Probably the second most versatile vocalist of the group after Floor. She can hit high notes, hold high notes, sing aggressive power metal, folk music, prog metal, opera... you name it she can do it.
She is impressive! I would put her on the same level as Simone Simons
She is a bad ass to be sure. I caught UTA live September of last year when they came through OKC. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. It's probably hard for some people to believe that she can pull those notes off live, but she does and does it incredibly well. She would land in my top five for sure. Right up there with the ladies from Nightwish all three of them, because whether you like or hate Anette you cannot deny the contribution she made to the band. Their two best selling albums have her fronting the band.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 She's better than Simone milion times. Simone have no balls at all.
@@poinsettia12 A million times even.. wow. That's a lot. I like Simones voice just as much, sorry.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 I know it's matter of taste but Simone sings only in operatic way. Slayes can also sing opera and be a real heavy metal bad ass:D
But Simone is a beautiful woman so I understand why so many men like her vocals;)
Floor is #1 for sure but Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) should've been on the list. Certainly among the top 10.
noorah is a lot better than elize. sara quadrani is a lot better than elize.. elize is just a pretty face and amaranthe is more on mainstream media..
Agree.... So with Heidi parviainen, María brink, Manuella kraller, etc
100%!!!!
Yay Suzuka Nakamoto BABYMETAL HM🎖️
Doro paved the path.
Alissia is singing clean parts now, she is so awesome!
Angela is like the manager or something.
Floor-🥇 OMG! Valkyrie!
Tarja is still singing.
Alissa has done cleans wiith other bands before AE. .. Gassow is the manager for both Arch Enemy and Amaranthe.
@@paulriddle7818
I was talking about Arch Enemy specifically, I should of put that in. But good info for random readers. 🙂
Joan Jett also paved the way.
I like this list. Covers a variety of genres and styles. Great video to show people, "Metal isn't all the same"
Me encanta la lista aunque para mi faltó Vibeke Stene, y por supuesto que la n°1. Es Floor Jansen, ninguna se le puede igualar, es la perfección.
Just a fantastic voice in whatever she sings 10 out of 10 never fails to entertain keep going floor xx
All hail queen Floor!!!
I think you should redo the list and include among others: Liv Kristine (ex-leave eyes), Asami (lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten (ex-nightmare), Charlotte Wessels (ex-delain), Maria Brink (in this moment),Amy Lee (evanescence), anneke van Giersbergen (ex-the gathering), lzzy hale (hallestorm),Dianne van giersbergen (ex-xandria),Mellissa Bonny ( ad infinitum), Lori Lewis ( therion ),Mayu (nemophilla) and Noora Louhimo (battle beast).greetings from Portugal 🤘🤘
This just makes me think that Opera/Classical and Heavy Metal are about one in the same simply because of how they overlap and compliment each other. Some of these singers are evident of that having clean clear Opera quality voices and perfectly complimenting the distorted gain of Metal. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they were classically trained.
most of the singers get a classical education, for example Tarja had studied Classic and Opera at the university
Dude, check out Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage, then. 🤟 Edit: I recommend that you start with the song "The End Of Heartache". (Sorry that I responded to your comment after a year; I just found it. 😅)
Just as a person who's been listening to metal since 2001: a lot of the most versatile singers go into metal because it's more complex and the can flex more of their vocal chops singing metal songs.
I grew up listening to Doro and Lita Ford
THANKS . Great . Gut gemacht :-)))
Where is Anneke van Giersbergen? She sings better than most of the singers that appears in this list, not to mention she is one of the pioneers in the European female metal scene
Thanks for honorable mention of Baby Metal...they are more metal than several in the top.
Floor the metal goddess, 100% being #1 though my #3 would be Elize Ryd
My only addition?
Helle Bogdanova of Ignea.
Not only can this woman growl, but she's self-taught in that regard. And, her cleans are up there as well. The last thing? Ignea has a very unique sound -- sounding as if they should be from Persia, instead of Kyev, Ukraine.
Thanks to you, i discovered my new favorite band and female vocalist. Thank you very much!!!😁😁😁
@@the_cursed_fire5635 : You are welcome! I actually discovered them because of symphonic metal.
I came back because there is nothing sexier than hearing lyrics in another language (Chorna Polnya, from their last album).
Good list with solid choices. It's very difficult to narrow things down to just 10, as there are a whole load more I can think of that are also phenomenal vocalists
I'd also give an honourable mention to Clementine Delauney (featured on an album with Serenity, and now is the female vocalist for Visions of Atlantis). Whilst her body of work might not be as extensive, she is a fantastic singer, every bit as good (if not as well known) as many of the names on this list, and is absolutely epic live
Yes floor Jensen has got it everyone who's ever played with nightwish was very good but floor just has something different that she brings to the table they all do but dang her vocals just reach to the sky.
#1 Floor Jansen pure Gold there's none better ✨️ 👌
I would add Sara Jezebel Deva, Amanda Somerville, Charlotte Wessels, Anette Olzon, Kobra Paige, Sabine Edelsbacher, Morgan Lander, Melissa Bonney, Veronica Freeman, and Pamela Moore to at least honorable mention. But Sara Jezebel Deva is in my personal top 10.
From what bands are these females from
Liv Kristine( ex- leaves eyes ) , Asami ( lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten(ex- nightmare), Charlotte Wessels ( delain) , Maria Brink ( in this moment), amy lee (evanescence) .anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the gathering), lzzy hale ( hallestorm).

YEAH, how they dare forgetting Morgan Lander?
👍 Floor Jansen 👍
Somebody forgot the queen “Amy lee” from Evanescence ❤️
Should have been at least honorable mention.
In the description, it says that Evanescence is more gothic rock not really metal, which is why they didn't include them.
@@Brandonmtlhd I see a problem with classification there. Gothic rock is a form of metal, and also the first 2 albums from Evanescence would easily classify as Nu Metal, so technically, yes, they perform metal. Anyways, it is pretty nasty to exclude a singer because you think the band is "more like gothic rock" like if gothic rock wasn't metal at all...
@@alxm1271 Not all goth rock is metal. The Cure is one of the biggest goth bands but they certainly aren't metal. Evanescence only sounds like nu metal in that one song but it is not their typical sound. Most people consider them to be goth-hard rock and not metal.
@@Brandonmtlhd i agree with you that not all goth bands are metal. But you can find goth bands tha play thrash, or even death metal. gothic rock, hard rock, as you mention, or even alternative, should be the genre where you "musically" classify The Cure (although they made pretty different albums, hard to classify, they even have some punk and post-punk stuff). And oh, yes, Evanescence has more than one Nu metal song. Their second album is almost entirely nu Metal, and their 2019(ish) album is some kind of symphonic, so yeah, they are ALSO (not exclusively) a metal band.
Thus, no shame in asking Ame lee to be considered in the list. I pretty much agree with the list, but not giving Amy Lee at least a honorable mention... hmm it's kinda weak.
Awesome video of top 10 female singers of Queen s of metal 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice work...1 new singer for me to check-out....only miss Dianne van Giersbergen (ex-Xandria) at least at the honorable mentions = also a real good live-singer.
Thank You... Yah there are few others too we missed out
than you also miss Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-Gathering) and Charlotte Wessels (ex-Delain). both sing but not heavy metal at the moment.
@@CreativeAlliance so time for video nr 2 and 3
damn forgot about that one. For slender build she can sing

Wow Doro, really had forgotten talk about a flood of memories, thank you. Also floor imho is one of the best vocalists regardless of genre or gender absolutely fantastic.
Skin from Skunk Anansie should definitely be on this list !! Even though they're considered a Ska Band some of their songs are more metal than some of these other bands.
"some of their songs.." is the key phrase here 😁
As much as i like SA and Skin, she doesn't belong on this list.
Women like Courtney Love (absolutely hate her) are much more fierce and powerful vocally. Listen to Hole's song Violet.
Then there's songs like "Barracuda" by Heart. Or "Send me a Postcard" by Shocking Blue (1968). True early metal that last one!
a bit of japanese divas: Terada Keiko ( show-Ya) and Asami ( Lovebites)
Agreed. Asami should be in the list
As i said in my post ,someone forget : Liv Kristine( ex- leaves eyes ) , Asami ( lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten(ex- nightmare), Charlotte Wessels ( delain) , Maria Brink ( in this moment), amy lee (evanescence) .anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the gathering), lzzy hale ( hallestorm).and every one of this singers are better than some we saw in the list , and some of this names deserved top 10 or even top 5 . ( im an wolfpack guy surelly i put Asami in top 5 at least )🤘🤘
Glad to see someone finally putting Doro in the list. She paved the way. Agree with the #1 of course
Agree with this top! Hail the Queen of queens!
This should be a top 20 with Floor at nr 1 and the second on nr 11. That’s how much floor stands out above the the rest and is better than everyone in this list.
Well that is maybe what a lot of people think, but I like other singers more. It's called personal preference.
I would have added Maria Brink from ITM but solid list. Floor is right where she should be as the Viking Goddess she is! Love Tarja too but agree Floor is more versatile-there is nothing that woman can’t sing.
"in this moment" is a great heavy metal band with female lead vocalist/singer!
Maria Brink

Floor y tarja en lo más alto. Claramente nigtwish es la mejor banda de todos los tiempos. Y no solamente en este género.. le pelea a cualquier banda legendaria ..son genios y la lista . Excelente..tremendas cantantes todas 👏👏
Our beloved Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😇 ✨ 😍 rules supreme ❤ 💙
It's funny how that Babymetal - Suzuka Nakamoto - *a little Japanese girl* with sweet voice got honorable mentioned along those monsters of singer. xD They're all so impressive, I love Within Temptation, and a big fan of Babymetal for their creativity with music and the energy of their show is just something else
😅 She totally deserves being there, her presence on stage is outstanding. And she's still improving, I mean, the Trilogy live is a challenge, especially Shine and she doesn't disappoint 😏
🤘🦊⚡
❤️ BABYMETAL!
@@DeePal072 yeah but the part they show there Su still quite young and not the good part to show off her vocal yet
I am super happy Doro is on the list, she is the legend and what an amazing voice. And Floor of course deserves to be no 1. I am not a big Tarja fan but when she sings well (in songs like Deep Silent complete) she is great, so she should be on top 10 (not no 2 though). I find Elize Ryd totally average singer and maybe one Arch Enemy singer would have been enough. I think Noora Louhimo is one of the best current singers so I'm disappointed she is not included here.
I love that I know ever single one of these amazing women bands :V
These are globally exposed band and there are a lot more to be amazed by frontwoman in metal. Floor Jansen is untouchable. Tatiana have a decent skills switching the very distinctive vocal style but while Tatiana is onto deep growl, you should check out Mayu (NEMOPHILA, ex-LiPSTICK as Sindy) too. She too have the ability to switch her vocal style effortlessly like Tatiana and her clean vocal is very powerful. Interestingly, unlike Tatiana who master deep growling vocals, Mayu is very prominent in whistle tone fry screaming which considered as the highest vocal register (whistle register) human voice could achieve and she could do it while maintaining melodic tune throughout. Some described her screaming as mountain lion and the fans sometimes dubbed her as the thunder throat banshee queen.
Thank you for mentioning Mayu! I didn't know her before, now I feel like I've been missing out some gem!
@@hazalberilcatalak4477 glad you could listen to mayu's exceptional voice, better late than never. Japanese metal scene is wild with twist and turn but exciting nevertheless. Take NEMOPHILA for example, its a newly formed band (2019) but the band members have over decades of experience on the scene collectively. Their guitarist SAKI is known as Japanese metal guitar goddess and rifflord but not many know her outside Japan. She also a co-founder (with Kreator bassist) of international-based melodic heavy metal project band AMAHIRU which involved Fear Factory drummer and Epica keyboardist to name a few. NEMOPHILA drummer Murata Tamu known as the most prolific new age drummer, had been on the scene since 2007 (jazz) and also a drummer for INSPION Inc. - corporate audio company providing for games & entertainment company, tv shows etc. SAKI and Tamu have had at least 25 years experience on the scene collectively. Also check out a band called HANABIE 🤘🏻
Any song you recommend starting with to listen to Mayu?
@@nassj6593 2 songs to show her vocal range:
- DISSENSION for her banshee-like screaming verses + clean powerful chorus. Their heaviest most aggressive song so far. English CC available for 【MV】NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION
- LIFE for clean melodic vocal throughout. Very emotional song with deep lyrics. Dubbed as their anthem - when performed live, this song is the finale/encore for the show. English CC available for 【LIVE】NEMOPHILA/Life
Honorable mention:
- OIRAN, their first single. Mayu incorporate 3 vocal styles: banshee verses, low hum bridge, clean chorus. This song went through various stages of arrangement and the final polished version released on their debut album REVIVE. 2 version released with video: youtube version (demo) and live. Recommended to watch the live performance (no audience, streaming event) for this song. 【LIVE】NEMOPHILA / OIRAN (NAONのYAON2021)
There are also DISSENSION and LIFE performed at NAONのYAON2021 but the mixing were bit off. OIRAN sounds was perfect - their opening song.
@@nassj6593 also worth checking out are their covers of metal rock pop etc. like Iron Maiden, KISS, Skid Row, LOUDNESS and many more including the Minions Banana Song. NEMOPHILA covers are top notch. One you definitely have to watch is their cover of SHIMI by MAXIMUM THE HORMONE (nu metal band from Japan). All MTH band members can sing and this song features 3 different singers - as you guess it, different vocal styles. What's interesting about this cover is that all NEMOPHILA members also can sing, however for this song, Mayu covers all 3 vocals flawlessly. They did another MTH covers of Zetsubo Billy where their drummer Tamu covering Nao (MTH drummer) vocal.
I would have liked to have seen Maria Brink, Jennifer Haben, Charlotte Wessels and Melissa Bonny in the list. Elize Ryd should have been higher in the ranking.
In the description box they said "Also we wanted to include Maria Brink (In The Moment) on our list but almost all their materials were copyrighted." so if it wasn't for that, Maria would have probably been in this.
I was looking for Charlotte Wessels myself. At least an honorable mention though she’s in my top 10.
I’m not a fan of cookie monster stuff, so…
As i said in my post , someone missed : Liv Kristine( ex- leaves eyes ) , Asami ( lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten(ex- nightmare), Charlotte Wessels ( delain) , Maria Brink ( in this moment), amy lee (evanescence) .anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the gathering), lzzy hale ( hallestorm).and some of this singers deserved be on top 10 or even top 5 , but that is my opinion .
Look 100 percent Valkyrie Goddess Queen of Metal in first but I honestly think Cristina Scabbia and Simone Simmons both should have been higher than Doro and Eliza but take Otep off and add Taylor Momsen and move Alissa up and Tatiana down. Tati can sing but she mostly screams and this is female vocalists not female fronted. So it should be about singers. Just my opinion but great list these women are Metal and all deserve a place maybe it should have been top 15 so they could all get in.
Tatiana sings. What are you talking about? I know you said mostly screams, but I feel like she has a good balance of both.
Momsen is in the hard rock category. Tati has an amazing clean voice.
Exelente, me encantó !
I love floor and no doubt she's on nr.1 !!!!
Tatiana's number one boi hellya
Absolutely nailed this! Hail The Valkyrie Queen!
👍 Floor Jansen 👍
What's the song on Eliza Rud by Amaranthe?
The best thing is...20 years ago there was a very small number to choose from. Just by reading the comments, this could have been a TOP 100 list, and still more who should have made the list. The women of heavy metal have kept the genre alive and well.
Ok, Floor auf #1 - das ist durchaus richtig. Sie ist eine phantastische Sängerin, keine Frage.
Was mich bissel stört, ist, daß sie nur auf Nightwish beurteilt wird... das Jahrzehnt davor läßt man weg🤔. Ich habe sie als Sängerin von After Forever kennen und schätzen gelernt, bereits 2002. Auch wenn es diese Band leider nicht mehr gibt - vergessen sollte man diese Zeit nicht. Da After Forever vor langer Zeit mit Nightwish zusammen auf Tour waren, war der Schritt von Floor natürlich nachvollziehbar und richtig.
Ganz besonders freut mich auch Doro - so viele Jahrzehnte mußt erst mal auf der Bühne stehen👏🤘👏
WoW, Joan, Lita out of this best heavy metal list...so weird...but Floor is amazing I agree...Ave Santos City, Brasil!⚔🎼
Assuming Joan Jett? She is Punk Rock, not metal. Lita should have a spot in here if not just for her influence.
In This Moment, Halestorm and Flyleaf need to be on here. I don't listen to In This Moment since getting saved but Maria Brink has talent. Lacey Sturm is awesome too. Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox. The Letter Black.. I just feel like there are so many good ones missed. Awesome list, yes, but a few are missing
Finally Loved this comment. I typed but never posted since Flyleaf and Halestorm are not considered metal.... Also wanted to have Fabienne Erni and Anna Murphy from Eluveitie
Getting saved? Huh?
@@sukiemonsoon901 Became a believer in Jesus Christ
@@JaelWasFramed Okay, I prefer In This Moment. ^^
@@sukiemonsoon901 I do too, just can no longer listen to their lyrics, that's all. Wonderful talent though, no doubt! 🤩
I thought of 3, and only OTEP was even listed, but as a honorable mention. I would have included Karyn Crisis and Morgan Lander.
Seen Nightwish with the Queen of Metal Floor Jansen, will see Epica / Sabaton, and I will see Within temptations open for Iron Maiden... who's the best...? My wife for get all this tickets🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Man you've no idea how jealous of you I am-
I agree with the N°1 AND the last clip !
1. Floor
2. Cristina
3. Sharon
Floor este REGINA!
O iubesc,iubesc Nightwish!
Wow another awesome top 10 women in heavy metal singers
In my modest opinion Floor is the Greatest and Tarja the second but I think Sharon deserves more!!! Three GODDESSES ❤❤❤
#1 was a given.The Queen.
Growling is not singing. 100 percent agree with Floor as #1
Hard to disagree with the top two, think I would have Sharon and Simone higher, Annette would have to be on the list, better than some on this list imo.
Anette is terrible live..
They missed better than Anette : Liv Kristine( ex- leaves eyes ) , Asami ( lovebites), Marcela Bovio (mayan), Maggie Luyten(ex- nightmare), Charlotte Wessels ( delain) , Maria Brink ( in this moment), amy lee (evanescence) .anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the gathering), lzzy hale ( hallestorm).
The list goes on and on but my favorite is Simone but i am prejudices because she is from my home town 😘
I do so much agree on #1 Floor, as well as #2 Tarja. Funny the leading voices have been with Nightwish. Tarja has such an incredible voice but Floor is really on top of that not only with her unbelievable voice but also with a stage presence not seen often as a combination on this planet. I don‘t know many of the other singers except Doro. oime interesting voices but far away from the two Nightwish power ladies. Well done!
Floor was part of the recent „Sing my song“ show in Germany (also known as the „Exchange concert“ internationally IIRC) and she was doing so well with any song she delivered. As part of that group and in real life she seems to be such a shy, cautious and reliable person. This makes it even more impressive to see what a giant she is on stage.
A pity that younger generations didn't grow up in 80's when female metal singers were fighting for their place with true heavy metal vocals...Jutta Weinhold, Doro, Leather Leone, Wendy 'O Williams, Anne Bolleyn...
And Lita Ford
Leather Leone was awesome.
#1 totally Agree
