Is Anyone Better than Sarah Mclachlan (epessel no good)

[Donk Yore]

damn. Tell me someone who is more beautiful, with a more beautiful voice, and writes more beautiful lyrics and melodies. I'll give you a nickel.

[peacefreak]

1. Make that a dime.

My vote goes to Emmylou Harris.

[Donk Yore]

2. Or Melanie

[UTUSN]

3. It's her on the ASPCA public service announcement, isn't it. Heartbreakingly beautiful. n/t

[Donk Yore]

4. yes, it is

a beautiful voice, a beautiful woman inside and out.

[AlCzervik]

6. i can't even watch that any more, it always makes me cry.

[DarkTirade]

5. I dunno, on the gothy side you've got Amy Lee...

choosing which one has the prettier voice just depends on preference there IMO.

Mm... Amy Lee...


I'm sorry, my mind went elsewhere for a moment.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Diana Krall gives her a run for money on looks and voice,

and might score a little higher in quality of music, but that's just me - preferring jazz and Krall's voice over whatever genre it is that Sarah is in and her portamento voice.

[Beaverhausen]

8. I like Sarah- but how about Shawn Colvin? Jonatha Brooke? Eddi Reader?

Patty Griffin? Jane Siberry?

and the queen of all - Joni Mitchell!

[mitchum]

9. Cassandra Wilson

[harmonicon]

10. is that a nickel for each one, or one nickel no matter how many I list?

I'd basically say everyone, but some particularly shining examples:
Kevin Roland
Kate Bush
Robert Smith
Siouxsie Sioux
Ian McCulloch
June Carter

[Skittles]

11. very beautiful voice

she's a wonderful gal, too

[Guava Jelly]

12. She is ....undefinable

[hellbound-liberal]

13. Here's one of my favorites, beautiful woman and a very beautiful voice!

As far as I know she doesn't write many of her own songs but she does interpret the classics nicely!

14. I can't watch her animal ad.

I weep like a baby every time it comes on tv
