Agnes is a Swedish singer and has a really pretty voice. Most of her music is very poppy, so if that's what you like, you'll probably enjoy her. I'm completely in love with her Dance Love Pop album, but the song I'm choosing to share has me hooked. It is from her 4th album, Veritas.
Agnes "One Last Time"
Vanessa Amorosi is an Australian singer and man can this woman sing! Her voice is amazing and she has an unbelievable range. She's another very poppy artist and is 100% worth a listen. The song I'm choosing to share is the title track from her 4th album, Hazardous.
Vanessa Amorosi "Hazardous"
Anastacia is an American singer, but is more well known in the European market. If you like unique, bluesy voices, you will love her. I first heard her on and MTV show called The Cut a very, very long time ago. I was absolutely blown away. Her albums have covered different styles, so it's tough to choose a song. I'm going to share her first single, because it's still one of my favorites of hers.
Anastacia "I'm Outta Love"
Anouk is a Dutch singer and has a really pretty, unique voice. I first heard her when her song "Lost" was used on So You Think You Can Dance. Since then, I've been hooked. It's tough to choose a song from her 8 albums, but the one I chose is from her album Who's Your Momma? This is easily my favorite album of hers.
Anouk "If I Go"
Alexandra Burke is a British singer who was a contestant and the winner on The X Factor. Great, beautiful voice. The song I am choosing is from her first album, Overcome. It's hard to choose a song off that album, because I love every song. This one is probably my favorite though. It has an old school feel.
Alexandra Burke "You Broke My Heart"
Cheryl Cole is an English artist and looks ridiculously similar to Shania Twain. Look it up. It's trippy. Their music, however, is very different. Cheryl Cole was on Popstars: The Rivals and that is where the group Girls Aloud was formed. I'm not a fan of the group's music, but I love Cheryl's solo stuff. The song I am choosing is from her 3rd album, A Million Lights. I am slightly obsessed with this song and I'm dying to learn the dance.
Cheryl Cole "Call My Name"
Nikka Costa is an American singer and has a really unique voice. She had a couple of songs that were featured in commercials, but she just never really caught on with people. Maybe she was too different. I'm not sure. Americans are pretty stupid when it comes to music. She's definitely not poppy like most of the others on my list. The song I am choosing to share is from her 2nd album, Can'tneverdidnothin'.
Nikka Costa "On and On"
Esmee Denters is a Dutch artist and was discovered on YouTube. Justin Timberlake is the person who signed her and took her under his wing. They have since parted ways, but she still puts videos up on YouTube. The song I am choosing is her first single from her only album, Outta Here.
Esmee Denters "Outta Here"
Lara Fabian is a Belgian singer. If you like Celine Dion, you will love her! She has an incredibly beautiful and powerful voice. She usually sings in French or Italian, but she has released 3 English albums. The song I am choosing, though it's difficult to choose, is off of her 1st English album, which is self titled.
Lara Fabian "Adagio"
Dana Glover is an American singer and I have no idea why the hell she isn't more famous. She's absolutely amazing and I would love to hear more from her. Unfortunately, she has only released 1 album. It is completely amazing though. Every song is so, so good. Obviously, the song I'm choosing will be from that 1 album, Testimony.
Dana Glover "Testimony"
Beth Hart is an American singer and is just stupid talented. The first time I ever saw her was on Start Search. I was really little, but I still remember her performances. Such a unique voice with a crazy vibrato. Another singer that proves how stupid Americans are when it comes to music. She's absolutely amazing. If you loves blues and a soulful voice, this is your woman. The song I'm choosing is from her very 1st album, Immortal, when she was with The Beth Hart Band.
Beth Hart "Spiders In My Bed"
Josh Hoge is an American singer. My brother introduced me to him and he's amazing. He's only released one album and it's awesome. He has such a great, raspy voice. Most of his songs are pretty mellow. This song is from his only album, Everything She Was.
Josh Hoge "360"
Jessie J is an English singer. She's had a little success in the U.S. with her single, "Price Tag." That is probably one of my least favorite songs by her. This girl can sing her ass off and deserves to have more success here. There are 4 songs that immediately popped into my head that I wanted to share. It's so hard to choose just one. The one I'm going to share is the title track from her first album, Who You Are. This is such a beautiful song and really means a lot to me.
Jessie J "Who You Are"
Joanna is an American singer. She was to be on a season of American Idol, but was disqualified. I can't remember the reason. I would love to hear more from her. Great voice. The song I'm choosing is from her only album, This Crazy Life. I couldn't find a good video of my favorite song, but this is probably my second favorite.
Joanna "Your Obsession"
Jonny Lang is an American singer and guitar player. If you like blues, you'll love this guy. Incredibly talented and his voice is killer. He had some success with his first single "Lie To Me," which came out in 1997. I've seen him in concert and it was amazing! The song I'm choosing is from my favorite album of his, Long Time Coming.
Jonny Lang "Red Light"
Leona Lewis is a British singer and the winner of The X Factor in 2006. She was dubbed "the next Mariah Carey" and she definitely deserves that comparison. She has the range for sure. Leona did have some success in the U.S. with her single "Bleeding Love," but nothing really progressed after that. Her 3rd album, Glassheart, ended up not being released in America. There are a few songs I could easily choose, but I wanted to pick one that showed her range. This song is from her second album, Echo.
Leona Lewis "Can't Breathe"
Cher Lloyd is an English singer who was a contestant on The X Factor in 2010. She was actually mentored by Cheryl Cole, who is also on this list. Cher has such a great personality and her voice is awesome. She does some rapping as well, which is showcased on her first album, Sticks and Stones. The song I'm choosing is one that I am absolutely obsessed with at the moment. It is from her new album, Sorry I'm Late.
Cher Lloyd "Human"
Pixie Lott is an English singer that I came across on YouTube. The first thing I ever heard by her was a cover of Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody." She has a very unique voice and I loved the way she did the song. I was curious how her voice would translate to more upbeat and poppy stuff, but it turns out, it works! She also does an awesome cover of One Republic's "Apologize." I'm choosing to share her King's of Leon cover, because it's what introduced me to her and made me really like her.
Pixie Lott "Use Somebody"
Amanda Marshall is a Canadian singer and I first heard her when I was about 9 years old. I loved her voice and some of her songs are just amazing. She's only released 3 albums, the last being in 2001. The song I'm choosing is one that I actually really enjoy singing myself. It's from her 2nd album, Tuesday's Child.
Amanda Marshall "Believe In You"
Jessica Mauboy is an Australian singer who was on Australian Idol in 2006. She was the runner-up. Beautiful voice. She can do all of the poppy club stuff, but can also really belt it out. The song I'm choosing to share is from her 3rd album, Beautiful. She has so many good songs. I really just chose this one because I couldn't make a decision.
Jessica Mauboy "To The End Of The Earth"
Imelda May is an Irish singer that sings rockabilly. This is not normally my style of music but I really love her voice. She has the whole look and everything. I'm choosing to share my favorite song of hers, which is from her 2nd album, Love Tattoo.
Imelda May "Big Bad Handsome Man"
Megan McCauley is an American singer and if you like more rock type stuff, this is your girl. She does not look like that voice should be coming out of her. I think I first heard her when she was on the soundtrack for Fantastic Four. As soon as I heard her, I knew I wanted more. It took a while, but she finally released an album and I was not disappointed. It's amazing and I wish she would release some new stuff. The song I'm choosing is from her only album, Better Than Blood.
Megan McCauley "Fragile"
Suzie McNeil is a Canadian singer and was on Rock Star: INXS. I didn't watch the show on a regular basis until the second season, but I did like what I heard from her. I'm kind of glad she didn't win because I love the stuff that she ended up doing. The song I'm choosing is from her 1st album, Broken & Beautiful.
Suzie McNeil "Lonely (Are You Coming Home?)"
Ricki-Lee is an Australian singer and was on Australian Idol in 2004. She didn't win, but ended up with a record deal anyway. Thank goodness. She has an awesome rasp to her voice. The song I'm choosing is probably the first song of hers that I really fell in love with. It comes from her 2nd album, Brand New Day.
Ricki-Lee "Love Is All Around"
Lesley Roy is an Irish singer and if we're talking about some rasp, this girl has it! Her voice is so awesome to listen to. Her songs are amazing as well. For some reason, she has only released on album and I'm dying to hear more from her. The song I'm choosing is obviously from that album, Unbeautiful. It was hard to pick but this song has always really stuck out to me.
Lesley Roy "Thinking Out Loud"
Well, that's my list. Hopefully you are able to find someone new that you enjoy listening to. Let me know if there is someone else that you would put on this list.
