Very rarely do I like female 'singers'. However, I guess it depends, if you're basing them on talent. I generally don't care for females singers who can actually sing - they are better suited for a pop sound, but I think work well in bands like Cradle of Filth etc as a backing role.

However, I like Gen, from the Genitorturers.

Females don't belong in metal.

The only one I really enjoy is Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy.

That's mainly because she sounds like a man when she growls, but still has a dual purpose as eye candy.

 

[Qoppa]

Masha "Scream" from Аркона (Arkona for the fools who can't read Cyrillic).

 

[Woolie Wool]

Females don't belong in metal.

Ann Boleyn of Hellion is fucking METAL and I hope she descends on a flaming chariot to roast your sexist ass. Hellion's cover of Judas Priest's "Exciter" is incredible.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not the best, but definitely one of the hottest:

 

[Psychonaut]

Too hot for my comp, I guess. I got teh "X"

edit: yah she's nice and I'm not even into redheads...

 

[Vitor]

god, i forgot liv kristine

 

[mutantllama]

You also forgot Tarja from Nightwish.

 

[Vitor]

yep. But i can't edit the poll. i'd like to, but i can't.

 

[Vitor]

and i voted in anneke

 

[Psychonaut]

Oh there was no poll when I did my little list. I would have gone Liv Kristine but chose Doro Pesch for her material with Warlock and helping me get through puberty without climbing to the top of a bell tower...

 

[Zephyrus]

Deva on Nexus Polaris.

 

[unknown]

my vote is a tie between Agnete from Madder Mortem and the singer from Darkestrah

 

[Vitor]

Deva on Nexus Polaris.

 

[rms]

Tarja on old Nightwish or the Dalriada singer

 

[Vilden]

Runhild Gammelsaeter is pretty good. Jex Thoth too. Otherwise I'm not too found of females in metal (both have more to do with the fact that I like their bands then that they are the best though, most female fronted melal tend to suck).
