    I would say if they qualify then so does Pink or maybe Joan Jet. I do love Amy Lees voice tho.
    I have nothing against the womens movement. Especially when Im walking behind it.

    If you use a loose of definition of what metal is then they could pass as alternative metal but then by that definition linkin park could pass as alternative metal.

    Well if by 'metal' vocalists if you just mean metal and hard rock, probably Tarja whatever her name is from Nightwish, and the chick from Lacuna Coil.

    For actual metal vocals (as opposed to the vocals of a metal band) Angela Gossard sounds like a friggin man. I hate females doing metal vocals it sounds like someone garotting them, but she does a fair impersonation of a male demon beast thing.

    Yeah, wasn't Tarja the more famous Nightwish vocalist? Sorry, I was never really into that kinda stuff.

    You should check out Arkona (Rus), the Folk Metal band. Masha "Scream" has an amazing range.

    Here's her in all her pagan pride.

    The Norwegian Folk Metal band Lumsk also has a very talented female vocalist.

    Not really metal tho.

    Anyway, back to metal female singers.

    Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy.
    ****** band but she do know how to growl. Funny enough I saw the band where I work 2 days ago.
    1 word, Photoshop

    Keltziva from Dismal Euphony
    Good band and moody vocals that fit the music nicely.

    Cia Hedmark from Otyg and Vintersorg.
    Same as above, good band(Otyg was and Vintersorg older albums) and good vocals that fit the music perfectly.

    Angela rules as does Arch Enemy in general. Really only female Ive seen that can do the damn growl...so many try an fail.



    check out Otep. she is ****ing nuts.
    Man she annoys me so much especially her Rage Against the Machine attempt with TRIC which is unintentionally hilarious.

    Anyway Tarja, Angela and Cristina are the best. I do think that Amy Lee can be classified as "metal" but yeah you have to stretch it, certainly some of Lacuna Coil's stuff is hardly metal either and Nightwish is almost in a class of its own but both get the tag so Lee probably deserves the same benefit of the doubt.

    I'd say Emma Hellstrom from Swedish band 'The Provenance'.

    I've seen Amy Lee perform live on TV and her voice was awful, I have no idea why so many people think she's a great singer. Evanescence aren't Metal either.

    Cristina Scabbia isn't too great as well, her voice is rather flat when performing live and struggles with the high notes.

    Angela Gossow is awful. She has a massive ego and is a very mediocre vocalist, despite her best efforts to sound like a man she never succeeds and just has an annoying, weak growl over weak music that is nothing more than re-hashed Carcass riffs from the 'Heartwork' album.

    Yeah but it fit their earlier work.
    Now that they have turned into a italian version of Korn her vocals aren't fitting anymore.

    Judging from what I saw, I can agree with that.
    The rest of the band seem ok, they acted and looked like regular metalheads.
    But she was wearing these big 70's sunglasses, indoors.
    And she was some distance away from the band having this strange pose almost like she expects people to walk up to her and ask for an autograph so she can turn them down.

    So according to me the most awesome female vocals are:
    Tarja Turunen (ex Nightwish)
    Anette Olson present Nightwish
    Kimberly Goss Sinergy
    Sharon Del Adel Within Temptation
    Amy Lee Evanescence is pretty cool too
