Top Ten Female Vocalists – #1 – Fiona Apple
Not too much suspense about this pick. Those who know me or follow this blog regularly probably guessed Fiona Apple would occupy the top spot the minute I announced the countdown.
Indeed, if I were to combine the male and female lists, Ms. Apple would hold on to the crown.
I don’t know whether Apple is a brilliant performer or somebody who simply lives through her music, and I don’t expect the distinction matters much in the end. Whether or not the passion and pain she exudes in her singing is being lived in the moment, it certainly feels like it is.
