i see someone else put L7: i love them too! got to see them in concert up close and personal right by the stage!! !! ! awesome!! !!

I'm not usually too fond of female singers. I do quite like k.d. lang's voice, though, and I adore Kylie Minogue.

And, while I usually don't listen to country, I really like Martina McBride.

Faye Wong, she's who sang "Eyes on Me" (Final Fantasy VIII OST)
