Sexy Singers
 

No, I'm not talking about pop stars. Or sewing machines, for that matter.

I'm currently listening to Diana Krall. She's got an amazingly sexy voice, very lounge singer/bedroom sort of tone so that even if she wasn't good looking (which she is) it'd still get my motor revving.

Anyone have a singer who they think has a particularly sexy voice? Or rather, since I imagine everyone does, care to name one?

I think Shania Twains voice is amazingly sexy

Diana Krall is amazing on every level. She makes my everything tingle.

I'd add...
Jack Johnson when he sings me "sexy plexi"
Barry White for some old school sexy growl
Brandon Whats-his-name from Incubus
And that kid from Lifehouse has an amazingly sexy voice.
All the guys from Seven Nations. It's the kilts.
Bono
G. Love
Peter Gabriel
Gillian Fiddler-chick
and Joss Whozit.

(i'm embracing my horrible memory with famous peoples' names)

Rufus Wainwright is a favorite of mine. :)

The chick from Metric
Melissa Auf der Maur
Sarah Slean

And a million more I can't think of right now...

I've only heard a couple of Diana Krall songs that I like (but I greatly favor jazz instrumentals over jazz vocals, so that sways my opinion). But Bjork was the first name that jumped into my head when I saw this thread, and upon further thought none other comes close to me. I imagine that her voice would've been what Odysseus heard from the sirens.

I've always had a thing for Cher. Back in the day when she was on "Sonny and Cher" and "The Cher Show."


Anyways, I would have to go for Kelly Clarkson. Theres just something about her. Her songs are catchy and I'm not into women singers. I don't own any of her records, but I'm always kinda singing along. I know she isn't the most beautiful, but shes more real? I don't know how to word it. Like, maybe I could bang her. I don't know.....

EDIT: oops! I think Kellys pop.

I love Dwight Yoakam's voice. I don't listen to much country, but there is just something about his voice that gives me the shivers.

Norma Winstone has a very sexy voice in case anyone gets a chance to check her out (she's obscure and hard to find - a jazz vocalist).

Looks like we have something in common after all!
:)

Can't let this thread go further without a mention of Annie Lennox. Some lungs on that woman!

Not a nightclub jazz sexy, but Sarah McLachlan's voice can do me anytime.

Chrissie Hynde.

Norah Jones.

Dot Allison has a beautiful voice imo.

On the subject of sexy singers, I have talked a little bit online to Mandy Moore... I suppose she's pretty sexy.

Diana Krall and Nora Jones both are amazingly hot and talented Norah has that awsome smokey voice I love it.

I have to agree with Norah Jones. Her voice is incredible.

Liz Phair.

She makes me feel all funny inside... and I get to see her live again next month :)

Jeff Buckley. No, I'm not gay, but damn.

Oh yeah. I drift off when I listen to her.

Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields and Lovage. She may not be the hottest singer, but oh christ her voice just oozes sex. I get uncomfortable listening to her sing if I'm not alone.

Fiona Apple and Grace Slick (circa 1967).

Sade makes me want to touch myself.

(I can't believe I am saying this but...) I agree with Alansmithee, Bjork's voice is the voice of the sirens... When I first heard it (on the Sugarcube's Life's Too Good - I can still remember where I was and when) I had to listen to it over and over again.

I can't think of anyone else who comes close to the majic of her voice.

I have to chime in here with a few that make me wanna touch myself also...
Sade.... no sexier voice out there
Fiona Apple
Nina Simone... I know she is old but damn man... Female Barry White
Dido
And the chick from the Cranberries

She's more than old...she's dead!

It's too bad. She had a truly individual voice.

I've seen Metric... she's great live too! Actually they're touring right now, I think i'm going to see them again in like 3 weeks. Should be great!

Joe Cocker - that bluesy, growly voice and the intensity he puts into every song he sings is magnetic and irresistable to me.

Love Sade's voice for exactly the opposite reason - it's smooth and mellow and soothing

joss stone
janis joplin
robert plant

There was a woman named Kelly Hogan who sang with the Athens GA bands Evening with the Garbage Men and Jody Grind who had a very sexy voice. She was reasonably attractive herself as well.

Oh - and Shirley Manson! Very sexy voice!

first name i thought of was diana krall and then norah jones..then i read roark's comments...

when i was a teenager it was mariah..but i think its only cos i had a huge crush on her as a school kid. now id rather something more subdued and classy..both of which norah and diana fit into this category.

if i say Dave Matthews, no one will smack me, right? when he gets all slow and growly I feels a little tingle in me nether regions.

I'll second and triple Bjork, Annie Lennox and Shirley Manson. And add the lead vocalist for Afro Celt Sound System, Trent Reznor, and the Concrete Blonde sound a la Everybody Knows.

Mariah... She is, or at least was gorgeous, but that damn New Jersey disco-queen accent is like nails on a chalkboard to me, plus I hate her shrieking. She's pretty enough, but just can't bear her w/ her mouth open...

I think Fiona Apple is really sexy. Also Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth and the singer from Mazzy Star.

Shirley Manson (just listen to #1 Crush), Dido, and Kelli Ali (ex-Sneaker Pimps, i think that's her name) come to mind.

Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit of Shakespear's Sister great vocalists and together magic.

Shania Twain has a unique sexy voice.

And as for male singers, Sinatra and Martin wow, to have half their talent would probably get me laid daily.

Joss Stone and the singer from the country group Sugarland, I usually don't like country twang in my music but I like hers..
