I would have to flip Simone and Floor. They definitely deserve to be the top two. I think what would give Floor the edge in my opinion is her range. You pick any genre, she could sing like she belongs there. If you didn’t know she was a rock singer and you heard her singing another type of music, she could fool anyone into believing she belongs in that genre. The best example is her performances on the tv show Beste Zangers. If your first introduction to her was on that show, you would laugh if someone told you she was a lead singer in a metal band.
My TOP 3 in order : 1- Floor Jansen 2- Simone Simons 3- Brittney Slayes // And I also think Sharon den Adel should be lower than 4... she sings most of the time always in the same range of her voice. (I have 4 Within Temptation albums... but among all the female fronted band I listen to... Within Temptation is among the one I like the less (Still like it a lot :P). Still... very nice selection.
@@renefrijhoff2484 All her performance from Beste Zangers spread like Fire. I watched Beste Zangers while it was playing last summer (Thx again Denise Hofs!) and each week it was crazy sensation. And no... no one would laugh because IF they watched the show it was mentioned DAY 1 she was a Metal Singer of international renown but nearly unknown in Netherland. And her Vilja lied was quite "metal-like" :)
@@zebramasklover Your are right I got that wrong. Anneke van Giersbergen is from Aeyron if I am correct. And she is not in the list. But Should be. Kan ook gewoon in NL hoor. Ik ben het met je eens. Dutch rules.
I like this list and totally agree about the top 3, though I couldn't decide about the order… guess in such spheres it's only a matter of taste. I missed Anneke van Giersbergen and Sabine Edelsbacher (still underrated if you ask me), but there will always be some missing in a Top 20 list.
The most versatile singer in any style of rock today is Floor! Her stage presence is second to none and her technique is near perfect. Her range is world class... not sure what else can we judge her on? I honestly believe she is one of the best all around singers on the planet!
Thank you very much for posting this! "Symphonic Metal" is a genre that seems to encompass too much. I prefer the female-fronted bands that can hold a balance of symphony and metal; ever so easily done. I hunt for the sound I want and have to dig through bands that should be in a separate category, but maybe this mixed variety is what makes the genre what it is. But to my point. Your post featured some musicians I didn't know before and you've given me a little taste of the bands they're in--that being your countdown from 20 to 10 or so. Rating your picks for the top 10 is tough because those women are powerhouses. I agree that Floor should be #1 because she can hit stellar heights with her voice, but not with Nightwish. Simone is great but I don't think she has the power Floor has; Simone is often overpowered by the music and the grunting/rough vocals/whatever-you-call it. I'm very pleased you put Serenia in here because those women were great and that band (more than any other) knows how to balance the female lead with the male grunt/gruff/whatever, I should say they knew how to do it because that's another band that's gone astray. Because of your post, I have some bands to hunt down; thanks!
How come the male singers all sound like they drank took much whiskey and smoked too many cigarettes, and the women all sound like Angels? I can never figure it out. :)
I do believe the women take care of their vocals more but they are a few male singers I like ,tony kakko,tommy of kamelot is okay,but micheal kieke is the best.ive heard him say he much rather sing songs like guardian angel than metal but it dosent sale.
@@gaylenorris435 Sadly (VERY sadly) Tony Kakko seems to have lost some of his voice... everything I hear that is recent sound less on point than when he was younger. Sad... I REALLY love Sonata Arctica. Currently one of my favorite male voice is Hansi from Blind Guardian.
Bc they’re singing opera to metal music. They’re not metal singers. You don’t see guys who sing opera try to sing to metal. Lzzy Hale is a great metal singer and sounds amazing. These girls 🙄
Floor No1 because she can sing anything any genre tempo whatever. Simone and the rest are way way behind, dont take my word for it investigate for yourself. Where is cristina scabbia ?
Being a soprano myself i think people are obsesed with high notes, mezosopranos and contraltos are amazing and so powerfull !! come on people! Cristina Scabbia is wonderfull
My Favorites: Floor Jansen Tarja Turunen Simone Simons Shadon Den Adel But Where are the Arch Enemy Singers? Where is Amy Lee? Anette Ozlon is in your list and Amy is Not! Can't Believe this.
@@MikeHuntEsq by the way why didn't they say what bands they come from and by the way if I wanted to listen to I would listen to Opera not metal I think metal female singers have a much broader Style
She might be your favorite, but technique-wise she isn't on par with Simone and Floor. I still like Within Temptation a alot, don't get me wrong there . :)
Recently, I'm sorry for symphonic metal, As a beginner, please tell me. For example, # 18 Liv Kristin is Leaves' Eyes. And Name of the vocalist and the artist belonging to Please tell me, thank you.

Well, this is your choice. But you lost, or never known, of really Metal Queens. At least: Lita Ford and Doro. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I found something interesting.
Tarja and Floor the BESTS!! :D
Love this video! :D My favourite one is Tarja, but all of them are great!!
Floor Jansen is by far the best. Her vocal range is unbelievable.
So many many marvellous female Metal singers. These were all great.
Floor is by far the best female vocalist by range, power, style, clarity of her voice, any metric. Plus she can sing anything.
Tarja mi reina... gracias a ella me eduque en canto la adoro, todas son excelentes
They all are outstanding!!!
Floor Jansen, by far the Best! The widest range of them All.
I'd certainly swap one and two. Floor's voice is much more flexible as to styles and has a wider range.
Damm right
Absolutely!!
Yup BUT I clearly put Simone rank 2... she is amazing.
@@jeffreyneas9510 but but ... Simone's range is more flexible and wider in the bed
Thanx! Great Video, also to know more great lady singers! As someone said: They are all great in their style and individual characters!!!
Great list
Really great list. I would mostly do it like you did though I didn't know everyone. But I really liked it nonetheless.

Definitely. And the one that spread like wildfire was the performance of The Phantom of the opera with Henk Poort.

Glad to see Simone on the top! Amazing choice with the track as well!
Simone❤❤
well, the netherlands rules that list huh? And you even forgot Anneke van Giersbergen!
Giersbergen is on the list if i did see correctly.
@@masterrubyan2976 i think that was the other Dutch singer with that last name
@@zebramasklover Your are right I got that wrong. Anneke van Giersbergen is from Aeyron if I am correct. And she is not in the list. But Should be. Kan ook gewoon in NL hoor. Ik ben het met je eens. Dutch rules.
Anneke definitely needed to be there
Anneke is my #1, then Sharon, then Floor, then Simone, then Tarja. I sometimes flipflop my first 2.
I love they: Sharon, Tarja, Anette, Liv Kristine,
Cool.
Simone?

Para mi Tarja es la numero 1!
Tarja The BEAST! IS #1!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most versatile singer in any style of rock today is Floor! Her stage presence is second to none and her technique is near perfect. Her range is world class... not sure what else can we judge her on? I honestly believe she is one of the best all around singers on the planet!
There is presence en there is stage presence. The last one you can learn, the first one you have it or not! Floor has bold....
Floor should’ve been number 1!
Tarja is the number one
Perfetto!!! Condivido in pieno!
I love them all

I love Sharon 💕
#1 is Floor all day
Simone Simons is the best 😘😘😘😍 my love. So beautiful and talented girl. Epica one love😘😘
My favourite is Tarja,Floor and Anette!3 different style,3 different angels!
The best are FLOOR, DIANNE, MANUELA. Divine voices. Goddesses of symphonic metal.
YOU CAME BACK!!!! THE VIDEOS WERE BLOCKED. I WAS VERY SAD
1 tarja
2 floor
3 simone
Maybe in a parallel universe
Sharon will always be my favorite!
I my perfect
Not metal
What? Not metal???
Sharon and Anneke
Awesome Aaron wise words
I give you my heart.
Julie.
Floor and Simone both share #1 - but I also add Tatiana. All three deserve the spot in my opinion.
who's Tatiana ?
@@angelahkaa Tatiana Shmayluk is the lead singer of the Ukrainian metal band Jinjer. Edit: Check her out, she can speak English too.
Tarja especially when she was with Tuomos and Nightwish is my #1 pick
Can you pleaseee tell me the song u used for Simone I don't know it but it's really awesome!!! Great list by the way :3
Floor is number 1
1 Anneke van Giersbergen 2 Tarja Turunen 3 Ailyn Gimenez
Today I found a bunch of new bands I wish I'd known about when I was 16. Sometimes I love the internet.
How come the male singers all sound like they drank took much whiskey and smoked too many cigarettes, and the women all sound like Angels? I can never figure it out. :)
I do believe the women take care of their vocals more but they are a few male singers I like ,tony kakko,tommy of kamelot is okay,but micheal kieke is the best.ive heard him say he much rather sing songs like guardian angel than metal but it dosent sale.
There are a lot of beautiful male clean voices in metal. Try Myrath or Vanir, they have amazing vocalists.
What's to figure out...just lie back, close your eyes and enjoy!
@@gaylenorris435 Sadly (VERY sadly) Tony Kakko seems to have lost some of his voice... everything I hear that is recent sound less on point than when he was younger. Sad... I REALLY love Sonata Arctica. Currently one of my favorite male voice is Hansi from Blind Guardian.

I loved this list. What was the name of the song by Manda Orphuis of Nemesea?? Love these ladies
Nemesea - Angel In The Dark (Mana - 2004)
funny, i was led to this video while watching a lot of Anneke van Giersbergen and then she`s not even on the list ???
Criminal omission.
She s not sing metal too gentle
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 yes she does:
ruclips.net/video/1HUMwinV2AQ/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/hZUJcOLd86Y/видео.html
come on? Floor and Nightwish? a match made in heaven? Yes even the gods like this!
It would be great if you could put the names on the description. Man! It is harder to see each comment every week.
Floor No1 because she can sing anything any genre tempo whatever. Simone and the rest are way way behind, dont take my word for it investigate for yourself. Where is cristina scabbia ?
Could say the same about Sharon van Adel, one of the reasons that she sings with a shitload of other artists.
I miss scabia too
Being a soprano myself i think people are obsesed with high notes, mezosopranos and contraltos are amazing and so powerfull !! come on people! Cristina Scabbia is wonderfull
nice
#1 Floor Jansen
Floor nr one forever
My Favorites:
Floor Jansen
Tarja Turunen
Simone Simons
Shadon Den Adel
But Where are the Arch Enemy Singers? Where is Amy Lee? Anette Ozlon is in your list and Amy is Not! Can't Believe this.
Its a very old list ;-)
Floor Jansen's powerful voice combined with songs made by songwriting overmind Tuomas Holopainen is a weapon of mass joy.
Annette Olzon>>>>> Amy Lee 😙
You can do your own fav list
@@heyyou3133 OK Boomer. Despite That, Do You Agree with my Opinion?
Where is Cristina Scabbia...
Yes... where??????
YEAH, where IS she????
Because this canal is only symphonic metal
Hey! I understood correctly: a "metal singers", not a "symphonic metal singers"?
Scabbia? Yes...and where is Kari Rueslatten?? And there is a Van Giersbergen but she's not ANNEKE?!?!
Where are the vocalists of Arch enemy?
The title said "singers", not vocalists. They were excluded by virtue of the fact that they do not sing.
YOu can't say that for Tatiana or Anneke...
@@MikeHuntEsq Bullshit. Alissa White-Gluz has an AMAZING singing voice (See 'We Rock' from Metal Allegiance and 'Liar, Liar' from Kamelot)
@@MikeHuntEsq this list should have been called opera singers with metal backing I've actually never heard of most of them
@@MikeHuntEsq by the way why didn't they say what bands they come from and by the way if I wanted to listen to I would listen to Opera not metal I think metal female singers have a much broader Style
Love the women on this video! Anyone that is really into this music should definitely check out Pamela Moore!
Queensryche ?
3:50 song?
Tarja the best!!!! For ever🙏🏼
Perhaps if you did a new list Cristina Scabbia would be on it.
Where is the inspiration of almost all of them? Where is Anneke van Giersbergen, The Gathering?
Tarja and Zuberoa Aznarez are my favourites
No es muy difícil adivinar quienes estarán en los 4 primeros lugares. Solo el orden puede cambiar. Cualquiera d las 4 puede ser número 1 🤘
For my opinion , Floor is the best!🤟🏼
floor is number 1
All day, any day.
without question
Simone and floor should be both on the first place. They both are out of this world
Todas são lindas e divas
Mas senti falta da Amy da banda Evanescence.
Sharon is my #1
SIMONE SIMONS FOREVER.
Sharon is #1
She might be your favorite, but technique-wise she isn't on par with Simone and Floor. I still like Within Temptation a alot, don't get me wrong there . :)
Charlotte Wessels has by far the most unique and recognizable voice in this group. Not saying she is the best as it is all subjective.
Agreed
Agreed.... LOVE DELAIN!!
Not against Floor.
oh man Sabina died that's a bummer rest in peace sabina
No Lzzy Hale, no Doro Pecsh, no Amy Lee?
Lets not forget Kittie - Morgan Lander

Cómo se llama la canción del top en donde sale tarja?
Love manda😍
Manda means cunt in Russian ... (no offense)
Simone e Floor na frente de Tarja foi sacanagem e uma lista dessas sem a Amy Lee nao da nem pra levar a serio hahaha
Floor all the way... more versatile and wider range, stage presence, voice power...no question about it...
I think Cristina Scabbia should be in here to.
Fiquei esperando aparecer Anne do Lacrimosa, Vibeke do Tristania...
Well, this is your choice.
But you lost, or never known, of really Metal Queens.
At least: Lita Ford and Doro.

I love Amberian Dawn! Fuck yeah!
