Happily suprised to see someone else besides myself who doesnt automatically put Floor on some overhyped pedistal but just like I would puts Tarja at #1!! And no, I am not in any way shape or form saying that Floor is not good, she is fantastic! Easily in my top 5 atleast, but she is NOT the best frontwoman to ever walk the earth, it's not all about technical ability and versatility, there is so much more to the equation
Therion doesn't get enough love - The growls mixed with the strings and the women's voices is killer enough- but then you add in the riffs from their underrated guitar player and the steady drummer keeping everything together- and you have one of the top bands out there
Lmao but Floor’s voice is also kinda boring. Tarja also has so much emotion in her voice that it just doesn’t compare on that level. Some people just prefer Tarja over Floor, and sometimes it’s hard to like Floor when all her stans are toxic asf to other singers.
@@mitzie8352 LMAO LOL different people different strokes... I SIMPLY LOVE FLOOR!!! She give life to the music. Tarja is too operatic and often try to impress by using too much of it... When something is too much, you will have a bad after taste. This is my experience listening to Tarja. I also have not heard Tarja growl before, I wonder how she will sound like? IMHO Floor is the best version of NW.
There's is only 1 song I like with Tarja singing more than Floor, and that's Wishmaster. Otherwise Floor is by far not only my favorite Singer for Nightwish, but my absolute favorite Singer (and band ) of all time! Out of all the music I've ever listened to, her Voice is Stunning beyond Words, and she gives me chills, and makes me cry, where No other singer ever has, the band as a whole makes music that manages to make me more emotional then I've ever gotten over music. Floor Jansen is my Valkyrie Goddess!!
I think one question to consider is historically significant vocalists versus ones who are currently popular so I can understand the choices. If I made it on my personal preferences, Floor is no 1 for sure, add Tatiana and Masha from Arkona.
After reading all the comments I think you’re list should have been the top 25 female singers in metal. There are a lot of great singers missing from your list
That shart is obvisouly made by a Tarja's Fan and is clearly not objective Here is mine 1 - Floor Jansen (the godess) 2 - Sharon den Adel (the angel) 3 - Simon Simons 4 - Kaisa Jouhki (the elve) 5 - Alissa White-Gluz 6 - Tarja Turunen 7 - Anette Olzon 8 - Anneke Van Giersbergen
I really don't think it's possible to be 100 percent objective with something like this. Every vocalist has their own unique style and a powerful voice is not necessarily objectively better than a softer one.
Tarja Turunen Anneke van Gisbergen Noora Loohimo Elina Siirala Floor Gensen Charlotte Wessel Andrienne Cowan Sharon del Adel Simon Simons. My top ten metal singers.
I would replace Angela Gossow with Tatiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer because Angela didn't have a clear voice. Angela was important as the first successful growler, but it gets better.
Best classical/Opera in metal is Tarja Turunen. Best old school blues based screaming metal is Doro Pesch Best growls is Angela Gossow Best mix of growls with clean vocals is Tatiana Shmaylyuk Best clean vocals is Sharon Den Adel Best metal vocalist at versatility in vocal styles is Floor Jansen Best metal vocalist at versatility in crossing or mixing other genres or doing other genres besides metal is Anneke Van Giersbergen
#1 Sharon Den Adel #2 Minniva ( The Cover Goddess) #3 Doro Pesch #4 Tarja Turunen # 5 Cristina Scabbia #6 Joan Jett #7 Elli Berlin ( Null Positiv) #9 Charlotte Wessels #10 Lisa Middelhauve
All hale the REAL TRUE Queen of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGER'S!!!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
Floor is be far the best on this list. She can do everything Tarja can, and way more. The only one she probably couldnt do a better job than is the arch enemy screamo, which half the time I think is a mic setting, because it just sounds abnormal lol
Actually, Tarja is demonstrably a better opera singer than Floor. Have you noticed that when Floor sings early Nightwish song that were written to go with Tarja's opera style, she doesn't even TRY to sing them in an opera voice? On the other hand, Floor CAN do death metal growls, for example the song "Disdain" from the first Revamp album. (Is ReVamp? I can never remember.) When it comes to range and versatility, she can't be beat. ruclips.net/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/видео.html
Singing wise floor Jansen but the best metal singer by far goes to Tatiana from Jinjer. No one can best when it comes to clean vocals and the deep growls
@2 Ssj vocal Any singer sounds like shit in a fan video with bad audio. Watch a festival video with a good sound: JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) | Napalm Records
I'm not sure what's more laughable about this list. Floor only at #4 or Tarja at #1. The popularity of Nightwish now versus 2005 is night and day thanks to her introduction into the band back in 2013. And her versatility as a vocalist second to none. If you take the various styles and sounds of all the vocalists on this list, she has done it, growls included. Not all them can say the same.
You've based your choice on influence/popularity, yet I see no Amy Lee in this list. You can't deny her influence on this genre. She was literally the one who opened the door for so many other female-fronted bands, and while Evanescence definitely wasn't the first band with a female vocalist, they were absolutely the first ones to make it popular. I won't argue whether Amy Lee is the best or not, but she surely is the most influential and popular in the metal/rock scene. This list is incomplete without her. I also don't think this list is based on vocal skills either. It's really random, really. I guess it's just based on your opinion. But honestly, Amy Lee should have been here. 8 people out of 10 who listen to female-fronted bands, have started with Evanescence. Evanescence are literally the ones who introduce most people to the genre. They are the "initiators". 1) Amy Lee (for the influence and the popularity and the huge impact she had in the metal/rock scene, for making it cool to be a woman in rock music and for drawing the huge attention of the public to the genre) 2) Tarja Turunen (for being a legend and one of the most respected women in metal for her class and her vocals, and for arguably being the most influential in the symphonic genre) 3) Floor Jansen (for being the most well-rounded and technically proficient vocalist in metal, and for being an absolute BEAST on stage. She is what comes to mind when you think of a female in metal) 4) Simone Simons (again, beautiful vocals and being one of the most impactful women in one of the most impactful bands in the symphonic genre) 5) Sharon Den Adel (the angel of metal, the most soothing, beautiful, faerie-like voice and the front-woman in one of the most successful female-fronted bands) 6) Tatiana Shmayluk (the *GROWL* god damn it!) The rest can be of any order you like. But these ones, should be on the top. And especially Amy Lee.
Even when some of us started with After Forever and Nightwish many others did it with Evanescence, so yes Amy should have made it to the list, Floor and Tarja are already legendary metal female voices in the metal scene too.
I think Zora from Blackbriar deserves a spot on this list too with her beautiful haunting vocals. Tho Blackbriar isn't that popular yet so I know why she isn't on these kind of lists. It's a shame
I think probably Amy Lee is not on the list because Evanescence is not considered metal? I remember an interview with Simone Simons (from the Canadian documentary "Soaring Highs and Brutal Lows: The Voices of Women in Heavy Metal") where mentioned Evanescence as one of her "non-metal" influence. She also doesn't consider Within Temptation to be metal, btw.
The list should be Angela 1. Alissia 2. Doro 3. All the rest don't have the vocals for metal. What they have is metal music in the background but not in their vocals.
Tatiana Shmayluk? Because she screams, too. (Also, sorry - I just found this comment after a year.) Edit: check out the song "Pisces" if you want to see what I mean. 🤟
Great list overall, and I love Tarja, she first got me into metal (even though she's not doing metal anymore, and was not into metal before ske was asked to join Nightwish)… But you can't have this list without Tatyana and Otep… Their talent is just too remarkable to overlook. Honestly, this list looks like WatchMojo or some similar channel made a "good" list (good compared to their usual stuff, not good on it's own) that they put enough work into to look up the most popular metal bands ever that have a female singer, and then which singers of which bands "should be" in which order to please the audience most (Tarja over Floor over Anette; Angela over Alissa) and which singers should not be on the list (Anette, Elize, etc)… Not saying I could do a better job myself, but the difference is, I'm not trying to. If I made a list, it would be very biased...
Tarja never sang metal, she's an opera singer who sang in a metal and although she's an immensely talented singer, she's not Floor Jansen who is just the perfect fit for NW
In the description of this video, it says the ranking is based on influence, popularity, and personal opinion, so yes, it is biased. If it was supposed to please the audience most, it would have Floor at #1. Tarja is at #1 because of influence, I assume.
Tarja not doing metal anymore? Sure she's been very experimental with her music since going solo but I would definately still classify it as metal, she has quite a few songs on the heavier side!
First Tarija and Floor, second Simone Simons , third Annecke Van Giersbergen first Amy Lee, fights Britney Slayes, sixths Sharon del Adel , sevenths Charlotte Wessels, eights Doro Pesch,
Okay. . . so this list is 100% bias, right? I don't understand the logic of this list from a vocal standpoint, OR from a frontwoman standpoint. First of all, we're missing Brittney Slayes from Unleash the Archers and Tatiana from Jinjer, who are both absolute beasts! Secondly, Tarja Turunen DOES belong on this, but above Floor Jansen? These ladies all do a fantastic job, but in terms of vocal prowess and versatility, Floor Jansen is easily above Tarja, Doro Pesch, and Angela Gossow.
What is your favorite Female Metal Singer?
❤Simone Simons love of my life❤
FLOOR NO 1 (THE QUEEN)
Simona Simsons
Tarja is so good, but my first place is for Doro Pesch.
Alissa White-Gluz and Angela Gossow
My top 3 is:
1. Floor Jansen
2. Tarja Turunen

@Carey Turner something special in the water over there.
Nightwish ♥️
Battle Beast , Jinjer , Amaranthe?
Están en sus casas
Karyn Crisis paved the way for those with the growls without using extras help
Those 3 are totally missing
Check out FRAYLE. Gwyn is amazing
It's a top 10 list and all that's missing is Jinjer.
Floor is the best female vocalusr
Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires, Masters of Ceremony...), Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber), Marta Gabriel (Crystal Viper)...

3 Doro Pesch
4 Angela Gossow
5 Floor Jansen
6 Christina Scabbia
7 Sharon Den Adel
8 Alissa White-Gluz
9 Anneke Van Giersbergen
10 Maria Brink
i Used to agree with you but i think either i gotten more used to floor or she just got better but i think shes 100% my nr 1 favo now
I totally forgot about Maria Brink - "In this Moment", was my band. Back in the day
I Remember seeing Doro Pesch at Monsters of Rock in 87. I am glad to see she is still rocking.
Happily suprised to see someone else besides myself who doesnt automatically put Floor on some overhyped pedistal but just like I would puts Tarja at #1!!
And no, I am not in any way shape or form saying that Floor is not good, she is fantastic! Easily in my top 5 atleast, but she is NOT the best frontwoman to ever walk the earth, it's not all about technical ability and versatility, there is so much more to the equation
Therion doesn't get enough love - The growls mixed with the strings and the women's voices is killer enough- but then you add in the riffs from their underrated guitar player and the steady drummer keeping everything together- and you have one of the top bands out there
I like Therion too, but they switch musicians (except for Christopher of course) all the time so, it's hard to pin point one ^^"
I successfully headbanged throughout this entire video. 🤟
Not in any particular order but:
1: Simone Simons (Epica)
2: Floor Jansen (After Forever/Nightwish)
3: Alissa Whit-Gluz (The Agonist/Arch Enemy)
4: Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy)
5: Tarja Turunen (Nightwish)
6: Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation)
7: Charlotte Wessels (Delain)
8: Madeleine Liljestam (Eleine)
9: Elize Ryd (Amaranthe)
10: Missi Avila (Your Chance to Die)
I would also recommend Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer. (Sorry, I just found this comment after a year.) 🤟
Juuust alissa🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I blame Metal for my taste in women. Strong, confident, badass women.
You left out the best one. The lead singer to Jinjer
Yeaahh, Tatiana Smhayluk🤟
Also Amaranthe, Delain, and Melissa Bonny 🤟
Agreed
Floor vs Tarja.... Floor has more magic tricks. She can do everything and do it very very well while Tarja is one dimension.
Lmao but Floor’s voice is also kinda boring. Tarja also has so much emotion in her voice that it just doesn’t compare on that level. Some people just prefer Tarja over Floor, and sometimes it’s hard to like Floor when all her stans are toxic asf to other singers.
@@mitzie8352 LMAO LOL different people different strokes... I SIMPLY LOVE FLOOR!!! She give life to the music. Tarja is too operatic and often try to impress by using too much of it... When something is too much, you will have a bad after taste. This is my experience listening to Tarja. I also have not heard Tarja growl before, I wonder how she will sound like? IMHO Floor is the best version of NW.
Floor is beyond another dimension.
There's is only 1 song I like with Tarja singing more than Floor, and that's Wishmaster. Otherwise Floor is by far not only my favorite Singer for Nightwish, but my absolute favorite Singer (and band ) of all time! Out of all the music I've ever listened to, her Voice is Stunning beyond Words, and she gives me chills, and makes me cry, where No other singer ever has, the band as a whole makes music that manages to make me more emotional then I've ever gotten over music. Floor Jansen is my Valkyrie Goddess!!
I agree with you. Tarja can only do one sound. Floor is much more versatile.
i Don't Agree with this List but Still Much better than Watch Mojo.
I think one question to consider is historically significant vocalists versus ones who are currently popular so I can understand the choices. If I made it on my personal preferences, Floor is no 1 for sure, add Tatiana and Masha from Arkona.
Where is Tatyana? :o
@Dudeman MGTOW making pisces ready for dinner hahaha
Alissa white-gluz the best 👍🏻👍🏻
The Goddess first and The Queen of Metal second place. Those with good taste in music will know who i'm talking about
And who says Opera has to have rules? I don't think so. Simone and Tarja should get title belts.
Floor is miles ahead of any of those ladies !!!!
hahahahahaha
@@MV19 where tf is the joke man 🤨
Cristina is
Your right .
It's objective I think Tarja was better
I love all of them...specially Floor Jansen
My Number One, the only!! Doro!!! 🤩
No Tatiana Shmaylyuk!!?? Best total tonal and range I ever heard, and her bandmates mix all those different genres in. Incredible.
What a GREAT List! All these women tottaly Rock and I've already had the pleasure of seeing some of them Live in concert!
Thank you so much \m/ \m/

4 singers in this list are from a small country in europe, the Netherlands 🤘🤘rock on!
Wath about Melody Cristea, Lead singer in the Band Liliac ?
After reading all the comments I think you’re list should have been the top 25 female singers in metal. There are a lot of great singers missing from your list
Floor! and its not even close!
That shart is obvisouly made by a Tarja's Fan and is clearly not objective
Here is mine
1 - Floor Jansen (the godess)

3 - Simon Simons
4 - Kaisa Jouhki (the elve)
5 - Alissa White-Gluz
6 - Tarja Turunen

I really don't think it's possible to be 100 percent objective with something like this. Every vocalist has their own unique style and a powerful voice is not necessarily objectively better than a softer one.
Floor Jansen. Number 1 by a long shot!!!
And where is Tatiana from Jinjer?
No Tatiana, and Floor #4? You have a good sense of humor.
Stay calm dude, maybe this person has a bit other taste like you.

The Simone Simons clip.... what song is that?
All hale the REAL TRUE Queen of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGER'S!!!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
No 1 Tatiana Jinjer
No 2 Tarja Ex Nightwish
No 3 Courtney Spiritbox
No 4 Angela Ex Arch Enemy
No 5 Alissa Arch Enemy
also do not forget the early days Fanny Circa 71-74 & Girlschool in the 80's
Floor is be far the best on this list. She can do everything Tarja can, and way more. The only one she probably couldnt do a better job than is the arch enemy screamo, which half the time I think is a mic setting, because it just sounds abnormal lol

Floor at #4 ? and Brittney Slayes not even on the list? at least you have a sense of humor.
All hale THE TRUE and ORIGINAL QUEEN of Symphonic Metal & of Nightwish!!!!, the ENCHANTING TARJA!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
If you don't have Tatiana Shmaylyuk on this list you really haven't been paying attention.
You can say that again...and really she is #1 it's not even close
Seriously Floor Jansen #4? She's #1 by a mile!!
Just saying it’s their opinion
The Irons maidens
Alberto Reyes yes. Kirsten Rosenberg is phenomenal!
Singing wise floor Jansen but the best metal singer by far goes to Tatiana from Jinjer. No one can best when it comes to clean vocals and the deep growls
@2 Ssj vocal Dude, you haven't heard enough Jinjer: JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) | Napalm Records
Tatjana has no opera voice and Floor has no good growls. Neither is perfect, but perfect for there kind of music.
@2 Ssj vocal Any singer sounds like shit in a fan video with bad audio. Watch a festival video with a good sound: JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) | Napalm Records
I had the luck to meet :Simone,Floor,Alissa, Anneke and Christina in person 🤘🤘
I'm not sure what's more laughable about this list. Floor only at #4 or Tarja at #1. The popularity of Nightwish now versus 2005 is night and day thanks to her introduction into the band back in 2013. And her versatility as a vocalist second to none. If you take the various styles and sounds of all the vocalists on this list, she has done it, growls included. Not all them can say the same.
Both Iris Goessens from Spoil Engine and Lena Scissorhands lead singer of Infected Rain.
SU-Metal of Baby Metal is more influential than all of these.
Really? She makes 'metal' for pubescent teenagers.
Where is Tatiana of jinjer
Epica 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Angela Gossow the metal vocals!
TARJA, will ALWAYS BE THE VERY BEST of all female singers!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍

What Floor doing in this top?
Uhhhhhhh Jinjer?
Tatiana shmailyuk es otro nivel
You've based your choice on influence/popularity, yet I see no Amy Lee in this list. You can't deny her influence on this genre. She was literally the one who opened the door for so many other female-fronted bands, and while Evanescence definitely wasn't the first band with a female vocalist, they were absolutely the first ones to make it popular. I won't argue whether Amy Lee is the best or not, but she surely is the most influential and popular in the metal/rock scene. This list is incomplete without her. I also don't think this list is based on vocal skills either. It's really random, really. I guess it's just based on your opinion. But honestly, Amy Lee should have been here. 8 people out of 10 who listen to female-fronted bands, have started with Evanescence. Evanescence are literally the ones who introduce most people to the genre. They are the "initiators".
1) Amy Lee (for the influence and the popularity and the huge impact she had in the metal/rock scene, for making it cool to be a woman in rock music and for drawing the huge attention of the public to the genre)
2) Tarja Turunen (for being a legend and one of the most respected women in metal for her class and her vocals, and for arguably being the most influential in the symphonic genre)
3) Floor Jansen (for being the most well-rounded and technically proficient vocalist in metal, and for being an absolute BEAST on stage. She is what comes to mind when you think of a female in metal)
4) Simone Simons (again, beautiful vocals and being one of the most impactful women in one of the most impactful bands in the symphonic genre)
5) Sharon Den Adel (the angel of metal, the most soothing, beautiful, faerie-like voice and the front-woman in one of the most successful female-fronted bands)
6) Tatiana Shmayluk (the *GROWL* god damn it!)
The rest can be of any order you like. But these ones, should be on the top. And especially Amy Lee.
Even when some of us started with After Forever and Nightwish many others did it with Evanescence, so yes Amy should have made it to the list, Floor and Tarja are already legendary metal female voices in the metal scene too.
Sharon and amy are angels
Don’t get me wrong I love Amy Lee but she is NOT better than Tarja vocally
I think Zora from Blackbriar deserves a spot on this list too with her beautiful haunting vocals. Tho Blackbriar isn't that popular yet so I know why she isn't on these kind of lists. It's a shame
I think probably Amy Lee is not on the list because Evanescence is not considered metal? I remember an interview with Simone Simons (from the Canadian documentary "Soaring Highs and Brutal Lows: The Voices of Women in Heavy Metal") where mentioned Evanescence as one of her "non-metal" influence. She also doesn't consider Within Temptation to be metal, btw.
Liv Kristine ;-;?
The list should be Angela 1. Alissia 2. Doro 3. All the rest don't have the vocals for metal. What they have is metal music in the background but not in their vocals.
Tatiana Shmayluk? Because she screams, too. (Also, sorry - I just found this comment after a year.) Edit: check out the song "Pisces" if you want to see what I mean. 🤟
Floor on numbre 4 ?? I think Floor is the best in this list .
great list, but my #1 is Su-Metal
may she rule forever!
jinger?theatre of tragedy?
Infected rain & Lena Cataraga?
Great list overall, and I love Tarja, she first got me into metal (even though she's not doing metal anymore, and was not into metal before ske was asked to join Nightwish)…
But you can't have this list without Tatyana and Otep… Their talent is just too remarkable to overlook.
Honestly, this list looks like WatchMojo or some similar channel made a "good" list (good compared to their usual stuff, not good on it's own) that they put enough work into to look up the most popular metal bands ever that have a female singer, and then which singers of which bands "should be" in which order to please the audience most (Tarja over Floor over Anette; Angela over Alissa) and which singers should not be on the list (Anette, Elize, etc)… Not saying I could do a better job myself, but the difference is, I'm not trying to. If I made a list, it would be very biased...
Agreed... Even though floor jansen is my favorite female singer.. I still prefer tarja's version in many of there songs... Thats how good tarja was..
Tarja never sang metal, she's an opera singer who sang in a metal and although she's an immensely talented singer, she's not Floor Jansen who is just the perfect fit for NW
In the description of this video, it says the ranking is based on influence, popularity, and personal opinion, so yes, it is biased.

Tarja not doing metal anymore? Sure she's been very experimental with her music since going solo but I would definately still classify it as metal, she has quite a few songs on the heavier side!
Tatiana from Jinjer is number 1 lol
Love all metal Ladies but struggle with most of the operatic vocals!
We need categories.
Operatic versus Growlers seems illogical to me is all!
🤓😎😈🤘
Muy bueno 🤘
Infected Rain, Jinjer, Code Orange...
FLOOR ..................CASE CLOSED
First Tarija and Floor, second Simone Simons , third Annecke Van Giersbergen first Amy Lee, fights Britney Slayes, sixths Sharon del Adel , sevenths Charlotte Wessels, eights Doro Pesch,
Alissa ♥️
BUENA IDEA....PERO ES UN POCO ANACRONICO, EL VIDEO DE TARJA ES DE CUANDO ESTABA EN NIGHTWISH.
Alex Trooper, obviamente. Eres de los míos. Bravo!
Tatyana Shmailyuk??
Top 3, no order: elyze ryd, tarja turunen, sharon van den adel
I respect that and you must also like Manuella Kramer then...
Floor is #1. Honorable mention: Saiki Atsumi (Band-Maid)
Hot take, Alissa > Angela, Floor > Tarja
Best songs of Tarja for You people?
Nemo, the rest is better done by Floor.
Okay. . . so this list is 100% bias, right? I don't understand the logic of this list from a vocal standpoint, OR from a frontwoman standpoint. First of all, we're missing Brittney Slayes from Unleash the Archers and Tatiana from Jinjer, who are both absolute beasts! Secondly, Tarja Turunen DOES belong on this, but above Floor Jansen? These ladies all do a fantastic job, but in terms of vocal prowess and versatility, Floor Jansen is easily above Tarja, Doro Pesch, and Angela Gossow.
