      Most of them use both autotune and melodyne in records.
      But you know... This is like guitar effects. If you bad - even the best effects don't turn you to Steve Vai. More like Vteve Sai...
      Same with autotune or melodyne - if you can't sing... You still can't.
      Recording vocals is super hard, so autotune and other tools save money and time.

      I have been seeing Amy since 2003, even seeing her at Le Zénith while I was in college where their live album Anywhere but Home was recorded which was one of the best experiences of my life. The Synthesis tour was striking too. One of the most underrated aspects of Amy Lee is her killer stage presence. She is always gracious and courteous to bands she tours with (even if she is more popular than the headliner) and often brings opening bands' lead singers back out like Papa Roach to duet with her on songs like Bring Me to Life or sings Freak on a Leash with Korn at the end of the concert which is really neat. She is incredibly dynamic and versatile. Even if Amy is having a hard time vocally like at the end of a long stretch of a tour (she has a huge international fan base and a comparably large American one compared to others on this list and she is HUMAN after all and has hard days like ALL OF US) she always keeps her mic ON unabashedly and she keeps the fist-pumping energy high on songs like Going Under and Tourniquet or starts vulnerable on the piano and then brings in explosive guitars on songs like Call Me When You're Sober or Lithium, but also gets ALL the phones waving in the air while she seranades listeners on songs like My Immortal, Far from Heaven, or if you are lucky to see it live, songs like Hello. No one can go from headbanging to piano playing like Amy can. She can drastically adapt to circumstances and tours like when her gear got destroyed and she played a fully acoustic show in Russia, just her and the piano - I didn't see it in person but it was sublime! Her interpretational skills of songs are AMAZING too like her live cover of Korn's Thoughtless. Evanescence is such an amazing post-genre band that only Evanescence could tour with Muse, WagakkiBand, Seether, Korn, Halestorm, WT, AND Lindsey Stirling seamlessly. Evanescence has the open door (pun intended) for so many people into rock and metal that otherwise never would have listened to those genres. They certainly were for me.

    Thank you so much for helping me remember why I loved female metal singers during my teenage years. It's been a while (several years, actually, since i'm 35 now) since the last time I heard any of these songs, but the emotions they transmit when singing made me want to listen to them all again. These are TRUE artists!

      It’s because her screams are heavily edited to sound the way they do and don’t sound the same as the recordings live. No don’t take this as I’m saying she isn’t a good vocalist and/or can’t scream well, but the list is trying to show people who sound identical to recording despite being live and she doesn’t quite hit the bare there unfortunately. I also think it’s possible they didn’t throw her on here cuz she’s from a Metalcore band or Djent Band and this seemed like an exclusively non-core metal list so nothing that could be considered new school metal made the list also, because outside of Jinjer, Spiritbox would have also been a perfect pic but they are nowhere to be found.

    I've seen Evanescence, OTEP, Kittie, Angelspit, and Jinjer live. All just as good if not better live.
    Tatiana and Roman sweating on me cause I was squashed against the stage at a dive bar in Philly. It was the greatest. She's like 5'1" and 101.3 pounds. Her weight is like a low grade fever. Her voice is pure power including her gutterals.
    I've also seen dozens of recordings of each these bands/artists live concerts or songs: Spiritbox, Obscure Sphinx, King Woman, Oathbreaker, Infected Rain, Blind Ivy, Som Pluijmers and Frantic Amber. All crush it.

      Saw Amy Lee live and could never go back to listening to the albums. It's not even remotely comparable. These people's talents exceed what is capable of fitting into a CD mix.

    Didn't thought i would ever see a video from 2021 with less than 720p that is either way enriching.

    Yup they are definitely serious vocalists, way above mediocre! I love how more classically trained singers are finding their place in metal music.

    I don't see any problem. These Ladies nailed it every time.

    Female or male heavy metal singers are truly the best vocalists on the planet. How much proof do we need? This is a great video with some of the greatest female singers on the planet. Love you Floor.

    Hahaha, I expected some fun video showing fails in reality😆 but what it shows is even better! All those ladies are perfect singers no matter if it is in a studio captured or life on stage. Nice clip btw 👍
