My 10 Ten Hot Women Singers that Rock!

Number 10

Simone Simmons – Dutch born and Lead singer for the band Epica this fiery redhead has one of the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. From classical highs to a single note that ring beauty in your ear, this woman has it all. The new CD “Design Your Universe” shows you exactly why.







Number 9

Annette Olzen – After taking over the lead position in Nightwish, Annette has established herself as a woman with one hell of a powerful voice. Swedish born and singing since she was 8 years of age, on songs like “Amaranth” from Dark Passion Play, you can tell right away she is the real deal. Beautiful eyes and voice, what else can you ask for in a woman who can rock.



Number 8

Sharon del Adel – While most people know her from their popular release of “what have you done now” from the CD “the heart of everything” this 35 year old singer of Within Temptation has been at it since she was 13. To really appreciate her range, check out songs like “Ice Queen” and “Frozen.” Also, in their recent Live DVD she looks absolutely stunning as she enters the stage.

Number 7

Christina Scabbia – This 37 year old Italy born singer of Lucuna Coil is a true vision on stage. With a voice that can go from sultry to powerful in a moment, you can’t deny she is a forced to be reckoned with in the metal world. Check her out on songs like “Heaven’s a Lie” and “Spellbound” you won’t be disappointed.




Number 6


Tarja Turunen – This former front woman of Nightwish truly has the voice of an angle. On the CD “Once” with her former band, songs like Nemo and Wish I had an Angle show what great range she has. Currently working on he own her new CD continues to prove that she belongs among the ranks of the women with great voices.


Number 5


Francine Boucher - All I can say is WOW! A beautiful woman with a powerful voice. This singer and songwriter from the South Carolina “Echoes of Eternity” formed in 2006. Their latest offering “As Shadows Burn” is a fast pace blast of music and melodic singing. You can tell Francine is no newbie on songs like “Twilight Fires” and “Ten of Swords.” Check out their vids and music, it’s great stuff and watching her is not hard on the eyes at all.




Number 4

Maria Brink – Lead for the band “In This Moment” her mix of melodic metalcore and brutal vocals makes her a top pick on my list. Although they have only been around since 2005. She has established herself in the industry as one of the top female performers. Their first CD “Beautiful Tragedy” got them recognized and their latest CD “The Dream” continues to show why she is just awesome. I also happen to love the cover they did of Blondie’s “Call Me.”





Number 3



Liv Kristine – Another true beauty in the music industry, we are all fortunate to have her here. Lead for the band “Leaves Eyes,” Liv has been around for a while and is involved in many other endeavors (too many to list here). At age 33 she has done a bit of everything, but with her voice it’s no wonder. From solo to guest appearances her voice continues to impress every ear it fall on. Along with her stunning beauty it’s no wonder she is at the top of my list. Check out the new CD “Njord” and watch their vid for the single “My Destiny,” you won’t be disappointed.



Number 2

Alissa White-Gluz – Voted Revolver’s hottest woman in July of 2007. Alissa is a major force in the metalcore scene. This front woman from the Canadian band “The Agonist” leaves nothing on the table when she steps in front of the microphone. She can carry a note or knock you on your ass. The new CD “Lullabies for a Dormant Mind” will just blow you away. Also chack out the vid “Thank You, Pain” because this breath taking beauty delivers every time.






Number 1



Lita Ford – Yep, this is my top woman. For me, she is the one who started it all. There she was a great looking woman playing guitar as I watched the video “Kiss Me Deadly” on MTV. Screaming vocals attached to one hell of a sexy woman. As a young man I thought she was awesome. Now at age 51 she is still out kicking ass on the road in support of the new CD “Crave.” But it’s songs and video like “Close my Eyes Forever” with Ozzy that will stick in my memory and Oh! those Album covers. I’ve always felt she helped pave the way for other woman in the rock/metal scene and it’s why she gets my top honor.

Ok, that’s it. I know some people will have different opinions about who should be on the list or who shouldn’t, but this is MY list and these are the artist that I like not you. Sure there are other women you could place in the list. Maybe some of you readers like Amy Lee or Doro Pesch and those are great choices. My list is not saying one is better than the other; they are all great to me. This list to me is just the tip of the iceberg of the enormous talent out in the industry these days and I love every bit of it. So if your favorite woman did not make my list I’m sorry it’s not that she is not good but I just happen to enjoy these 10 more. Hope you enjoy my choices and I also hope you check out all of their music.
