I think Alison Moyet's voice is under rated. Its wonderful.
Always loved Colin Verncombe's voice too.
Yep, agree with many of you, Cathal Cougan.
Mr Cope (though not at present, cough).
Oh and the girly in All About Eve. Lovely voice.

Mel C is "Sporty Spice" right? I totally agree, she had 95% of the talent in that band.
My favorite vocalist bar-none is: TOM JONES!
For pure pop stylings -- I also swear by Micky Dolenz (though Mike is the Monkee I am probably most like myself, my greatest fear is that I might really be a Peter, and I only *dream* that I could aspire to the coolness of Micky!!! I've not much use for David Jones I'm afraid.)
John Garner & Rob Halford are as good as RAWK singing gets. And I'll take Ian Gillan over Percy Plant in the "technically awesome soul-less robot shrieker" category.
Favorite chick singer is probably Grace Slick. And lately I am in awe of Yoko Ono as well, though she's in a class all by herself! (It's almost not fair to call it "singing", which I don't mean as an insult at all. She's Kerry King without the guitar!)
Not much for subtlety am I? I'm really more into the instrumental bits, so I guess I gravitate to singers whose voices have an overwhelming "instrumental presence"!

I don't actually like many women vocalists, but these are some the the very few I rate:
Ella Fitzgerald
Judie Tzuke
Karen Carpenter
Natasha Atlas
Sandy Denny
Lulu
And of the blokes, these few immediately spring to mind though I bet I've forgotten some obvious ones:
Paul Rodgers
Marvin Gaye
Michael Jackson (when he was pre-pubescent)
Ian Gillan
Tom Jones
Roger Daltrey
Seal
Steve Perry
I'm also unfeasibly fond of:
Nick Drake
John Martyn
Neil Young
Though none of them what you'd call 'great' voices.

He can sing in tune - agreed - but the tonal effect of his voice is too syrupy and sweet for me to be able to cope with
so yes, he is one of my worst
