Im' Sorry you don't have your email on or I would have emailed. Did i Misunderstand your question about conservatives?  Did you mean un-stereotypical in the way of conservatives values?  I thought you meant that conservatives like to stereotype people and is there any of them that don't.  Does that make sense?  So I'm unsure what you meant, but when reading other answers they are telling you what their conservative views are or are not.  so I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, I get easily defensive when people start talking crap about each other in their initial question.  \n\nAs to this question?  Higher a voice teacher.  I love singing as well, but I don't have the voice for it so I just do it alone in my home or car, usually while dancing.  :)  Good luck

thats an absolute NO....sure she has one maybe two songs that are catchy...but honestly thats probably not really hear...they do a lot of things to alter her voice in the studio.  \n\nPeople need to stop comparing her voice with Gwen Stefani, they dont sound anything alike!!   Because Gwen CAN sing.

HarveyBonnie Raitt, Ani DiFranco and India Arie.\n;-)

Little bit lighter, but try Flyleaf. They're great and the female vocalist even breaks out a scream sometimes. Pretty awesome.

ahhh.... no.... sorry. I don't really like her voice. For some reason I find her very nassal, and sometimes her voice goes right up my backbone. BUT, everyone has their different tastes and opinions! There's nothing wrong with liking her. "Different strokes for different folks!"

Minnie Riperton. Her command of the whistle register was even more impressive than Mariah Carey's. Mariah cites Minnie as one of her influences. Most people don't know because her only song they know is Lovin' You. Listen to "here we go" and "inside my love" as well as others.\n\nAlso, unlike most singers in that range, she was able to pronounce (ennunciate) words at as high as two octaves above the staff. Most singers cannot form words when they get that high.

I'm not very good on history of music, but back in the middle ages plainsong was the norm. Everybody sang the same tune. Then towards the end of the 12th choirs started having one group sing an octave higher. Somebody had the idea of having the two groups cross over musically. Composers began to realise that more interesting effects could be achieved by having different layers of music.

A woman's voice can drive me crazy! I love them especially when they have a slight cold and their voice is a little hoarse...MAN!

I know it sounds kinda cheesy but try Enya.  She uses her voice as an instrument, as well as a way to vocalize her lyrics.  She does lots of layering, which makes her voice sound like a instrument, which is a lot more soothing.

Demonic violin! Lol.  I agree that Pagannini sounds pretty demonic, I would add to that Bach's Concertos for two Violins.  \n\nIf you want to go with the obvious and away from Classical you have to add "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels band.

The closest version I've heard of is Viola.  Violanda does sound very nice though!
