I would have gone with Tarja, if it weren't for the recent falling-out between her and the band... I don't really have an opinion between the others.

I like Evanesence. And Amy seems okay, but I don't know most of the others. I don't develope crushes on women I don't know anyways. I prefer a real girl and voted for that.

Still going: they (possibly just her and Budgie at this late stage) did a concert with a big string section somewhere in London last year (I think the same place VDGG played their comeback show). It's out as a DVD now.

I always rather liked Katherine Blake (out of the Medieval Baebes and Miranda Sex Garden) and Alison Shaw (out of The Cranes) myself.

I like Evanescence, but other that than I know nothing of Gothic music, so I'll have to choose Amy Lee. They did dedicate the album to Jesus though, which puts me off a little.

I voted for Tarja being a huge Nightwish fan and all. Most of the ones listed are hotties though and Simone should definitely be on that list.

It's called Dreamshow, though it seems it's credited to Siouxsie, rather than Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Sin City's a good album: sort of a poppier Nine Inch nails, but it does that a lot better than Snake River Conspiracy. I wasn't as taken with 120 Days Of Genitorture, though.

Where do you live? I'm in Tampa, so of course I'm a fan. Actually, I've gotten drunk with the band before and Gen and Amber are pretty nice about letting people touch their tits. :D

Tarja definitely. But I love Nightwish, so I'm bound to be a little biased.

I think Amy Lee is great but I really don't want to give Evanescence much credit, and she has to be held accountable for the songs written by Evanascence, even if she's a great singer.

So I'd go for the singer of Epica, or Christina Scabbia (even though I think Lacuna Coil's music is pretty over-ratted).

Curve were never even remotely goth: Dean Gracia plays bass on Tom Petty and Eurythmics albums and was in a shitty pop funk band with a peroxide blonde Toni Halliday before Curve was formed. If that makes them goths, then I'm Edgar Allen Poe.

Tori does qualify as a hot, Goth goddess.

But she still isn't in the same league re Gothness as Siouxsie Sioux. Siouxsie is the Queen of Goth.

I'm not 'precious' about a definition as broad as 'goth'.... sure, I don't consider Curve to be Traditional Goth.... like Manuskript, Emma Conquest, The Horatii, Suspiria (even The Merrythoughts).... or Fetish Goth, like Athamay... or Uber, like VNV Nation, Covenant, Dementia simplex... or Darkwave, like Midnight Configuration... or even Industrial Goth, like Squid, Angelwhore, Velvet Acid Christ...


But... you look at their 'look', circa Horrorhead, Split Into Fractions, Fait Accompli, etc... and they definitely had a 'goth' influence on their particular brand of electronic shoegazer. They were 'goth', the same way Mazzy Star were 'goth'.

I'm not a big fan of most of those 'female fronted' bands named in the poll. I'm not that fond of high pitched female vocals.
These ladies however have my blessing :p

-Marcela Bovia from Elfonia, Stream of Passion and the last Ayreon album. Technically she's a prog singer and nog a gothic singer :p
http://www.metalkuins.com/entrevistas/d_marcela01.jpg

-Anneke van Giersbergen from The Gathering
Really impressive voice imo
http://strefa.rockmetal.art.pl/ankieta/anneke-van-giersbergen.jpg

Saving the best for last:
-Angela Gossow from death metal band Arch Enemy
Now she has a voice most male metal singers can't even compete with.
