Does "The Singing Vacuum Cleaner" from The Fifth Element count? Despite the rather ludicrous costume given the actress, the singer behind that piece is actually quite good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inva_Mula

"The Singing Vacuum Cleaner"? That's Diva Plavalaguna for you. Show some respect! Green?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or Captain Beefheart

Devin Townsend? Floor Jansen?

Honestly, you could make an entire list of greatest singers just by looking at whoever worked with Ayreon. That project introduced me to SO many great singers and bands.

I don't know much about the subject, but take Mariah Carey (not trying to pick on the girls, honest), but she can make a really high pitch sound, so does that count? Or does she have to be able to actually _sing_ at that note for it to count?

It’s called a whistle note, and yes it counts. It’s a lot harder than singing in the standard range.
