Connie Mitchell
This lady is easily the best female pop/rock vocalist since Ann Wilson. But in a music industry filled with clueless howlers and drug-addled skanks, Miss Connie doesn't fit in so easily. Knowing how to sing clearly doesn't help.
I've been a huge fan of hers since Primary, but she's never quite had a vehicle worthy of her talents. Primary had some great tunes, but a little too much murky genre-mashing overall. These days she's in Sneaky Sound System, a pretty cool electro/dance/rock outfit, but who would be a far lesser entity without Mitchell's pipes.
God knows what she's doing in the same universe as bores like Aguilera, Beyonce and company. Those girls have great voices, but they don't seem to understand that singing needs to be doing more than tiresome eight-octave, scale-climbing wailing.

Outstanding. You go girl.
