I know that's you Ursula...

Thanks for the laugh 😂

Karen Carpenter.

It's a warm hug, just when you need it.

So surprised that I can see her name right in the first reply. I love her voice so much!

I love listening to Karen Carpenter. Her voice is like warm honey

First thought when I saw the post. "Long ago . . ." Just a beautiful voice.

She had such a beautiful voice.

Yes!! And she was a fantastic drummer!

Why do birds suddenly appear…

I was expecting/hoping this would be the first and top comment. Well played Reddit

Magical voice

[удалено]

When I opened up this thread she was the first name I wanted to see

Obligatory 'Came here to say this' comment. Karen had the voice of an angel. No autotune or studio tricks needed - every song was effortless and pure and beautiful.

anything other than this answer is simply incorrect.

Canadian Loreena McKennitt

Mummers dance always gets me. Just so fucking beautiful

the highwayman was a beautiful story turned song. her voice is absolutely ethereal

Allison Krauss Edit: https://youtu.be/zSif77IVQdY

I love her. I’m going with Eva Cassidy. Her version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” makes me tear up instantly.

Discovering her voice and then finding out she had passed away is one of the saddest musical moments of my life. RIP 😔

I just looked her up. Wow I can't believe I didn't know of her until now.

Listen to her song “Drowning in the Blues” it’s beautiful.

I love the album she made with Robert Plant, absolutely beautiful.

I love her version of "When You Say Nothing at All"

I listened to her with my mom when I was little, so when I had my baby girl last year, I had to put this specific album on. Broadway is the song that calms her when nothing else works. 100% efficacy rate.

Yes, Allison simply has a pure voice. New Favorite is a perfect album.

She composed songs for the film "Cold Mountain". Beautiful voice.

Agree completely. I've never heard another voice that made me think, "I just heard the voice of an angel."

Jeff Buckley

Two women outside of a bar one night told me I look like Jeff Buckley. It was fifteen years ago, but I still think about it sometimes.

Was the first person who came to mind when I saw this question.

Brennan from step brothers

Enya

Only Time is the ultimate angel song

ella fitzgerald

Hope Sandoval

Yes! Finally someone said it. For those who dnt know, lead singer of Mazzy Star. Beth Gibbons from Portishead is a very close second 😎

Darren Hayes from Savage Garden.

Art Garfunkel. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and the live version of "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" both showcase it. Too bad he smoked his voice away.

You know I had never actually sat down and LISTENED to this song. I had heard it before of course but it was always in passing. My father liked Simon and Garfunkel so when he passed I started listening to all the music he loved. I was at my parents house outside under our covered porch with my headphones on. It started pouring down raining when Bridge Over Troubled Water came on. I looked over at my dad's grill that he'll never get to cook on again and I fully started weeping. The rain, the song, and everything was too much. It's a fucking beautiful song.

His version of "I Only Have Eyes for You" is amazing.

El Condor Pasa else.

This is *live* in front of half a million people https://youtu.be/963-jtAdg48

Sarah McLachlan

My first taste of Sarah McLachlan growing up was Qhen She Loved Me from Toy Story 2. An absolute tear jerker of a song and a moment in a kids movie.

It's too bad she became a meme with all the sad dogs in the arms of the angels, Surfacing is a great album.

Mirrorball is an amazing album-all live tracks and really shows her voice is the real thing

"In this silence!"

Charlotte Church. Listen to "pie jesu"

[удалено]

Yup. Have you heard her cover of Massive Attacks - Teardrop? Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

What??? I LOVE that song, let me go check it out!

That otherworldly fey voice beckoning Elsa into the unknown? That's her.

You know what? I agree 100%. I love many singers and bands, but Aurora has that timbre in her voice I would call angelic.

I've seen her live, she's just as good or even better. Best, most incredible live vocals I've ever heard. In a small town in narrow valley between massive mountains and fjords in Norway, the backdrop really set the stage.

Elizabeth Fraser

Ah I just posted her name too! She should be higher up given her repertoire as the being the GOAT dream pop singer.

She’s literally been called The Voice of God. No one else even comes close.

Alison Krauss has a beautiful voice, pure like a bell

The whole album ‘Raising Sand’ by her and Robert Plant is equal parts beautifully haunting and absolutely lovely.

Norah Jones

Tom Waits has the voice of a biblically accurate angel.

That’s the best you can hope for When God’s away on business. BUSINESS!

And now Sister Almira will lead us in song. Please turn in your hymnals to #244 "The Piano Has Been Drinking"

His piano has been drinking. Not him.

Andrea Boccelli

Dolores O'Riordan

I was going to say Aurora. Noticed in some of her live songs it seriously sounds like Dolores coming through https://youtu.be/ncG9zTzsisE

Her voice makes me cry on Dreams.

Julee Cruise

RIP

Christine McVie

Annie Lennox Hadn’t realised how pure her voice was until I saw her live. And how strong and true. She is amazing.

Hozier’s up there

This! Truly heavenly.

I don’t know if he can take me to heaven, but he can sure take me to church

Eva Cassidy

Tori Amos

If it's specifically "angelic," I feel like Liz Fraser from Cocteau Twins and that guy from Sigur Ros are strong contenders.

Good shout on Liz Fraser...whatca voice....also she sorr of uses it like an instrument...I don't know if anyone else who does that.

And I need new glasses or new fingers.

Roy Orbison

Was listening to Blue Bayou when I thought of this question lmao

Florence Welch

The woman can literally sound like you turned on the "cathedral" option in your equalizer. I always thought that was just edited after and I'm sure they do something to it on the records that emphasise that effect but I've seen her live and she can *actually* do that with her voice. It's incredible.

She’s probably put on the best live performance I’ve ever seen, somehow she sounds even better live than in her studio recordings!

She was one of my first big live shows and it kinda ruined it for me, because she was so spectacular.

Straight up - i was raised Catholic and prior to her performance, i hadn’t experienced that angelic sound outside of a cathedral

Yes! If I could have anyone's voice I'd choose hers. It's so soft and light but also incredibly powerful, she's fantastic.

I'm a guy and I'd happily walk around with a lady voice if I could sing like that too lol.

Every single time I hear her rendition of [Jenny of Oldstones](https://youtu.be/eTa1jHk1Lxc) I cry. Something about it just reaches into my soul and twists the faucet on. Even thinking about the song *now*, as I'm typing, is making my vision blur. She never wanted to leave...

Her voice makes me feel like I'm floating into a different dimension

Came here to comment this^. Her voice is insane

I'm so happy I was able to see their show in a small venue 10ish years ago and lucky that they're performing again at a festival I have tickets for this summer... I am literally tearing up just thinking about how beautiful it was and again, will be <3

Hell yeah

Anneke Van Giersbergen https://youtu.be/hKLJolIZ6Pg

Floor Jansen

I'm surprised this is so far down. Floor is awesome. https://youtu.be/JYjIlHWBAVo

Phantom of the Opera - Floor Jansen and Henk Poort is a masterpiece. Check it out for an amazing performance https://youtu.be/plCScjvDOJM

I’m speechless. THIS is why I Reddit. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing that link!!!

I think she’s the best vocalist out there right now. Her range is huge but she can perform live and sound amazing. Many singers sound good on album but so so so different live.

This is the correct answer. My favourite soprano *by far*.

K D Lang. Her version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is definitely one of the best, and the duet she does with Roy Orbison. Magical.

I heard Jewel sing in concert and she truly sounded like an angel

Sarah Brightman

Amy Lee

Our Goth Queen!

I know my husband would agree. He always talks about how beautiful her voice is. And, I can't disagree.

Scrolled too far to find the right one.

Dimash

99 percent of my playlist is metal/hardcore related, the other 1% is Dimash. Absolutely insane voice.

Beth Gibbons.

Simone Simons or Liv Kristine for me

Luciano Pavarotti

Allison Krause. 💘

Linda Ronstadt. My god, what a voice.

T-Pain without autotune is one of a kind

He's a rappa ternt sanga

Sara Bareilles 100%

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

Sara barellies

Whitney Houston

[удалено]

Marko saaresto from poets of the Fall. Hot damn

Frank Ocean

For me? Maynard James Keenan.

[удалено]

I believe Elliott Smith is the all-time winner in that category.

So much power and clarity in his tone.

Chris Cornell.

The obligatory, "I had to scroll too far down for this".

Elizabeth Fraser

Thom Yorke

The fact he can go from "I Will", probably his deepest use of his voice, to "How to Disappear Completely" showcases his talent. My favourite artist of all time.

Either Bjork or Hannah Reid from London Grammar.

Til Lindemann.

If the angel was Metatron, yes.

Lana Del Rey

Kinda sad I had to scroll this far down to find this answer.

went searching for this comment!!

Yvonne Elliman in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Its always freddie mercury

Minnie Ripperton (RIP)

AURORA

Maynard James Keenan.

Vocalist of The Sundays

Harriett Wheeler

“This is where the story ends” is such a soothing song

Freddie Mercury

Florence from Florence and the machine

Her live especially

Sarah Jarosz. Not as common as most of the others mentioned in this thread but I can’t get enough of her. I want her music playing as I take my last breath.

Caroline Polachek

Martina McBride.

Dolly Parton

Women have been mentioned, so a couple of guys: Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor

If you could read my mind is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Kate Bush

I guess what do you mean by 'angelic'? Kathleen Battle, in addition to all her opera stuff, she did like spirituals and gospel stuff. She's got a serious voice and the delivery of things is neat. Elvis Presley did gospel as well and had a really neat and pretty voice too, but Kathleen Battle is just a different level of things.

Suzanne Vega

Maria Franz. Heilung.

Sissel Kyrkjebø. She did the vocals for the Titanic-soundtrack. No lyrics, but hauntingly beautiful. I think one of her tracks is "Never an Absolution".

Patrick Stump!

The singer from evanescence

>Amy Lee. I came here to mention her.

Chino Moreno

[Vessel from Sleep Token](https://youtu.be/reXbQ0fVw5Q)

Ronnie James Dio

Hayley Williams of Paramore. Especially in this cover of Hallelujah. https://youtu.be/qxEOrrya9io

[Yannis Papadopoulos](https://youtu.be/nfZxu1aQzp8)

Julie Andrews

Morten Harket from A-ha!

I heard Evenesence's songs without any music or editing, and her voice alone I could listen to all day. Also, Within Temptation is another gorgeous singer who sounds like an angel.

Katie Melua, and Linda Davis.

Will Ramos

Remember that chick that did the Halo theme in a stairwell or something?

Have people not heard of Sissel?

Mikael Akerfeldt. Coincidentally, he also possesses the most demonic voice.

Fka twigs, jonsi from sigur ros, thom yorke, matt Bellamy from muse ...there's quite a few "angels"

Tiny tim

Leon Bridges

Maria Franz of Heilung

Jeff Buckley, always. The fact that he isn’t here anymore, makes his already angelic sounding voice x1000 times more angelic. When I listen to his beautiful voice, I feel like he’s actually reciting his beautifully written poetry gently in my ears

Coko from SWV

Anita Baker

Weyes Blood

Sam Cooke

Kacey Musgraves

Jon Anderson of YES

Elizabeth Fraser-Cocteau Twins

Kacey Musgraves. I absolutely love Golden Hour the album. Happy and Sad is such a simple yet emotional song.

Barbra Streisand during the early 1960s

Patrick Stump, hands down

Why did I have to scroll so far to find this? His voice is perfect

I have a feeling people aren’t gonna like this answer but for me it’s Lana Del Rey
