Unique sound? You could say that Ashlee has a unique sound because her voice is raspier than other female singers. I honestly like Britney's voice. I like how she's used her limited range. That's just me. I think Gwen sounds ridiculous on nearly every peformance of stuff from her solo album and bad on half of the actual album tracks (the vocals on Crash, for example, are horrendous). A lot of the Old ND stuff was better. Shirley Manson (I assume that's who you meant) usually sounds great live from the performances I've seen. I don't think the TV part has much to do with it.
Often, the whole can/can't sing thing doesn't make sense because it really depends on the singer and their style. Is Nelly Furtado a bad singer cause her voice is definitely SUUUUUUUUUPER nasal but her songs still work. What about Enya? Michelle from DC has an odd voice too. I don't mean to pick out your posts you just happen to say stuff that I think about. I promise it's not personal.
