my ten fave singers redux

It's been almost fourteen years since I posted my list of my ten fave singers. [Please follow that link to read the explanation for how I decide who makes the list.] In that time, I've been exposed to a lot of new voices, my tastes have morphed, etc. So, time to introduce some new names [and, alas, demote/lose a few, but I'm sure they'll survive]:

1. Noddy Holder
2. Catherine Anne Davies
3. Tortoise Matsumoto
4. Pete Fijalkowski
5. Gerry Marsden
6. Kay Hanley
7. Alma Cogan
8. Misuzu Takahashi
9. Tony Bennett
10. Zooey Deschanel

And an honourable mention for a recent discovery, Cliff Bennett!
