Normally these lists are SO off base, but this one isn't bad! When you were talking about the whistle register early on in the segment about Ariana Grande, my mind immediately went to Minnie Ripperton. And lo and behold, you did do a Minnie segment! (Trivia: Minnie's daughter is Maya Rudolph) I'm glad you got Kate Bush too. Wasn't she about 16 when she did Wuthering Heights?
As for who was left out, there's so many: Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle come to mind. Any of the great soul/R&B ladies - Etta James (sometimes she would lower the mic to waist height just to show how powerful her voice was, she didn't even need to hold it up, Chaka Kahn. Ann Wilson from Heart is a hella singer. Linda Ronstandt could do literally anything in her time. Cyndi Lauper can run around some octaves.

NONE of these songs are difficult to sing for a good, femal vocalist. I am not sure why ANY of them are included in this list. Perhaps you should ask good, trained musicians and songers to rank the songs that are difficult to sing!
Celine Dion sang songs within her most powerful range, which is what all good singers do! ALL of these singers sang songs that fit within their best capabilities. It is absurd to think that someone is a superior singer simply because she chose to sing songs within her own power range. :/
I have all of Toni Braxton's range plus a typical second soprano range. NONE of her songs are difficult to sing for me.
Kate Bush is a mediocre singer at best. NONE of her songs are difficult to sing!

Jane Zhang covering the piece The Diva Dance from the movie 5th Element. In the movie, the vocals are modified because an alien race is singing it. The modification was believed to be impossible for a human to duplicate, but Jane Zhang does an unbelievable attempt. Truly a difficult piece for a female singer. Is this a proper song? perhaps not, but as in the movie, the singer has a solo part in the orchestral piece.

Amy Lee from Evanescence. her music over the years still captivates me to this day and Speak To Me was one of her best! and if you heard her hitting those high notes in her songs like My Last Breath, The Last Song I'm Wasting on You, & Hi-Lo (listen to SYNTHESIS for this one, & Your Star. just to name a few from different albums i can't say they all had the whistling note, but in these songs u feel it!

So many women around the world that sing so well or better than these and you only find 98% of american, plus one canadian and one british to show us here. What credibility this top 20 has? None! In fact, the people who made this sh, is ignorant. They know nothing about other countries and other cultures and just want to shove this kind of music and singers down our throats.

Actually I think the aria from Abduction from the Seraglio (act 2) for Kostanze by Mozart is wayyyy more difficult than any of this stuff. Not songs, you mean new POP songs. But of course, you must pander to children who believe the world began in 1998, when they were born!

Y'all couldn't find any Kelly Clarkson songs? Aside from maybe the Mariah/Minnie/Ariana songs listed, she has the voice to tackle any of these, as her Kellyoke segments show. Heck, she's even done Ariana songs in front of Ari.

You know that your list is not complete cause you completly ignored the Metal genre. And so you ignored Vocal monsters like Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Suzuka Nakamoto, Brittney Slays, Alissa White-Gluz and many Others

Well, this Video focuses on Pop songs. The most difficult songs are of course in the metal genre. Nightwish - Ghost Love score or Within Temptation - Angels are examples but there are for sure even more difficult ones.

I agree with 1 and 2 but to think that that Beyonce song was better than Celine Dion, yall are cray cray! Celine Dion should have been number 3 and Christina should have been number 4 with Beyonce as number 5.

You left out Linda Ronstadt. Pretty much anything by her is incredible. But as for challenging, check out her performance of Poor Wandering One from Gilbert and Sullivans Pirates of Penzance. She is phenomenal.

I think we're confusing shrill for hard note. Singers like Gaga, Jonette Napolitano, Joplin, Melanie, Stevie, Odetta, Celia Cruz, Carly Simon, Baez, Dolly, .no cover does them justice or ever will.

Where are: Better Days by Dianne Reeves, Come on In Out of The Rain by Wendy Moten and Through the Fire by Chaka Khan? These songs will make the other ones listed here sound like nursery rhymes.

The absolute hardest songs, bar none for Any female singer, Anything sung by Judith Durham, because the are going to be compared, and none can come close to the greatest!

Supposedly, Mozart wrote a song to mess with the female singer. It's called 'Queen of the Night' and is considered by many to be the most difficult song to sing.

Not a favorite female belter, but Vanessa Amorosi's - Heroes Live Forever at the Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony, is definitely an earful of high notes.

Each time I hear Rolling in the Deep presented as Adele's song I get a splitting headache. Please, it's either Aretha Franklyn's song or prove me wrong!

Great selection! Love it! One friendly criticism too - less talking and more music might be a better fit to your audience. Otherwise - respect and thanks!

Precise about Toni Braxton. Singers often forget to give presence to them lower notes of our registers.

Celine Dion is probably one of the greatest female singers. It's a shame that she's unable to continue her career.
