I've already contributed some singers, but I'll add a few more:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMW679qlwrc[/youtube]
Beth Gibbons of Portishead, whose every sung word is sung straight from the heart, to the point where she has cried during performances. To the guy that posted the singer from Massive Attack, this may well appeal to you especially.

Nina Nastasia, folk/rock singer from the US

Julie Fowlis, stellar Scottish folk singer whose lyrics are in Gaellic

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJo0-36hCfU[/youtube]
Martha Tilston, recently toured here in Australia, 'new-folk' singer from the UK, also formerly part of the band Mouse

Laura Marling, up and coming new pop-folk/roots talent from the UK

Yeah, I had a lot of video praises for Martina Topley Bird but I realize that's in a very similar but altogether different thread (I think specifically a recommendation request thread for female singers worth listening to).

Wendy O. Williams

A really powerful singer who could twist her voice to sound distinctly masculine, which to me is a really impressive feat.

My favourite is Aya Hirano, a Japanese singer, though both of Nightwish's singers are good, too.
