Love the movie, love the scene, and love Barbara Padilla. Thanks, Paul

Didn't see the only one vote part. I'll have to go with Jill Scott over Alicia Keys if I had to choose.

I'm down with Alison Krauss, awesome and unique vocalist.

But this list ain't complete without Martina McBride:

Doris Day had a powerful instrument and knew how to use it. Pure, clean and true. It's a shame that she got pigeon holed into novelty tunes. Her earlier stuff was incredible. If we're talking current vocalists, I like Anna Nalick, And she sings good too!

Absolutely

She really hit her peak (vocally) before her movie career took off.
