To ME, the two strongest voices were Shirley Bassey & KD Lang.
Thoughts on this?

    I'd have to say Tom Jones.

    Adele too (but again,may have something to do with the backing instruments), and I also second Shirley Bassey.

    And Tina Turner too.

    I'm with @chrisisall on this. Honorable mention to Gladys Knight and Tina Turner, though.

    Bassey’s voice is very strong (perhaps a bit too strong in certain ways - I’m actually not a huge fan of GF’s title song with its ear piercing horns and Bassey’s booming voice). Wonderful singer though.

    Apart from that it’s the usual ones mentioned here for me - Jones, Adele etc.

    Dependent on what people mean by ‘strong’ (I’m not a singer nor am I particularly musical) not sure how Sam Smith’s range would factor into that? I don’t like TWOTW but it’s quite impressive hearing how high his vocals can get.

    Yeah. I forgot Tom Jones. Also, I prefer Smith's song to Eilish's.

    Yeah, I agree. I find NTTD a very forgettable song.

    Dame Shirley Bassey is certainly one that comes to mind.
