Anastacia

Anastacia has one of those voices that stops you in your tracks. From Chicago, she packs an enormous, soulful power into a small frame, and the numbers back it up: over 50 million records sold and 227 gold and platinum certifications. Winning both newcomer and song of the year at the 2001 NRJ Music Awards announced her arrival emphatically. What I admire most, though, is her resilience; she has faced serious health battles and kept singing with remarkable strength. A diva in the best sense, she earns my respect as much for her grit as for that unmistakable, gravelly powerhouse of a voice.
