not as knowledgeable as you all are with the names of the vocalists cause my main concern is dancing and simply feeling it, s bare with me....
1.Lisa Shaw...heard her live several times...amazing
2.the person who sings on "don't change for me" by erro...or maybe it is erro, i don't know...teddy douglas(basement boys) dropped it on friday...i f'in love that song!!
3.there is some gospel guy that lots of people sample...think his first name is kenny or something
4.india
5.those en vogue girls should definitely move into house music
peace | |

You got it right, it's Erro. I'd probably say that "Don't Change for Me" is my favorite track of 2002. I somehow manage to completely flip out every single time someone drops it, no matter where I am or how tired I am that night. And watching a 6'3", 200+ lb. Black man flip out on a dance floor is truly a frightening sight, I've been told! 
As for my favorites:
Argh....I'm trying to think of the main vocalist that Blaze uses on their tracks, especially "Elevation," "How Deep Is Your Love," and "Brand New Day."
Roland Clark is another awesome one. He works a lot with a good friend of mine here in ATL.
E-Man is awesome, be he singing or doing spoken word.
I suppose they're not mainly House vocalists (they're usually remixed or brought on as collaborators, especially with MAW), but:
Shaun Escoffery
James Ingram
Musiq Soulchild
As for the ladies:
Lisa Shaw pretty much owns American House at this point amongst the more recent vocalists.
Gina Rene of Soulstice is fantastic, too, though. The girl has presence.
Julie McKnight won me over with "Finally" last year.
Caron Wheeler is classic, no doubt.
God, I'm running out of gas, now. I'm sure I'll add someone else later and edit this post.

The Vocalist on Una mas - I will follow (defected)
Lisa Shaw, she does some stuff on naked music I think, she is more of a jazz vocalist.
Jeanie Hopper, although she does more spoken word stuff, really sexy voice though.
Don't know much about male vocalists. | |

All about Roland Clark....
I still say the best vocalist in dance music is Robbie Craig, but I don't believe he's crossed over into the 4/4 realm at all... | |

i like robbie too, i don't know if i'd call him the best.....there's something about those British male vocalists though that i normally like.
Terence trent d'arby was one......rick astley...robbie craig.....i've even enjoyed William Young a lot...when does his full length come out? | |

Robbie Craig had a couple of 4/4 outings back in the mid 90's. He was a featured vocalist in a couple of Steve Anderson (of Brothers In Rhythm/DMC fame) productions which was quite good IMO. One of which was I think titled "Nothing I Can Do". | |
