Singers that have blown you away
I'm always interested in vocalists, male or female, who have outstanding singing voices. And when I hear a vocalist hit a high note and keep it, I often say "That was amazing" out loud. I'm going to give an example of vocals that have really hit me like a bomb of pleasure.
I'll be predictable (See signature) and say that Tarja Turunen from Nightwish has, not once, not twice, but countless times knocked me off my feet in awe. Her live rendition of Phantom of the Opera starts off somewhat average, and builds up. Finally, at the end of the song, she hits a note so high I'm surprised every single window in Finland didn't immediately shatter. Here's the link before I get obsessed and go on and on:

I want to know what exact singer has amazed you, and with which song, be it studio or live. Also I want links to that song! And I don't just mean, 'they sing the song well, getting all the right notes'. What I want are those really breath-taking high notes, or notes held for inhumanely long periods of time.
