Not so much a top ten, here's just a list of singers I find really good, or impressive, or at least have something going on...

Male:
Meat Loaf (like, eh... du'h!)
Damian Wilson (ex-Threshold, Ayreon)
'Sir' Russell Allen (Symphony X, but I really love what he's done with Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One)
Pascal Jakobsen (Bløf)
Bruce 'Air-Raid Siren' Dickinson (Maiden)
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi, screw Jon)
Mikael Äkerfeldt (Opeth, does some awesome screams and grunts, but can sing very beatiful too)
Rory Dodd ("Turn around, Bright Eyes")
Kyle "Scarpia" Gordon (DotV Demos, AKIATTTW demo)
Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage, Circle II Circle)
Jon Oliva (Savatage, Doctor Butcher)
and recently I saw Kelly Keeling (Michael Schenker Group, Blue Murder, Erik Norlander) and he was really impressive live...

Female:
Lana Lane
Floor Jansen (After Forever, Star One)
Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation)
Tarja Turunen (Nightwish)
Amy Lee (Evanescence)

10. The female singer from dance of the vampires

If you mean the female singer from the "Total Eclipse", "Braver Than We Are" and "Dance of the Vampires" demos, you're talking about Elaine Caswell, who you might also know for her work with Pandora's Box (All Coming Back, It Just Won't Quit)... if you're taking about the "Angels Arise" demo, I don't have a clue who that is...
