Does anyone know any songs that are just sung in a really pretty way? Obviously people have different opinions on what sounds pretty but like:

Autumn's Monologue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8DT6vX8cE) is one of my favourite "pretty" songs, quite an odd one considering they're usually a metal band of some sort with a male singer/screamer but there you go.

Personally I think one of the prettiest singing voices belongs to Andrea Corr (of The Corrs) in basically every (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n2V8YouPhg) song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wTHjYcsdQ0) they (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fMUYU8DC1U) have (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBkXXSbwlE), might not be a universal taste of course :P

Irresistible U R (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylzsw7klUE8) by Alisha's Attic is also a good one for a list of pretty songs, was basically written about me so can't be bad init.

There are quite a lot of one off songs that I find by some singer or another that can be classed in this way, usually from the ending of a Grey's Anatomy episode or something lol but yeah there's all sorts around and not of course just in the charts.

I'll agree with the Titanic song :) Not so sure about the other two for me.

Not sure if this is the stuff you're looking for, but my favourite acoustic female singers are Brandi Carlile and Lisa Mitchell.

Pretty songs? Piazza, New York Catcher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfAiYmHPSko) by Belle and Sebastian is probably one of the prettiest songs I know. Make It Wit Chu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wTxqHbJOzg&feature=related) by Queens of the Stone Age is quite a nice chill song, maybe not so pretty. And finally, Babydoll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUCPOKrXfI) by the Fratellis, just something different by them than Whistle for the Choir.

Nearly everything Joe Hisaishi composes is wonderful.

Also Ludovico Einaudi and Enya have a lot of really beautiful songs.
