Prog has been blessed with a profusion of great, male and female, multilingual voices. But when it comes to the absolute best, I guess the answer depends.
It depends on whether you consider Queen prog or not.
Kotro, hello
Queen could be classified as prog, if we take in consideration that at the time prog was not popular, even Genesis went pop. However they still produced a few memorable great prog tracks in-between. Also Freddie's ideas and vocals were so unique and dynamic this alone I consider prog.

^ I know sorry, but there are so few female singers so I thought proto and related would do.
Actually lots and lots. Apart from Annie Haslam, there are, off the top of my head, Sonja Kristina, Jane Duboc, Renate Knaup, Diamanda Galas, Rachel Cohen, Heather Findlay, Christina Booth, Mary Fahl. Plenty that I have left out because I couldn't recollect the names, like the singers of Vermillion Sands, Carol of Harvest, Golden Earring, Comus, etc. Also Tori Amos. ;)

I am not a fan of female fronted bands, especially if they all sound similar to i.e. Enya etc. all sound the same to me. If they were good they would have been accepted at a high prestige singing opera academy. They sound nothing like opera it's a middle of the range rejected samey and weird thing to me.
Kill me now arghhhh I cannot take it anymore! I don't like it. Hate it!

Eh, Jane Duboc has about as in much in common with Diamanda Galas as Billy Joel with Mike Patton. Furthemore, Diamanda Galas is good enough to wipe the floor with the overrated Lakes and Gabriels of the prog world but sadly nobody seems to care. Ever even heard Diamanda Galas?

^^^ Isn't that from the second Ren mki album? Or was Face of Yesterday reused in either of the two Illusion albums? Lovely track.
It's the wrong album cover (that's Illusion's second album). "Face of Yesterday" was a redo that appeared on Side B of Illusion's first album, Out of the Mist.
