Ritzy AND Rhydian from The Joy Formidable! Well, if Ritzy won't do it, then maybe Rhyd will do it instead. He has a very good voice!

Of the list I think Anna Calvi would work best with the Manics' music, she's about the only one (other then Peej) who could really handle the darker stuff from THB and TIMTTMY. I think Peej would be too whoopy on the upbeat ones - it works on her own stuff cos she's fairly minimalist musically, but the Manics' upbeat ones tend to be more OTT.

Cerys Matthews is a good shout.

Macy Gray anyone?
