You are probably referring to Jayne Mansfield who was an actress and not in the usual sense, a singer. She did record a few records but is mainly thought of as a more-than-amply endowed Actress. Accident, which may or may not have sheared off her head ( I am glad you said almost, as there are confusing stories) may have been indirectly caused by a smoke screen being laid down by a pest-abatement truck, which was hit but sustained only minor damage. Commence screening operations!- the countersign is- Holy Cow! ( pun intended).

A Chanteuse is a female mightclub singer.
Well, often they happen to be, but a prima Donna is actually more of an annoyingly full of herself female singer (almost always a soprano) who insists on running everything her way or she will throw a fit and refuse to sing. Kind of like a musical drama queen. You have to put up with them because the opera can't go on without them. *sigh* Originally the phrase did mean the main female singer in an opera, or the female member of the opera troupe who almost always got the leading role.
Solely based on singing, which answers your question, the best singer today is probably Beyoncé Knowles. Even if she is the most popular female of the decade, she is still underestimated when it comes to singing. There are things she does with her voice that almost nobody on Earth could do.
There is none; but some songs may feature a female singer.
