Depends on your budget and what mic preamps you use and what kind of 
singers you expect.

Mics sound different when plugged into diffferent mic preamps.

A lot also depends on the acoustics of your space. If it's slappy and 
funky, you need a mic with a tighter pattern that doesn't pick up the 
nasties.

If the singer sings loud enough, they will excite the room anyway and 
that may or may not be a good thing.

You can't go wrong with an AT4050. It's a three pattern condenser mic 
that you can use on a lot of different things including voice.

The Rode NT2-a is also a good studio starter.
