Jenny Lewis reigns above all other female artists. Every one of them. Except perhaps Cat Power and Karen O.

Lady Gaga will get on this list when she does a song that's one one-hundredth as good as Like a Prayer.
What? No. Get out.Quote:

You get out! You'd probably like her, foaface. Give her a try!
Which is exactly why that should be the music she releases. She's excellent live and understated compared to her less impressive electro-pop work.Quote:

Madonna is a long time fave, though she hasn't really made an album that was listenable since Ray of Light
Kylie Minogue is a fave of my and one of her recent singles is currently on repeat on my iPod
Jewel wasn't too bad back in the day, though I'm still annoyed that I can't find a version of You Were Meant for Me that actually sounds like the radio version and not that awful bland piece of garbage on her album.
I love Gwen Stefani, though I must say, she is better with No Doubt's reggae themed style. Her solo work is okay, just not Tragic Kingdom caliber
Melanie Thornton from La Bouche has a wonderful distinct voice that lent itself well to the early 90s dance scene. It's a shame she died in a plane crash.
Speaking of early 90s dance, Patsy Peterson and Vanessa Mason really made Real McCoy stand out, as well as Malin and Jenny Berggren from Ace of Base were great vocalist as well.
Sheryl Crow was another favorite growing up, as well as Meredith Brooks. Though my fave back then was Merril Bainbridge, her music is just so infectious.
Mariah Carey is pretty awesome and I also enjoy Loreena McKennitt
Toshiko Koshijima the lead vocalist for capsule is another recent fave singer.
Paula Abdul had a few good songs, Poe has a haunting voice, and who could forget the Spice Girls? Besides that one guy on the British game show. ;)
But what if she likes electro pop better?Quote:

Ugh, I really don't like her voice.Quote:

If so I really like Epica, Nightwish, and Sinergy. If they don't, I pretty much only like Madonna and some Ellie Goulding.
