I like Sade, on mine she perfectly sings and she has a pleasant voice. On mine except for that, that she has a pleasant voice she simply enough can fascinate listeners :)

[Sepstrup]

I hate that people choose Shakira. She can't sing...

[nati]

But many people think on another, them love Shakira and think that she most the good singer:))) The truth I too prefer to listen to other singers but all does not need to be spoken about them so badly:))

It's kind of hard to tell that she isn't a man by only hearing her sing, though.

[Catchthe22]

Not really a fan of her music, but out of all the pop stars of late, Christina Aguilera has impressive singing skills and range.

[AndreTheHyena]

Not really a fan of her music, but out of all the pop stars of late, Christina Aguilera has impressive singing skills and range.

I agree. And a fabulous chest.

[Catchthe22]

I agree. And a fabulous chest.

:thumb: You know it!

[Meatplow]

yeah its a shame when a female artist can sing amazingly but end up wasted making crap music, such as Mariah Carey.

I like PJ Harvey, that girl from Portishead (is that Beth Gibbons?).

[nati]

Strange why nobody speaks about Sade.....There are two variants, either you do not know her or you don't love her:)))
If you do not know her that you can listen to her songs on this link http://www.musicwebtown.com/nati and you learn her:))
But if you do not love her that you can write about this:))

Is Kelly Clarkson really all that? Or do kids namedrop her just to get that "I like pop music and Sonic Youth" hipster credibility?

I have my doubts.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's probably the second one, but she has a great voice.

[nati]

women should be in the kitchen

Why you so think?:))))
On yours women should prepare only on kitchen and more do nothing:))) I personally do not agree with you. You simply look and listen to songs Sade,how she can sit on kitchen?, she should sing and she tries to create pleasant for us, listeners, a song.
