BillsPride12 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I feel like when we do these musical threads a lot of time the female talents get overlooked so this thread is strictly for them 1) Whitney 2) Janis Joplin 3) Aretha Franklin 4) Stevie Nicks 5) Christina Aguilera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) This far into the list and no one has mentioned Billie Holiday? Nina Simone? Etta James? Marlene Dietrich? How about Hildegard Knef, who is incredible! Talk about recency bias! You guys are all swimming in very shallow musical waters.

Another Fan Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hard to say top 5 but I’d probably include her and she hasn’t gotten any recognition yet on this thread. Funk lovers know her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 It's really impossible to narrow a list like this down to 5. I thought of two others who haven't been mentioned yet in this thread. Carole King and Carly Simon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A great stylist. She shows the art of singing is much more than the sort of bravura performances that gain applause on American Idol and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGTEleven Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) This is obviously very subjective. I'll go with singers who at various times have made me say wow. In alphabetical order Emmylou Harris Whitney Houston Martina McBride (way underrated, watch her God Bless America from the Rose Bowl parade) Ruth Moody Linda Ronstadt There are a lot of honorable mentions. I'll offer one (in hopes that someone will start a male singers thread) Natalie Cole Edited March 22, 2023 by OGTEleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
