this album should have been a super duper enormous smash hit.

The most underappreciated artist I can think of is Bernadette Cooper from Klymaxx. She was a big part of Klymaxx which was an all female band that played instruments. She also was behind behind Madame X.

These ladies were far from weak. They could throwdown hard like the men.

VH1 reunited the band for a concert. They tracked each member down, one by one, and showed what they were doing with their lives now. The girls were living just "average" lives, kinda boring ones.

Anyway, one of the girls had put together a new group of girls and was touring using the name "Klymaxx". All the other girls were mad at her about it and suing her, especially Bernadette, who was furious. When VH1 approached the girl's door, she refused to epen it until she talked to her lawyer.

The girls agreed to do the concert and some of them were willing to perform with the girl that started the mess. Bernadette was totally unwilling to perform with her. I thought she was going to kick her ass. Anyway, the show went on without the girl.

this is exactly why i consider neneh cherry underappreciated. i guarantee you, if you had a chance to listen to 'homebrew', or if you even had a chance to listen to her subsequent album 'man', you'd have a waaaay different opinion on her. i think she fell in the cracks, at least here in america, because she started making 'alternative' soul music. she didn't make cookie-cutter music, and it was hard to put a label on her. i mean, she did a duet with michael stipe on 'homebrew' that was all about teaching sex education in school, fer pete's sake! neneh cherry was about WAY more than 'buffalo stance', trust me. and because more people don't know that, she's a very good example of an underappreciated female artist. thanks for helping me make my point!

Thank you for putting Lizz Wright on this list. her voice is incredible. I would like to add Miss Vivian Green to the list.

I know there are about a million names that could go on a list like this, but I took the time to make a little presentation to display some that come to mind. With all the Britneys, Beyonces, and Christinas that get full blown media assault campaigns launched onto the public, I thought it might be good to throw out a few artists who have had record deals, but have failed to receive proper recognition for their talents and abilities. If radio treated these ladies with the same reverence as they do artists like Ashanti and Ashley Simpson, people probably wouldn't have such a distaste for the current playlists that plague the radiowaves on a daily basis. It would also set a much-needed standard for future artists to to attempt to aspire to. In a fair world, these divas would rule the radio.
