Yeah u have got some of my faves on that list, its honestly tough to come up with this one, not because i dont like 20 female singers but the "all time" thing is pretty tough.
But not in order i would say
Joni Mitchell Aretha Franklin Cyndi Lauper Madonna Ann Wilson Pat Benatar Joan Jett Norah Jones Diana Ross Chaka Khan Teri Nunn (of Berlin) Debbie Harry Lisa Lisa Annie Lennox Tina Turner Stevie Nicks Olivia Newton John Donna Summer Carly Simon Barbra Streisand

I agree with the picks that weren't on my list too.
yeah its tough because the styles are so varied with them, i mean theres stuff that Teri Nunn of Berlin has done that I could never hear Carly Simon or Joni Mitchell doing and vice versa. Its tough though because i tend to listen more to male artists overall thats why the whole "all time thing" is a tough one to put together with females.

yeah i mean i could have tossed in Patti Labelle, Sarah Vaughan, but i havent stuck on them constantly with everything they released, its been up and down, and depends on mood, etc...

This is so hard, but here goes (And yes this is super camp, my male list looks much more masculine by comparison)
1. Barbra Streisand (Just amazing, don't believe me watch Funny girl and listen to Woman In Love)) 2. Donna Summer (Greatest Voice and disco singer ever) 3. Whitney Houston (Solely for the 1985 -1992, her voice was just amazing and flawless, she had so much power) 4. Bette Midler (Another one whose iconic songs like The Rose and Wind Beneath my wings I love) 5. Grace Jones (A legend, a diva, a vamp, a demon and a goddess in every way) 6. Shirley Bassey (Elegance, fabulosity, bravura vocals and a prima diva all rolled in to one wool moquette, sequined taffeta fur lined gown). 7. Madonna (The sheer body of work overwhelms you) 8. Billie Holiday (Just so tragic and fabulous in one) 9. Diana Ross (No comment, she oozes diva) 10. Celine Dion (I know, but some of her songs are just beyond amazing - Because you loved me, power of love etc and My heart will go on) 11. Aretha Franklin 12. Gladys Knight 13. Sade (So many great songs, your love is king, no ordinary love) 14. Tina Turner 15. Chaka Khan 16. Olivia Newton John (Everyone in the antipodes loves her and "Magic" is amazing song) 17. Sheena Easton 18. Annie Lennox (Solo and Eurythmics) 19. Syreeta Wright/ Wonder (There is a song called, Can't give back the Love I feel for you - Wow!!!! and Harmour Love to name a few) 20. Valerie Simpson (Besides her work with Ashford she wrote for Motown and did a few trax in the 70s, like "Silly Wasn't I"
21. Lady Gaga - Most enjoyable diva of 2010's Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |
