July 29, 201014 yr http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/34923007/Kate%20Bush%20Kate.jpg 017 Kate Bush + 314 Pts + Stats Votes: 18 Highest Position: 1 [Dandy, Mark., Severin] Top Ten: 11 Years Active: 1975 - Present An amazing f***ing talent. One of, if not the most original and inventive artists to ever grace the scene of music who has influenced countless others that have followed her. Kate Bush's debut single Wuthering Heights topped the UK singles chart in 1978 becoming the first track to be penned and performed by a woman. Two years later the album Never For Ever became the first British female solo artist to have a #1 album. It's clear when you examine the likes of Tori Amos, Alison Goldfrapp, Bjork and even bands like Muse and Florence & The Machine that the style and music of Bush are evident. She takes her time between albums though releasing her last effort in 2005, 12 years since 1993's The Red Shoes. 9n2VSe_lja4 The woman remains utter perfection and absolutley towers over every other act in the top 40. Only a couple of others come close in the whole rundown. Oh and if anyone cares today (30th) is her birthday, or Katemas as it has become known.
July 30, 201014 yr I wish Anastacia would get contact lenses. She looks so much better without those trademark glasses! She's had laser eye surgery, http://anastascia.pblogs.gr/files/17010-%C3%83%E2%80%A6%C3%83%C2%A9%C3%83%C2%AA%C3%83%C2%BC%C3%83%C2%AD%C3%83%C2%A1%20027.jpg
July 30, 201014 yr Author I'm not going to reveal the top 10 until Sunday night as a lot of people are busy over the weekend [myself included] and I want as many people as possible here :P I will put up to #11 over today though. http://www.celebritybeautybuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gwen-stefani-4-in-the-morning-400.jpg 016 Gwen Stefani + 320 Pts + Stats Votes: 28 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 10 Years Active: 1986 - Present One of the best frontwomen around imo. No Doubt are just plain amazing. Every album they've released has been full of fantastic tracks that move through a variety of genres of eras. Their international breakthrough came with the infamous Don't Speak and the band have been on hiatus since the middle of the 2000s, though are currently working on new material. Stefani launched her own successful solo career in 2004, releasing two albums that combined the style of Madonna and Debbie Harry amongst others. Who can forget What You Waiting For? & The Sweet Escape huh? Stefani made most of the clothing she wore on stage with No Doubt herself. A fantastic artist and a modern day inspiration imo.

July 30, 201014 yr Author The top 15 artists were the same throughout the competition with only the positions changing. http://www.djflatline.se/wp-content/uploads/mariah-carey-biography-7.jpg 015 Mariah Carey + 353 Pts + Stats Votes: 23 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 12 Bitchslapped: 3 [Dandy, RabbitFurCoat, Silver Rocket] Years Active: 1988 - Present Warbling diva Mariah Carey actually finishes a lot higher than I expected considering her reputation on Buzzjack. Mariah is inescapable as one of the biggest selling female artists in music history. Her screeching vocals and rather eccentric and crazy antics have kept her in the spotlight for 2 decades.Originally, Mariah released ballad after ballad, but eventually embraced the RnB/Hip-Hop sound that dominates the American charts to revive her career, having major success in 2005 for the first time in over 5 years with The Emancipation Of Mimi album. I bored of her a long time ago tbh. Whilst other artists fight to change their image, Mariah just jumps onto whatever is popular and her drawling vocals followed by over the top screeching makes a lot of her back catalogue painful to listen to. I do like Heartbreaker, Butterfly, We Belong Together and Fantasy though.Carey has had 18 #1 hits in America and has reportedly sold over 175 million records globally. FKQOTnWb9GU
July 30, 201014 yr 5 years ago Gwen would have been much higher in this chart. maybe even have been number 1. Edited July 30, 201014 yr by tonyttt31
July 30, 201014 yr Author 5 years ago Gwen would have been much higher in this chart. maybe even have been number 1. Definately. I'm certain a lot of people were voting for what they 'currently' like rather than what they consider to be the all time best. I hope so for some people's sake anyway :heehee: Edited July 30, 201014 yr by GrAmii
July 30, 201014 yr Didn't think Gwen would be this high, nice to see Mariah up there though. Still can't believe GaGa is top 14 and probs gonna win it all
July 30, 201014 yr I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that Gaga is not going to win by much if she does win.
July 30, 201014 yr Author http://www.rap-up.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/nelly-furtado-fence.jpg 014 Nelly Furtado + 363 Pts + Stats Votes: 32 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 9 Years Active: 1996 - Present Furtado first came to attention in 2001 with her debut album Whoa Nelly! and it's airplay smash I'm Like A Bird which gained her a Grammy. After a disappointing second album [performance wise – musically it remains her best for me], Furtado made Timbaland popular and was inescapable with 2006's Loose which harboured the international smashes Maneater, Promiscuous & Say It Right. Just by looking at Furtado's three albums, you can see the evolution of her music and style. Despite Loose aiming to regain her popularity by filling current trends, it's a much darker, yet deep and serious record – miles above most of the music around at the time. Furtado also sings in Spanish releasing a full length Spanish album Mi Plan last year. She is currently preparing a new English record to drop sometime in 2010. It'll be interesting to see how it works out for her as the gap between releases is so huge. Furtado states that the record will contain elements of funk. She has sold 25 million records worldwide.

July 30, 201014 yr Mariah is terrible apart from her Christmas song. Better actress. Mariah is many things a Diva, a bit nutty and a drama queen but she is in no way terrible.During the peak of her many career comebacks she has set a very high standard vocally, song writing, performance.Her vocal range and ability has been possibly the best out of current female acts. Certainly her voice may not be in its prime but she deserves her place.Pleased to see Alex Top 20, hopefully her material will get better the older she gets but Bad Boys, All Night Long and Dangerous are my current favs.I cant think of many UK female singers who are as polished on stage when they are performing as Alex.
July 30, 201014 yr Yay I hope Shakira can make top 10! Top 3 for Kylie too hopefully! Shaki should squeeze top ten but I don't think kylie will get top 3, may not even squeeze top 5 but it'll be close I think i think top 3 (in any order) will be P!nk, Gaga and Beyonce perm any 2 from Alicia, Kylie, Britney and Leona for the other 2 places in top 5 I really want Alicia top 5 :wub: Edited July 30, 201014 yr by Lift Me Up
July 30, 201014 yr i'm so glad bjork beat the likes of cheryl cole and that kate bush is actually in the top 20!
July 30, 201014 yr Author No other artists could get close to the top 13 – though 11-13 constantly swapped places, the top 10 were miles out ahead throughout the adding up process. http://www.misslopez.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shakira.jpg 013 Shakira + 406 Pts + Stats Votes: 29 Highest Position: 1 [shakilover, Jark] Top Ten: 9 Years Active: 1990 - Present Whilst she's not as eccentric as the likes of Bjork or Kate Bush, Shakira is clearly in a league of her own. The colombian singer first rose to fame in the Latin America scene during the early 90s and is most notorious for her obsession with belly dancing, weird yet fantastic lyrics [confusing breasts with mountains anybody?] and her deep yet powerful voice. Despite massive success with her Spanish music, it wasn't until 2002 that Shakira gained fame in major music markets like the UK with the brilliant Whenever Wherever. She's sold over 50 million records globally making her the second most successful Latin artist ever behind only Gloria Estefan and has the best selling single of the millennium so far worldwide with Hips Don't Lie which cemented her status as one of the biggest artists in the world during Summer 2006. 8hyF2EZwxHU
July 30, 201014 yr I like Nelly, but I do think she is a tad overated tbh, not deserving of #14 imo Loose album is brilliant though!
July 30, 201014 yr As for Shakira, I also think she is a bit overated, my fave album of hers is still 'Laundry Service' I LOVED 'Objection' and I did love 'She Wolf' and 'Did It Again' but I never got the fascination with 'Hips Don't Lie'
July 30, 201014 yr Author I never got the fascination with 'Hips Don't Lie' Me either. It's another example of my least favourite song by an artist being their most commerically successful. Kylie & CGYOOMH is another.
July 30, 201014 yr Mariah is many things a Diva, a bit nutty and a drama queen but she is in no way terrible.During the peak of her many career comebacks she has set a very high standard vocally, song writing, performance.Her vocal range and ability has been possibly the best out of current female acts. You say this as if vocal ability is something that stops someone from being a terrible artist. She's uninteresting, he material is ordinary and she's terrible. Why are so many people here obsessed with vocal ability?
July 30, 201014 yr Me either. It's another example of my least favourite song by an artist being their most commerically successful. Kylie & CGYOOMH is another. I'm with you on the Kylie song too
