July 30, 201014 yr Author http://www.topnews.in/files/Katy-Perry0125.jpg 012 Katy Perry + 425 Pts + Stats Votes: 32 Highest Position: 3 Top Ten: 14 Years Active: 2001 - Present Katy Perry has definitely created a lot of buzz in the music industry despite only being successful as a mainstream artist since 2008. Whilst she may not have the vocal skills and such to compete with some of the all time greats, she definitely knows how to deliver hit after hit with a very consistant selection of singles. Having Christian parents, Perry first tried her hand at Gospel music which failed to set the charts alight. It was the 2008 worldwide smash I Kissed A Girl with its tongue in cheek, homosexual innuendos that propelled her to global fame. Religious and gay activists were outraged whilst I just laughed. It was a cracking song that was clearly a bit of fun. Gimmicky it was and it certainly got her noticed but how many other artists are guilty of the same thing? Success followed with the equally huge Hot N Cold whilst collabarations with 3Oh!3 and Timbaland have made Perry one of the hottest stars on the planet. She is currently in the middle of the campaign for second release Teenage Dream which as well as featuring the gorgeous title track is home to one of 2010's most successful singles: California Gurls featuring resident p**** in waiting Snoop Dogg. The Hot N Cold video is still hilarious and not only are her facial expressions worthy of a Hall of Fame, she is also stunning. yY3CehyfUko
July 30, 201014 yr Katy high, but I'm loving her latest era, one of my most anticipated albums this year! Although 'I Kissed A Girl' is SO overated!
July 30, 201014 yr 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? Obsessed with vocal ability when you are a music fan is a bad thing why exactly.I never stated that one needs great vocal ability to be a good artist.If that were the case Madonna, Britney and Nelly would not have careers.It is very sad these days that press attention, stupid outfits, controversial videos, bouts of illness are somehow more relevant than a singers ability to carry a tune and know how to sing. My personal preference is tuneful singing and not a weak stangulated tone thats why I like Whitney and Mariah at thier peak, Amy Lee, Jennifer Hudson, Anastacia, Mary J, Leona and Alex. Mariah's songs fair enough may no be to everyones tastes but some of her songs are really good Be My Baby, Vision of Love,Honey, We Belong Togeather and Hero.
July 30, 201014 yr Author http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID34542/images/madonna_10.jpg 011 Madonna + 495 Pts + Stats Votes: 32 Highest Position: 1 [swagger91] Top Ten: 19 Bitchslapped: 2 [Adam, Lukuzz] Years Active: 1979 - Present Be ashamed Buzzjack. I question your sanity when you can't even place the Queen of Pop in the top 10!. I'm unsure if people genuinely believed she would automatically be top 5 that they didn't vote for her or just don't like her. Madonna may not be the most talented vocalist, but she is an entertainer and a true one at that and is arguably the most successful and influential female pop artist around. Madonna pushed the boundaries of lyrical content in her songs and used imagery in her videos to propell her to worldwide fame. She was one of the biggest selling artists of the 1980s and despite a period of poor material in the mid 90s returned to form with 1998's Ray Of Light. Imo her output since then has been shoddy at best but this woman has bought us some of the most memorable songs of modern music including Like A Virgin, Get Into The Groove, Like A Prayer, Vogue, Beautiful Stranger, Holiday, Borderline, Hanky Panky, Frozen, Music & Hung Up. Her image and sound has evolved many times since she first released music, proving the versatile nature of Madonna. My only fault is that horrible purple workout number she wore during the Hung Up video. It still gives me nightmares. Madonna is supposedly the world's top selling female artist with the Guinness Book of World Records stating that she has sold more than 300 million records worldwide. She's not my favourite artist but I would easily put her top 5 on this list. oMCbtyBdZZ4
July 30, 201014 yr Nah I'm not a huge Madonna fan (hence the Bitchslap I gave her) I do have one of her albums and two singles but there is alot of stuff I dislike from her tbh. She's not horrendeous but I certainly don't love her.
July 30, 201014 yr Madonna's quality is up and down but I think her 90s work is her most interesting. Even before the pretty great Ray of Light she had Erotica, This Used to be My Playground, You'll See....She should never had worked with Timbaland. Edited July 30, 201014 yr by tonyttt31

July 30, 201014 yr It's a joke that Madonna is not in the Top 10 - when Kylie and Britney are. How does anyone rate them above her?
July 30, 201014 yr I'm thinking Top 10 will be like this - 1. Lady GaGa 2. Kylie Minogue 3. P!nk 4. Britney Spears 5. Rihanna 6. Leona Lewis 7. Alicia Keys 8. Christina Aguilera 9. Kelly Clarkson 10. Beyonce But I hope its like this - 1. Kelly Clarkson 2. Christina Aguilera 3. Beyonce 4. Leona Lewis 5. Rihanna 6. Britney Spears 7. P!nk 8. Kylie Minogue 9. Lady GaGa 10. Alicia Keys
July 30, 201014 yr Author So only ten artists remain in the running to be crowned BuzzJack's Favourite Female Artist [that reminds me of some America's Next Top Model bull$h!t :/]. The final 10 will be revealed on Sunday night after 7ish. Feel free to speculate in the meantime but I will tell you: * There are two tied positions in the top 10 though not the #1. * Leona Lewis is the only remaining British . * Kylie Minogue is the oldest remaining female and has the longest career. * Alicia Keys is the only artist left not to have been placed at #1 in anybody's chart [she wasn't put higher than #3]. OK they're lame clues but I don't want to give too much away :P Alicia Keys Beyonce Britney Spears Christina Aguilera Kelly Clarkson Kylie Minogue Lady Gaga Leona Lewis P!nk Rihanna Edited July 30, 201014 yr by GrAmii
July 30, 201014 yr 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? Because singing is defined by an artists vocal ability. But I think I see where you are coming from. the best artist is not defined only by vocal abilty. to be the best artist then a lot of other factors are equally as important (as long as they can at least sing in tune !!) such as stage presence, personality, looks, invention and innovation........... the list goes on. this is why GaGa is likely to win this poll. She is not the best vocally (by quite a way) and she is not the best looking and her songs are nothing revolutionary. but she has enough in her weaker areas to support her very strong areas of innovation, uniqueness and idividuallity (in this generation), personality and an apparent in-built ability to entertain making her the hugely popular talent she is today.
July 30, 201014 yr and Gaga wrote Bad Romance and Just Dance. Who else in the Top 10 can claim that? Forgive my ignorance but who in the Top 10 actually writes their own biggest hits? Edited July 30, 201014 yr by tonyttt31
July 30, 201014 yr WANT 01| Lady GaGa 02| Britney 03| Beyonce 04| Rihanna 05| Alicia 06| Kylie 07| Pink 08| Christina 09| Leona 10| Kelly Clarkson THINK 01| Lady GaGa 02| Kylie 03| Beyonce 04| Christina 05| Rihanna 06| Britney 07| Leona 08| Alicia 09| Pink 10| Kelly Clarkson
July 30, 201014 yr Author and Gaga wrote Bad Romance and Just Dance. Who else in the Top 10 can claim that? Forgive my ignorance but who in the Top 10 actually writes their own biggest hits? I'm sorry but you're starting to annoy me now. Beyoncei s very involved in the writing side of her career as is P!nk who has cowritten or written by herself every track on 4/5 of her albums [the only exception being her gimmicky debut which she didn't want to make in the first place]. I can't tell you for certain about the others but I'm sure Alicia Keys does as well. Edit: And Christina Aguilera. Edited July 30, 201014 yr by GrAmii
July 30, 201014 yr overall this will be good top 10, apart from beyonce, gaga & kylie. my prediction: 1 Lady Gaga 2 Britney Spears 3 Rihanna 4 Kylie Minogue 5 Beyonce 6 P!nk 7 Christina Aguilera 8 Alicia Keys 9 Kelly Clarkson 10 Leona Lewis I wanna: 1 Britney Spears 2 P!nk 3 Alicia Keys 4 Rihanna 5 Kelly Clarkson 6 Christina Aguilera 7 Leona Lewis don't care for others three...
July 30, 201014 yr I am just stunned that madonna is not 1 that maybe shows that people are just too young on this site.In truth to steal a quote nearly all the young crop of female singers have built thier careers in the house that Madonna built.
July 30, 201014 yr I'm sorry but you're starting to annoy me now. Beyoncei s very involved in the writing side of her career as is P!nk who has cowritten or written by herself every track on 4/5 of her albums [the only exception being her gimmicky debut which she didn't want to make in the first place]. I can't tell you for certain about the others but I'm sure Alicia Keys does as well. Edit: And Christina Aguilera. That's why I asked. Thanks for the information. In no way did I assume that none of the Top 10 wrote their own material. My first question was who else could claim to have written Bad Romance and Just Dance....
