So yes, I am back and during my summer that is more Barren than Karen McDonald's reproductive system, it's time to unleash the 2nd Annual Female Artist Smackdown.

Basically for those unfamiliar with this fabulous event, it arose after I became tired of all the constant 'stanning' and whinging about 'Britney being all this', 'Gaga being better than anthrax' etc that dominates this forum.


RULES

1] Post a list of your top female singers in this thread. This year, they don't have to be in any particular order as each artist you name will receive 1 vote. You may vote for up to 30 artists. The artist can be from any genre, country, language or decade as long as they have released ONE full studio album before July 2011. (So you can't vote for Cher Lloyd...).

2] Frontwomen of bands are allowed as long as they have released at least 1 full studio album. By frontwomen I mean bands that have a female as a main singer. Shirley Manson of Garbage, Amy Lee of Evanescence, Hayley Williams of Paramore and Beth Gibbons of Portishead are acceptable.

3] Please don't nominate countless girl group or pop band singers unless they conform to the rules outlined in 1] & 2]. So yes Cheryl Cole or Rachel Stevens would be qualifiable but Frankie Sandford and Sarah Harding are not. This also includes Glee Cast, whose ladies are not acceptable until they release an album of material away from the series.

4) THE TOP 20 FROM LAST YEAR'S COMPETITION, AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY SO PLEASE DON'T VOTE FOR THEM AS IT WON'T MATTER!

5) There will be no changes to the format from last year as it worked so well. So yes, that means the Bitch Slap shall return.

6) Assuming we get as many votes as we did last year, the top 80 from the nomination process will join last year's final 20 in this year's top 100 voting round. If not then I will cap the amount of nominations that reach the final round to a lower number.

Peace. Love. Joy and all that! And you have until July 10th to get your votes in.

Santigold

Bat For Lashes

is beth ditto acceptable?

 

well she should be

 

she is frontwomen of the band + she had released solo EP few months ago.

It's kind of ridiculous that old Gagsy won this last year after releasing 1.5 albums so I can't imagine anybody else will challenge this year...

17. Yasmin

Unfortunately she doesn't have an album out that was released before July 2011 :( (Unless something's leaked and it's completely passed me by! :o)
