Posted July 20, 201113 yr http://i26.tinypic.com/1118fuq.png So I am pleased to announce the results of the 2nd Annual BuzzJack's Ultimate Female Countdown. Thanks to all 51 posters who voted for the 101 females who made it through to the voting stage. The main questions are: Will Lady Gaga retain her crown? What about the likes of Adele, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Scherzinger and others? They've all had a fantastic year and have made significant progress this year but is it enough for any of them to take the #1 spot? Before I post any results here are the 27 females who didn't receive enough nominations to be eligible for this year's competition (with their positions last year), and therefore exit the top 100 to make way for 27 new entries. 47 Duffy 50 Debbie Harry 55 Melanie C 56 Dido 58 Dannii Minogue 61 Tori Amos 64 KT Tunstall 66 VV Brown 70 Elly Jackson 71 Geri Halliwell 76 Ashley Tisdale 77 Faith Hill 80 Kate Nash 81 Siobhan Donaghy 82 Sia 83 Ashlee Simpson 84 Lights 85 Corinne Bailey Rae 86 Sharleen Spiteri 88 Sarah McLachlan 89 Joni Mitchell 93 Luciania 94 Sixousie Sioux 95 Charlotte Hatherley 98 Regina Spektor 99 Courtney Love 100 Vanessa Amrossi Edited August 5, 201113 yr by GrAmii
July 20, 201113 yr Author http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/AgnesCarlssonSweden_cropped.jpg/220px-AgnesCarlssonSweden_cropped.jpg 97 NE Alison Moyet 36 98 NE Cassie 30 99 NE Shingai Shoniwa 25 100 NE Shontelle 16 101 NE Agnes 11 So it begins with a slew of new entries and somebody had to come last. That acolade goes to Agnes. Sadly, I don't know a lot of her material other than the obvious hit 'Release Me' which hit the top 3 in 2009. Shontelle and Cassie are about as forgettable as female RnB artists can get. I'm shocked that anybody even remembers who Cassie is? Shontelle on the other hand did deliver the beautiful 'Impossible', which was rumoured to be Cher Lloyd's winning single had she emerged triumphant on last year's X Factor. Shingai Shoniwa failed to qualify last year and I'm surprised to see her in the list this year considering the Noisettes have failed to release anything of notice since their brief success in 2009. A very poor start really with some of the bland deadwood being cleared out. Huge shame about Alison Moyet though. I have recently discovered her greatness through the 80s duo Yazoo. I demand you check out their big hits 'Don't Go' and 'Only You'. The latter is probably very familiar. FaHuzkyurC0
July 20, 201113 yr Oh Sia! :( Cassie is far too low. She's not forgettable in the slightest! In my world Cassie is a one-hit wonder artist with a perfect pop meets r n b track "Me And You" :wub: :wub: Didn't like/get interested/forgot her other stuff. :(
July 20, 201113 yr Author http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/sheryl-crow/sheryl-crow-20051103-82220.jpg 92 NE Wynter Gordon 56 93 96 Colbie Caillat 53 94 79 Sheryl Crow 47 95 NE Christina Milian 40 96 NE Natalia Kills 37 Last lot for tonight sees Natalia Kills at #96! I really don't feel she deserves to be included but bleh. At least her output under this guise is better than the hideous Verbalicious! Christina Milian had a slew of hits in the early 2000s. Personally, I was never that fussed but 'Dip It Low' was bearable. She did manage to remain relevant for a good five years after her debut as well. Sheryl Crow has been pretty quiet since the back end of the 90s. Albums have been released but other than a high charting greatest hits compilation in 2004, success has all but dried up. Crow tapped into a market of female pop-rock quite similar to Alanis Morissette. I'd definately place her higher despite not being a huge fan. Colbie Caillat climbs briefly from last year's position, though other than Gooddelta and a few others, I doubt she'll ever be a prominent force in the UK. Finally, we end with Wynter Gordon. I'm still undecided on her but am liking what I've heard. I really don't think we'll be talking about her next year, but hey-ho she could be Nu-Ashanti :o tCRwjtz4g9k
July 20, 201113 yr Shontelle, Agnes and Shingai right at the bottom? Well, that's not a good start. I love them. Never expected Wynter to get high, so that's good even though she's disadvantaged by being incredibly new.
July 20, 201113 yr all the females dropping out really do give an indication of how they've become less and less relevant since last year, anyway, I can't say there's anything that has interested me so far
July 20, 201113 yr Oh Sia! :( Cassie is far too low. She's not forgettable in the slightest! HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT SIA!?!? :cry: and hell yeah for Cassie! Where even is she these days?! Long way 2 go and Me & U were so good
July 20, 201113 yr Nothing too controversial so far. I was surprised Shingai and Christina Milian qualified this year to be honest, and I doubt Agnes is likely to ever get a UK hit again. Cassie is also now an irrelevant figure. Would perhaps have expected Natalie Kills do perform better, though I won't complain too much really since I find her rather vulgar. To an extent Shontelle is also perhaps lower than expected. What's rather more shocking is some of the females who've failed to make it through. Poor Duffy. Poor Sia. Poor Melanie.
July 20, 201113 yr I love that Cassie has inexplicably made a comeback (OF SORTS) despite not having released anything at all now in two years. That's STAR QUALITY for you. If Shontelle has never made this list before I wouldn't have guessed or desired that she would enter now to be honest. The debut era produced some rather enjoyable music but the follow up album consisted entirely of stale Kelly Rowland rejects. And that's bad. Impossible redefined bland. Fabulous for Wynter and I'm most pleased to see that she's higher than NOTED NOBODY NATALIA 'KILLS'.

She ties for 87th place with Katy B, who has recently been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Personally, I fail to see what's so fascinating about her. I haven't liked one of her songs and she definately strikes me as an artist who nobody will remember by the time Album #2 comes around. Beth Gibbons and Mary J Blige are both on the slide from last year, the former being Portishead's front woman, whilst Laura Marling sparked controversy of her own when she denied Cheryl Cole a BRIT Award this year. Needless to say BuzzJack went into homo-meltdown :heehee: Sadly, Ms Marling doesn't upstage Cheryl in these results though. 8XNaPX6MKlU&ob=av2e
July 21, 201113 yr Very disappointed to see Mary this low. I know she's hardly at the top of her game anymore, but lower than the likes of Inna and Cascada? What is this f***ery. Nice to see Laura Marling make an appearance more than anything, though I'm equally disappointed to see Katy B as low down aswell. A fantastic album, and I have no idea what the hate on BJ is about frankly.
July 21, 201113 yr Mary J.Blige and Mutya Buena should be higher imo, everyone else so far I don't really care about. Some shouldn't even be Top 100.
July 21, 201113 yr Author http://www.tampabay.com/multimedia/archive/00014/b4s_Horler031608_14135c.jpeg 82 78 Santigold 80 83 71 Dusty Springfield 74 84 NE Inna 73 85 NE Nadine Coyle 72 86 NE Natalie Horler 70 I may be a bit harsh during this countdown but Natalie from Cascada? VILE in every sense of the word. I supposes their musical output was decent for about a year before they decided that ripping off current big tracks was the way to go. The public bought into it with their 'Just Dance' tribute 'Evacuate The Dancefloor' which became their first chart topper in June 2009 - but the 'Poker Face' infused 'Pyromania' and recent single 'San Francisco' that doesn't even attempt to disguise the fact it steals from 'California Gurls' showed that interest no longer existed for them. Not even the GA loons could prevent Nadine Coyle from flopping once again. The sooner GA get back together, the better for pop music as far as I'm concerned. Inna is another one who doesn't deserve to be here. I sound like a stuck record but frankly some of the choices are BIZARRE. Even more so that Inna was placed as high as #6 on somebody's chart. Dusty Springfield and Santigold bring a level of respect back to the countdown. I must admit though that the only Dusty material I am aware of is her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. FLOP ME. mG8XGXMB0gU
July 21, 201113 yr Mary is obviously a better artist than so many who've finished above her here but nonetheless the petty side of me enjoys seeing her so low given that she's been a perpetual disappointment for basically the last five years now. UP your GAME, MJB.
July 21, 201113 yr Author What is it about Gooddelta and his token flop star coming last in these things? :lol: Last year, Vanessa Amorossi, this year Agnes :heehee: I also think you're the only one who gave both of them points.
July 21, 201113 yr Well, I like Cascada, even if San Francisco is a bit tired. And the same with Inna, although I never expected either to come high. Surprised a bit that Mutya's so low, though.
