Glorious 100 : Female singers and groups

Last Dreamer
in Countdowns and End of Year Charts

I don't know how to compare short (almost) perfect career with big names like Madonna, who had many hits, but also a lot weak/average singles. That's why it's just a list and not a countdown. Only my top 10 will be in the preference order.

Yes, I love beautiful blonde singers and never denied that.

If you don't share/understand it, so will be better don't post any comments in this thread.

    Thats a really nice recording for something almost 100 years old! The romantic lyrics of that era often bordered on cliche but its rather sweet hearing terms like "dearie" that have dropped out of use

    I can't recommend her for everybody, but she is funny enough despite strict/maybe even rude lyrics.

Before a main list we will do a long journey into 1920s music and you will know the name of oldest female singer, which I like.

Ruth Etting

Country : United States

She was born in 1896 year, for comparison Vera Lynn was born in 1917. Ruth had many hits in 1920s and 1930s decades.

Let's listen "After You've Gone" from 1927 year, which was the first her song, which I found on Youtube.

She has a nice voice in the singing style of the 20s and is mostly new to me though i have heard of her. When i was a kid a big singing star of that era was appearing in TV shows as an older actor so he was the first I really was aware of - Rudy Vallee. Ruth singing voice and style has weathered better though!

    For the start I wanted to select the act, which nobody will not include in their all-time best list.

    There were many interesting choices, but I wish to start with her.

    In the end it will be interesting to count the acts, which you didn't know before. I predict the best result somewhere near 20 out of 100.

    Kat McSnatch

    Country : Australia

    My song choice : Love

    "You Are A C##t" became small viral hit on Youtube in 2014 year, but there are some other funny tracks on "Respectable Member".

    Other favourite songs :

    I Don't Like You : www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-k_dbOr1jY

    Why You Want Me : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmrovfh6CK0

    You Are A C##t : www.youtube.com/watch?v=0doSWS0Fj24

    Usually two big "Gražios Dainos" # 1 hits are enough for including in this great music list.

    Tight Fit

    Country : United Kingdom

    My song choice : I'm Undecided

    Other favourite songs :

    Fantasy Island : www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUShvnknipE

    Waiting For The Rain : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucizMVNm9BI

    "Waiting For The Rain" is wonderful fresh song, almost as good as new (Bucks) Fizz music.

    I like seeing Belinda and Katy from the list so far, I like Belinda from her 80s hits and even recently she had some tunes!
    And Katy Perry's songs from 2008 to 2012 are also very nice.

    Betty Owczarek (Femme Fatale)

    Country : Belgium

    My song choice : Decadence

    Other favourite songs :

    Je T'aime Melancolie : www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAU2Gj5bI_A

    Come To Me : www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY61TO1lLIA

    You're The One : www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2M7SVmjnuw

    "Decadence" is true classic of Eurovision pre-selections, sadly Belgium wasn't brave enough to select it in 2008 year.

    Gina Von Glasow

    Country : Switzerland

    My song choice : Shoot The Radio

    Other favourite songs :

    Confess : www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzFom5qG_9c

    Left With An Idiot : www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjJDLXPzCGU

    Silent Roads : www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB7BSh9_ApA

    I like to introduce "one-album wonder" definition. There are already enough acts, who recorded one wonderful album with some big hits on it. I recommend to listen Gina's "Loose Cannon Poetry" for all fans of pure pop.

    Hardcore Eurovision fans possibly heard "Left With An Idiot" from Swiss pre-selection.

    Cats U.K

    Country : United Kingdom

    My song choice : Luton Airport

    Other favourite songs :

    Sixteen Looking For Love : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj7zpVGrOVs

    When two very good songs are enough for top 100 acts. "Luton Airport" is my favourite girl group song from 20th century.

    I'm not a fan of Belinda's big hits, but love her music material from early 90s.

    Clodagh was a fave when I was a kid and teen, loved her first 2 hits, and Eurovision song was good too, and Lady Love Bug was fun, I managed to tape that off the radio at the time. Save Me was fab in 1976 too. Marina's had some good stuff over the last decade or so, too, but my love is for Clodagh, being old and all that 😄
