    Just listening to some PJ Harvey and it’s pure class.

    Who’s ya fave then?

    Amy Winehouse – great singer/songwriter, just a shame about all the other baggage in her life.

    I got accused of being sexist by an ex because of thinking most female artists are a bit…. sh1te.

    Nina Simone is fantastic however.
    Ellie Goulding is pretty good of more modern stuff.

    That’s why I’ve started this, I agree that generally most female artists are cr4p, there is also some quality out there. So llet’s have them…. 😆

    Sia has vocalised the likes of zero7 in the past but I really like her solo work.

    I love a decent duet – not cheesy slushy stuff, the perfect example would be PJ Harvey with Thom Yorke, then there’s the stuff Damo Rice did with the lass he sings with – some great spine tinglers there.

    Off to see Lissie again next month too.

    Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Bjork, Janis Joplin for me and that Florence can belt it out.

    The whole thread is about women and therefore sexist. 🙄

    [/i]There lots of excellent female vocal artists out there, however the majority dont get enough attention or recognition because they are not marketed solely on there ability to flaunt their wares![i]

    IMHO all these have excellent voices.

    it’s not sexist to discuss women unless you go on to disadvantage them in some way

    Which album? I’ve only got Kala which i think is quite good but I think she’s got a couple of others. Seems like a pretty cool character

    Thats because she isnt a vocal masterpiece. She’s a nice bit of eye candy that can sing ok compared to some of those listed above.

    Admittedly she does have a nice ass, but thats pretty much what she restarted / marketed her career on…
