The nature of my first post was such that I didn't realize there was a poll.

My answer to the poll was Mariah Carey.

She's something none of the others on this list (not even Beyonce) can claim: an artist. Over her last three albums, she's evolved into a genuine artist.

It's one of the most interesting things to happen in pop in the 2000s. As for Beyonce, I can say this: I am . . . Sascha Fierce IS a work of art.

Thanks for the tip!

I love me some Mariah Carey too – she is another one that doesn’t get the credit she deserves. In some ways I do compare her to Stevie. Both have made similar comments about the song writing process being just as important as the singing and almost as enjoyable, they just happen to be in different genres is all. When Mariah is on, she is ON. Stand out cuts from her career for me are:

Sent From Up Above, Can’t Let Go, Do You Think Of Me, Breakdown, Clown, I Only Wanted, Sunflowers for Alfred Roy, and my all time favorite Fly Like A Bird.

I think if you were offering a free front row seat to any of the ones on your list, I'd go with Madonna, Travis, mostly because it would be like seeing the circus.

[CreepingDeath]

Madonna and Pink are the only two from that list I like.

My answer to the poll was Pink.

My list would include:
Stevie (obviously!)
Candice Night
Pat Benatar
Ann Wilson
Loreena McKennitt
Chrissie Hynde
Debbie Harry
Grace Slick

[ButterCookie]

I've not voted because Debbie's not on there. When Blondie's new album comes out, post it again and I'll vote

Travis, this the cruelest poll ever! Britney would punch me because I had to choose Mariah. She has the greatest voice of all time, imo. Plus, she makes incredible music, and she is a gorgeous woman. I have always looked up to, and respected Mariah. The Emancipation of Mimi is one of the greatest albums ever. But still, I love Madonna and Christina. Britney is so under rated in today's world. Now she is a joke, but 10 years ago everyone was in love with her. I still love her music, and buy everything she comes out with. Madonna's supreme legacy is just epic. Christina has a much better voice than Britney, but doesn't have as many great songs. I love Beyonce, but her involvement with Lady Gaga makes me hate her. Alicia Keys Unplugged album is amazing, and she too has a great voice.


And Travis, Fly Like A Bird is an incredible song!! But Circles is my all time favorite Mariah song.

Yeah, i don't really like any of these, either.

KT Tunstall - easily my favorite "modern" artist. Watch this performance and you'll see why she is so talented. She records everything herself: the percussion and guitar and plays it live. Then she overdubs her voice live as well - AMAZING



She's so adorable in this one:





I can TOLERATE: Lady GaGa and Pink....

Hello tilthefirefades!

Glad you like Mariah, but why do you think Britney is a joke? The last CD did very well on the charts did it not? Personally, I think she should have waited one more year before making a comeback. She looked great but I don't think she was fully ready. The dancing in the videos were good but some of the live performances, eh? She still have great pop songs though.

[mylittledemon]

Out of that list... Alicia Keys & Madonna

[ILoveFM]

Out of the list, Britney! I love her. But Gaga would have my vote if she would have been on this poll. I'm kindof obsessed with the fame monster <3

Outstanding. Beth Gibbons has such an amazing voice. Sometimes, I will put "All Mine" on really loud, and wish I had a sequined evening gown to wear and a grand piano to lounge upon for the duration of the song. Oh, and a martini. Yep.

And Tori, well...she's in a league of her own.

I can't vote in this poll, because while I appreciate the technical capabilities of someone like Mariah, I don't want to listen to it on purpose. And while I enjoy watching someone like Britney Spears bound about completely unhinged, I have to do the watching with the sound off, on account of the not wanting to listen to that sort of music on purpose thing again.

I don't think she is a joke at all. I meant that others do, I guess I didn't word it the best. I have loved Britney since the beginning. I actually loved Circus, but Blackout is easily my favorite Britney album.
