Female Vocalists (That useless tag on Last FM... is quite useful)

[AK'z]

Okay men, we have a whole new side of personality to dig into.

Women.

Post your favourite female artists, and don't hold back for thinking you'll be rated gay or something because having love for female artistry isn't at all.

Stick with this thread for a while, if you find that you have actually enjoyed some or found a heart in some songs, go further with that artist.

It's not wrong to dislike female artists, but I don't think girls will like that about you. :3:

[QUOTE=AK'z;30390403]I'm surprised 2 people whom I expected to see post Gaga have not done so. :raise:[/QUOTE]

Considered posting Gaga and Ke$ha but Gaga isn't cool enough and Ke$ha would just be asking for hate.

[mikeyt493]

lady gaga is always cool enough

[Cypher_09]

Why does everybody hate Ke$ha? I know nothing about her...:ohdear:

[AK'z]

[QUOTE=Teto;30390432]Considered posting Gaga and Ke$ha but Gaga isn't cool enough and Ke$ha would just be asking for hate.[/QUOTE]

If you're proud enough to do it then posting them would make sense. But if you do it while looking a burk then it won't work. :v:

Lucky, lucky man.

I kid :v:

[Cypher_09]

I love Lady Gaga.

Maybe not [i]all[/i] of her music...but the ones I do love, I think are great.

Especially her live performances where she really pushes herself vocally and instrumentally.

Haha, I just realised why you rated me friendly.

You must be proud to have had such a great female Israeli singer. :buddy:

Nah, I don't really like either of them enough to post them actually so derp. Lady Gaga's music is alright, but just not very interesting at all most of the time. And I like the way Ke$ha's voice is autotuned sometimes, but her voice isn't really all that interesting either, otherwise.

[Cypher_09]

How can you [i]like[/i] autotune? It's not natural :ohdear:

Depends on how it's used.
