... but it must be said. Women are the only ones making great music these days!!!! In fact, I'll make a list of all the women in various genres who are doing the damn thing!!!
(alphabetically? Why not!)

Girls Aloud
Fiona Apple
Mary J. Blige
Toni Braxton
Cassie
Ciara
Mariah Carey
Neko Case
Dixie Chicks
Kelly Clarkson
Sheryl Crow
Keyshia Cole
Hilary Duff
Missy Elliot
Faith Evans
Fantasia
Feist
Nelly Fiurtado
Ayumi Hamasaki
Faith Hill
Utada Hikaru
Leela James
Jojo
Kelis
Lil' Kim
Sleater-Kinney
Jenny Lewis (& the Watson twins)
Lindsay Lohan
LeToya Luckett
Madonna
Remy Martin
M.I.A.
Christina Milian
Cat Power
Rihanna
Leann Rimes
Ashlee Simpson
Shakira
Shawnna
Sugababes
Gwen Stefani
Carrie Underwood
The Veronicas
Lee Ann Womack

And these are just off the top of my head. Off course, we still have others:
- Heavy hitters like Christina still coming along
- Those desperate for real stardom like Amerie and quite possibly J-Simp, especially if And the Band Played On is so bad it's good (which is looking like more and more of a possiblilty)
- Underrated talents like Stacie Orrico and Fefe Dobson
- Surely female-fronted bands like Evanescence and Paramore count, as well?
- Foreign talents like Regina Spektor and Lady Sovereign
- Dormant talents like Bjork, Jill Scott, Shelby Lynne, and India Aire. (And Avril for Muggie)
- Most importantly, the three princesses of pop are all making comebacks - Britney, Janet, and KYLIE!!!

Of course, there are some women that make crappy music: PCD, Corrine Bailey Rae, Minogue Jnr, Aly and AJ. But they cannot - and will not - ruin my ultimate point.

Look at all of these amazing artists - they all have two things in common:
They produce nothing but classics
and they have vaginas.

Also, look at how many great MALE artists there are actively working today? NONE. ZERO. SORRY.

Women rule, men drool. I just wish all of the men would get the hint? Maybe this world would be a better place.

Now everyone can discuss!

3 words, 2 people:
Tegan and Sara

I'll take that into consideration.
Also, I have to block other people (CHAD) off:
Joss Stone doesn't count because she doesn't make good music. In that respect, she's just as bad as the men.

And, I'm so silly, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well! (but they make good music, I just forgot to put them on)

You forgot KT Tunstall!

No I didn't.

No Pink or Jewel?

You put in CIARA and leave off KT.

You sicken me.

WORD

Also new Nelly Furtado is amazing, she really stepped up her game, she's making the best songs of her career.

I second that. kthx.

*Raises Hand*

Dumb question but, Is there a Men's History Month?

LMAO, Bart.

But seriously....
Girls Aloud
Cassie (this girl is just now learning how to hold a note..."Me & U" is hot though)
Neko Case (her f'ing name is f'ing annoying!)
Hilary Duff (*shoots*)
Ayumi Hamasaki (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Lil' Kim
Lindsay Lohan
Remy Martin (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Ashlee Simpson (still a guilty pleasure though)

^They produce classics ?_?

I think Joss Stone makes good music..
better than alot of those poptarts up there anyway.

Yes, yes they do. HATER.

Also, I just remembered more women that really make men entirely irrevalent!
ANNIE
ROBYN
etc.

And, we'll add Pink and Jewel to quiet down the hecklers in the back.

it's funny that names like hilary , whotada , rihanna come to your mind before Alicia Keys.

Beyonce needs to be there

Um, yes, but Alicia and Beyonce aren't CURRENTLY making music, are they? Maybe if you two learned to read, you would understand why they're not there.

But yes, they are geniuses. So is Anastacia, for that matter. All three are better than any of their male counterparts.

maybe if you learned to* write.
