Etta, Tina, Nina and Sade are some nice, inspired picks! Good on you, ATRL. I'm glad this list has some merit to it.
What I like about Amy and Adele is that they are both fantastic vocal interpreters. I don't know, nor do I care, whether they are technically proficient. Their music moves me.
I didn't vote for Britney, and she is clearly too high. But how can anyone deny that she has one of the most important and iconic voices of her generation? There's a reason for that, and it should count for something.
I can't believe ****ing Rihanna made the top ten. Disgusting. Almost as disgusting as that shrieker being in it.

I really doubt that Rihanna made it on the list either. If this was really a stan heavy vote, why would Gaga end up 20th? She has more stans than Rihanna, and I doubt the Rihanna fans are as convinced of their fave's vocal prowess.

At least if Rih makes the list now, then it'll show the Monsters are less biased than the Navy. (No flamebait here, the same could be said about Ke$ha, Katy, Nicki etc. ).
I'm praying for Cher to make the top 10.
I'm also pretty angry that Florence didn't make the list.
Unless that's one of the surprises, Ace?

Rihanna making the top 10 might just be the most ridiculous thing that's happened in a countdown/rate so far. And considering how messy some of the rates have been, that says a lot.
Anyways, the rest of the top 10 seems to be expected, but solid. I'm guessing Beyonce/Mariah/Whitney will be top 3, but I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
Hmm. No.
Albany Guest, you've waited long enough.

Oh ye of little faith. Florence was comfortably high throughout the voting period. I for one was shocked, but it does add up. She combines a sense of theatricality with ATRL's love of women with big, bold voices. Well done.
