10 influential women in music
I appreciate a sexy woman as much as the next guy. Maybe more, depending on who the next guy is and if he even likes women, but if you came here looking for someone to perpetuate some antiquated sexist perspective, you might be disappointed.
The list I have compiled is not about the singer with the longest legs or shapeliest curves. The “hotness” refers to the artistic streak these women are experiencing. Sex appeal never hurts in show biz, but devoid of talent and discipline, it can only take you so far. Unless your name is Hilton or Kardashian, and then apparently, the sky’s the limit.
Using the metaphor that Katy Perry borrowed from Helen Reddy these are the women “roaring” loudest, and carving the musical footprint for females of their era.
Carrie Underwood: This “Okie from Muskogee” makes Merle Haggard proud. Little known fact: During Underwood’s run in American Idol’s Top 12, she consistently won voting every week by a landslide to ultimately capture the title. Her songs speak to a broader range of fans than most country singers. She plays guitar and piano, and her combination of sweet, southern humility and ain’t-gonna-stand-for-it gumption make her undeniably appealing.
