Beyonce is pure pop and always has been.

Her skin colour is the reason her music is declared RnB.

Well said! It's the f**king truth.

Joss Stone is white and ENGLISH and does "R&B" better than most African American women!

Lisa Kekuala from the BellRays is quite possibly my fav all time female vocalist and she doesn't get anywhere near the amount of props than most singers that havee been mentioned.

Most people might be familiar with that Basement Jaxx track "Good Luck". Anyway, the woman doing the vocals on that is Lisa Kekuala. I've had the pleasure of seeing her twice with the bellrays and she's amazing. Think a young Tina Turner leading the MC5 or the Stooges. Just this big, black, charistamtic soul mumma with a big f**k off afro and an even bigger attitude fronting a bunch of white boys (shes married to the bass player) who themselves are phenomenal players in their own right!

Most pop acts these days are pretty decent singers. It's the songs that bring them down...

Michelle Branch. I think she has a really sexy voice, alternates between light and soft and girly and angry in an "I want to kick you in the nuts!" way.

I think Heidi's a good singer, not that great, good for rock.

most of those on the can list, I cant really stand. :x Whitney Houston, Amy Lee, Sinead O'Connor, Mariah Carey. ARRRGGHHH

I rate Pink, at least he voice isnt too high pitched and doesnt drag on.

Shirley Mason's a pretty good female rock singer.

Whats happened to Garbage recently??

Those ones except Amy Lee i don't like either but they have pretty amazing voices. Saw Evanescence a few months back and Amy Lee was spot on
right from the first note, her voice is unbelievable.

I rate Pink, at least he voice isnt too high pitched and doesnt drag on.

She's definately an entertainer, not a huge fan of her voice though.. SHe knows how to stir sh*te though which is always good.

Add Holly Valance to the list.

Tammin Sursock. Did well leaving H&A to move to a singing career. :roll: :lol:

I think Bassingwaite was a singer before she was in Neighbours, not that great anyway.

Hence the " " marks around "R&B"..... I'm of the same opinion as you. R&B is slapped on people depending on their skin colour and not they vocal talent....

She's lost her "puppy fat" but the thing that gets me about her and the thing that makes her attractive is that she's very "womanly". Not skin and bones like Amy Winehouse. Has nice curves and photographs well, too.
