Your Top 5 Favourite Current Female Solo Singers?

StratusSphere · 23/06/14 - 09:58

That is; singers who are currently active. This thread takes its cue from the top 5 fave current groups thread.

I've gone for female solo singers because there's quite a lot of them - and because I personally can't think of 5 males off the top of my head.

Ideas?

Leona Lewis (absolutely amazing voice, can't wait for her comeback. I think she's going to slay.)

Rihanna (always on the ball, hit after hit. Such a massive superstar.)

Katy Perry (great pop songs, good image. Not to overly sexual.)

Kelly Clarkson (great voice. Love the rock vibe in her voice. Underrated artists.)

Iggy Azalea (on the way to becoming a massive star. Love her style. Doesn't overdo the rapping.)
