All of Zara Larsson's songs are absolutely brilliant. They're varied too. Lush Life is a dance anthem, Girls Like is a great collaboration with Tinie Tempah, Never Forget You achieves the rare combination of being hauntingly beautiful and a club classic and This One's For You as Euro 2016 anthem is such a beautifully upbeat song. I can state a pretty strong case for Zara Larsson being the best female singer around

I would argue Elin Larsson of the rock band Blues Pills (who I *think* read somewhere is Zara's older sister but now can't find any confirmation of that) is honestly the best singer of the modern era.

Really evokes Janis Joplin and Anetha Franklin bit brings a lot to the table and often puts a lot of emotion behind her lyrics which adds a nice depth to the music.

...also her voice sounds absolutely amazing so that helps.

And their older brothers are Celtic legend Henrik and Dragon tattoo author Stieg?

I will judge her based on her album, not by just a few songs. An album in my opinion is a testament to a good artist of the moment as it proves they are more than just bagging a big hit.

How can anybody be considered as the best singer when they're autotuned out of existence?

Her hit from the summer, I think Lush Life, is one of the few songs from this year that I remember.

Ssssshhhh.... Don't tell everyone about Adele. She's music's best kept secret. Would be (f*****g) terrible if she ever went mainstream.

Indeed, if you leak her best song she might Set Fire to the Rain.

I think she is a great pop artist, with catchy songs. I am looking forward to hearing her first album. However, no, she isn't the best female singer around at this moment.

Adele has a great voice but her songs are too slow for me

The answer would have still been "No".

But how do we know if she can even sing at all? It's impossible to tell when it's buried in all that studio trickery.

The best female popstar at the moment has to be Carly Rae Jepsen. Zara's OK though. I love Lush Life.

No I think you'll find that accolade belongs to either Lissie or the goddess that is Florence Welch.

And certainly not this Zara Larsson tool.

We had similar to her in the early 90's in Whigfield (I take it you think she's a genius too?).

As far as I'm concerned Zara Larsson is the Aldi Rihanna. I can't stand Rihanna at the best of times and an Aryan version of Rihanna is surely just a cheap marketing ploy?

Personally I am fed up of all this Scandanavian pop trash (Yes Lukaz Graham that includes you) clogging up our charts. I wonder if once we are out of the EU we will stop being subjected to this aural torture?

Hopefully Miss Larsson will find her rightful career path (working at Costa Coffee perhaps?) and leave the singing business to real superstars like Flo Welch.
