Neil Young is fantastic, if ya like caterwauling

Also, don't know why y'all hate on Lady Gaga. She's incredibly talented.

As far as a very popular performer goes that had absolutely no business singing, Paula Abdul was just horrible. Probably the worst that top 10 Billboard has ever seen.


fixed...lol

That was exceptionally stupid in several ways.

What I hate about it most is it occasionally gets stuck in my head, which makes me want to blow my head off into a thousand tiny pieces.

She sounds like she should be doing disney movies. Kind of reminds me of Kristin Chenoweth when she's doing her "show tunes" voice. Did a concert with her several years ago and it was just fucking painful to listen to that woman.

She has a great, well trained voice..Her style is a little too Broadway/Showtunish for me, but she is very good...
As far a female singers go, I think Adele is really good

I am not a big country fan, but Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel.

Some of the hair metal bands were pretty solid. That really was the golden age of good guitarists (even if they didn't put it to good use due to the shitty writing).

Many of the hair metal bands put in a good show. Kelly Clarkson puts on a great show. The band is really good. I'll tell you who sucks are all the digitized female vocalists with no backing band. It's a lipsynching dance show like the friggin ice capades.

Meh, they were marketed for 13-17 y/o girls...hence the term girl bands.

Did some have talented musicians, absolutely. Yet, is talent being wasted not considered wasted talent?.

She won a national singing contest without the benefit of auto tune. Whether her music suits your taste or not doesn't make her a bad singer or the worst performer.

I concede, she sings well/has nice range.

So did Madonna, who did nothing to further pop music.

Madonna doesn't have the pipes Clarkson has. However, claiming Madonna did nothing to further pop music makes little sense.

You can't think of modern pop music without thinking about her. There would be no Britney, no Christina, no Pussycat Dolls and no Lady GaGa without her. From the second that she burst onto the scene in the early '80s, her presence has permeated almost every facet of pop. Her influence is everywhere, and she's not going anywhere either.

Today's more-flamboyant female pop stars enjoy the freedom to make music and perform the way they do, but they didn't create that freedom, says Howard Kramer, curatorial director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Madonna -- who is performing Tuesday at Consol Energy Center in Uptown -- did the moving and shaking when she burst onto the pop-music charts in the early '80s, he says, and followed with hit after hit.

"Madonna and the career she carved out for herself made possible virtually every other female pop singer to follow," Kramer says. "She certainly raised the standards of all of them.

"She redefined what the parameters were for female performers," he says about Madonna. "She is, without question, the most important female artist, and one of the most important artists of the last half-century."

I agree, should have worded this more appropriately:

Madonna did more to ruin music than any other artist in U.S history.
Yeah. She only earned $125 mil last year as the top female artist. Her MDNA tour made in the neighborhood of $305 mil. It sounds like she absolutely ruined it for many people.
