The Top Ten
1 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international hit singles like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, Easy On Me and the success of her second, third and fourth studio album which is 21, 25 and 30.

I'll vote for Adele today because I already voted for Taylor Swift. Katy Perry is good too, so I tried to vote for her, but technology wasn't on my side. I love Adele's songs because they are so meaningful and not just about ex-boyfriends and love. They are from the heart and not inappropriate. She says what she's feeling w/out being weird. And she has a beautiful name and a lovely face. She is SO pretty. I love Hello and Set Fire to the Rain.

Adele is the Queen.She does not need autotune, is pure talented.She is the real singer.Unlike others who buy their attention by get naked,create stupid feud,make song about ex's.

I actually think she's one of the best vocalists alive. She as a lot of talent and she has also a unique voice. But, I think that she's needs more appreciation across the globe.

Hands down Lady Gaga has the widest range out of most of the artists on this land. Just by talent she puts these singers to shame.

I vote Gaga because she had been around for over 10 years and has had multiple hit songs, won multiple awards and sold out many venues. She is also one of the best vocalists that still brings a huge show. She isn’t better than people such as Taylor swift because her songs vary, they aren’t al about relationships.

Do not dare miss the queen!

No.32!? What’s up with this list! She, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga should be the top 3! Her debut album alone outsell Ariana,Beyoncé,Selena,Miley and soooooooo many more! Her impact towards the music industry is so crazy that even her album Blackout got featured in the rock and roll cafe with legends like Beatles! All of these female artist above her could never! She has sold 200 million records itself and is known as the best selling and biggest female artist of the 21st century. She has 2 albums that have 20 million sales and above and 2 albums with above sales of 10 million! 85% of the other artist above her don’t even have ONE record that has hit 10 million and above. This list does not make sense! Britney has iconic videos like baby one more time, oops, womanizer and toxic that are such huge factors in pop culture! Let’s not forget the iconic dance moves and performances she had given us in her prime.
