Best Female Pop Singers

The Top Ten

Taylor Swift

Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter, born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. She developed a strong interest in country music around the age of nine after watching a Faith Hill documentary. Swift moved to Nashville as a teenager and, after signing with RCA Records, began... read more

I love Taylor Swift. I'm not into boyfriends yet or anything, and I don't really like songs about breakups. But Taylor Swift writes them in a way that isn't boring, like "UGH, I hate this. This person just keeps singing, 'I broke up with someone. I was in love, blah blah blah...'" No, T-Swift is much better than that.
I mean, she has dated so many people, but it makes sense. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. I don't like makeup, and some people don't look all that great with it on, but Taylor rocks it!
I love Bad Blood, Wildest Dreams, Shake It Off, Trouble, and all her other songs that I can't name because there are so many. She's written myriads of songs!
Love YOU!

Ok. Good. This is right. Tay Tay is in first place. If she wasn't, I would cry. I mean, she's so good. Name a star that can dance in heels, has the 5'11 height, has the beauty, can write so many beautiful songs, gives to charity, knows how to wear clothes, is a good role model, and cares about her fans! If you name a star that does all these, please reply. If no one replies, it means that I am right (I am, but you probably think I don't). Come on, fight me, punch me with your replies! Go ahead!
Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande‑Butera (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her four‑octave vocal range has earned widespread critical praise, and her personal life continues to attract significant media attention. She has received numerous honors, including two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award... read more

She's so good that they didn't even care if she wasn't the best at songwriting!!!
Oh yeah, and it's not letting me sign in to add, but can somebody add Sabrina Carpenter? She's not here.

I love Ariana so much. Her voice is beautiful, and she has dealt with so much in her life, including her ex dying, which is traumatic. If you don't like her music, you should still like her. She's kind and compassionate and deserves all the happiness.

She is the definition of pop music. She is the Queen of Pop. Her voice is just so magical with those high notes, and she goes so well with Justin Bieber.
Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.
Early in her career, she performed at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2007, as part of "Lady Gaga & The Starlight Revue," where she was noticed by Interscope Records executive Vincent... read more

Gaga has a wide vocal range. She can do a full-blown contralto, an operatic vocal style, and even sing-rap in a Caribbean accent. She is highly innovative with the recreation and overall production of her music.

Honestly, one of the most underrated artists in terms of talent and true understanding of music.

She is a Grammy record-holder! Just with 'The Fame,' she has more album sales than all of Katy Perry's albums combined! Gaga is really an ICON in Pop!
Christina Aguilera

Christina María Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. She rose to fame in the late 1990s with hits like "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants," and she later showcased her vocal power in songs like "Beautiful" and "Hurt." Throughout her career, she's explored a range of... read more

Ok, I'm going to preface this with the proviso that I don't really like pop music all that much. But Christina is the voice of her generation, for God's sake! Her vocals are flawless, and she is a true artist that has lost none of her touch. She even has managed to not go off the deep end (*cough Miley) or go crazy (*cough Britney).

She has an amazing voice. I have high expectations for her next album.

One of the most powerful singers out there.
Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi) is an American former singer and actress. She was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. As a child, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows, such as The Mickey Mouse Club, before signing with Jive Records in... read more

She's the best. Look up her career since the MMC, Star Search, Off-Broadway. When have your favorites? She's done it all. She shared understudies with Natalie Portman on Off-Broadway, competed on a national TV singing competition, and she's the best dancer music has ever seen. Look at her videos. She's magical. There's something different about her.

She will always be the princess of pop. She has collaborated with Michael Jackson and Madonna. Her songs, videos, and performances are so iconic that no female singer in 2020 can reach that level.
Selena Gomez

Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She's best known for her hit songs "Come & Get It," "Good for You," "Same Old Love," and "It Ain't Me," as well as her starring role as Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place. While described as a mezzo-soprano with a vocal range often in the alto... read more

Selena Gomez
Who says she's not pretty? Check out the top 3 prettiest Disney Channel females.
Who says she's not generous? She's the youngest ambassador of UNICEF.
Who says she can't sing? She has two gold hit albums.
Who says she has no fans? I am a fan talking to you now.
If you think that she isn't any of these, then you are bonkers! Selena Gomez is really an amazing and beautiful singer! I will be a Selenator forever!

Selena Gomez is way better than Taylor Swift. Selena should be number 1, not her.

Selena is my favorite singer. I would love to see her in 1st place among the best female artists!
Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known as Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress, and has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2013.

A true female artist who can sing and write great songs. She has very great messages and meanings behind her songs and very creative music videos. Katy is also very gorgeous and I love her from the bottom of my heart. Love you, Katy. Keep up the good work.

I love Katy Perry! She is so awesome! Demi Lovato and P!nk come in second and third, but Katy deserves the top spot! She is such a nice person! This is my list of favorite singers (just my top 3):
1. Katy Perry
2. Demi Lovato
3. P!nk
Most Hated:
Taylor Swift
Nicki Minaj
Lady Gaga
Mariah Carey

One of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, only at number 22. Mariah deserves the top 10 at least.

Deserves to be in the top ten at least. Her voice and range are simply unbelievable.

Greatest voice on the planet, except maybe Sarah McLachlan's.
Madonna

She has influenced many artists, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyoncé Knowles, and Britney Spears. Often referred to as the "Queen of Pop," she has played a significant... read more

The Only Queen Of Pop There EVER Was! All the other names on this list were inspired by Madonna. Madonna's been around for nearly three decades, sold more than 360 million records worldwide, and left a legacy that is unmatched by any artist - male, female, or band. She writes her own songs, composes her own music, invents her own dance moves, and has innovated the music industry to an extent greater than any other artist.
She's experimented with every genre of music and has had all her singles chart on the top of international charts! Long Live The Madonna Mania! Madonna FOREVER! She's irreplaceable, incomparable, and inarguably the most talented artist that ever lived, or ever will. We all will die, Madonna will die, but her music will survive the test of time. Queen Of Pop, Queen Of Reinvention, Mistress Of Music, Queen Of Dance, Queen Of Everything Music!

She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is popularly described as a lyric mezzo soprano, with a vocal range... read more

She is one of the greatest singers on Earth. She can sing live. All her songs are amazing. She is so hot and pretty and has a childish act that makes her complete. I love her so much. She should be in the top ten. She sings pop, rock, solo, and rap nowadays. She is born full of talent. Her latest style is copied by many stars. But no one actually accepts it because they know Miley is the best. Go Miley. We Smilers are always with you.

Love you, Miley. I used to watch Hannah Montana every day. I'm sure Hannah Montana is much more than any other show on Disney. You're my favorite Disney star, and second is Selena. My favorite pop stars are Miley, Selena, Demi, and Taylor Swift. You rock. I love you and you are the best of all. Keep going...

Somebody explain why she is this low. She does kind of sing against Christianity, but her music is catchy, and she has a really good voice!!
Oh yeah, and it's not letting me sign in to add, but can somebody add Sabrina Carpenter? She's not here.

Sabrina Carpenter

The Contenders

Celine Dion

Céline Marie Claudette Dion is a Canadian singer and businesswoman. She's best known for "My Heart Will Go On," the theme song of the 1997 film Titanic, which was the first film in history to gross over $1 billion worldwide.

She has no talent in songwriting, but God! She has an angel's voice! She sounds original live, too.

Placement needs some work. However, do credit her for keeping her vocal cords in shape.

Joan Sutherland, the greatest soprano of the 20th century, thought Céline's voice in color and range was unmatched in the field of pop. We'll see in another twenty years how she and the others listed here stack up.
Beyonce

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who began her career as lead singer of Destiny's Child. The group scored multiple Billboard No. 1 hits including "Say My Name," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Survivor," "Independent Women," and "Bootylicious." After their split,... read more

A vocal range to compare with Whitney. What a voice! She could be Streisand if she did musicals. Completely underrated because she is an artist of color. She could blow all those other divas away with a colossal song and dance. I'm rooting for you, Bey!

One peek at any of her songs would put her on the top ten list.
Annie Lennox

Ann "Annie" Lennox is a Scottish singer, songwriter, political activist, and philanthropist. She rose to fame in the 1980s as the lead singer of the Eurythmics, known for hits like "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)."

She is the VOICE! All the other singers on the list would cry if they had to perform with her. Nobody sings better than Whitney Houston.

Often regarded as one of the best singers in the industry.

She rose to international fame in the late 1990s with Latin pop hits and has sold over 85 million records worldwide. Shakira is also known for her philanthropic work through her... read more

No. 4! She's better than all above, not just that, but below as well! Well, obviously! Go Shaki!

She is an amazing artist and dancer. Her music is always different, including genre and tempo.
Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Brianne Clarkson is an American singer, songwriter, and children's book author. She rose to fame in 2002 after winning the inaugural season of American Idol, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records. Clarkson's debut single, "A Moment Like This," topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and became... read more

Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen higher than Kelly? Oh please, you have to be kidding! Kelly Clarkson is one of the greatest voices of this generation. The other two sing horribly live, while Kelly's voice just blows you away. She has an amazing range and a beautiful timbre of voice, plus she sings just as incredibly live as in her albums.
She is one of those singers who doesn't have to look like a skeleton or like a slut (sorry for the term used) to reach certain people or become more famous. Her amazing voice is all she needs! Her songs are wonderful, they have meaning and are heartfelt, and you can identify with each one of them depending on your mood.
Moreover, she doesn't really care about what anyone says about her. She's so down-to-earth that you feel she's real, that you could perfectly be her friend. I really think this amazing singer should be in the Top 5!
Rihanna

Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, Barbados. She began her music career in 2003 by recording demo tapes with producer Evan Rogers and eventually signed with Def Jam Records after an audition for Jay-Z. Rihanna... read more

She's really cool! When she sings, she puts her heart into it.
She inspires people, at least me, to be who you want to be and just ignore the people who judge you!

Well, Avril is awesome, and I love her.
But up here, there are more beautiful and talented singers! Love ya, Avril!

Yeah, my opinion: Avril is great, and I love her so much.
Her songs, her albums - I love them all. I miss you so much, Avril.
From a true fan, Arun.

She's regarded as one of the most influential entertainers of her time, credited with breaking barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and helping propel... read more

Jennifer Lopez is simply great in everything she does and at least as beautiful and sexy a performer as any other woman listed here, even more so (in my humble opinion). She performs with the same kind of energy and integrity as Madonna, has the singing pipes of Janet Jackson, and kicks up her heels with the best of them, including Bette Midler and Tina Turner in their prime.
Jennifer Lopez truly loves being there for her fans, and no one works harder to give their fans everything they can give and more. A true inspiration.

She should be a lot higher. Better singer.
Adele

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, born May 5, 1988, is an English singer and songwriter. She graduated from the BRIT School in 2006 and signed with XL Recordings after a demo posted on Myspace gained attention. She's best known for emotional ballads like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, and Easy... read more

Probably the best voice to come onto the scene in the last ten years. Every time I hear a new song from her, I get blown away.

Her technique is excellent. I would even say she is underrated.
Kylie Minogue

Impossible to find any voice like hers. Best singer EVER! Waiting impatiently for the new No Doubt album. Why not number 1?

She is better than Taylor Swift. Why can't she be higher?
