(no subject)
Now on, once in a while, I'll be posting lists of my favourite phenomena/persons, and who/what I dislike - less often.
It's a great pleasure to kick off the whole thing with the list of my Favourite female singers. Primary criterion is vocal (or talent, if you like), which means you may come across a very unfamiliar name. On the other hand, quite a few mainstream dolls didn't make the list.
Note that some of the ladies are not anymore living.

Of course, I might have missed someone (but not more than 3-5 persons). Others who aren't here just aren't meant to be.
