My Week In Lists - Girl Power

I've been in Somerset this weekend, seeing Hubby's family, so excuse the short/late post today. I haven't really discussed my passion for music that much on the blog yet, so this week my list is of my top 10 female artists, in the name of girl power and all that. They might not be the greatest vocalists ever, but they're special to me :)

10. Taylor Swift

9. Regina Spektor

8. Hannah Clark/Arthur/FOE

7. Joanna Newsom

6. Courtney Love/Hole

5. Dusty Springfield

4. Nicola Roberts/Girls Aloud

3. Beyonce/Destiny's Child

2. Robyn

and at number 1, it is of course, The Legendary Miss herself

Britney Spears!

The reason Miss Spears is my number one gal pal for a number of reasons, even though she's totally crazy, because she's totally crazy. I've loved her since I was a wee lass when I used to dance around my bedroom with my 'Oops I Did It Again' album on repeat and I've adored her ever since. I love her constant reinvention, her voice and, well, pretty much everything about her. I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few years ago, and yes, it was ridiculously expensive and yes, she did mime for most of it, but even so, I still got to see Britney Spears - that was enough for me!

Have you ever been to a concert where you almost didn't care how the performance was, you were just so excited to be there? I think maybe it's maybe more of a pop music phenomenon than anything else, and I'm ok with it being a little bit ridiculous. Who have I missed off my list that you think is the bee's knees? Leave me a comment and I'll check them out.
