i've realised that most of my friends are girls and most of the musicians i turn to are female solo artists. so here is a list. i guess it would be cool if i could see them live as well (hence the crossings out:

• Lady Gaga
• Amy Lee / Evanescence
• Rihanna
• Katy Perry
• P!nk
• Ke$ha
• Britney
• Christina Aquilera
• Robyn
• Delta Goodrem

There are also a fee females who I have a lot of time and respect for (continuing, in progress):-

• Lady Gaga, for making people brave, for using her fame to spread uplifiting messages rather than just make money, and for fighting for gay rights
• Sharon Osbourne - after reading her two autobiographies, I admire her strength after everything she has been through, her attitude and approach to life
• Ellen de generous - for being a lovely lovely lesbian, for singing and dancing and making people laugh, and helping LGBT rights

and some who I have less respect for... (love to hate!)

• Katie Price/Jordan - stop using your disaster of a personal life and your kids to make money. No one cares! People say she is a good business woman - for example, her range of books. Ghost written. She tried to be a pop star - mimed her awful single and then gave up as everyone hated her (quite right too).
• Kerry Katona - another failed showbiz personality really. Bankrupt, drugs, lack of career...
• Martine McCutcheon - All she has done is EastEnders, Love Actually and whine on and on about yoghurts...
