No, I wouldn't actively listen to her music, but there's no denying that she actually has talent, which is something a lot of mainstream female singers don't actually have.

Aguilera is a great singer with terrible style. Unlike Lee, she has all the tools.

Do you actually believe that people are saying you can't like her? Come on, Penner.

She's not above average. She's actually kind of below average, and way below if you're talking professional vocalists.

This, again, really isn't debatable. You're allowed to like her, you're allowed to love her, you can think she's awesome, but that probably just means you have poor pitch perception or you like crap. You tend to like whatever pop act comes along, so I'm guessing the latter. But when you talk about her skills, she doesn't have many.

This isn't the grand persecution you make it out to be.

And to answer the question:

You need only look through the thread for previous reasons stated. Come on, you can't have missed them; you even argued some of the points.

Of these choices I do go in order of Amy Lee, Hayley Williams, and Avril Lavigne. But I would also nominate Lacey from Flyleaf and Christina Scabbia.

Aside from growling and grunting, Lacey is unspectacular. She tends to sing in a really pinched nasally voice that sounds like she listened to a Letters to Cleo record and tried to copy Kay Hanley verbatim.

What are you talking about?

You seem to have a hard on for such acts as Panic at the Disco and MCR. Since you like those, and Avril Lavigne and Hailey, it's safe to say you like plenty of other 'radio phenomenons', who make their success from MTV saying it's cool to like them.

lol no I don't like Panic at The Disco and MCR. Maybe their first CDs before they got famous but I was only chirping the fact that so many losers go to those festivals just to bottle bands.

I'm not a mainstreamer by any means, I was just commenting on the fact that I enjoy these three female singers.

I can't get into any of these singers' work.

I would be able to get into evanecense, but I've heard Lacuna Coil, so there goes that.
