Rank these female singers

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.
