Clyde, if they don't want to use His name, they should take themselves out of the "gospel" category and called themselves contemporary Christian or something generic and loosely associate with true gospel music. Come on, YOU KNOW if someone is going to call themselves country, you gotta and gonna hear a "woe is me" story told in that song. You know if somebody raps, you gonna hear certain things, well, if you tell me it is gospel, I don't expect for them to shirt around saying Jesus! An entire album??? I can understand one song. Actually I don't think Marvin Sapp says Jesus in Never Would Have Made It, a song we know will go down in history as one of the greatest, but you have no doubt by the vibe of the song and the rest of the album where he stands. Here’s the clincher with that album Tom speaks about, one day I watching a soap opera and they had a very steamy love scene. Guess what they were playing? Yes, one of Bebe and Cece songs from that said album. How degrading to my Lord if in fact it was suppose to be a song about Him. I think they did it to sell more albums but the question is, did they sell out???

Hey MiMi. Long time no hear from. Welcome back. I know, I know -- me forgetting Tina is not good. Now on to Mary, the debates we had were about you liking her ONLY when things were going bad for her. She's still come a long way. Which reality show are you talking about?

Girl you must've been having a bad day. How could you forget Tina? I know we had this debate before but I still dont think Mary has a voice. If you put her on the list its like putting that Girl (I forgot her name) - the one with the reality show where her mom is a recovering addict and her family is a hot mess. Taylor Dane? Wasnt she a one hit wonder? Well if we're doing one hit wonders count Karen White- you remember "Superwoman".

I know I'm late but in what way is Beyone excellent. She doesnt have a voice. She has some nice club songs with cute little hooks but she is by no means an excellent singer. She's come a ways but still has a long way to go.

So I guess you would have no problem going to a church where a preacher substituted "him" for Jesus? Don't you think the better question is why would she make a total album and exclude the name.

Concerning Mariah, are we using record sales to judge how good someone is? If that is the case maybe Brittany Spears should be on the list.

i cant see what mariah is wearing when i'm listening to all her multi platinum records and cd's. the onliest thing i know is, is that it sounds good.
get off of cece!!!!! she is awesome. how u gonna tell somebody what words to use when they sing? u write some songs and let people judge you. where is it written that a singer who sings a song, that we put a gospel tag on, has to say the name Jesus or God a certain amount of times thru out the song? get over it and write your own songs.

MJB always has some hits on her albums. Yes, I agree that she doesn't have the best voice, but she sings with emotion which is a time-tested recipe for success. Now, sometimes it is a little too much emotion for me, but still I like the fact that she isn't standing there like a statue (Ruben Studdard).

Mariah Carey doesn't have one of the best voices of all time no matter how many records she sells. Like I said, take away the short skirts and see how good of a singer she is. Don't go by sales, listen to her and tell me she is really that good. Do you think Alicia Keys can sing good too?

You konw you wrong for even mentioning Ashanti......oh baby! lol

Man she is still kicking just because of her name.. I too do not care at all for her ghetto look and ugly tattoos.. But she still does makes two hits an album, but that doesn't say much in a world where soulja boy is "hot".. give me a nice beat and a catchy dance, and i can make a hit too. Matter of fact.. im about to go to the lab and make one..

mariah carey is not even debatable, she's the top selling female singer of all time, that says it all. i love mariah caey, can't stand mjb. OMG, now mjb is the one who can't sing too good. have you heard her live? wow. don't care for her ghetto, tatooed look either.

You really think Mariah Carey can sing good? When I say good I mean compared with all the other singers on these lists. I just don't think so.

Remember, this is about singing, not about what someone is wearing. If you put Mariah on stage with Jill Scott and didn't let her wear skimpy clothes she might get embarassed.

Someone mentioned my comments about CeCe and I didn't respond. I'm critical of her because she has played with fire and I think she should explain herself. That is a difference between her and the other singers I mentioned.

Man, Never Say Never was the best from Brandy! She hasn't been able to top that.

India Arie - I do like her. Okay, she should've been on the list. My bad.

I think you should put together the Male edition so we can post it. :--)

Re: And the Winners Are: (Best Female Singers/Groups)

Kendall Blake — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:10:20 -0000

Ok, maybe I got carried away with Erykah Badu.. plus she turned a top 10 rapper of all time (Andre 3000) into a cupcake "Hey Ya" lookin dude..

And I guess I am biased with Brandy since that "Never Say Never" cd was one of my weapons of choice in the middle school/freshman year days..

Another pure voice is Indie Arie.. she's not your average girl from the videos...

Is there a Male edition of this post coming up?? That might be harder to compose than the females..

Re: And the Winners Are: (Best Female Singers/Groups)

ksawyer123 — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:49:57 -0000

LOL! Sorry Kendall about Lauryn HIll. She has a decent voice - just not 'one of the best.'

Though Destiny's Child has outsold En Vogue in sales, En Vogue still has them beat when it comes to singing!

I forgot about Deborah Cox - she should be on the list because I agree she is underrated. Brandy and Erykah Badu - I like them both, but on a top 10 list - nah! Maybe a top 20.

Re: And the Winners Are: (Best Female Singers/Groups)

Kendall Blake — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:59:33 -0000

(..Lord forgive anyone who has post and not mentioned Lauryn Hill's name...)
now on with my post..

Wow, Destiny's Child.. the female group with the most records sold ever... yes EVER.. #3?

and... I am no music god, but lets clear up some things..

Mariah Carey CAN sing..
Destiny's Child is killin En Vogue.. and always will
um.. "Somebody's suppose to be here" - Debroah Cox (soooo under rated)
Can someone at least mention Aaliyah's name?
Ill get ripped for this one, but maybe the #3 on pop should be Brandy.. at least put her on the list..
Erykah Badu!
ASHANTI!!!! just playing..

Hey EmpressGladys. Welcome to 7daybuzz. I am so glad you vehemently oppose JUST the R&B; list! But, you have to put things into perspective though. The R&B; list is comprised of both new and old artists. Hence, the arrangement. Now, if it was just based on older R&B;, of course the order of the list would be different and it would (maybe) be more to your liking. As far as Chaka Khan, she still may or may not be included. As far as I'm concerned, she was good when she was with Rufus -- after that -- questionable.

EMPRESSGLADYS — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 06:10:50 -0000

EMPRESS OF SOUL GLADYS KNIGHT, number 9, QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN, number 5, (and only because of her early stuff), no Chaka Khan? You sound young, uninformed; and you can't really be taken seriously. This is just your opinion, though!!!!

Hi R&B Fan. Welcome to 7daybuzz. These lists are just personal opinions. I forgot about Xscape. Understanding was the song back then! I agree with you about there being so many talented women - it is really difficult to choose all of them.

Hi bonoriau. Welcome to 7daybuzz.

Hrmmm, what were the credentials here? There were so many great girl groups and I'm curious how you chose the ones you did. I loved For Real and Xscape during the 90s, and then you've got Eternal over in the UK who were wonderful.

As evidence, I offer up Xscape - Understanding, For Real - Saddest Song I Ever Heard, and Eternal - Angel of Mine.

Regardless, these are some great choices! So many great women in music.. if only more were active now.

Let me clarify - I'm not sure about Diana Ross as a solo artist. With the Supremes, she was good.
