I'm glad to see this category make a comeback.
Last time around there were very few nominations for female singers or groups with a female lead singer, but adding the category has really made the difference here.
I'm backing Bonnie Tyler because she's f*cking awesome.
Dolly Parton is simply the best female country singer ever.
I've also thrown Cher's name into the hat. She's done enough great songs in her time to merit induction.
Kate Bush is a very inventive artist with a great and unique voice.
Belinda Carlisle, I just think her voice is great and she's recorded some great tracks.
What more do you need?
