Music is one of the greatest passion of my my life. I appreciate any good music be it hip hop, jazz, soul, rock, highlife, juju, apala, afro-tropical or what have u. the emphasis is on "GOOD MUSIC" but most especially i'm crazy about R&B. love songs always takes me beyond my world to a very far place where i ....... oh let me not go on and on about this. suffice it to say that i love r&b.

Now several female musicians have made this world a much more enjoyable place just by simply doing what they know how to do best.

My top 5 favorite female songsstress of the 90's are as follows;

Celine Dion
Whitney Houston
Toni Braxton
Maria Carey
Gloria Estafan

You cannot have a list of best famale R&B singers and NOT include Mariah Carey. That girl can sing if you personally like her or not!

Not in any particular order or preference:

1. Mariah Carey
2. Aalyiah
3. Lauren Hill
4. Whitney Houston
5. Sade

uhm! Sade from back in the day. yeah, that's a good one. she did good in the 90's. yeah, i think she deserves a mention. how about anita baker? don't think anyone mentioned her. she roooccked way back.

Oh, how could I have forgotten about Anita Baker?!?!

You're right, that woman can sang!

oh yeah, thats true n tina turner too

Oh, yes, Tina the survivor! I love Yolanda Adams as well; but she doesn't do R&B.

Who remembers Vanessa William's CD? Do you think she'd rank any where or is she ineligible due to her only having one album?

i don't think i've heard any of her songs before eh, dat's weird.

Yeah, it was a long time ago. Maybe early 90's along with Paula Abdul.

ooh, dat's probably why i was too busy lookin for trouble at that time

vexxy:

Former miss America? Sure I do, she had 3 big hits - "save the best for last", "comfort zone" & a cover of guinn's "dreamin".

She would definitely rank somewhere below the artistes I mentioned. The first 4 I mentioned are very sophisticated singers, Vanessa could also be aptly described as sassy...

BTW, she had more than 1 album...

As per looks, she is one hot mamma jamma (first black miss America)

http://www.vanessawilliams.de/indexengl.htm

yeah i think she has more than one album to her credit.
there's this song of hers i love so much, just cant fix the title right now. but i think it's the soundtrack for kiddies animation "Pokahontas"

Ahah! i remember, its colors of the wind. that's a good song anyday.

Oh, I wasn't aware that she had more than one album. Kudos to her!

And yes, she was a former Miss America but had to surrender the title due to some racy photo's taken of her previously.

yeah, something about having posed nude at one time. good thing she picked up her life after what must have been a massive setback or a huge disappointment to say the least. good for her. she got right back up. i like her spirit.
