Uh, In Rainbows with Beyoncé's voice would suck. I don't think that makes a person racist. us Americans are obsessed with race.
The Radiohead album? Don't see why it couldn't be interpreted by a woman.

Beyoncé claimed to be “bringing back black country” when black country never went anywhere. It’s incredibly insulting to all of the other actual black country singers and artists. Also her album is just bad. Like literally terrible terrible music. It’s clearly just a cash grab.
Very similar to when she claimed to be the first black woman to headline the Glastonbury festival and Skin from Skunk Anansie was like, ex-fucking-scuse me.

Anyone else notice they have a sexual preference in singers and music? I mostly like metal, and there are a few female singers I have liked, though I'm out of touch, having been totally disenfranchised by streaming, and bad with names in general. I tend to wear thin on female vocals. I don't know if it is the tone, texture, or content.
I used to put 5 CDs in a turn table boom box in my auto body shop and just let them play while I worked for 12-16 hours straight. It was mostly like Disturbed, Slipknot, Metallica, Alice in Chains, that kind of stuff. I can't recall any of the female stuff I tried, but I never kept them in the loop for very long. Dunno why really. Guess I'm music-gay like Red team
I generally find that people prefer artists they can sing along to and have it somewhat sound simila
I don’t necessarily select music solely for the vocals, but I typically find women’s voices much more beautiful. Andrea bocelli, don mclean, and hozier are notable exceptions, but Amy Winehouse, Adele, or even Beyoncé tend to hit me harder.

I have a really broad taste in music and I've noticed that I definitely prefer a male voice. Same with authors.
I'm kinda the opposite, haha! It's twenty years old now but back then I got my hands on the Beautiful Voices albums and I discovered some fantastic female vocalists (and a few I already loved). These days my most listened to band is without a doubt Band Maid, and my latest discovery is Castle Rat... It's not the fact it's a woman singing, per se, it's more something to do with lyricism and the contrast with the metal sound. Just like Serj Tankian's operatic singing vs the mad sound of SoaD, if you will.
Dude, those compilation disks were amazing, and some even came with DVDs of their music videos. I remember how cringy After Forever videos were, and how enchanting Floor's voice and interpretation always was. I still listen to VOA frequently, and those albums really helped shape my taste in music.
If you want a fancy treat, give both Diablo Swing Orchestra and Igorrr a listening to, they are amazing.
Maybe that's just in accordance with the normal style of metal music, where male vocals are expected / more appropriate. I'm surprised to learn that there are female metal singers at all.
Recommend Jinjer and Unleash the Archers
Light this city, Ignea, Arkona, even Battle Beast. There are plenty female vocalists with a lot of catchy songs.
Nervosa is my favorite all-women band of all time. Super tight thrash/melodeath from Brazil.
Lacuna Coil, Otep, and Arch Enemy immediately come to mind, but you are correct - feminine representation is a small minority in metal.
I'd say it depends on the subgenre. Symphonic metal bands often are female fronted, such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, Leave's Eyes or Epica.

The number one Billboard album and album of the Year?
seems like it's doing okay.
I think this is in reference to the album being fully shut out of the country music awards. Not even a single nomination.
thanks, that makes sense. I didn't know that, that is some bullshit.

What is Cowboy Carter? Is that how I can find a link?
Cowboy Carter is Beyonce's country album.
I was wondering who that was supposed to be. The title actually makes some sense now.
