Streisand and Cher are honorable mentions??? 🤔🤔

Let me see... Cher, Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand, Karen Carpenter, Billie Hollyday, Patsy Kline are HONORABLE MENTIONS??? REALLY?!?!?!? And another thing HAVE ANYONE OF YOU HEARD OF NINA SIMONE?!?!?!?

Where is Nina Simone??

How does Linda Ronstadt not make this list - and not even rate an honourable mention?

Karen Carpenter's beautiful voice was so smooth, pure, and crystal clear, no other singer can match the beautifuil qualities in her voice she has no equal. No one can sing anything like Karen Carpenter that is why she is so great and unforgetable.She's the best.

Where's Karen carpenter?? Her unique voice and ability to not hit a high note but stay very soft and smooth was absolutely captivating. Ughh

I can't believe that Bonnie Tyler and Laura Branigan are not on any list. I can't even believe that Karen Carpenter is just an honorable mention.

This lists should spilt by decades: 70s, 60s, 50s and before

Why did you squeeze the 50s-70s all in one video? It's not like those 20 years were starved of iconic women in music

Aretha really is the Queen of Soul. So much energy in her voice.

they really should have split this into the 50s, 60s and 70s and so on....they missed A LOT of women

How can Cher not be in the top 10

Diana Ross at #6 feels wrong.Donna Summer,Cher, and Barbara Streisand are honorable mentions?

Think Karen Carpenter deserved to be in the top #5. Her vocals were just angelic.

msmojo definitely should have done this one decade at a time, too many great women

Should've split up the decades tho so the lists were more accurate. Barbra Streisand (sp), Cher and Karen Carpenter should all be in the top 10s

A lot of the honorable mentions deserve to be on the actual list, but I don't know who I'd take off. They're all gods.

I agree with this list, like literally Ms. Franklin was the first woman that came to mind when I saw the title.

Surprised that Carole King and Carly Simon didn't even get honorable mentions, because those two are the top when it comes to female singer/songwriters

It's heartbreaking how many have passed on this list. I still listen to their music.

Are you kidding me??? and Nina Simone??????????? not even in the honorable mentions

It is basically a 70s list! Here’s my list (70s only) 10. Olivia Newton John 9.Dolly Parton 8.Donna Summer 7. Karen Carpenter 6.Stevie Nicks 5.Diana Ross 4.Tina Turner 3.Barbara Streisand 2.Cher Honourable Mentions .Patti Smith .Carole King .Carly Simon .Debbie Harry .Patti Labelle 1.Linda Ronstadt (fun fact she actually was the most successful female singer at the time)

Guys, everyone here is legendary, even the honorable mentions and ones they missed. The 50's through 70s! How could you just pick 10! I think they did a great job with their order, honorable mention means your just as honorable as those on the list. Etta James? Ella Fitzgerald? Cmon! Who could beat them! Iconic! But also Billie Holiday and Barbra Streisand. Epic. Overall an Epic list of Epic hisotrical figures whos voices, if your not moved by them, you just dont have a soul truthfully. Lol

My list: 10)Donna summer 9)Patti labelle 8)Etta James 7)Cher 6)Janis Joplin 5)Diana Ross 4)Tina Turner 3)Barbra Streisand 2)Ella Fitzgerald 1)Aretha Franklin

Karen Carpenter should be at top of list

Cher should be on the list same as Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand.

Karen Carpenter should be in the list!!!!! Not just honorable mention.

My favorite is definitely Stevie Nicks. She has a lot of power and a strong voice. Love her

Frida Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog should be in this list. They are the godmothers of modern pop in many ways. People are still rediscovering Abba songs that weren´t even hits at the time like. When I Kissed The Teacher, Head over Heels, Under Attack, Happy New Year, Soldiers etc. True evergreens that people haven´t heard. 100 percent timeless.

Cher has one of the iconic and longest career's in pop music and you put her in the honarable mentions?

is this a joke?! Cher should be atleast 5!

Karen Carpenter deserves better than honorable mention

Cher should be near if not the top as she was from 60S onward to today she has had amazing career and can sell out concert in no time

I've been trying to get into music by the original divas so this list is really gonna help me out. Thanks!

Donna Summer owned the 1970s, especially 1975-1980.

glad to see stevie nicks..and patsy cline...

Karen Carpenter, Barbra Streisand only honorable mentions???? What??!

It would be better if watchmojo makes three different lists: 50's 60's and 70's... a lot of iconic singers were forgotten.

My top 3 3 Dolly Parton 2 Janice Joplin 1 Stevie Nicks

Karen Carpenter shouldn't be an honorable mention

I LOVE the honorable mentions :)

Lots of singers were missed. You should have had a list for each of the three decades

Very good list, but I think you could have broken it down into three separate lists covering each decade and still have an impressive lineup for each one. That way you could have included Wanda Jackson rocking in the Fifties, Grace Slick wailing in the Sixties, and Poly Styrene knocking it out in the Seventies.

This list is a complete joke; the only person's spot you got correct is Aretha's. Someone like Barbra Streisand should be top 3 at least, girl won 2 academy awards and is a Broadway/music icon. Also Carole King and Carly Simon are not even an honorable mentions? Blue from Joni Mitchell and Tapestry from Carole King are considered the two greatest albums by women ever according to Rolling Stone. Diana Ross should've been so much higher up, she paved the way for so many, she is a true pop icon. Cher is still relevant to this day, yet she's not on this list. Karen Carpenter deserved better than an honorable mention. Sorry, but this list shows that Ms Mojo knows nothing about music.

Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer just honorable mentions? Not fair. They are still very recognizable today... Isn't that a piece of what the word iconic means?

Oh, and let's not forget Cher. 8 agree with the number one choice though

Petula Clark? Dusty Springfield?

10. Patti Labelle 9. Donna Summer 8. Tina Turner 7. Diana Ross 6. Joni Mitchell 5. Dolly Parton 4. Etta James 3. Dionne Warwick 2. Ella Fitzgerald 1. Aretha Franklin

I feel like the 70's should have it's own list

how the hell are barbara streisand,karen carpenter,billie holiday,patsy cline,cher and donna summer just honorable mentions?

Where is Dusty springfield?!

I love Tina Turner and Stevie Nicks, but there iconic era's are in 1980s (minus Ike and "Rumours")

Where's Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer and Karen Carpenter?????????. Also an Icon that paved the way for other Afro Americans should be number 1 by a country mile and that is PIONEER, TRAILBLAZER and GLOBAL PHENOMENON.........MISS DIANA ROSS!!!. As lead singer of the greatest female group OF ALL TIME, Miss Ross has gone on to become the greatest female Entertainer OF ALL TIME!!!.

Cher and Barbra honorable mentions? I'm speechless. Cher should be top3 for SURE.

They should have made a list for each decade.

I greatly appreciate a list like this showing love to a lot of phenomenal voices in many genres of music, my only complaint is that because 30 yrs is being used for only 10 women, a lot of great singers were left off. I think it should've went by decade just like the 80s & future videos will. And extra props for recognizing Ella Fitzgerald & Etta James.

YAY for Dolly Parton making the list!!! My favorite of all time.

It is so insulting to have Barbara as an honorable mention. She deserves a spot on the list

you got it all wrong aretha is up there yes but karen carpenter has a voice that in a class to itself so as dolly porton and barbara streisand

Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad are missing

Karen Carpenter should have been on the list

Loving the 1950s and the 1970s classic music! Especially Donna Summer, Tina Turner & Diana Ross music!💟💛x

Karen Carpenter?

My top 10.- Cher 9.- Barbra Streisand 8.- Donna Summer 7.- Tina Turner 6.- Diana Ross 5.- Patsy Cline 4.- Janis Joplin 3.- Etta James 2.- Ella Fitzegerald Honorable Mentions : Gladys Knight Patti LaBelle Billie Holiday Stevie Nicks Carole King Dolly Parton Karen Carpenter 1.- Aretha Franklin 👑👑👑

How dusty Springfield and Nina Simone aren't on this list is baffling

Olivia Newton-John? Linda Ronstadt? Carly Simon???

My list 10 Cher 9 Dolly Porton 8 Barbera Streaisand 7 Stevie Nick's 6 Janis Joplin 5 Diana Ross 4 Etta James 3 Tina Turner 2 Ella Fitsgerald 1 Aretha Franklin

Stevie Nicks I love her

Karen Carpenter is #1, in my book.

This is the first msmojo list I fully agree with :)

Where is Patti Labelle

Cher? Debbie Harry? Kate Bush isn't even an honourable mention?

Dolly ❤❤❤❤

This is so much yes.... SO MUCH YES

I onle knew Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand and Cher. And they do not even enter the list. WTF, MsMojo?

Where are the other prominent female songstresses of that era, like Mahalia Jackson, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Patti Paige, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis & Shirley Bassey?

Ann Wilson, She is great!

Apparently the ones who put together this list, didn't live through the 60s and 70s. If you would have, you'd know that at least from 1968 on, Streisand was everywhere, all the time. Like her or not, it's just a fact.

STREISAND FOR ME, WITH ARETHA 2ND, MINNIE RIPPERTON DESERVES A MENTION, THE RANGE WAS EPIC.

The honourable mentions were far more iconic than some of the singers on the main list. Really you can't do a top 10 list like this covering three decades.

I was all for this list until I saw Stevie Nicks at #8. Like what the actual fuck?

Streisand was the biggest selling female artist from the 60s and 70s. How is she not here? Aretha didn’t sell very much at all by the 70’s but she is a talent. Ross and Summer were probably the biggest during the 70’s

Karen in honorable mentioned?

diana ross was so beautiful

Though chosen by a "bigger picture" on the impact on female artists and the recording industry, many of the the "honorable mentions" were more gifted vocalists (with voices as an instrument) than some of the top 10. All in all, a great video to remind me of the truly gifted women in music from that era!

tf were's Patti Labelle

Aretha Franklin is and will always be #1 💓

Yass. A list with Dolly, Patti, Joni...Sold

Considering some of the other "iconic female singers" lists this one at least makes some sense. By "iconic" I think they mean female singers who have had such an impact on popular culture that they can't be ignored: They literally changed the way people listened to music. If we go by that definition then I'd make a few changes. Instead of Dolly Parton I'd choose Patsy Cline, (who pretty much invented the modern day female country singer), Nina Simone for Tina Turner (Simone's impact on black music and black nationalism in the late 50's and 60's was unparalleled, while Tina Turner only became truly influential in the 80's) and I'd switch Ella Fitzgerald for Barbara Streisand. Ella is untouchable, but her relevance as a singer was chiefly in the 40's and 50's with her famous songbooks of Gershwin and Cole Porter. Streisand's popularity as a singer and actress, along with her extraordinary voice, is hard to overlook. Though she was never as "hip" as Joni Mitchell or Janis Joplin, she was nevertheless a major influence on 60's and 70's popular culture. As for the rest of the list, I'd say it's pretty much on target. Cher is a pop icon to be sure, but musically she was never taken as seriously by the public. "I Got You Babe" was great, but "Half-Breed, Gypsy, Tramps and Thieves? She certainly remains more popular than some of the other artists on the list (she has the distinction of having a top 40 hit in almost every decade) but she has had only 4 # 1 records in the U.S. As for Donna Summer, she continues to be an underrated singer, but that's due to the straight jacket of disco.

Karen Carpenter?!

Barbara Streisand, Patsy Cline and Billie Holliday as honorable mentions?

HOW IS CHER JUST AN HONORABLE MENTION 😡 😠

Barbara Streisand and Cher definitely deserved to be in TOP 10. World STILL KNOWS THEM. And How is Pati Labelle not even an honourable mention?

I knew Ms. Franklin is #1 because my mom love Aretha

Diana Ross should easily be in the top 3. She had 16 number one songs in the 60s and 70s

The runners up are better known here in the Philippines than the top 7 to 10, they are better too esp Barbra, Donna Summer and Karen Carpenters.

Why the hell is Carole King not on here? Or any of these lists!! She had one the top selling albums of all times...

list ate up

Barbara Streisand definitely should've been in the Top 10.I was surprised to see her as an honorable mention.Are u kidding me! Furthermore, WHO is Patti Smith??? I've never even heard of her.She looks like Mick Jagger.

What about Nina Simone?She has been one of the most influential artists of all time.
