I don't really care if the singer's female of not. If the music and her voice are good, then it doesn't really matter all that much to me. I do tend to gravitate toward bands with male singers/male solo artists, though.
Also, where the hell did this "anal beads" thing come from?

Everything needs anal beads.
I used to dislike female singers (back in the dark ages of high school), but now I feel the same as Sushi up there
i find that the general content that women sing about doesnt jive with my tastes (most of the woman singers i've heard are pop artists). However, I won't avoid a woman singer unless i dont like what she sounds like/sings about. i think that women and men have inherently different tastes in music (to some degree) so it is just natural that men end up listening to more male singers and women end up listening to more female singers. I dont really know enough to be sure, that's just my hypothesis.
I don't think that's true. I actually have a lot more male vocalists in my library.
As far as the way I voted. I think talent is subjective, one person's talent (as a technical skill) is another persons overindulgent wankery. So I tend to judge not so much on talent, I do take it into consideration but it's taste and creativity that counts, how well they can put a song together that I can enjoy. Like say someone thinks if a women bass player doesn't play like Les Claypool she can't play - no way I have to like what she's doing, whether she's Freddy Feedback or Gail Ann Dorsey. When I do like them I do tend think they're great.
I don't see a gender gap where women lag behind men in creativity or taste in music. I am of the opinion that women can do anything they want in music, singing or playing an instrument. For the most part I think less is more and when singing. There are a lot of singers who over do it, and even women singers. And maybe that is what they are complaining about, not necessarily that women can't sing (talent-wise) but it's not to their liking.
There are a million of examples of songs and videos, I wanted different styles in muisc. I just thought the first song was ok thinking it was someone else who wrote the music, but when I found out besides singing Enya arrange and compose her songs, then I began to appreciate it more. Tracy has a great voice and delivery, she a million times more talented than John Mayer. And there really no need to say Lez Zep rocks just as hard as the original.

I agree it does come off that way. Maybe the question should be do you dislike women in rock? In all fairness, men really have dominated that scene. However, females seem to dominate pop and both men and women seem to get fair treatment in maybe soul.
Yes, men do dominate rock, but it makes those women who are actually in good rock/metal bands gems, in my opinion. Men are more dominant in the entire music scene, which is a shame, but that doesn't mean I'm going to constantly search for female musicians I might like. I search for musicians I can connect with. It shouldn't be limited to that, either. I find that I still revisit an album if I don't really like it at first - you know, opening to new experiences and such. Enough talking though:
Cheshire Agusta of Stinking Lizaveta
Laura Pleasants of Kylesa
I stumbled upon this cover while searching for a video. I saw them last year, but they definitely did not do this. This might be one of the best Floyd covers I've heard. ****ing kudos.
And of course, the lovely Carla Kihlsted from Tin Hat and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. She's in a few other bands and does some solo stuff, too. I'm only familiar with these two bands, though. I saw her in Columbia, SC with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum performing while 6 months pregnant.
I love female singers, without a doubt they add something to music that male singers just can't bring. I've always been fond of dual male, female vocals though, I think the combination is something I've always enjoyed. Need to get some more

I also love female singers, I don't really understand why so many people don't like female singers, pretty much all of my favorite bands have women members/women singers.

Definitely! You ever listen to Black Mountain? They are a great combo on the vocals.

Carla Kihlsted is a fucking genius imo. Not only are Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Tin Hat absolutely amazing, but Book of Knots is even better than both.
