My Top Five in Music Review

Over the last week I counted down my favorite women in the music industry. The list was as follows:

1. Fiona Apple
2. Nelly Furtado
3. Gwen Stefani
4. Shania Twain
5. Christina Aguilera

It was a tough list to compile. Every day there's some new packaged talent who's hungrier than the last and tries harder to be hotter to get her songs and vidoes played and ultimately fans to buy records, merchandise, and concert tickets.

So with that in mind, here's a list of those who weren't in the top five but were considered and didn't make it for various reasons:
Shirley Manson (Garbage)
Christina Milian
Jessica Simson
Natalie Imbruglia
Avril Lavigne
Free Dominguez (Kidney Thieves)
Mya
Saffron (Republica)
