[Gstar]

The Ultimate Female debut single competition

"The competition to end all competitions"

Okay guys, we are one step closer to finding out the all time favourite debut single by a female artist, I have narrowed it down to the final 12.

It was meant to be 10 semi finalists but there were about 5 artist who had the same amount of votes and I couldn't be bothered to do a 5-way tie breaker to narrow it down

You will only be allowed to vote for 5 artists, again, there's no preference in the order of how you vote.

Final - Next Wednesday
There will be a poll with the final three artists who received the most votes, after another week your winner will be revealed.

Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Beyonce - Crazy In Love (Feat Jay-Z)

[Jamie89]

I thought Beyonce's debut was 'Work It Out'?

[Jamie89]

Also can I suggest adding Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood, if it's not too late?

[_Tom_]

I thought Beyonce's debut was 'Work It Out'?

Point. Maybe because it was the soundtrack for Austin Powers idk :shrug:

[LukeB]

2.Beyonce - Crazy In Love (Feat Jay-Z)
3.Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger
4.Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love

6.Kelly Rowland - Dilemma (Feat Nelly)
7.Lady Gaga - Just Dance
8.Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This

[Gstar]

I thought Beyonce's debut was 'Work It Out'?
You're right but it was part of a movie and also featured on the Austin Powers soundtrack album, I felt that she only put the song on her album because the film was popular. Crazy In Love was the first single to be on her album alone

Also can I suggest adding Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood, if it's not too late?

Sure, will add now

[LukeB]

Where is Alexandra Burke - Bad Boys

[Gstar]

LATE ENTRANT

Marina and The Diamonds - Hollywood has been added

[Gstar]

Unfortunately Hallelujah was her first official single, same with Leona and Kelly Clarkson. Shame because all three had amazing singles after

[LukeB]

[Jamie89]

You're right but it was part of a movie and also featured on the Austin Powers soundtrack album, I felt that she only put the song on her album because the film was popular. Crazy In Love was the first single to be on her album alone

Oh I just realised I forgot about Alanis :(

She had 8 songs that were hits in Canada only before You Oughta Know, though

[Amy Jade]

Where is Avril Lavigne? :fist:

Complicated is an anthem

[Jamie89]

She had 8 songs that were hits in Canada only before You Oughta Know, though

(I was hoping people would ignore that fact) But also I'd assume it would only be her international singles that counted, since 'You Oughta Know' was her debut in the UK, and we're in the UK :hee:

Where is Avril Lavigne? :fist:

Complicated is an anthem

Omg yes! And Samantha Mumba, Gotta Tell You :shame: (I'm going to stop now because there's probably so many I've forgotten :laugh:)

I always thought I Am Not a Robot was Marina's debut (I'd consider voting for that if we could pick 20)
