Mainstream country fans will probably not recognize Kelly Willis, but they should. She has consistently put out some of the best country music for a long time.

I know that most people will automatically think of two big reasons for Dolly being on this list. If that's what you think got her on here, you're wrong. Dolly is a very pretty woman with a beautiful voice and, based on the number of people she's helped through the years, a heart of gold.

Easton was a pop force in the early 80's. I haven't heard much from her since.

She owes a lot to BEP, but Fergie has done quite well on her own. Along with Beyonce, she's one of the few current pop singers that I actually enjoy.

I don't know what it is about older country female singers, but they always do it for me. Barbara and her sisters were a trio of knockouts who made waves throughout the 70's and 80's.

Jessica Simpson is proof that a little innocent T & A will sell albums.

Half of the time I have no clue what she's saying, but I love Shakira. Hips, hips, and more hips!

Much like wine, LeAnn Rimes is proof that things get better with age.

She's beautiful....and can play a mean piano.

While I'm not too drawn to her music, I have to admit that Jewel has a very cute smile.

While I find Mariah's music to be inconsistent, I cannot deny that she's a knockout.

She's one of the few current country starlets that I like. She's beautiful, too.
