Tori Kelly is one singer who deserves to be talked about more. I was first introduced to her from her work as Meena in "Sing", which prompted me to check out more of her music, and she's wonderful.

Thank you so much for including Adam Lambert. Not just anyone can give a performance that bring the likes of Cher to tears or be called "the gift from God" by a legend like Dr. Sir Brian May himself for nothing! He's also criminally underrated as an actor, especially voice roles. He's recently appeared as a coach on The voice Australia among other shows and he's making his official debut on broadway tonight as the Emcee in "Cabaret"!

Adam Lambert needs and should always be respected I feel here in the UK we do our best for him but he needs way more credit then what he gets because he is the perfect artist

[UnderappreciatedFemaleArtists]

I would also like to give shout outs to Imogen Heap, Björk, Missy Higgins, Norah Jones, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Jolin Tsai, Indila, Jain, Delta Goodrem, Lily Allen, Tori Amos, Cathy Dennis, Bonnie McKee, Sarah McLachlan, Enya, Caroline Polachek, Weyes Blood, Jess Glynne, Jessie Ware, Rita Ora, Alessia Cara, Lykke Li, MØ, Tove Lo, Troye Sivan, Fletcher, Maggie Rogers, BANKS, Tei Shi, Sky Ferraira, Grimes, etc.

Kylie Minogue deserves more credits than her sales and streaming nos show. She has been serving high grade pop since 1988

Carly Rae Jepsen is too real!! I love her so much, she’s incredible!! And yesss loveeee Zara Larsson!!

[evanavis]

Robyn being #1 is dead on. She is literally responsible for Britney Spears. Back in the 90s, when she turned down signing to Jive Records, they went out to find an "American Robyn". Guess who they found?

[rockablity_hound]

As big as she is, Kylie should have been far bigger and I find that her influence on pop music is always credited to someone else.

[DeleleleleWHOOP]

Bebe Rexha is criminally underrated and has been done dirty by the industry ever since "Hey Mama" if not earlier. That girl deserves more recognition for sure

[donnadrane]

Adam Lambert is amazing. What a voice.

[Mattyyiz]

Miss Carly Rae is one of a kind honestly! Her music post call me maybe has been some of the best pop of the 2010s and 2020s. Highly recommend her albums E•MO•TION and The Loneliest Time for a good time

[JooMarra]

E•MO•TION is without a doubt one of the greatest albums ever made, it's the quintessential pop. Even those who doesn't like pop music loves this album.

[yomama]

This time last year, Charli xcx and Sabrina Carpenter would’ve been on this list. Now they’re finally getting their flowers. Sometimes it just takes time. Some of these artists absolutely deserve the success.

[jackbalnis]

No Sara Bareilles on this list? Guess she’s not “pop” enough but she’s is absolutely criminally underrated

[MusicCroatia]

Im so happy you have mentioned Marina and the diamonds, Robyn and FKA twigs. I would mention Tove Lo and Tinashe on list too

[Bibzy]

Ava Max is someone who for sure deserved to be on this list! She's the creator of Sweet But Psycho but other than that no one really knows her name and it's upsetting because she's my all time favorite singer and her stuff is amazing!!

[sailormoonsault]

Paloma Faith is an incredibly overlooked artist. She worked alongside Amy Winehouse and her voice is super unique.

[gfear]

Sadly for women like Bebe Rexha, the pop music industry still isn't interested in pushing women who are bigger than a size 4 and who have actual talent that isn't filtered heavily through autotune. Billie Eilish is an anomaly in the pop music industry. Bebe can fucking SING, and is one of the hottest women on the planet and should be so much bigger a star than she is.

I guess I’m too old. I was expecting names like Debbie Gibson and Cathy Dennis. LOL

[steviejunior]

I just wanted to say thank you. I just started the video and have already downloaded music that I never heard before. Always a good day when I get new music.
