My favorite female pop vocalist of the past year was Sophie Ellis Bextor (along with perennial fave, Shirley Manson of Garbage.) I'm curious, is she popular yet on the other side of the pond? She made her name in the British club scene, and now all of Europe has fallen for her. Rather than cloak her accent, as a lot of singers do, she sings with the most wonderfully posh voice. If you haven't all heard her in the States already, check her out.
I recommend Murder on the Dancefloor, Get Over You and The Universe is You, for the uninitiated.

I like her, too. Though, my fave song of hers is "Music Gets the Best of Me."

I KNEW that was her.

How long were you in Britain? We're hoping to get over there at some point during out time here in Kiev, though with the Euro up it'd kill us these days. Bleh. Did you enjoy your time there?
Aaron-
Yep, she's got a pretty distinctive voice. The video for "Murder" is great -- her in a ballroom dance competition sabotaging all of the other contestants. Very classy and very clever.
