Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine is incredibly gifted. I checked her at Radio City last year and was blown away.
Amy Winehouse has an amazing, classic voice as well. Regina Spektor is cool and pretty funky.

Of the modern singers. I love this song by Madeleine Peyroux:
And this is my favourite House track of the past ten years. Great female vocals:
And then there is Yukimi Nagano who has made tons of great songs. She is the most highly regarded female vocalist in modern electronica/house music:

I must be really old, Joni MItchell is God and the person I bring up when debating whether there are women geniuses.
As an aside, Enya was so dedicated to music she ended up not having kids, same with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, who sounded like she regretted it in an interview I read.
Joni had a kid in her teens, gave her up for adoption (maybe knew she was destined for more important things) and then was reunited with her child after decades.
The great masterpiece "Blue" is named after what she called her child. It was released 1971 when she was 27. "In January 2000, the New York Times chose Blue as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music". "
Aretha Franklin , and Nina Simone, who was a trained opera singer but had a wildly expressive style of singing which sort of sounded like intentional out-of-tuneness.
There were also many great Big-Band singers before present readers' times, when there were no retakes-- she was out in front of a whole band live to disk.
Helen Forrest?
Sarah McLoughlin! Married her drummer... you can guess how that turned out...And they got divorced after she hit the wall, tragic for her. She was open about being devastated.

I love 3 of Joni Mitchell's songs. Never really imagined her to be a genius - alhtough strangely my dad thinks she is.
The songs by her I like are Carey, All I Want and Borderline. Big Yellow Taxi is a fun one as well.
Of the three songs I mentioned by Joni Mitchell. I remember thinking the version I had on YouTube is better than the one on the actual album. But can't remember which one of the songs it is now though.
I like this Joan Armatrading song as well:

"The whole point of being alpha, is doing what the fuck you want.
That's why you see real life alphas without chicks. He's doing him.
Real alphas don't tend to have game. They don't tend to care about the emotional lives of the people around them."

Fucked up creative female artists were mentioned above.
It is interesting. A fucked up female will not have kids and devote herself to her 'muse'.
Whereas a fucked up male will knock up a bitch - and maybe or maybe not hang around. Whilst still devoting all his time to his 'muse'.
The point is this. It is much easier for fucked up male geniuses to pass on their genes to the next generation than it is for women. Which is why there are so many more talented men than women.
It is also why their are more retarded men than women as well - since both types of crazy (the good and the bad) get kept in the gene pool.

I don't really think that has anything to do with why men are more talented than women.
