v Well in terms of vague tags, I suppose the same can be said for many others, such as nationality tags--French, German, Canadian, Swedish, etc.--which don't really tell us that much about the music when you have artists as diverse as Serge Gainsbourg and Justice, or Tokyo Police Club and Avril Lavigne, or Jens Lekman and Refused under the same tag. Not a lot of people causing an uproar about those tags though, are there, even when American is rarely used in comparison.

i know tags are generally a way to describe the music and not the genre but it's stupid when it's listed as the top or most relevant tag on a musician or bands page cause it's the most vague description ever, and basically only provides us with the info that the vocal range of the singer will likely be between soprano and alto.

worst, stupidest, less necessary tag in last.fm I wonder why many people use it to tag artists and songs... as if there isn't anything else to tag with. Last.fm should ban this.

It is not useful at all - "female vocalist" is NOT a kind of music. Björk and Feist only have one thing in common, and that is the fact that they both have a vagina - just like Britney Spears or Leighton Meester, who, by the way, is also being tagged as female vocalist. I am sick to death of trying to listen similar artists to Lily Allen and ending up listening to Peaches, Tina Turner and any other female singer under the sun. I want to listen to similar artists to Lily Allen, not women singing! This tag is messing up the whole fucking lastfm radio, because the Dixie Chicks belong in here, Lily Allen belongs in here, any woman singing belongs in here and that is why it is not useful - the tag won't help you discover new artists similar to Kate Nash, only women who sing. And that is obviously something SO remarkable we have to create a tag, isn't it? Look, a woman who sings!

i never said they had any similarity, they just happen to be of the same gender. but when you look at the list of artists that are most tagged as female vocalists, spears ain't anywhere near the top. any self-respecting music listener wouldn't come to this page and say"gee I like PJ, and Alanis Morissette, maybe i should listen to this britney spears peson" they know what a useless piece of shit her music is. most the of the artists here on this page are of decent quality, something I can't say about spears, Mariah Carey, and Avril Lavigne etc. so i still stand behind my defense of this tag. you can look at any tag on this website and find obvious shit that doesn't really belong there like spears, she's not a female vocalist, she's more of a whore drama queen that can belt out a tune, or at least could, now anything she releases is synthesized shit like that atrocious song "If U Seek Amy"

AEnimia: Britney Spears is a female vocalist too. Yeah, I can see the similarity between PJ Harvey, Britney Spears, and, say, fucking Peaches. Indeed, a very useful tag.

I don't know wtf most of you people are bitching about, the tags on last.fm serve as simple stepping stones so that a person who for example listens to PJ Harvey can find more bands or artists like her. if you were to put pj in a genre(a word you people misrepresent as 'tags)' it would be alternative or some other non-descriptive useless name that only serves to divide bands and their so-called fans and non-fans. tags on lat.fm help others find bands similar to each other in one way or another, something the word genre doesn't do, or at least not very well.

what is the downside of this tag? this should be an example for everyone. tags don't just have to be genres, be creative with them! it makes it a lot easier to listen to a station without all the songs sounding the same. Ami Os, if you think there isn't a substantial difference between female and male vocalists, you may wanna get your ears checked.
