Which have been your favourite album releases by (alt)-Divas this year? This, for me, has been a fantastic year for music by female artists. Highlights for me have been:
Brandy - Human
One of the best R'n'B albums in years. Phenomenal vocals, lyrics and hooks.
Britney Spears - Circus
She's definitely back, and better than ever. I thought Blackout would be hard to match... but somehow she managed it. This CD never fails to put me in a good mood. Consistently hot dance tracks from start to finish.
Michelle Williams - Unexpected
This album really lived up to it's title. Always the most underappreciated member of Destiny's Child, no one expected her to put out one of the hottest albums of the year. I love it... I urge you all to check it out. I love the dance vibe to it - We Break the Dawn should've been huge.
Mariah Carey - E=MC2
A really good album. Shows off her playful side a lot too.
Janet Jackson - Discipline
Definitely her best album since 'All For You' in 2001. She really brought her A game here in making some classic Janet songs. 'Feedback', 'Luv' and '2Nite' are HOT!
Miley Cyrus - Breakout
This girl gets so much criticism just because she comes from a Disney show. I personally think she's one of the best pop/rock artists out there today and the fact she wrote 8/12 songs on the album should be applauded. So catchy and surprisingly mature.... consistently fantastic from start to finish.

Duffy "Rockferry" Adele "19" Little Jackie "The Stoop" Maria Mena "Cause & Effect" Her cover of "It Must Have Been Love" is AMAZING Jazmine Sullivan "Fearless" Best R&B Album of 2008 IMO Solange "Sol Angel & The Hadley St Dreams" (Shoulda been huge) Mary J Blige "Growing Pains" Mariah Carey "E=MC2" Brandy "Human" (Though the bonus tracks and recently leaked songs should have been on the album instead of some of the tracks!) It's been a good year for the ladies (maybe not sales wise but quality wise) - here's hoping 2009 follows on Merry Christmas Everyone

I know, I'm just glad I'm not the only one here who thinks so.
