Could have been Gaga, being the only mega-star of her ilk who actually had talent. The mantle was hers and she either fumbled it or consciously threw it away. Then her evolution slowed.

yea not denying that :-/ just no one i can really think of thats really revolutionizing music like the aforementioned people were.

What's wrong with it? All women in the OP have unusual vocal styles. Joanna's isn't that much different than Kate's, for example. And it doesn't take too long to get used to it.

Plus her voice became a little less out there after HOOM.

Btw this really old Kate song reminds me of Joanna so much:

Joni isn't zany, just quietly demented.

I know he isn't female, but Perfume Genius is the true successor of all those artists
