What's Your List...?
Some people on this list aren't relevant to this decade and Rihanna is just a flavor of the moment (Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam) IMO. I'll just do the relevant artists.
1. Beyonce - Arguably the most popular and "prolific" female artist of the decade. Her style has been immitated by many and other careers have religiously been compared to hers.
2. Mariah Carey - Mariah Carey is on eof the most legendary figures of 1990s and the 2000s. IMO, Beyonce and Mariah Carey are interchangeable for the #1 spot.
3. Madonna - Madonna is one of the most entertaining, controversial, and legendary music icons. From the 1980s to the late 2000s, Madonna is still cranking out top 10 hits and #1 albums.
4. Alicia Keys - Alicia Keys is a soul genius and one of the most talented R&B/Soul pianists I've ever heard. She'll definitey be remembered as a musical genius. Unlike, any other artist of the decade. Most women had to resort to dance-pop and contemporary R&B, but Alicia had stayed in her soul/R&B realm and is still able to make #1 hits.
5. Shakira - The most popular international Latin star in the world. She's done two difficult things. Putting out quality albums and still making hits.
I chose not to do the rest cause my screen is gonna get f*cked up if I overwrite.
6. Christina Aguilera 7. Amy Winehouse 8. Britney Spears 9. P!nk 10. Missy Elliot 11. Gwen Stefani 12. Nelly Furtado 13. Carrie Underwood 14. Mary J. Blige 15. Kelly Clarkson 16. Fergie

I don't really see anyone on Criss88's list that's any less relevant to this decade than some of the ones you included. The only one I can identify is Sheryl Crow.
And this is BEST female artists, not relevant or influential, right? Which means "relevance" doesn't really matter at all. Here are my picks. I thought a lot about this, probably more than I should have. This is ranked based on an average between quality (in my opinion) and influence/impact/importance:
01.Mariah Carey: Mariah's dominance in the 90's certainly influence 100% of the other Pop/R&B younger female artists who have appeared on the above lists. Though the 90's were definitely Mariah's decade, she has carried her success and influence into the 2000's like few artists have been able to. After a shaking start in the early 2000's, Mariah exploded back onto the scene in 2005 with one of the biggest "comebacks" in pop music history. What resulted was the longest running #1 single of the decade. the best selling album of 2005, and multiple Grammy's. She returned to the top of the charts this year with "E=MC2." Again, there may be younger artists out there who have dominated the 2000's, but Mariah's influence can be seen in virtually everyone of them.
02. Nelly Furtado 03. Rihanna 04. Beyonce 05. Robyn 06. Alanis Morissette 07. Pink 08. Madonna 09. Gwen Stefani 10. Christina Aguilera 11. Alicia Keys 12. Shakira 13. Carrie Underwood 14. Fergie 15. Amy Winehouse 16. Mary J.Blige 17. M.I.A 18. Bjork 19. Kylie Minogue 20. Norah Jones

Ha ha. It's funny how Rihanna comes in before Beyonce, P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, and Mary J. Blige. And she hasn't had a hit album before "Good Girl Gone Bad", which only reached #2.

Well that's his personal opinion. And why are you constantly hating on Rihanna? Yea she not have the best voice but she's talented enough to be a star.

I'm not hating on Rihanna, I'm stating my personal opinion like Troy did. BTW, you don't need talent to become a star.

It's as simple as this: Overall, I enjoy Rihanna's singles more than I do of what the ladies you mentioned have put out in the 2000's. "Umbrella" is one of the very best records of the decade in my opinion...that is enough to put in higher than the other ladies. Beyonce, for me, is extremely overrated.
All a matter of personal opinion.

Well outside of you, no one felt the need to single out a person on someone else's list, you got the ball rolling....
In NO Order: This one is the hardest to do IMO. Also, it'll be too hard to rank them. All are amazing in their own right.

Kelly Clarkson 6. Madonna 7. Alicia Keys 8. Britney Spears 9. Rihanna 10. Carrie Underwood 11. Nelly Furtado 12. Faith Hill 13. Gwen Stefani 14. Martina McBride 15. Taylor Swift 16. Feist 17. Amy Winehouse 18. Norah Jones 19. Fergie 20. P!nk 21. Shakira 22. Mary J. Blige 23. Kylie Minogue 24. Missy Elliott 25. Sheryl Crow Honorable Mention: Leona Lewis
