We all know the 4 big female names in the eurobeat business. And we all also have our favorites among these incredible women who never seize to amaze us with new and addictive songs. These four ladies have been around the longest and also presented us with the biggest amount of songs.

So who do you go for?

Alessandra Mirka Gatti - Domino, Mirka, Go Go Girls...
Clara Moroni - Cherry, Vicky Vale, Angie Davies...
Elena Ferretti - Helena, Sophie, Alexis...
Elena Gobbi - Virginelle, Roxanne, Lolita...

Ohhhh NO....
DEFINITELY Clara Moroni is the best of the bunch. She has more songs than anyone... more aliases... and has also been around the longest. Clara also is PR & Co Owner of my most favorite label... DELTA!!! I believ that she is also the only one with rock albums out! Moroni defined eurobeat for years with eary names like Vanessa and did very early work with Farina, Crivellente, Maiolioni, Rimonti etc. You could say she is one who mad eurobeat what it is today.. GO CLARA!!!

It was a tossup between Elena Gobbi and Clara Moroni for me, but Clara's just had so many amazing songs to her credit, I had to vote for her. Plus, seeing that live performance puts her over the top. :P

I voted for Clara but mostly for her stuff from Time. Not to say that her songs with Delta are horrible, but I just found that the stuff she released on Time were more engaging than the stuff with Delta (though I have Eurobeat Kind of Love on repeat whenever I play it and Tic Toc as well)

I (obviously) vote for Alessandra. Though, it's not just because of her music, it's because her, as a person, is the best thing ever. So friendly, generous, and such a beautiful soul. =)

Elena Gobbi. I love pretty much every one of her songs. But as far as contributions to Eurobeat... Clara Moroni!

I would say Elena Ferretti hands down, vecause she has stuck it out at TIME year after year. Give me a Sophie, Rose, Helena, Alexis, Vanessa, Sheila, Barbi Girl, Magyka, The list goes track on any day and I'm in Eurobeat heaven. Beautiful- Beautiful vocals :D

Clara is another fascinating vocalist who has sang some of my favorite trax at Saifam, TIME and High Energy label, but she left, so yeah Elena Ferretti all the way 8)

Clara Moroni undoubtedly, as most people voted. Similar to Elena Ferretti, she's done an enormous amount of songs in the past, but she's a lot more diverse and tallented in my opinion. Alessandra's songs are also fantastic, but she hasn't contributed nearly as much as Clara has to the eurobeat scene in terms of providing vocals.

Alessandra Gatti - even was the wife of Dave Rodgers and actually the second representative “public face” of 90s Eurobeat with him, she didn’t sing really a huge number of tracks, because had many other jobs in A.Beat-C. Finally it's better, easier to rate each of her productions. Charming, warm tone of the voice, perfect.

Clara Moroni – she sings so long, that for one is the queen of Italo Disco, for others the queen of Eurobeat, probably because she still creates for Delta, the longest time for the one label so constantly is attributed to her Cherry name. But what’s too much, it isn’t good. Can get an impression, that she sang over and over, every second one track in Time Records and Delta in some period. This can be very boring, monotonous, having a lot of projects. I believe these labels had rather bigger possibilities to hire differential staff, but they decided they not need, simply and cheap. Today I feel, that her long and big popularity results for addition from her specific temperament, which like especially male fans, everybody knows, what kind of pictures she shares on the web. Of course she has a good voice and without her Eurobeat would be poor.

Elena Ferretti – surely was hard to make a worse or just any wilder song by her angelic voice. Thanks to her, longer time was maintained “Italo” climate in the Eurobeat music.

Elena Gobbi – also participated in the main projects, more when she replaced Annerley Gordon. Next professional singer, the pride of Eurobeat, what she could do with the voice without any hardware corrections you can listen.

About to… Where is Annerley Gordon in this summary? The artist, which sang beside worldwide stars at Avex Trax Rave ’94 as one of “A.Beat-C. All Stars”? And I think Karen Jane Wainwright deserves too, to be mentioned as a great name.

Elena Gobbi! Her tracks (even the Go Go Girls' additions) gave eurobeat its saccharine, sugary image. Anynight Anyday was one of the first eurobeat tracks I've ever heard. Her voice has always soared above others on power; I don't think any other vocalist can shout louder than her (maybe Bazooka Girl?) She has been a staple of eurobeat throughout the 90s and 2000s.

How about none of them? Where's Stefania Martin? The one behind Mari-San (name escapes me)? Pamsy (name escapes me AGAIN)? Kaory (even though she's recent)?

I know this poll is ooooooooooooooooooold but still.

For the genre as a whole, these 4 ladies are probably the most well-known (although you could mention Norma) across its history.
