Can you be more specific about who you include when you say "people"? To me it just sounds like a male preference, Vasinger - I love female singers too. But, I think Kevin is about right on sales, and furthermore male singers are preferred demo's as female artists doesn't have a problem with hearing the song for them even though it's sung by a male, while the opposite is not so. If you look a bit deeper in the music industry, it's also heavily male dominated, think producers.. sooeh
