Top 10 Most Iconic Female Collaborations Of All Time


Hello! Hola! Bonjour! and all possible language you might speak. This is Labelle Top 10 the blog we take all kinds of weird and wonderful things from all round of the world and turn them  into a nice little top 10 list so you guys don't have to.

But before we go into that , i will like to ask you a question . "What's your favorite song by a female?" Answer in the comment section.
This list is based on their impact and dominance on airplay and pop chart and here are top 10 most iconic female collaborations of all time


1. Beyonce & Shakira "Beautiful Liar"




When two divas get together, magical things can happen.So expectations were sky-high when Beyonce and Shakira joined forces for "Beautiful Liar," which was released to radio back in 2007. Peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song was nominated for best pop collaboration with vocals at the Grammys, in addition to other awards, the video taught us all just how perfectly seductive the two could be.


Like that moment Beyonce was eager to prove her hips don't lie, either. But mostly, the video was all about reminding people not to waste their time with lame guys (AKA BEAUTIFUL LIARS), and instead to join forces with your girlfriends and rule the world.
Re-watch below, but fair warning: The two dancing together is definitely going to make you want to channel your inner diva -- and also re-promise yourself that your ab workout will begin tomorrow. 



2. Lady Gaga ft Beyonce "Telephone"


Over a lacklustre dancehall beat, Bey groaned listlessly and GaGa sighed limply alongside her.

This, however, is MUCH better. Much more what we'd come to expect from the globe-straddling, singing superwomen.

"I'm not taking any calls/ as I'll be dancing," is the simple refrain. It's a party song, a club banger, but the accompanying Tarantino-esque camp-a-rama vid elevates it to something much more.

What will their next tune be called? Answer machine? BT Call Minder? It's Bloody Engaged Again? Hmm... Re-watch Below..




3. Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston "When You Believe"


Despite being the first single from the  film "The Prince Of Egypt" , it was being embraced by many as the vocal event of the year and it had  little trouble igniting the airwaves across more radio formats than we could build an empire around. The Baby-face-stamped track is indeed lovely, offering an instantly accessible chorus and a squeaky clean message of "all things are possible when you believe in your dreams." Given the potential of these two powerhouse voices,

4. Christina Aguilera,Pink,Mya,Lil Kim "Lady Marmalade"




When Christina AguileraLil' Kim, Mya, and Pink remade the Labelle classic "Lady Marmalade" with Missy Misdemeanor Elliott at the helm, the result was surprisingly successful. The four stars blended their talents together perfectly, and the song, based on airplay alone, topped the U.S. pop charts for five weeks during the summer of 2001. The song was from the film Moulin Rouge, and its video, featuring the four scantily clad vixens, was as colorful and vibrant as the film itself, no doubt adding to the song's success. With rock guitars, dance beats, and a playful (albeit highly materialistic) rap courtesy of Lil' Kim (which in turn added a more modern twist to the song), the blend possessed all the necessary ingredients to become one of 2001's biggest international hits. In the U.S.

5. Brandy & Monica "The Boy is Mine"



Although still a teen, Monica sang like a woman, consider ‘Misty Blue’ or ‘Street Symphony'.Before Monica and Brandy teamed up for the single ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ the music industry had never seen a duet done like that before. Two successful female R&B stars joined forces and made history. The single dwelled at the top of the charts for weeks.
Both teen stars won a Grammy for the song. “I never expected to win a Grammy so early in my career,” Monica once admitted during an interview.
Although they were vying for the attention of the same guy in the video, reports indicated that the onscreen quarrel spilled over offscreen. Apparently, real life beef was imminent. For years afterwards, both singers admitted that they didn’t speak to each other. However, Monica and Brandy reunited in 2012, for another duet ‘All Belongs to Me.’
‘The Boy is Mine’ successfully set the tone for Monica to have a solid career, one in which other burgeoning R&B singers look to for inspiration.

7. Shakira ft Rihanna "Can't Remember To Forget You"




What do you get when you mix one of Latin music’s biggest female stars with one of the hottest stars on the planet at the moment? Well, the answer is, ‘I can’t remember to forget you’ the iconic collaboration from Shakira and Rihanna!

8. Iggy Azalea ft Charli xcx "Fancy"



The Australian artist’s single ‘Fancy,’ features Brit popstrel Charli XCX and it’s a match made in happenin’ heaven.‘Fancy’ drops us straight into the raucous rap of Azalea coinciding with a poignant bass line which is enough to make any speaker shake. Spitting and spatting quicker than releasing a helium-filled balloon, she riffs: “I just can’t worry ‘bout no haters/ Gotta stay on my grind/ Now tell me, who that, who that?/ That do that, do that?” She’s still in the “Murda Bizness” and her partner in crime, Charli XCX, chimes in for the headstrong hook; “I’m so fancy, you already know/ I’m in the fast lane/ From LA to Tokyo.”

9. Nicki Minaj ft Beyonce "Feeling Myself"





Althought not being an official single, this collaboration made an impact on pop music.Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé's second collaboration—the highly-anticipated followup to the "Flawless" remix—is an opus in four acts. Like a great opera or short play, "Feeling Myself" has a beginning, a middle, and an end. First, there's tough Nicki, who delivers masturbation puns and a virtuosic indictment of competitors who aren't even in her tax bracket, all in the same sentence. And then there's sassy Nicki, who boasts about sexual prowess while still flexing on her rivals: "Bitches ain't got punchlines or flow/ I have both, and an empire, also."
Beyoncé becomes a mediator between Nicki's personality shifts, cooing out a sultry hook that keeps the vibe soft in view of Minaj’s hard lyricism. She plays the Pippen to Nicki's Jordan, riding out one of Hit-Boy's most hypnotic beats. Every aspect of the production is seductive, smooth, sharp: James Brown grunts, drums bounce, and spacey keys wind their way into the hook. Bey's breathiness builds alluringly until the moment Nicki finally references her own verse on Kanye West’s "Monster" (a reminder that, in one song, she's already boasted four different flows). If you remember nothing else from The Pinkprint, remember this: Nicki Minaj is the only woman who can get Beyoncé to do her bidding. When a woman capable of "stopping the world" tells you to "carry on", there's no choice but to bring it.

10. Demi Lovato ft Cher Llyod "Really Don't Care"

After the heavy one-two punch of "Nightingale" and "In Case," "Really Don't Care" is a buoyant reprieve, the pop equivalent of a glass of cool lemonade on a hot summer day, and an obvious single choice. "Now if we meet up on the street, I won't be running scared!/I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air!" Lovato sings with beguiling sassiness, before Cher Lloyd struts in for an curiously brief cameo.
