Is it normal that i don't really care for female singers?

I'm a female who listens to rock and metal (not that screamo/gutter-rolling crap), I also listen to country sometimes and a bit of rap (not the mainstream stuff that's so popular these days). Anyway, out of all those genres I don't like listening to female singers. I find most of their voices mildly annoying and I just don't care for their songs. There's about 2 heavy metal bands with the lead singer being female, that I actually like. When I tell people this they find it weird especially since I'm a female myself. Is it normal?

    Try a bit of Billie Holiday or Bessie Smith. I could go on, but choose not to. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

        The drummer played drums and keyboard at the same time, plays drums with his feet and right hand and keyboard with his left hand, weird.

    I'm a guy and I mostly listen to female singers. I like melodic, well-composed music.

        There sure are; Emiliana Torrini and Bjork in particular.

    I like any voice that's honest, soulful and unique. In general I probably prefer female singers though...P.J Harvey, Brodie Dalle, Abbe May, Kate Bush, Taylor Hanson, Patti Smith, Alice Cooper, Lana Del Rey, Tori Amos...

    Whatever you like, I guess.
