In one of the easiest polls ever, I choose Corinne Bailey Rae. 2nd place would go to Lily Allen and I'd never choose Lady Soverign, so she does not rank.

Lady Sovereign lays into Corinne Bailey Rae
Rapper adds fuel to Lily Allen's fire
20.Feb.07 1:30pm
Lady Sovereign has become the latest musician to have a rant against Corinne Bailey Rae, just weeks after Lily Allen turned on the singer.
Speaking to The Daily Mirror's 3AM Girls today (February 20), Lady Sovereign admitted to cornering Corinne Bailey Rae backstage at a recording for T4, boasting "I told her she was boring and that she should be called Corinne "Boring" Rae."
The insult was met coolly by the BRIT-nominated singer/songwriter, who failed to take the bait.
"Corinne just said 'whatever' and turned on her heels like she was The Queen," Lady Sovereign complained.

LADY SOV: LILY IS THE BIGGEST CHAV GOING
Up-and-coming grime hero Lady Sovereign has lashed out at fellow British star Lily Allen for being "the biggest chav going".
While still making her name in the UK after early success in the US, Lady Sov has not pulled any punches when describing the Smile singer and her rise to fame.
In an interview with the Observer Music Monthly magazine, the 21-year-old said: "I'm not hating on her but someone like Lily Allen, just 'cause her dad's famous, doesn't have to work as hard as someone like me.
"You get some of the media hating people 'cause they're 'chavish' but she's the biggest chav going."
The rising MC is signed to the DefJam label, famously winning a place on the label's roster after impressing legendary rapper Jay-Z with her freestyle.
However, to date Lady Sov has been a low-key figure in the UK, although her latest media salvoes should catch the eye.
As well as her rant at Brits loser Lily Allen, the Wembley tyro also had some choice words for Grammy-nominated singer Corinne Bailey Rae after meeting her while filming a segment for a television show.
"I told her she was boring and that she should be called Corinne 'Boring' Rae," she told the Daily Mirror, adding the singer was "fake".
"She's too nice. She sings about life being as sweet as roses but it's not. It's crap."
Coincidentally, last week saw Lily Allen criticise Rae for exactly the same fault, labelling her "boring".

I think we can let the sales speak for themselves.
Corinne Bailey Rae: (last week's to date total) 1,674,965
Lily Allen: (estimate) around 120,000
Lady Soverign: (estimate) around 55,000
Needless to say comparing "Put Your Records On" and "Love Me or Hate Me" would be laughable.
