So, not early 90s Madonna, then?

Just as long...

As you don't include Pink or Shakira.

Oh sure, her too. But if I was going to include every single example, it would be a much longer entry. I'd probably have to include Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez (she can't act OR sing), and Jewel (but only since the most recent album).

Pink I kind of waffle on. Shakira is about one thong and some glitter from making the Pop Tart list. (Of course, given that Britney and Christina are trying to out-skank each other, Shakira is probably not in any real danger of making the list.)

See, I would debate that, because I think Madonna does have actual musical talent (as well as marketing talent). Mz Spears is only a cheap copy.

Current Madonna, yes. Early 90s Madonna... ehh... there's room for interpretation.

So.

If you leave a pop tart in the toaster too long, can you still accidently burn your house down?

Aguilera relies on the sex appeal, but she really can sing.

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. :P

Shakira == Turbo-butt. She can sing and dance. The others can't do that.

Shakira is debateable. But I totally agree on Pink. She rocks!

I'm gonna have to go with the Sorceror here. Agulera really does have a set of pipes on her, and she knows how to use them. She's had the training and it shows.
