"How can absolute talent voids like Britney Spears and her ilk warrant anything but derision when compared to actual musical ability and creativity?"

Now, don't get me wrong here, but... Britney Spears and singers like her actually do have *real* talent. *NOT ALL OF THEM DO.* But some do, such as the ones that came from the Mickey Mouse Club like her and Christina Aguilera.

They have real singing talent.

However.

You are correct in that they are riding a corporate wave of success and that they do NOT write their own music.

They are corporate creations.

If you are not coming up with the MELODY in your music, you are not writing your own music.

That's the bottom line.

Back in the day, perhaps even today, Scully wouldn't be considered as beautiful or sexy when pitted in terms of Asian idea of beauty.

Interestingly enough, Christina Aguilera is considered stunningly beautiful there, without the scary make-ups that is.

I don't know what happened there, you just happened to have responded right before I checked my email or something. Maybe you just have awesome timing, because while I waste a TON of time on the internets, I definitely sort of maybe have a life.

Nah I totally understand what you mean. I'm not talking about my personal tastes per say, I'm saying I could understand people thinking that they were cute at first. I find both to be rather plain, though I wouldn't go so far as to say that they were fugly. It's about the overall package imo, but if the face isn't cute, it's a no-go.

To be honest, I never thought they were hot or cute. NEVER. Aguilera was close, but no.

I'm more into pretty faces. Spears and Cyrus are fugly as hell. I don't know what you Americans see in them... or any of my other Asian friends...

People say I have a weird taste in girls

No, no, I'm saying they WERE cute at first, at least compared to the monsters they've become. D:

... you categorizing Spears and Aguilera 'CUTE'???

*SLAPS*

Snap out of it!!


In reply to this comment by JAPR:
Not at all, if anything they're FAR worse. The advantage to the asian ones is they come in swarms of cute girls instead of one by one.

Christina, not Christine.

Fixed. Thanks.

"On Our Way" by Christina Aguilera. Just a shot in the dark.

@ Raven

That's probably because you don't hang around with Paris Hilton-type of party girls. Where have you been all these years? You don't remember the days when media started calling Madonna an ideal feminist, and that somehow got her kissing on stage with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera?? And the day after when people called it 'disgusting', other people defended the action by calling it a 'feminine expression'???

I've had the mortal displeasure of hanging around with a lot of brain-dead college girls, thanks to my party loving roomates. And these girls actually quoted Beyonce (the singer) to prove feminism to me. The whole argument started when they started driveling about what they learned in feminist class that afternoon and how they were 'oppressed' by the men all these years, and how it prevented the female gender to truly 'express' themselves.

The recent rise of 'expressive feminism' clearly had a huge impact on pop culture, and definitely are related to one another. The corporate world merely followed the trends, and all they did was identifying the market and going with the flow. In media, it is used as an excuse to further exploit the already lucrative idea of 'sex sells'. And as individuals, we are no longer allowed to tell them not to do it, because if you did, you'd be 'oppressing' women. And they've been selling sex for quite awhile, but the difference is that this time they've got the philosophic community on their side, so now you've got to argue against feminism when you're trying to limit them.

The MTV and the gangs did capitalize on this and thrived and using it as an excuse to start going with raunchier, naughtier shows without getting backlashed for being immoral. But the point is that the feminist idea was already there to embrace these things. And it was just a matter of time before major celebrities in popular culture started marketing themselves as 'newage feminists' and embraced this idea of woman 'expressing' herself with open arms, by justifying themselves from selling sex appeal, and just ran with it through mountains and oceans.

I mean, today's line of pop artists such as 'the pussy cat dolls' make the old 'spice girls' look like a bunch of Mormons in Halloween costumes. And I would've thought I would at least be 40 when I started talking about the big 'morality' subject and 'young people going too far'. But the transformation of attitude in popular opinion has been so rapid that even a person in their mid 20s like me are starting to fear if we really ARE that decadent.

So tell me, how are they not related?

p.s I'd like to see some female sifters' comments here to see what they have to say about the subject.
