(Janet Jackson)<br /><br />Spreading rumors about being a hermaphrodite doesn`t either. (Ciara)<br /><br />Dressing up like its halloween doesn`t make you an 'artist' or 'genuine.' Aren`t you tired of that "i`m so different" shit? (Rihanna)<br /><br />She`s doing the same things as the hoes we love to hate, IMO. I don`t see anything (talent wise) that makes her unforgettable. I`m not a fan.

She's unapologetically over the top, writes her own, she can actually sing live and although she is Warhol-factory lite, she really seems to enjoy the spectacle instead of taking herself ultra-seriously (which, IMO, gives her one over ol' Andy). <br /><br />I fuxs with her.

I can't get into her songs.<br /><br />And Britney's weave looks a hot mess LOL.<br /><br />Christina's T-shirt, it's cute, but I don't see T-Pain shaking in his boots still. I would rather someone else besides her wear that shirt. I think Lady Gaga is overrated. I can't get into her songs.

I really think it's a subtle form of prostitution, sans the actual act of sex (or for some maybe). I really meant that some artists (or their publicists) have to make up stories or give them a game plan (that doesn't involve them taking their clothes off) to get their name out there, only to deny it/back peddle later. In her case, I don't think she's an intersexual, but wouldn't it be funny if she had in some way influenced a rumor like that herself?<br /> <br />Although I don't follow her, I do have to give her props for being creative, daring, and different. That's how you play the game. She may or may not get slammed in the press for her antics but she IS in the press.<br /><br />I only mentioned "Thriller" because I believe that if no one remembers Micheal Jackson for anything, they'll remember Thriller. Most music icons have those legendary record singles or albums that become so huge and define a period of time. That to me is the most important part of making a music artist relevant/legendary, including also what makes a celebrity (the clothes, the behavior, the philanthropy, etc).<br /><br />I only said that she will fade because she can go only so far with gimmicks, considering we are in a world where we've pretty much seen it all, heard it all, read it all, and people will want to go back to the music. But maybe that's just me being cynical because I'm 4 months away from graduating and I'm still unemployed (LOL!!!SOB...)<br /><br />And you are right. This is a 'singles' world. Now I understand why some artists only have 8-10 songs on an entire album as opposed to a few years back when there were 17-20 songs on an album. The last album I bought was TIP's Paper Trail because I was excited about the ENTIRE album, not just one single, where as I only download singles from various artists off amazon and Itunes. @Michael

I don't need you to be a media mastermind, just make some shyt I can listen to, her voice isn't distinctive, the songs are forgettable, and she dresses like a douche. She doesn't take herself too seriuosly, that's cool, but that's where the interest ends for me.<br />I just cant fuck with her like that. Uggggh…….

I don't know where the hell she gets these ideas for these outfits but it keeps in the tabloids and paparazzi will keep following her, hell here we are talking about her.

As both I & Ricky put it, she's a product of her own making. I really respect that.

She's the perfect artist to test run on how the industry moves forward. Spreading your legs and pausing for that Kodak to me isn't playing the press. It's falling in line. That's what I meant.

I too, like the fact that she's a product of her own making. She really seems to understand the game of celebrity and tilts it to her advantage. Britney, on the other hand, like Michael much later in his career, is an abused victim of it. The hermaphrodite rumors are ridiculous, and I can't believe anyone takes them seriously.

She is the flavor of the moment, and she is one of the VERY FEW artists of this generation/decade that has the talent to be considered an artist (singing, songwriting, performing, capable of playing various musical instruments). <br /><br />And yes, playing the press can be a skill in its own. Unfortunately, that's what 'artists' of today have used in order to create a buzz around themselves. But that too can only go so far, regardless of how secular the world is now as opposed to the 80's (ref: Madonna). It's only a matter of time before she begins to fade, unless she really digs deep and finds her "Thriller" that will help her etch her legacy in music in stone. True.
