What's up with no love for Britney? Sure, she's musically inept and can't sing for s&*t, so what? I place her and most teenyboppers in a similar category - "entertainment" Great fashion, exciting shows, visual appeal. The girl can dance and is flashy, with a great body. Ya know what that does for her? Makes 12 year old girls want to be like her and make 12 year old boys want her. This equivilates to multiplatinum status, because I'll guarantee the majority of her record sales aren't to the 21-30 crowd.
Musical entertainment is great for what it is , entertainment. I do find a difference between Britney and someone like Aguilera who can actually sing but generally, great marketing, great image and a danceable beat will equivalate to sales, not the "message" that she'strying to convey. Ya think the backstreet boys and Nsync are huge because they have a message? Hell no, they are products of the same entertainment formula explained above. But hey, if you dig the music and the show, nothing wrong with that. I personally have little respect for what she does, but I'll say this, Spears does what she does, with her particular audience, EXTREMELY well and I can't fault her for it.
