Remember when she wanted to be grown up and be called deborah?
I heard her discussing that on a podcast. She said she was known as Deborah her whole life and that the use of Debbie was created for marketing by the record company. She was sort of annoyed that the perception was the opposite.

Style over substance appears to prevail consistently for the past 30 years, guess we have Madonna to thank for that considering Cyndi Lauper was a much better talent yet couldn't maintain the skankiness of Madge which she projected in her MID-30s nonetheless. Britney and Katy Perry carry that mantle now, though Katy is 10x more talented than Britney and much more attractive with a sultry slutty edge to match.

Lets face it. Teen-pop idols weren't built around sexuality when Debbie Gibson and Tiffany were big. They were pretty. They were cute. They were not sexy/sexual.

Britney threw all that out the window.

Tiffany had a sexual thing going. Like a little mall rat slut, maybe. DG portrayed herself as conspicuously innocent.

Two teen pop idols. Deb had the looks, the talent (wrote and produced her own songs) and was mentally stable. Yet she is a trivia question while Britt went on to be a cultural icon. What happened?


Britney isn't a teen pop idol though.

This is worldwide hit is arguably her most recognizable song and it's not teen pop. So Britney matured into an adult pop star, unlike Debbie Gibson.

What happened? Why isn't she still on top? She's not even 40 yet. If she's that talented and pretty she should still be on top.


Christina Aguilera is one of the most talented vocalists of her generation and has not toured since the Bush Administration nor does she have a solo number one hit since 2000.

I don't know. Britney composed this worldwide hit without more than one other co-writer, unlike Katy.

Britney has had a residency show in vegas for seveal years now that stays packed. She did a couple of concerts in asia a few months ago that i am pretty sure sold out. Brit is still a big draw. Trust me. Plus she's back in prebaby form.

I've never seen that third video, wasnt expecting her to do that. I knew she played piano but she has always downplayed her ability.

The clip doesn't show that she's a great talent at all, but given that the clips are clear evidence that she's written music, it shows that the all great Beyonce Knowles is a less talented songwriter than the talentless Britney Spears.

That is hilarious and embarassing.
