It amazes me how many idiotic people out there think that Christina Aguilera will outlast Britney Spears. That is totally IMPOSSIBLE, since Britney Spears is already noted as one of Pop music’s greatest icons along with Madonna and Michael Jackson. Whilst Madonna paved the way for women in pop music and became a global icon, many respected musicologists recognize the fact that Britney Spears single handily brought back teen pop onto the music map. I mean, even Jessica Simpson admitted that it was because her record label wanted a next Britney she was signed with her record label. Now, do you here about people trying to be the next Christina? Nope. I mean, people are even asking,”who is going to be the next Britney Spears?” Lindsay? Hillary? Ashlee? My point is, Britney paved he way for teen pop, whilst Christina and Co. only followed. For 8 years Britney has managed to hold the public’s interest. I mean, she has over 16 million fan sites dedicated to her. Britney Spears was the one who introduced a certain term, before Britney this term was never used, it is: Pop PrincessMore than any other single artist, Britney Spears was the driving force behind the return of teen pop in the late ’90s.
