Kylie Minogue is like soccer, popular everywhere except the USA, lol
 
Allthough others deserve the title I think it's very known that Madonna has that title, sadly enough.
I've been to her concert in Werchter and was very disappointed, Nothing sang live, no contact with the audience, that's how I felt about it...

You may have felt that way but you're inaccurate. Madonna sings live 99.9% of the time and is very interactive with the crowd. Britney and all the other wannabes should take notice.
 
LULZ. It completely cracked me up that after Madonna did that MTV Music Video Performance with Britney and kissed her, the media was saying that she had "passed the torch to Britney." :smilerolleyes: I was like... WTFever, LOL. The media is a bunch of morons. Britney is a cute little pop singer/dancer, but Madonna is a much better performer and artist than Britney will EVER be.

really dislike madonna. just someone who sells her body from the beginning. i dont see any ANY raw musical talent in her. hasnt got a good voice, not spectacular at dancing, cant write songs, not very pretty. only thing that is amazing about her is how long shes been arond.
 
I honestly do find Madonna to be very talented (obviously). She is most certainly a visionary artist which is why her videos and shows are so spectacular. The depth she puts in to her concerts is amazing. However, let's not let the music get away from us. Madonna's music is much more artistic than she is given credit for and some of that is her fault because of the fact she has been so visual in her career. Her song writing and producing often gets lost in the scheme of things. If the music wasn't good she couldn't have kept us dancing for all these years. Madonna has been with us for nearly 30 years and there is a reason for that, she is indeed the Queen of Pop! And just like MJ... there may be wannabes but there will never be another.

Let's also not forget she is 50 years old and looks fabulous!

Watch this very recent performance from her continued "Sticky & Sweet" tour. So gorgeous and fun performance!!

I voted for Mariah just because I love her lol. At least I'm honest:cheeky:. But really; she is my personal favorite female artist of all time. I wouldn't classify Beyoncé and Pink as "pop" though. Though I guess Mariah really isn't "pop" either. I'd probably consider her more so R&B.

Janet is good but I never considered her "great". There are a few tracks that I love of hers but I was just never a big fan I guess. I certainly don't see her as being "The Queen of Pop".

But the real answer is Madonna. I've never been a fan of hers but I can't deny her success. In fact. She is the only woman that comes to mind when I think of "Pop".
 
:eek: ParisKatherine, where on EARTH did you get that MJ drawing!!?? It's effing GORGEOUS!!

I think that the mods will end up removing it, though, because it's kinda big. :p Nevertheless, it's BEAUTIFUL!!

Hey, I'm being honest, and I voted for Madonna. I've loved her almost as long as I've loved MJ. Her and Mariah are my two favorite female vocalists... but I agree... I think that MC would be more of 'The Queen of R&B' or just 'The Queen of Song' or something, LOL. I also think that Celine Dione is just as talented/impressive. I just love Mariah because my vocal style/sound is very similar to hers... but I definitely can't whistle-sing like her. :p
 
Ive seen Madonna twice in London and Manchester, and I gotta say she was amazing. When I went to see her most of the time it was live and she was speaking to the audiance alot
 
if Pink would be on the list i would vote for her
but i vote for christina
she has one of the most awesome voice i´ve ever heard...just love her
but i think everyone on the list are special in their own way

Mariah can't whistle sing anymore either. Her range and voice in general is shot. I know this will come off as insensitive and even maybe mean, but she was truly awful at MJ's televised funeral, and while she played it off to emotion- I don't buy it because she didn't appear emotional, act, or dress the part either (did you see the sparkly mic? Oy!).

HHHhhhmmmm... I'm really not sure what happened during the Memorial. She did seem very distraught and emotional. I mean, she was singing at MJ's Memorial this time. They put that thing together so fast, too... I don't think anybody really had much time to rehearse at all. I don't know how I would've performed, either during an event like that. But yes... I will agree that it wasn't one of her best performances.

Right back atcha!:)

What I feel seperates Britney and Madonna though is that Britney is more of a puppet to me. People tell Britney what to do, she might have some imput, but it's very minimal. As far as her songwriting goes, Britney hasn't written much at all. Maybe she's co-written a handful of songs, , while Madonna has had significant imput in many of her songs. She did afterall write "Everybody", "Burning Up", and "Lucky Star" among others on her own. She's a better songwriter than Britney (who's never written a song on her own). Madonna takes orders from no one. I feel she is more creative and more of a visionary. I think Madonna although not a great singer, is still a better vocalist than Britney. Just listen to the Evita soundtrack or certain songs on "Like A Prayer or "Ray of Light". Britney could never pull that off as she has no range. As far dancing goes, I guess it depends on which type of dancing you prefer but that's the only area where i'd say they're comparable.

Madonna's music is much better and more meaningful than Britney's though. Britney doesn't have much to say at all in her music. Madonna at least always had a point or was trying to push people's button's. Madonna is a much better artist overall imo.

Actually, you know what, you're totally right. :) It was a bad comparison to make between Britney and Madonna.
I will never rate Madonna among the best though. No disrespect meant to her fans, because I know everyone has different tastes.

I haven't watched the Memorial yet since I wasn't home that day. I recorded it on my DVR but haven't been able to watch it because...well I just can't bring myself to do it at this time. Besides a friend of mine wants to see it so I'm kinda waiting for her to get her butt over here haha.

But anyway. Judging by Mariah's recent live performances I'd say that it's a fair statement to make. She is capable of hitting some of the higher notes in studio but when she is live...it usually doesn't come out that great anymore. I believe she really has to prepare herself for it these days.

But it's like all artists. After doing that to your voice for so many years...eventually you just lose it. Apparently it really isn't good for you too stretch your voice like that. Which surprised me when I heard it but it makes sense.

People like Mariah, Michael, Wanya (Boyz II Men) and many more had distinct voices. But as time went on their voices changed and they never sounded the same as they once did. They all still sound amazing but not quite as they did previously.

But it doesn't matter. I still love you Mariah. Hey I can dream haha! :tease:

Yeah, I think many things factor in to how a person loses their once spectacular voice. With Mariah, her vocals are starting to sound more like her speaking voice which is deep and raspy. I think besides over straining her cords, that her age is starting to catch up with her too. Voices can naturally change and lose range. It's obviously the case with Mariah. I've seen her recent performances besides the memorial and she was just as awful so I really don't buy the whole emotional excuse as insensitive as that may be. I didn't see any true emotion from her (and the cleavage baring lowcut sparkly dress with matching mic was tacky).

I don't know if that's the case for everybody. I'm a fan of the soul singer Johnnie Taylor. From the early 1970s till his death in 2000, his voice sounds just the same. Although on his earlier records from the late 50s he sang kinda high and sounded like Sam Cooke. Oddly though Stevie Wonder sings higher now than in the late 1960s/early 1970s when he had a kind of raspy voice.
