^You crack me up, Bychance. I adore the way you vehemently defend Janet and Aaliyah.It makes me want to like them more.

NO GREAT TALENT! R KELLY, 'NUFF SAID!
I have heard every song you listed. Who the hell said Ciara was any better? Aaliyah, Rihanna, Ciara: looks definitely helped them. Very attractive, yes. Great voices? HELL NO! Aaliyah was ok, tolerable, which is more than I can say for some of the others screeching on the radio today.
What does her hair have to do with her voice? I'd rather hear someone who was wonk or cock eyed and could sing. I can always shut my eyes and listen.
Sorry, my friend, but I stick by what I said. She wasn't great. Ok, like someone said, but nothing above that.
Great singers are people like Whitney (BC), Martha Wash, Aretha...
IMO, there are more than one way to sing. You don't have to shout and holler to be considered as a great singer.
The hair comment was a joke, there was a rumor that Liyah was blind in one eye which is why she always covered it with her parted hair, lol. With the exception of marrying R.Kelly, that was basically the only rumor that swarmed around her.
ITA, that's why I can at least stomach her. Some of the others, not so much. I respect Madonna for knowing how to work the press and gain notoriety for things other than her music. She's become a true powerhouse.
The others just seem to think we're all stupid and won't see them for what they really are: marginally talented girls who use their sex appeal to sell records.

Chrissie Hynde !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say I agree with him. Crissy Hynde hasn't had a hit in years. She couldn't make it in today's market.
Sad but true. You have to be pretty--or at least be able to masquerade as pretty--to make it in the modern pop music industry.
I would say yes, to a degree it is that way. Women are far harsher on other women (especially those who are famous), than they are on men. Men seem to get a free pass when it comes to their looks. But women, on the other hand, get picked apart mercilessly. I don't feel like getting into the reasons why, because it's kind of complicated, but that's just the way it is right now, unfortunately.
