Which is precisely why she ended up being the Billboard top female artist of last decade, won 17 Grammys and just churned out one of the most acclaimed albums by a mainstream female artist EVER? Bye.

Currently I would definitely say Gaga...ARTPOP was just cacophonous and all over the place; also Britney.

Jennifer Lopez

Beyoncé probably.

Britney Spears? If Beyoncé would release an album like Britney Jean I would probably ....

Oh, she would never. Lucky me.

Beyonce and Rihanna are the ones who knows the least about music. They can't play an instrument, write, produce, etc.

I agree with the person who said Demi Lovato. That guy is easily in the top 5 best female vocalists in the industry right now, yet she wastes it on cheap **** sounding bubblegum pop songs when she should be using her talent to make REAL music with REAL emotion in like Nightingale, Shouldn't Come Back.

Hopefully the music her talent deserves will come as she gets older and moves away from Disney/Hollywood Records.

I love Gaga but I agree. Something went wrong this era. I don't know what but I hope next era is handled better.

Anyone saying Beyoncé

Why Gaga though?

I'm not saying it is the case with Rihanna, but labels like "executive producer" mean **** all, its just something record labels put on a cd to make the artist seem more involved. As I said though that doesn't necessarily apply to Rihanna we don't know.

Do you really believe Rihanna has the most control over the strategy of her eras? Well, ok then.

christina for me

I'm positive most music critics can't do any of these either. Doesn't make music critics musically challenged. A lot of them are very knowledgeable, hence why they are chosen to analyze and review it. What's your next argument?
