THOUGHTS?

women: taylor swift and lady gaga? .. and men: jason derulo ??.. idk..

I think Lady GaGa will be #2 and Taylor Swift #1, For the Guys I have NO Clue.



EDIT: Micheal Jackson OF Course!

Britney, Miley, Taylor and Beyonce

Rob and Susan

I think Taylor will be #1 and GaGa #2, but I don't have clue too about the guys.

1) Michael Jackson
2) Barack Obama (?)

1) Taylor Swift
2) Lady GaGa

^ I think the same

Rihanna

All big celebs of this year
the missing would be taylor and Gaga

Agreed.

Adam Lambert has more make up as Rihanna

Taylor Swift at #1 ??? PLEASE No, Or I Turn Off My MTV Forever

Drake? ugh

Im sorry but its Taylor´s year however maybe Gaga would get #1 but after all the VMAS Taylor should be #1 she deserves it.

Taylor is #2, So That mean Lady GaGa will be Number 1



Is anybody else having trouble with the links?

If GaGa gets #1 I won't doubt the end of the world is soon.

If male #2 isn't Barack Obama, then its probably Jay-Z.

Lady GaGa #1 Fo sho!

Lady GaGa without a doubt

LOL Brooke-lynn forgot to put #2 in Taylor before so I thought she was #3. She deserves #1 more than GaGa since she won over her more than once in award shows.

Glad to see Britney there. Beyoncé well deserved too and Adam Lambert!

Sorry beyonce should be number 1
lady gaga 2nd Taylor swift Jayz and so on
