But they don't NEED a contemporary male pop artist on it if he's just taking up space that could be filled by those more deserving--Janet is just one; as love100 said, Bjork, Nancy Sinatra and Deborah Harry (is Blondie on it?) have also done much more for music than Justin.
It's like, you don't have to represent every generation just for the sake of it. They need to be more stringent.
But really, Justin hasn't done much in about three years, and I don't think *NSync's work is really respected that much by the industry, so IDK. I guess John Mayer If he's considered "contemporary") could have made it, or did he? *checks*
Oh yea, they could've went with John Mayer... but has his music really been all that impactful?
Also, why are some of you surprised Janet failed to make the list?
Everyone pretty much blacklisted her after the whole Superbowl thing. They'll never let her live that down, and it probably influenced her position on this list.

The same goes for Britney's breakdown.
Yep. I totally agree.
Vh1 and MTV are partners, if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I don't think Britney would've been on it anyway. & if anything MTV have still been trying to make up for her Gimme More performance.
Well, I guess since Timbo doesn't actually make solo work in the traditional sense and isn't considered a singer, he can't be on the list and he wouldn't be anyway because he isn't that great. Neither of them are.
He hardly produced anything on JT's first album, and yet one of the songs he did produced ended up being the most successful single from that album, and if anything his most critically acclaimed one. He is the definition of overrated. I didn't even realize how much I detest the man until this thread.

Alica Keys and no Rihanna or Gaga...
