I'm not going to vote on this one.The fact many people think you can't compare Michael & Madonna's status to Britney is perfectly understandable.But the thing is, out of Christina, Pink, Avril, Beyoncé, Rihanna, GaGa & Katy, she's the one who came the closest.Of course her discography and videography is not on par with of Michael & Madonna (I would also add Janet & Mariah) but , really, who is?
Her team and her have trademarked a style that is immediately recognizable and you also have to take into account her out of this world record sales, her iconic imagery, her signature songs, her career accomplishments, her popularity, her controversies (essential to every pop legend), her polarizing way of pulling off pop songs, her memorable performances, her humble personality (especially since she's the biggest star of the 21th century), her problems, her comeback... It's a rollercoaster, come to think of it !
PS/ Another thing that separates her from her peers is the dichotomy presented by her character as a popstar (every popstar is a character).What I mean is that one day, she can sing XXX rated songs and be half naked in her videos and the next day be the sweet & innocent woman next door on interviews or media events (or hanging at Target/Starbucks with cheap clothes and no make up on, as unsexy as possible) as if she was someone else. (see: "If U Seek Amy" videos). I don't know anyone who is that convincing in both roles.
