Because everybody knows (through the title) that it's Lipton from China.

cos everybody knows she is more original than all of their faves combined.

Kinda like how this one did?

Basically.

Because (from her own iTunes bio), Britney was created to benefit from popular boy bands and girl groups who launched the teen bubble gum craze, and the comparison between a group of boy singers and a lone girl singer isn't easy and obvious.

Because she revived teen pop, started the dance-pop craze, the electronic music craze, and this year, the dubstep craze. They all hold it against her because their faves didn't do it and because without her many of them wouldn't even be in the industry today.

Not even a single lie was said.

Then why is she still considered relevant while the girl groups and boy bands died out decades before she has?

I would say the reason why Britney doesn't get called out for copying is because she is one of the origins of her species of pop. She is the original teenage female pop star and the only one to have continued success. Prior to Britney all there was, was Tiffany and Debbie Gibson and who the **** cares about them? Britney in a lot of ways is the Madonna of youth culture. She is the Madonna for teens because she pre-dates all of the other pop girls. She is the origin of the young pop star. More so then Madonna in a lot of ways because Madonna was 25 when her career started. In many ways Britney is the face of youth culture as it stands today because she started so young. So most of what musicians in pop vie for is what she represents or represented in the late 90's.

No and no. Not sure if you're serious.

That kid looks so familiar

S/he tried.

I'll give you the dance-pop one but I can't deal with the same tired argument that the virtually forgotten HIAM saved pop and made it more dubstep. It didn't.

What is this mistaken belief that a song has to be successful in order to have influence? Patsy Cline didn't sell any records at all. Yet it's obvious that her influence is undeniable in the Country genre influencing major players like Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. Same with Janis Joplin - artists like P!nk, Avril, Alanis would have never existed without her influence.

Regardless HIAM hit #1 in like 20 countries when it was released, it sold over 400k first week, was a top 5 airplay hit, has like 80 million or more youtube views and peaked at #3 on pop. It's not as if no one heard it. HIAM has had a lot of influence on dubstep. If you think dubstep is notable or not is another matter entirely.

Cause she has no interesting material to undergo the jacking detected machine.
