Who has the best business instincts? Has retained the most control over her brand? Has leveraged her fanbase and influence the most effectively? Has franchised her brand with major commercial success - but without tarnishing her artistry?

Please don't list Forbes rankings. I want your gut opinion on which pop girl has the best business sense.

Queen Phoebe Buffay

There is no debate here but there will be anyway.

Britney and her weekly million

Beyonce

Beyoncé or Britney('s team).

Madonna, then Beyoncé

Beyoncé

I'm going with Beyonce.

I feel Britney is automatically disqualified because she hasn't had control of her own financial and legal affairs since 2007.

Beyonce followed closely by JLo

Madonna.

From that list:
Madonna
Taylor Swift
Katy Perry
Beyonce

Bey

Madonna and Beyonce... and Jlo don't know how I forgot her.

J.lo and Bey. They aren't afraid to be ruthless.

Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Miley Cyrus then Beyonce

Beyoncé is the only right answer, imo.

J.Lo is an amazing business woman as well and up there, too, but she lacks acclaim and respect for her art. Same goes for Madonna, she has recently tarnished her musical reputation a BIT.

Honorable mention for Rih.

Taylor, Madonna, and Beyonce

Jlo.
