The examples her stans are posting to show she's "experimental" are mostly way off. Is she diverse? Occasionally. Is she experimental? Aside from many songs on Blackout, rarely.
And I'm not trying to be shady, but it's well known that Britney isn't very involved in the creation of her music. As an artist, I don't see how you could consider her experimental, when she has little control over how the songs are initially written.

Yes, she has. You just have to have a diverse taste in music to spot all the musical references and the things that has been brought to the table throughout the years.
She always has the most progressive and diverse sound, for example if we consider her last two albums: Mmm Papi, Circus, Kill The Light, Unusual You, Amnesia, Inside Out, Hold It Against Me, How I Roll & Trip To Your Heart. And those are her most "generic" albums according to many people yet they are more experimental than most of the other poptarts entire careers.
Circus was a sort of blueprint and had bit and pieces for what would become the sound of the it girl of 2010: Ke$ha (see: "Trouble" & "Shattered Glass") and
Femme Fatale was the first mainstream female pop album to feature so much dubstep influences (I won't insult you by listing all the popstars who has followed her lead). I find it odd how some people can't never face the truth about Britney's music because not only is it sonically ahead of its time, it is also easy to spot who has been influenced by it.
By the way, the thread didn't ask who was more 'in control' of their career (and if you knew what goes on behind the scenes and the tight grip the management and the record label constantly have on their singers, you would understand it's all an illusion). It's about who releases the most experimental and forward thinking pop music, and except Rihanna no one come close.
@ Gaga winning yet no one has proved she's experimental.
