Her vocal abilities are frequently criticized by members, and threads about her live performances get ugly. Yet nobody can deny that Katy Perry is releasing some of the best pop music around. "She can't sing," says TheGeoKing. "But her auto-tuned voice is great and the singles she has released this year have been some of my favorites." Meanwhile, she's already had an impressive amount of #1s in her young career and both of her studio albums have been ATRL favorites.
Essential track: summer jam "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, is what Katy Perry is all about
Christina Aguilera was an essential part of the "TRL" era, constantly pitted against (and often playing runner-up to) Britney Spears in a monumental pop star battle. Taking years between albums, she has reinvented herself and her sound with each new era, winning respect for her impressive vocal power and sometimes-daring choices. But last year marked a low point in Xtina's career, with the much-maligned Bionic flopping hard and turning her into ATRL's biggest punching bag. Still, her stans never gave up fighting. "Even though it was a tough year for her, the fans kept believing," says J-esper. "She has the best stans and the worst haters on ATRL!" adds edicsonhades.
Essential track: while "Fighter" is a favorite on these forums, her name has become synonymous with empowerment ballad "Beautiful"
Personally, my favorite Christina ballad is now "You Lost Me."
Well I was going for the song+video combo, in which case, Beautiful is perfect. For song alone, The Voice Within, I'm OK, Walk Away, Oh Mother are all epics.
