I wasn't aware that falling out of your clothes and projecting a trampy image to a bunch of children was considered talent (Madonna notwithstanding)... I mean, she can't really sing as well as all that, not enough to get a star. Popularity really doesn't mean much when it comes to talent (sometimes the majority just means all the stupid people are on one side). Considering what it takes to stay big in the music business, and considering that she doesn't have what it takes, I predict that in a few years, no one's going to even remember her name. I can see it now...a bunch of tourists scoping out the walk and going, "Britney Spears? Who's THAT?"
I have to chuckle when I hear people say that. She has made a big enough impact on American culture (not enough for a star, agreed) for people NOT to forget who she is, I'll give her that.

I mean, if people still remember Vanilla Ice....
