you guys are not lookin at the fact that the girl is just not a singer...madonna does not have the greatest voice but performs her ass off, as does ciara and nicole of pcd and so many others!!!her looks make her sell and that is a fact, i mean look at her counter-part shontelle who sang t-shirt she don't have that much fame and she is a better singer and thats cuz she aint in your face as much pushin the hot sex kitten game..i like that they give her fantastic producers and writers and i admit she does not sound as warbly now on her ballads as she did back then but singing is still not her thing thats why she's goin so pop and hip hop r&b on our asses...to me her best sound to date is still pon the replay and thats because she wasn tryin so hard... truth be told they have created a fame monster and whether she's talented or not (i think not really but hey to each his own) we still have to put up with her for the next five minutes
