For me, she was like the bridge on the evolution of the blond pop star: from Madonna to Britney to Christina to her (Gwen) & to Caca. If she wasn't as lazy in making solo music, there might probably be no room for Caca. Her 3 albums seems like a mismash of The Fame & Born This Way. If Gwen was prolific from 2008 onwards, Caca will be labeled a copycat. Too bad Gwen is out of the pop queen race now, it would have been more fun with her on the scene.

I missed the mid 2000s when the pop starlets where the triumvate of Gwen, Nelly F, and Fergie: ladies with swagger who were less fake than the pop starlets now. For me, that was the height of 2000s music, until it got swagger-jacked by the commercial friendly triumvate of Caca, Rihanna, Katy - although I love the last 2, not Caca.
