Since her ascent to fame, there’s been an effort to write Nicki Minaj off as a talent deficient fad- lacking the commercial power to go up against the Rihanna’s and Katy‘s of the world.

Well, as her #1 albums in the United Kingdom and the USA prove, the above is anything but true.

However, if there are any still  in doubt of Minaj’s market power, pop open the link  and prepare to be dazzled, below…

The terms Britney Spears and “dance” are an oxymoron these days, yet that hasn’t stopped the one-time stage-slayer from capitalising on the talent she left lodged in 2003.

Spears, whose inability to do a basic 8-count these days is well-documented, supposedly “danced up a storm” as she shot the commercial for the new Twister Dance game yesterday.

Speaking of her partnership with Twister, the 30 year old said:

“As soon as I saw the new Twister Dance game, I knew I wanted to be involved. I think kids will love rocking the spots and dancing to the music as much as my boys and I do. It’s a lot of fun!”

Kudos to Britney for continually stacking her “coin”.

That said, as ardent appreciators of what she “had”, we just hope her post-album downtime helps restore what made her a legitimate superstar, rather than the one certain pockets of the media insist she still is. Thinking about it, that rumoured X Factor USA judging slot may be just what the Career Dr ordered. After all, what better way to realise and correct the levels you’ve plummeted to, than watching people with actual talent for hours on end?
