Katy Perry bigger than Britney/Christina in their prime?

She's "playful sexy", which is fine, but from Madonna to Britney, what sells is "Porn Star Sexy". You absolutely have to go that route if you want a long career, no matter what your "music" sounds like. Thus we get things like the Miley Cyrus train wreck. She's just doing what she knows she has to do.

I'm not saying I condone it - although really, what guy is gonna say they're *against" it?! - but that's how the entertainment business works when it comes to women. Be prepared to be exploited, or Go Home. I kinda like Katy better than the other two (although none of them make the kind of music I like), and she's gorgeous, but if she doesn't "accidentally" flash some vag or leak out a sex tape, something to "push the envelope", she's gonna fade away like Mandy Moore and the other Flavor of the Month chicks.

It's a shame, but that's money.

P!nk is not really like a porn star, and she still is talented and wildly popular. Gwen Stefani does not act like a porn star, and she still is popular, mostly with her band No Doubt. Adele is popular, too, and she doesn't need to be revealing anything to be a star.

And how has Mandy Moore faded away? She's still doing what she loves making some good music for adults, and if you're not familiar with this, she was the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled. What do you have to say to that?
