Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Madonna has talent, all right, that I have never denied. A talent for self-promotion. Britney Spears' talent is in being exactly the type the music mavens were looking for to manufacture a "music phenomenon". It is a strange fact that a number of months before she put in her initial appearance, I happened to read in "Discover" magazine an article on the type of face that human beings find most universally appealing. They had constructed a composite of this face, and when I saw B.S. (sic!)for the first time, I was immediately struck with how closely she resembled that composite! It was clear that "Britney Spears" was nothing more than a carefully constructed moneymaking campaign, a la Madonna, (who was getting on in years), and calculated for maximum appeal across all lines, from children to older men, giving them that many more sheep to shear.
