She thinks she is funny, but she really doesn't have timing or other comic skills, so I think that is why she is often a laughing stock.

Actually, when you can pull comedy off, you can be a sexy, star type, even when you're unattractive (think Mae West), because deftness has its own appeal. But Celine lacks a certain style, a certain smoothness. So, I think she's personable, but I think that is also why she is not one of those enigmatic star types, despite her talent and mega-success.

Then, there are people who are physically beautiful, but they don't have the personality, so the minute they open their mouths, any illusion you had about them disappears. I think that is what I feel about Britney more than anything else. She's attractive. I don't know if she can sing, but I do know I like many of her songs, but you hear an interview with her and it's really hard to buy into her celebrity. There's nothing ethereal there. Michele

Awkward can be very appealing. I have found that certain people who are really tring but falling short can be attractive in a goofy kinda of way. I agree she has some real quirky ticks but that is what makes her unique.

When I see Brit trying so hard to be sexy I laugh and cringe and just wish she would go away. Madonna could pull that off 20 years ago because she did it with style and a sense of irony. Today she is getting real close to parody.
