I'm so disappointed you didn't go old school and pick Kylie....

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I actually voted for Britney...

I gotta soft spot for her, damn it!

Welcome to American Motoring History Trivia: an REO Speedwagon was a popular flatbed truck, quite fast for its time, and heavy duty. REO stands for Ransom Eli Olds, who built them, and later started up Oldsmobile.

Carry on

She needs to learn what pitch is. The girl sounds like a feline being strangled.

I chose Kylie. She's got the whole package. Clarkson is downright obnoxious with all of that screaming and Spears is white trash without a shred of talent.

Maybe she's a Stevie disciple?

Actually, of the group she's the only one I have even a shred of respect for. I actually like the way she sounds.

Thet last 2 make me wanna totally bard, so I went with Kylie

[Serrart]

I like Kylie Minogue, but I voted for Joss Stone: she is pretty soulless when she sings these days, but I'm convinced she can do much better.
