Ima disagree; Britney’s a terrific dancer, and she’s made great producer/material choices, and Lindsay can really act — they’re not hacks. Being totally screwed up people who can’t run their own lives doesn’t alter that.

(btw, kudos to the Disney casting director who chose Britney, Xtina, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling all for the same Mickey Mouse Club 93-95 cast. Somebody gets to call himself the most successful talent-spotter of his generation).

Britney was a terrific dancer. From the recent reviews I’ve read, she’s lost her edge. Lohan can act, yes, but is also a handful on the set, when she bothered to arrive at all. For whatever reasons, those two peaked before they even hit 30. Aguilera may be able to pull off being a successful singer/dancer past 30, but not to the extent that Madonna has managed. Miley’s career might just peak out next year, unless she follows Sinead O’Connor’s advice and stops trying to shock, instead of entertain.
