People seem to use the excuse "she can't sing" to not like her. But she can sing enough that people can bear it, it just may not be that great. They say "she can't sing" and then go off and listen John Mayer and it's not like he can sing any better. Voice isn't the only part of a song. but Britney really can't sing. Her voice hasn't evolved or changed for the better since she started in this business. Never in history has there been such an undertalented artist maintain such a prolonged music career. I still don't get it how she's been able to last for so long.

I don't get how she got her recording contract in the first place. Come on guys, she's not that bad. Give her a break. She CAN sing you know. So what if maybe she's not the best?

There's a difference though. John Mayer has some really deep lyrics-- where are Britney's? I personally think John Mayer's lyrics don't make sense.

Well Britney is probably the most successful new artist in these past 6 years. She has sold close to 55 million copies - I can't think any other new artist that can claim something like that. She still remains viable with her latest single a smash on TRL and radio. And her supposed "flop" album "In The Zone" looks to be back in the top ten on the top 200. People enjoy her music, just get over it. You dont have to be the best singer to achieve complete worldwide success the way Britney has. Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera can sing better than Britney but Britney remains more successful, more famous, and more sought after.

Saying Britney can't sing is incorrect. ANYONE can sing, just some people can't sing well. The fact with Britney is that she doesn't sing, there is so much background vocals and electric crap on Toxic, it's barely even her voice anymore.
She has a decent voice, not a great range, but a decent voice, she just doesn't use it.

I personally think John Mayer's lyrics don't make sense. Something's Missing by JM... I'm not alone I wish I was Cause then I'd know I was down because I couldn't find a friend around To love me like they do right now They do right now I'm dizzy from the shopping mall I searched for the joy but i bought it all It doesn't help the hunger pain And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate Something's missing And I dont know how to fix it Something's missing And I dont know what it is At all When autumn comes It doesn't ask It just walks in where it left you last You never know when it starts Until there is fog inside the glass around Your summer heart Something's missing And I dont know hot to fix it Somethings missing And I dont know what it is At all I cant be sure that this state of mind Is not of my own design I wish there was an over the counter test for lonliness like this Something's missing And I dont know what it is Something's missing And I dont know what it is No I dont know what it is Somethings different And I dont know what it is No I dont know what it is. This song is utterly exasperating, it nearly takes my breath away... I think maturity is a big thing with Mayer and his music. For instance most teens couldn't tell me what 'satiate' means. Maybe its just me, but I think Mayer's lyrics are among the best out there now.

And who said anything about anyone having to write the best lyrics...the lyrics could be complete crap, all that really matters is how it sounds and "Toxic" sounds good!

Hmmm...wasn't this thread supposed to be about the 1/30 chart? Just thought I'd remind everyone. ;)

After seeing the chart, I have these offerings:
YAY @ Jason Mraz's Top 40 return! 6 Top 40 entries! I didn't know Michelle Branch had already begun to drop.
Usher is most added.
