_ **Total and complete hijack** _ Last night I saw a Shania Twain concert on VH1. “Hot” does not even describe her. She can’t sing, but I don’t care. She is absolutely and completely drop-dead gorgeous. I’ll leave Christina and Britney for the junior high boys, thank you.

I’m powerless against Shania and her magical leopard suit, but if I have to choose, I’ll take Britney and her skin-tight PVC.

Yummy!

I don’t know. I know a lot of guys out there are totally hot for Shania, but I find her completely sexless. She seems to wholesome - despite what she wears. I just think she has an uptight look. Just because you dress sexy, doesn’t make you sexy.

…and following up on **BlessedWolf’s** comment, why is this thread limited only to guys?

Anyway, for singing, give me Lena Horne over those two pale, anoxeric, media-created girls any day!

Madonna? That spaced-toothed, buck-toothed, fake ass Brit accent talking, ugly bimbo, looks like Chunk from the Goonies. She wasn’t hit with the ugly stick, she RAN through the ugly FOREST, at night. Its like saying Janet Reno looks great in a tankini.

::shudder:: … Janet Reno… tankini…

I would pick Britney she is fine, put Britney and Mandy Moore together that is one fine piece of ass.

No, it’s just that once you’ve grown up, you find better things to talk about than “Brittney vs. Christina.”

What’s next? “Who would you rather boink: Betty or Wilma?”

Don’t get me wrong, rhetoric like this is fine–at 3am after you’ve gone through an entire quarter bag.

Neither. Find me someone who isn’t that skinny, doesn’t dye her hair . . . is fully female, etc.

Wait, I have someone like that. Nevermind:)

As for “I know all guys have had this debate with their friends in private” . . .

Yeah, we have. Our debate, however, was about which is more repulsive.

While “Come on Over” is a good song,

I just can’t pass up great tunes like “Lucky”, “Stronger” and “oops… I did it again”.

Britney Rocks!

Oh, and she’s hotter too… 😃

I think JR. High would be more like it.

And the last time you won a beauty contest was?

People who focus on the looks of others and are critical generally are fugly or quite attractive… but everyone inevitably gets balanced out over time and doesn’t keep what they had or retain the fugly they started with.

There are better things to focus on and lord over people… like intellect.

You do realize that these songs are written by other people FOR her and others signed to the same label to sing, right? She doesn’t write 'em herself.

As for the second part, define hot.

I’d reverse that. You need something to grab when actually doing the wild thing, after all.

“I know all guys have had this debate with their friends in private…”

It scares me to think that someone can know what I do in private with such certainty. From whence did this power come? Perhaps a stray lightning bolt struck B\_P while he was looking at fan sites and he was suddenly privy to all my deepest darkest secrets?

He must be stopped. 🙂

Define “hot”?

Lola.

She blows my mind. That’s what counts.
