Amy Winehouse
The Bono-baiting British siren transforms a penchant for booze and bad relationships into bruising soul music.



Ashley Tisdale
High School Musical's breakout nymphet Ashley Tisdale is a squeaky-clean, drama-free good girl - when she's not being too hot for Disney's censors, that is …



Norah Jones
Norah Jones, the daughter of famed Indian musician Ravi Shankar, blew the lid off the album charts with her 2002 jazz-influenced acoustic pop debut, Come Away With Me. But it's not all soft light and shag rugs with her; when the mood's right, her glam rock alter ego has been known to come out and play.



Lily Allen
Our top reason to love '07 talks smack and proves that topping the charts is the best revenge.



Christina Aguilera
She sang about genies in bottles, got dirrty and went back to basics—all for you. Bask in the glory of her costume changes and 400-octave range!



Sheryl Crow
Some think she’s a troubled country-rock troubadour who’s finally settling down. Others think she’s a notorious hollywood madame.



Jessica Simpson
She may not know how to do her own laundry, or know the difference between tuna and chicken, but, frankly, so what?



Ashlee Simpson
Her big break came with a role on 7th Heaven, her big breakdown came on SNL, but Jessica's younger sister keeps on keepin' on.



Beyoncé
Destiny's Child alum Beyoncé Giselle Knowles has broken out to become one of the genre's most visible women.




Britney Spears
One of the most sought-after teen-poppers in recent memory has graced the Blendersphere on many occasions. Ah, those naughty Catholic schoolgirl video debuts — Is there anything they can't do?



Lindsay Lohan
Teetering sexily between stardom and meltdown, the film and pop star keeps everyone guessing…and looking.



Paris Hilton
She’s a paparazzi magnet, amateur-porn icon, pop singer and self-proclaimed all-around "sexy blonde bitch." Welcome to the simple life.



Christina Milian
The sexy pop singer-songwriter began her entertainment career as a one of the junior journalists on the Disney Channel’s Movie Surfers. Lesson: It pays to be nice to journalists.



Shakira
She can curse in Arabic, owns the best hips in music and knows the rest of the world already belongs to her. Are you sure you want to stand in her way?



Mandy Moore
Blender’s fave Neutrogena model arrived on the scene when she was 15 with 1999's So Real, and the rest is acne-free history.



Nelly Furtado
The Canuck pop songstress has matured from hippie vibe ("I'm Like a Bird") to booty-shake ("Promiscuous").



Mary J. Blige
She is addicted to shoes, never flies commercial and counts Elton John among her bosom pals. “I’m a brick house, but you respect this brick house.”



Hilary Duff
While her showbiz peers were off having their nipples pierced, this angel-faced TV, movie and music star quietly won our hearts. Awww…



Kelly Clarkson
Blender's 2005 Woman of the Year also scored Song of the Year with the ubiquitous "Since U Been Gone." Everybody Loves Kelly. (Yes, even you.)



Pink
Pink is just your average pop puppet. Apart from the chain-smoking, that is. And the arrests. And the obsession with lesbian nightclubs.



Alicia Keys
The soul-dipped songwriter grew up immersed in hip-hop while studying classical composition. She's a double threat!




Fergie
Think it’s all humps and lumps in the lives of Fergie and hip-pop’s biggest stars, the Black Eyed Peas? Think again.

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone did just about everything anyone on this list has done — and has even made out with a few of them.



Gwen Stefani
The ex-No Doubt lead singer and mercurial fashion plate likes to carve out an identity, or nine.



Mariah Carey
This legend saw both sides of the fame spectrum — and mounted one of the greatest comebacks ever.



Pussycat Dolls
There’s way more to the Pussycat Dolls — the hardest-working hotties in pop — than their ample, luscious…voices. Honest.



Jennifer Lopez
Gigli what? Ben who? Don't call her J.Lo. In fact, don't call her at all.



Ashanti
Supermodel-cute and supernaturally talented, she sings like Mary J. Blige — and reveres shoes like Imelda Marcos.



Brandy
Brandy Norwood may have played a squeaky-clean teen on TV’s Moesha, but R&B’s girl next door is clearly all grown up.



Fiona Apple
She started out as a fragile teen diva, cavorting through videos in her underwear and melting down onstage. But no amount of drama has gotten in between her and the writing of her love-torn classics.



Kylie Minogue
We could have put Life’s big questions to a philosopher or a priest. But we thought it would be more fun to ask pocket-sized Australian pop princess Kylie instead. And we were right!



Ciara
The voice behind the 2004 hit, "Goodies," is a catchy mix of Beyoncé’s seductive sigh and Lil Jon’s rowdy energy.



Rihanna
The Barbados-born teenager flirts with new wave and dancehall, doing things like setting head-over-heels, crazy-in-love pleas to a throbbing Soft Cell sample.



Alison Goldfrapp
Meet the leather whip–wielding siren who lords over this electronic glam-sex outfit.




Aly and AJ
It's a tweenage riot up in here! The home-schooled royals of Disney-pop, like puggles, love Christ and hate kidnappers.



Sabina Sciubba
Neither Brazilian, nor all girls, Brazilian Girls boasts a frontwoman who gives "Eurotrash" a good name, and a funky beat.



Jo Jo
Few can claim their big break came from a spot on Bill Cosby's show, Kids Say the Darndest Things. Jo Jo can.



Kaci Brown
A daring teenage pop thrush who quotes from a self-help guru and wants to skydive. Oh, and eat chocolate. Of course.



Katy Perry
The pastor’s daughter and Scissor Sisters fan says she has done bad things. What kind of things?



Bonnie McKee
At 15, she was hooked on drugs and dated men twice her age. At 18, she made a record about it.




Ana Matronic
Named after a lesbian sex position, Scissor Sisters incorporate elements of burlesque, drag shows and performance art, while Ana rocks the mic, and the crowd. How fabulous!



Ms. Dynamite
The winner of the U.K.’s prestigious Mercury Prize got her start as a DJ at a pirate radio station. Arrgh!
