POP TRUMPS: Week 2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Time for another round of Pop Trumps! The rules of the game are described here, but it's dead simple really. Grade the popstar below in various categories from 0-10, Whether 10 is 'good' or 'bad' is up to you, but it will 'beat' a lower score. 5 is average score - put that if you really don't know what mark to give.

This week's contestant is:


Christina Aguilera
[Poll #1127127]

R Kelly ratings:
- Singing voice/musical ability: 6
- Consistency: 4
- H0TTness: 4
- Dancing Skillz: 4
- Chart success: 7
- Extra-curricular activity: 7
- Party Animal Rating: 7
- Eccentricity: 9
- Legacy: 5
- Best track: Ignition (remix)
- Botherdness rating*: 31

*How many people cared enough to vote :-)

If only she looked like the pic above all the time, her h0ttness rating would be through the roof. Yum!

Legacy

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I think Xtina will do pretty well on this one - thanks to the inescapable Britney link, both of them will always be namechecked together when talking about the late 90s Disney-pop era (like Blur and Oasis for Britpop).

Gave her a 6 for eccentricity on basis of mentalist outfits. See also the horrors of Candyman which must surely indicate some kind of eccentricity.

The most bizarrely overrated pop star of the last 10 years. "Come On Over Baby" is awesome, and there's a poppers-in-the-air mix of "Hurt" that is great and "Dirrrty" is fun in a club but... apart from that, if she vanished, the world would not have noticed.

See scores for R Kelly above: I've averaged the raw marks in each category (R is scarily similarly distributed to Diana Ross!) and taken the 'best song' with the most nominations. The Botherdness Quotient will obviously vary from poll to poll, but before I end the game and make up the cards themselves, I'll link back to all the polls to give each popstar a fair outing.

Can anyone see any vital flaws in this plan? No? Good.

Video star

I think her videos are on the whole GREBT (remember, Dancing Skillz also includes 'visual') so I've given her a 10 there. I am utterly transfixed by her & her choreography - even with the ballads there's usually something mental going on (eg Daddy being trampled to death by circus elephant).

can't forget the mulan song

Too timid to throw 0's

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

I sympathize with umlauts's 0's but couldn't bring myself to vote them myself (my avg. rating was probably 3-4), especially considering I don't know whose cards I'll need to save them for!

Who is going to devise the DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS type game that will accompany these cards? And then develop a production/marketing strategy to sell them IN BULK? (Divas and Daft'uns?)
