Allan C. said of Brittney Spears, and I quote,

. She is no less talented than anyone else, I suppose.

Allan, you need to expand your musical listening experiences. She is far less talented than just about anybody I have a CD of. I daresay that many of our musicians here at mudcat are more talented.

What she has is not talent but a well-shaped body (according to current American standards) and the willingness to exploit it for money, along with a passable voice and a reasonably cute face (again, according to current Am. standards).

This hardly equals musical talent, IMHO.

But what do I know?
