Music experts back Britney in the battle of the divas – but who gets YOUR vote?
So, this morning we revealed that the charts will soon be resembling a high-glamour version of the Topshop changing rooms at 3pm on a Saturday, as Britney, Christina, Leona and Beyonce all release singles on the same day.
The four ladies have sold approximately 378 billion-million-zillion records between them in the past (we counted) – but who’ll come out on top this time, when their singles hit the shops on 3 November? Well, the smart money’s on Britney – HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo reckons her big comeback single Womanizer is likely-ish to pip the others to the post. “We haven’t had a heavyweight chart battle like this for a while,†he says. “It’s wide open but you have to fancy Britney, perhaps just ahead of Leona.†Let’s look at the facts – Britney’s Womanizer is definitely the most talked about of the four songs – and it has a steamy video (when heatworld took its bi-annual trip to the gym the other day, every man in the room suddenly stopped their sweaty grunting to gaze at Britters when the video came on…and probably did an altogether different kind of sweaty grunting when they got home).
Britney’s old rival Christina, on the other hand, is releasing a track called Keeps Gettin’ Better – it’s the title track from her Greatest [gosh] Hits collection – and she’s certainly been doing lots of promotion for it, parading around in a succession of skimpy outfits. Beyonce can’t be ruled out either – her quirky ballad, If I Were A Boy, is a bit of a departure for her, and could draw in a few new fans. And finally, our very own Leona is, amazingly, the biggest-selling artist of the year in the US, and her single, Forgive Me, is more up-tempo than her usual fare. Plus, with The X Factor fever in the air, she might be on people’s minds. So, who are you backing in the big race for the top?
If she’s gonna loose, i want her to loose to Christina. Ofcourse, its probably gonna be a Britney vs Leona thing. We all gotta buy it and make sure she trumps britney
I’m personally not convinced that womanizer is a dead cert number 1 anyway, people were raving about gimme more and it didnt do that fantastically. If leona had a xfactor performance last weekend or this weekend, instead of that (bad) cover of hero, she’d be a dead cert number 1 imo.
OMG LEONA BRITNEY BEYONCE AND CHRISTINA are my top top favourite singers EVER!!! since i was a child!! (except leona cos i didnt know her then but since her first x-factor audition back in 2006)
BUT .. I think Beyonce is my favourite by a lil bit as she is a huge performer/ dancer aswell cos i love dancing.. and she always starts new things like she was the first person to release the dvd album
But i dont mind who wins this, Christina wont cos shes doin no promotion like on tv… Britney probly will cos shes probly got the biggest fanclub… Beyonce might cos she has a huge fanclub too and everyone knows her from movies too, and leona is brittish and like all of britain are in her fanclub lol
Maddz is right just a bit of fun & anyway LEONA is winning now, how it should be!
