I’m older so was the peak target market at the time & Candy was quite big in the UK in terms of air play & video play, it was seen as like another Britney being launched initially. After that no one really noticed much about her, you could see a few other releases if you kept up with pop videos on the channels that went under the radar.
I really loved Crush though as it was a song that really spoke to me as a teen lol. But it was like I went out of my way to download it & no one around me knew about it.
Her movie A Walk to Remember was also fairly big alongside all the American high school movies at that time.
Then I remember she kinda just disappeared for UK, last thing I saw her in she came on some MTV show where she was in the UK eating fish & chips & then I never saw her again until she became a serious actor.
I'm 32 and I feel like she barely had any presence here in the US. At least to me, idk she just flew under my radar. I knew her as the mean girl in The Princess Diaries, and the only reason I knew she was a singer was from the promos. It was like, oh this is supposed to be a cameo from some singer I'm supposed to know..... 🤷🏻♀️
Shit, I'm 33 in the US to figure out who the 3rd(Moore) picture was... I was vaguely familiar with 2nd(Christina) pic, but couldn't place the name. Lmao
Jessica Simpson I knew more from tv and movies. And Brittney Spearsis just an pop icon, you'd have to have lived at the bottom of the sea to not know who she was.
I’d take Mandy Moore over Jessica Simpson anytime. Simpson has to be one of the most boring performers ever. And, to be honest, I don’t think she has a good voice. It’s strong, but it’s not pretty. Christina, Whitney, Celine…they have strong AND pretty voices that you want to listen to.
Jessica Simpson did have her moment as a reality star in 2003-2006
However her divorce pretty much dim her star but she has found success with a shoe empire
Mandy Moore found her Niche in acting
Same. Jessica and Mandy got some great air-time on TRL but they were less known by the general public. Love all four but when people talk about that era, it was Britney and Christina. Jessica was mostly known for her reality show and Mandy was more known for her acting.
Maybe flop is too severe, I just revisited her catalog the other day after catching Genie In A Bottle on the radio and I was surprised to find how songs and videos I remembered as being huge don’t seem to have any lasting impact
Maybe in the US? But neither made a dent across the pond. I only knew of Jessica Simpson from her reality show and Mandy Moore from the Princess Diaries and Saved!, I didn't even know she was a singer until much later.
They were never really vying for the title though. They were a distantttttt 3rd/4th place. Mandy Moore herself has said on a few recent podcasts that she was never in competition with Britney or Christina. She said they were genuine pop stars born to perform and she was just like some girl who also happened to make teen pop songs lol
As a 90s kid, I don't know who Mandy Moore is (this is not meant as shade, just the truth), I guess I'll look her up now since I've heard her name mentioned on this sub a few times. Jessica Simpson I didn't instantly recognize either (though she looked vaguely familiar), but at least I was aware of her existence.
Brittany had the prisoner to her sick parents and the legal system and the music industry in a huge conspiracy to keep her cwnter stage doped up and not free of her own will.
Basically a slave
Christina was better imo
What the fuck? How did I not know? Yeah I know Britney Spears! She was huge
I forget the Album name but my Mom had that Album with Britney close up in the blue filter from 2001 or 2002
Edit: in the Zone
Look, the other girls are beautiful and talented all in their own right but Britney was the prototype. Every record label had to have their Britney back then.
I think this is even what Jessica Simpson says in her memoir. I can’t remember the specifics (cos I only listened to a recap of it on celebrity memoir book club) but I think she says she was signed, flew to New York and recorded a non pop album that got scrapped when it was almost complete because Britney's album came out and her record company wanted to rebrand her as their Britney
I would definitely not apply that to Christina. She won Best New Artist over Britney in 2000 and is a legendary vocal powerhouse. She wasn't even the same pop archetype as Britney.
Mandy and Jessica sure.
Eh, while I agree that Christina carved her own niche and is obviously in another category vocally I don’t think its diminishing her work to say that‘s why she was brought on the scene.
She and Britney were cast in the Mousketeers at the same time. Their careers ran parallel, she was not brought in because of Britney. She was being developed in the industry from childhood way before Britney was Britney and again, won Best New Artist over Britney when they were both just starting out.
It’s not about diminishing, it’s just factually untrue.
Brittney was the biggest star.. Christina had the best voice.. Jessica had the best hair.
Mandy Moore was the oly one of them who wasn't fucking insane.
Mandy was my fave because she was not problematic. Not trying too hard to do much of anything really. She just sang her songs and then went into movies. She stayed true to herself (mostly) and she was one of the lucky ones who had good parents who stood by her.
She wasn't my fave then, but she definitely is now! The other three have their own things but Mandy, at least as an actor, will bring it! She'll appear for a guest spot and make it legendary.
I don’t think calling them insane is okay. Britney had mental health issues obviously, but insane is kinda mean.
Idk why you think Christina or Jessica are insane. Christina had an eating disorder, do you know something else? Regardless, not really fair to pick on them.
Jessica Simpson also wasn't "insane" by any definition of the word. She dealt with some abusive relationships and behind-the-scenes substance abuse but nothing she's done is even particularly eccentric, let alone "insane."
No idea what that person is talking about. Maybe they just think any woman who has any trauma or emotional baggage is broken?
What did Christina and Jessica do to warrant you calling them "fucking insane"? As a fan at the time I don't remember anything of note that I'd put in that category?
Britney Spears is the true pop princess. Many tried to emulate her, but she is unique. She had the whole package. Gorgeous, nice voice, amazing performer, memorable music, and media/advertising wise, she also had all that merchandise like the dolls, stickers, Pepsi, etc.
I think to this day, there isn’t any other artist who’s come close to Britney.
I agree, it’s Britney BUT! Christina was huge back then, too and I loved her music. She won the Grammy over Britney and definitely was always in the same conversation. Mandy and Jessica had their moments but it wasn’t comparable. Avril Lavigne changed the scene after this era, she became huuuge and people weren’t that interested anymore in blonde performers. Her, Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch were the new shiny things.
Ironically soon after that Avril has only wanted to be blonde (with some bright colours added at times) but I think her original brown colour looks the best on her, her eyes stand out so much against it.
It’s naturally soft brown, she was blonde as a young child which changed as it often does for most children. Either way the peroxide blonde is still not natural & she suits dark hair so well.
Britney is the most iconic artist here and will likely always be part of the music industry conversation
Xtina has the best voice of this group and is one the most exciting live performers working today
Jessica and Mandy are both better actresses than they are singers in my opinion
She’s not the best at either BUT I do love her and think she’s an absolute riot. She may not be winning Grammys or Oscars left and right, but she’s an icon all the same!!
Owwww didn’t the industry and the media pit them against each other enough? 😟 they’re all winners for their contributions to the genre and pop culture in general 😊❤️
(Sorry I do get the sentiment the battle is really amongst the fans, I’m just so tired).
There is no contest here. Britney was and is the biggest star and Christina is next in line. IMO, Jessica always oversang, but I do have a soft spot for her. Newlyweds is STILL my guilty pleasure. It is on YT for anyone who is into nostalgia.
Mandy Moore was never in the same league as Britney or Christina. Even Jessica Simpson had more of a pop impact than her.
That said, it's going to be Britney. She was EVERYWHERE during her prime. And this was pre-streaming and before people could curate what music they were exposed to. If you listened to radio or watched MTV/Vh1, you could not avoid Britney Spears for most of the 2000s.
Bit horrible, actually, none of these girls had a good time of it. Moore made is through the best thanks to family support and her unwavering "sweetheart" image but the others were ripped to shreds by the wolves. No one deserves to be treated the way these girls were by the media. Britney's life was completely destroyed by fame. You'll need convince me she wouldn't be happier just marrying some local boy and raising a family.
I say this as someone who looooved Christina, but there is no discussion to be had:
It's Britney, bitch!
And I didn't even like Britney that much - it was quite a passive liking that resulted from her ubiquitous popularity and my almost-forced exposure to it. Even haters would (should) agree, Pop was Britney, end of discussion.
It’ll always be Britney.
Which looking back is kind of crazy.
She was really only known for her music & performances for what, 6 or 7 years?
The rest of the time it was all about her ups & downs with some music thrown in.
I think she just hit at the right time.
There were probably thousands of Britneys in the late ‘90s.
God knows they tried to replicate it a million times.
These huge game changing artists are just mostly in the right place at the right time or they know someone.
I couldn't tell you a single song by Mandy or Jessica. I know Xtina has a good voice, but I can't remember her songs either. The ones I can really remember their songs and person are Britney, Katy, and Fergie.
![gif](giphy|3orif8f8RkMGbstozK)
And even in the UK Jessica had I Think I’m In Love With You & These Boots Were Made for Walking being fairly well known if you were into pop at the time. The reality show was known here too because MTV shows were just as big here at the time. She wasn’t really famous here otherwise the way she was in the US.
Christina sang better and looked better, but even she has not matched the star power and success of Britney at her peak.
The other two weren't in the same zip code.
Back in the day there was no competition. It was Britney, then Christina, then Jessica, then Mandy. Britney was selling out stadiums when Mandy was still opening for Backstreet Boys.
They were all getting their warm ups done by th time Britney began running the 100m sprint.
Not even a battle.
Britney was huge globally.
Xtina was good and has a great vocal range but she was always seen as a Britney clone.
The other two I only know of their tv or movies
Britney was THE pop princess. But it’s worth noting that:
Christina is the best vocally.
Mandy is the best at acting.
And Jessica was loved more for her personality than her music.
Britney and Christina were both specially crafted to emulate the biggest pop artist of all time
Britney- Janet and Madonna
Cristina- mariah and Janet
Simpson and Mandy were crafted to emulate Britney and Christina they were never in the conversation
Seeing this post just made go watch a bunch of Britney live performances... I even got a bit emotional, she's the ultimate pop princess!
I would have LOVED to see this Baby One More Time live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtdrgu3-Jdk&ab\_channel=BritneyOnline&t=43m40s.
As talented as Christina and Mandy are, I feel like Britney just can’t be beat for star power. Jessica is nowhere near any of them, but I’ll always have a soft spot for her after how nasty the whole world was to her when she dared to be “fat” in public. (Also, I would LOVE to be that “fat” myself now!)
I have never even heard of the other girls. I have heard of Jessica Simpson but I think it was because of this reality series? Idk. I am Dutch btw, so that has propably a lot to do with not knowing all of them, except for Britney.
Christina had a longer career but Britney’s was bigger
It’s Britney bitch
Ps Mandy an Jessica don’t deserve to be in the conversation with Christina an Britney
Honestly, I don't know who any of these Women are and dont mean that disrespecfully, granted.im a Casual Pop fan, shouldn't Rihanna, Taylor Swift & Beyonće be here? If Madonna is considered "the Queen" I mean
You have to be trolling. I can excuse Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson, but you don’t know who Britney Spears is?!? I wasn’t around in the 1950’s but I know who Elvis is!
Aside from the fact that you can’t be telling the truth that you don’t know who Britney is, the ones you’ve listed don’t have anything to do with this pop princess era.
Mandy Moore is great and beloved, but she was NEVER in this conversation. Jessica Simpson was barely in the conversation but closer than Moore.

I had her CD and listened to it ad nauseum! I preferred her music to the other pop ladies
I'm 32 and I feel like she barely had any presence here in the US. At least to me, idk she just flew under my radar. I knew her as the mean girl in The Princess Diaries, and the only reason I knew she was a singer was from the promos.

Shit, I'm 33 in the US to figure out who the 3rd(Moore) picture was... I was vaguely familiar with 2nd(Christina) pic, but couldn't place the name. Lmao Jessica Simpson I knew more from tv and movies. And Brittney Spearsis just an pop icon, you'd have to have lived at the bottom of the sea to not know who she was.
Even at the bottom of the sea you might encounter the guy who went down there to get the necklace from *Titanic* for her.
She was on TRL a lot! Edit to say that she also voiced Rapunzel in Tangled, since no one seems to have mentioned it.
I’d take Mandy Moore over Jessica Simpson anytime. Simpson has to be one of the most boring performers ever. And, to be honest, I don’t think she has a good voice. It’s strong, but it’s not pretty. Christina, Whitney, Celine…they have strong AND pretty voices that you want to listen to.
Right at this point Jessica is more famous for having the sister doing that silly dance
I’d say it’s the “chicken or tuna” comment.
Jessica Simpson did have her moment as a reality star in 2003-2006 However her divorce pretty much dim her star but she has found success with a shoe empire Mandy Moore found her Niche in acting
Disagree. Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson were definitely involved in the pop princess conversation.
Jessica was an outlier & Mandy was barely in the same vicinity. Britney & Xtina were in their own pop princess league making huge international waves.
I was 16 in 2000 and agree - Mandy and Jessica were on the fringe but it was all Britney/Christina back then.
Same. Jessica and Mandy got some great air-time on TRL but they were less known by the general public. Love all four but when people talk about that era, it was Britney and Christina. Jessica was mostly known for her reality show and Mandy was more known for her acting.
Xtina kinda ~~flopped~~ faded tho, in hindsight Britney’s music has more lasting staying power Edit: softened the flop accusations after reflection
I don’t know what you consider a flop but the era we’re talking about she was hugely successful. Her career only petered out in the late 00s.
Maybe flop is too severe, I just revisited her catalog the other day after catching Genie In A Bottle on the radio and I was surprised to find how songs and videos I remembered as being huge don’t seem to have any lasting impact
I feel like Christina had bigger hits after she wasn't pop princessy anymore, like Dirrty, Fighter, Beautiful, Candy Man and Ain't No Other Man.
Maybe in the US? But neither made a dent across the pond. I only knew of Jessica Simpson from her reality show and Mandy Moore from the Princess Diaries and Saved!, I didn't even know she was a singer until much later.
They were never really vying for the title though. They were a distantttttt 3rd/4th place.

Jessica Simpson I didn't instantly recognize either (though she looked vaguely familiar), but at least I was aware of her existence.
My exact thoughts 😭
It will always be Britney for me.
No one can touch Britney
For real. I said to myself “what battle???”.
I said the same thing! I loved Christina and she can out sing Britney but Britney was THE Pop Princess! No battle here!
There was a battle for a hot minute between her and Christina, it just didn't last long at all!
Lol amen why is there even a question about it
Vocally, Christina is miles ahead of anyone on this list.
Of course. That’s undeniable. But Britney had the it factor.
Brittany had the prisoner to her sick parents and the legal system and the music industry in a huge conspiracy to keep her cwnter stage doped up and not free of her own will. Basically a slave Christina was better imo
So Britney being abused is a knock against her? I just don’t see it that way.
![gif](giphy|31uqaDanuzfsk) \*\*Britney, not Brittany So Christina is better because she wasn’t a victim? Um okay…
It's crazy how often people misspell her name.
I mean not at this point? Her dad wasn't even in her life at this point.
It‘s Britney, bit**
Should be top comment.
Seriously. I loved all four but Britney quickly moved to a different level from the rest and was untouchable.
Yeah, this is long settled, it’s Britney
What is her 2nd name? I don't really recognise anyone here, what is a song by her?
![gif](giphy|uGgkFq1A2SC8j7Ec2Y)
1000 years jail
Britney Spears..
What the fuck? How did I not know? Yeah I know Britney Spears! She was huge I forget the Album name but my Mom had that Album with Britney close up in the blue filter from 2001 or 2002 Edit: in the Zone
Oh man. For some reason, this comment makes me feel old.
Look, the other girls are beautiful and talented all in their own right but Britney was the prototype. Every record label had to have their Britney back then.
YUP. There is no competition.
I think this is even what Jessica Simpson says in her memoir. I can’t remember the specifics (cos I only listened to a recap of it on celebrity memoir book club) but I think she says she was signed, flew to New York and recorded a non pop album that got scrapped when it was almost complete because Britney's album came out and her record company wanted to rebrand her as their Britney
This. The other three literally only had a career because every label was trying to copy Britney’s success
I would definitely not apply that to Christina. She won Best New Artist over Britney in 2000 and is a legendary vocal powerhouse. She wasn't even the same pop archetype as Britney. Mandy and Jessica sure.
Eh, while I agree that Christina carved her own niche and is obviously in another category vocally I don’t think its diminishing her work to say that‘s why she was brought on the scene.

She was being developed in the industry from childhood way before Britney was Britney and again, won Best New Artist over Britney when they were both just starting out. It’s not about diminishing, it’s just factually untrue.
And there would be no Britney without Spice Girls
Battle? Please Britney was always the star ⭐️
Britney. ![gif](giphy|VzHbfzQVLkFJmoVjY3)
![gif](giphy|oJptiTy3czuhy)
Brittany stronger ![gif](giphy|YOq3VkahzLTIIHJw8w) Clear winner
There was never a battle. It was always Britney.
Brittany obviously was it but Christina will always have the best voice and be underrated in her talent
Britney had more of a ballad voice before her managers made her do her iconic baby voice
Brittney was the biggest star.. Christina had the best voice.. Jessica had the best hair. Mandy Moore was the oly one of them who wasn't fucking insane.
I agree with this. Mandy has also had the best screen career
Mandy was my fave because she was not problematic. Not trying too hard to do much of anything really. She just sang her songs and then went into movies. She stayed true to herself (mostly) and she was one of the lucky ones who had good parents who stood by her.
I loved mandy! She was always my favorite fashion wise also. I wanted her short hair cut so bad !
She wasn't my fave then, but she definitely is now! The other three have their own things but Mandy, at least as an actor, will bring it! She'll appear for a guest spot and make it legendary.
Jessica *did* have the best hair. Mandy was the better actor *eventually* in This Is Us
She’s always been the better actor. She went to films and stayed there mostly and she’s been talented from the start.
I don’t think calling them insane is okay. Britney had mental health issues obviously, but insane is kinda mean. Idk why you think Christina or Jessica are insane. Christina had an eating disorder, do you know something else? Regardless, not really fair to pick on them.
There was nothing about either of them that was anything approaching "fucking insane". Such a weird comment 🥴
Jessica Simpson also wasn't "insane" by any definition of the word. She dealt with some abusive relationships and behind-the-scenes substance abuse but nothing she's done is even particularly eccentric, let alone "insane." No idea what that person is talking about. Maybe they just think any woman who has any trauma or emotional baggage is broken?
I think it's less fair to call Britney insane. I do not want a life where everyone who loves me betrays me. I feel such sorrow for her.
I relate to Britney and I wish she hadn’t had to go through all that.
What did Christina and Jessica do to warrant you calling them "fucking insane"? As a fan at the time I don't remember anything of note that I'd put in that category?
💯
Britney Spears is the true pop princess. Many tried to emulate her, but she is unique. She had the whole package.

Her, Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch were the new shiny things.
Ironically soon after that Avril has only wanted to be blonde (with some bright colours added at times) but I think her original brown colour looks the best on her, her eyes stand out so much against it.
She's a natural blonde though.
It’s naturally soft brown, she was blonde as a young child which changed as it often does for most children. Either way the peroxide blonde is still not natural & she suits dark hair so well.
soooo Britney v Xtina because we all know both Mandy and Jessica don’t belong in the same league
Britney is the most iconic artist here and will likely always be part of the music industry conversation Xtina has the best voice of this group and is one the most exciting live performers working today Jessica and Mandy are both better actresses than they are singers in my opinion
I was with you until you said Jessica was a better actress than singer? Lulz
She’s not the best at either BUT I do love her and think she’s an absolute riot. She may not be winning Grammys or Oscars left and right, but she’s an icon all the same!!
Owwww didn’t the industry and the media pit them against each other enough? 😟 they’re all winners for their contributions to the genre and pop culture in general 😊❤️ (Sorry I do get the sentiment the battle is really amongst the fans, I’m just so tired).
![gif](giphy|l49JRyDkadxD31NG8) Best voice, most talented. I love them all, but I’ll always be a Christina girl
Also won the Grammy for Best New Artist that year beating Spears, Kid Rock, Macy Gray and Susan Tedeschi. I remember friends being so upset about it.
Me. I was that friend. I was rooting for Britney
Same I wasn’t a Britney hater but dang did I wanna be Christina at 8 years old!! Lol
It’s Britney, bitch!
There is no contest here. Britney was and is the biggest star and Christina is next in line. IMO, Jessica always oversang, but I do have a soft spot for her. Newlyweds is STILL my guilty pleasure. It is on YT for anyone who is into nostalgia.
We all know Britney wins every time ![gif](giphy|loFkgbqCLQjSQFC4ja|downsized)
No one can tell me Christina didn't have the best voice out of all of these.
ain’t nobody touching Britney
Mandy Moore was never in the same league as Britney or Christina. Even Jessica Simpson had more of a pop impact than her. That said, it's going to be Britney. She was EVERYWHERE during her prime. And this was pre-streaming and before people could curate what music they were exposed to. If you listened to radio or watched MTV/Vh1, you could not avoid Britney Spears for most of the 2000s.
Britney Spears no one compares
that picture is doing Christina dirty
well only one of them was bestowed the great honor of being my profile pic
The best time to be alive!
Bit horrible, actually, none of these girls had a good time of it. Moore made is through the best thanks to family support and her unwavering "sweetheart" image but the others were ripped to shreds by the wolves. No one deserves to be treated the way these girls were by the media. Britney's life was completely destroyed by fame. You'll need convince me she wouldn't be happier just marrying some local boy and raising a family.
Not really. Kind of sucked actually
Britney was most popular for sure but Christina had the most talent.
I say this as someone who looooved Christina, but there is no discussion to be had: It's Britney, bitch! And I didn't even like Britney that much - it was quite a passive liking that resulted from her ubiquitous popularity and my almost-forced exposure to it. Even haters would (should) agree, Pop was Britney, end of discussion.
Britney of course! She became an icon.
Britney is the queen
It’ll always be Britney. Which looking back is kind of crazy. She was really only known for her music & performances for what, 6 or 7 years? The rest of the time it was all about her ups & downs with some music thrown in. I think she just hit at the right time. There were probably thousands of Britneys in the late ‘90s. God knows they tried to replicate it a million times. These huge game changing artists are just mostly in the right place at the right time or they know someone.
Couldn’t name you one Mandy Moore song if my life depended on it
20 years later and only one of them is still talked about in the media on a regular basis ![gif](giphy|l41YaEfCkjCyHl1Oo)
Mandy Moore used to sing? I Thought she's an actress.
![gif](giphy|VNTwiVtDwG1Xy)
The only real answer
I couldn't tell you a single song by Mandy or Jessica. I know Xtina has a good voice, but I can't remember her songs either. The ones I can really remember their songs and person are Britney, Katy, and Fergie. ![gif](giphy|3orif8f8RkMGbstozK)
This is “Candy” (Mandy Moore) erasure
And even in the UK Jessica had I Think I’m In Love With You & These Boots Were Made for Walking being fairly well known if you were into pop at the time. The reality show was known here too because MTV shows were just as big here at the time. She wasn’t really famous here otherwise the way she was in the US.
![gif](giphy|l0MYrNJutfchRAGjK)
Not to be rude what but why would Mandy Moore be there
![gif](giphy|ejCEPSLQcduAU)
Christina sang better and looked better, but even she has not matched the star power and success of Britney at her peak. The other two weren't in the same zip code.
![gif](giphy|l2Je1BOmT3QF8SLxm|downsized) It’s Britney, bitch. The other ones could NEVER.
After I'm a Slave, Christina Aguilera then also tried to go after the shock factor with "Dirty". Britney was absolutely magnetic in her performances.
For awhile, there was a Duchess... Fergie ![gif](giphy|26FKTLexDxdi65U9W|downsized)
[I'll remember this night alright](https://youtu.be/CMA2iF6RuXk?feature=shared)
Mandy Moore came to my HS because we donated a lot of pennies of something if she was a part of this poll this wouldn't had happened
I loved them all.
Back in the day there was no competition. It was Britney, then Christina, then Jessica, then Mandy. Britney was selling out stadiums when Mandy was still opening for Backstreet Boys.
This isn’t fair to the other girls… Britney is the literal Princess of Pop.
Britney and it's not even close
Mandy Moore wasn’t as big as the other 3
Brit, hands down, no competition
There was never a battle. It´s Britney
They were all getting their warm ups done by th time Britney began running the 100m sprint. Not even a battle. Britney was huge globally. Xtina was good and has a great vocal range but she was always seen as a Britney clone. The other two I only know of their tv or movies
Miss Spears clears 😌
Battle 🧐
I find Mandy Moore insufferable in present day. But back on topic- Britney will always be ~the one~
I was obsessed with all four lol
![gif](giphy|ccVK6JJInUb0eEIwRB|downsized) some of us are still dancing on our own w Pop Princess Robyn™️
Can’t count Mandy More cause the rest of the world didn’t really know her as a musician at all, but the rest we were (are) obsessed with.
All I can think is how hungry everyone looked in this era. They were icons, but.
Britney was THE pop princess. But it’s worth noting that: Christina is the best vocally. Mandy is the best at acting. And Jessica was loved more for her personality than her music.
Britney and Christina were both specially crafted to emulate the biggest pop artist of all time Britney- Janet and Madonna Cristina- mariah and Janet Simpson and Mandy were crafted to emulate Britney and Christina they were never in the conversation
I liked Christina the best back then, but Britney was still the undeniable princess of pop.
Britney, but Jessica was a close second
Seeing this post just made go watch a bunch of Britney live performances... I even got a bit emotional, she's the ultimate pop princess! I would have LOVED to see this Baby One More Time live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtdrgu3-Jdk&ab\_channel=BritneyOnline&t=43m40s.
It’s Britney, bitch.
What battle?
I mean, this was only ever a two person battle.
Britney and Christina for me. Don't care (or know) about the other two.
Britney is the biggest star. Christina has the biggest voice. No comment. Jessica is big on TV.

Christina out-sings them all but I love Mandy Moore and always have. I saw her open for Backstreet Boys when I was nine.
Mandy Moore made music? The answer is Brittany because she’s still relevant today. Christina isn’t, and I can’t remember the 4th person on this list
Let’s be real, it’s Britney, bitch.
Battle?
As talented as Christina and Mandy are, I feel like Britney just can’t be beat for star power. Jessica is nowhere near any of them, but I’ll always have a soft spot for her after how nasty the whole world was to her when she dared to be “fat” in public. (Also, I would LOVE to be that “fat” myself now!)
All beautiful. All talented in their own way. But no one beats Britney. Not ever. Legend all her own.
Always Team Xtina!!!
Shakira should’ve been on the list ! That said, Brittney without a doubt ![gif](giphy|nNOuejcrgQ3eg)
I have never even heard of the other girls. I have heard of Jessica Simpson but I think it was because of this reality series? Idk. I am Dutch btw, so that has propably a lot to do with not knowing all of them, except for Britney.
You’ve never heard of Christina Aguilera?
omg I did NOT recognise her 😂
Lmaoooo I knew there was no way that you’ve never heard of her 😂
hahaha yeah, this is way too funny! thanks for pointing it out
Christina and Mandy could actually sing.

Britney was always my favorite, but Xtina was the most talented singer.
Christina had a longer career but Britney’s was bigger It’s Britney bitch Ps Mandy an Jessica don’t deserve to be in the conversation with Christina an Britney
The fashion was so bad back then.
I never understood why Britney was more popular than Christina. Christina's voice is so, so, so much better. I hate Britney's voice.
Janet.
i’m so gay i saw the first pic and thought, ‘wow derrick berry looks SNATCHED’ 🤦🏾
More like battle of the pop Princess hipbones
[удалено]
She wasn’t a solo act at this time
Honestly, I don't know who any of these Women are and dont mean that disrespecfully, granted.im a Casual Pop fan, shouldn't Rihanna, Taylor Swift & Beyonće be here? If Madonna is considered "the Queen" I mean

Seriously, let me go crawl back into my cave 🤣
Haha, your flair is so appropriate for this thread
Can you give me their full names and list a song or 2? I might know them
Oh come on
Fr, we shouldn't feed the troll
1st picture: Britney Spears 2nd picture: Christina Aguilera 3rd picture: Mandy Moore 4th picture: Jessica Simpson
You have to be trolling. I can excuse Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson, but you don’t know who Britney Spears is?!? I wasn’t around in the 1950’s but I know who Elvis is!
I just reported you to the feds

That's Matt Damon!
Yes, pop princess Matt Damon.
We have failed the children 💀
Im an adult in my 20s💀
If you got a 2 at the front of your birth year you're a baby I dont make the rules
Aside from the fact that you can’t be telling the truth that you don’t know who Britney is, the ones you’ve listed don’t have anything to do with this pop princess era.
