都发了吧.大家慢慢看.呵呵.看不懂哪句,留言,我在翻译.Janet, Mariah And Madonna Fight For The Diva CrownPosted Mon. Mar 31, 1:43 PM ET by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training Well, what do you know? I looked up Madonna's new single "4 Minutes" on a competing site that sells MP3s and it said, "Customers who bought this song also bought this album" and it pointed to Janet's Discipline. Underneath Discipline, it read, "Customers who bought this album also bought this item" and--you guessed it--Mariah's "Touch My Body" was at the top of the list.Madonna, Janet and Mariah are such huge pop divas that it makes sense that there would be some overlap among their fanbases even though each offers something quite different. It is interesting that all are returning to the market with new records.Janet's Discipline debuted at No. 1 following its February 26 release. Mariah's E=MC2 is due out on April 15 and Madonna's Hard Candy hits the shelves on April 29.Since all are releasing new albums I'd like to call for a special three-way session of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. I'd love to see claymations of the music icons duking it out, America's Best Dance Crew style--Jabba Wockeez masks and all--to see who is the most beloved American Idol.However, since I can't wait for the fantasy battle to materialize and I lack the technical ingenuity to pull a knockoff version, I'll instead resort to my familiar blog format.In gauging who is the Most Significant Pop Diva, I found it only fair to judge them in few areas--singing ability, dancing, acting and lifetime achievement.Best Singer: Mariah, can you please come to the stage to receive your award? There wasn't a need to handout ballots for this category. It was unfair to even pit Madonna and Janet against Mariah. Even though Mariah's recent choppy, hoarse performance on The Hills pre-show gave the delusional Heidi Montag a vote of confidence that she might have marginal singing talent, Mariah has never been accused of being anything less than a great vocalist. Well done, MC.Best Dancer: Clearly, Mariah could be omitted from this category and that's not to say that she does not have rhythm; dancing just isn't her focus. Ten years ago, I would have given this honor to Janet without discussion based on her choreography in her "Control," "Rhythm Nation" and "Pleasure Principle" videos. During the late '80s and early '90s, Janet set the curve for dance and created the formula used by followers Britney, Ciara and the late Aaliyah. But the release of Janet's All For You album revealed that she reached a benchmark with "Rhythm Nation" and would no longer attempt to set trends. All of her choreography displayed since appears to be rehashed routines. I must sadly admit that the Discipline videos "Feeback" and "Rock With U" have confirmed for me that Janet is content. And with that, I do strongly consider giving the honor to Madonna, who turns 50 this August, and continues to push it to the limit with every record. But I can't. Janet's contribution to dance is too great. But as I hand Janet over this award, I pull her in closely for the congratulatory hug and whisper into her ear:

"Janet, you know you been slacking. Quit being scared. Let Ciara sponsor you at You Got Served camp and show everyone that you can do more than that same old two-step, shoulder pop that you did on Diff'rent Strokes 24 years ago.Best Triple Threat: Janet, Mariah, and Madonna, have proven that they can sing, dance, and act to varying levels. But the true question here is: who is the best actress? Clearly, Janet has the most credits, including a number of television series (Good Times, Diff'rent Strokes, Fame) and movies (Poetic Justice, Nutty Professor, Why Did I Get Married). Still, Janet's shockingly unconvincing performances as the foul-mouthed, South Central homegirl in Poetic Justice and the "oops I had a wardrobe malfunction" victim of Super Bowl XXXVIII disqualify her from this category. The same goes for Madonna's portrayal of Evita in the biopic. The Nice Try honorable mention goes to Mariah for playing a teenager in that movie that starts with a G and ended with a flop. Let's just say that the winner of the Best Triple Threat honor is not here to receive her award tonight. This category has been nixed.Lifetime Achievement Award: Drum roll please, though this should not come as a surprise. You must acknowledge this woman for having minimal vocal talent, yet managing to become one of the most significant voices in pop music. She has sold more than 275 million records worldwide which makes her the top selling female artist of all time. Despite her music's consumption with sex and her public romps with everyone from Sean Penn to Vanilla Ice to Dennis Rodman to Warren Beatty, she still miraculously used her voice to speak out against the war and to write children's books.Her music reflects that of a chameleon as she reinvents her sound with each record, always preferring to be cutting edge as opposed to safe.Earlier this month, she was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Ironically, during the same time, GQ magazine ranked her husband No. 1 on its list of the 25 Most Whipped Men On The Planet. She is so powerful, I'm sure that Guy doesn't care if the fellas call him Mr. Madonna.Madonna Louise Ciccone, from Bay City, Michigan, will you please come up on this stage and receive Hip Hop Media Training's Most Significant Pop Diva award?Now, I have to make myself a Madonna mixtape with "Music," "Justify My Love," "Material Girl"... I'd better stop here before I further incriminate myself.

以下是摘的大家的回复:. khaalid s - Mon. Mar 31, 5:42 PM ET there are no singer who can match the vocals of whitney and mariah today or who can match the entertainment value of janet or madonna...so i don't care how old they get...they are still the best...the only new singers who show potential are beyonce and alicia keys and they are not all that....so more power to mariah and madonna and janet and celine and whitney....show them how its done...------------------------------------------------------------17. LouEva C - Mon. Mar 31, 5:41 PM ET In order to be a Diva you have to be able to sing. No one can beat Celine Dion. Only Mirah has a voice with the choices you picked.Report abuse-------------------------------------------------------------40. David G - Mon. Mar 31, 5:56 PM ET Celine is a great singer but doesn't have enough flash to be a Diva, and back to Janet, she has no vocal range, she has a low wisper and high wisper and somebody producing her funky beats. Whitney had her day before she got on crack, now thats all she can do is crack when she sings. Madonna is the most talented but to be a diva you need to be super sexy, Mariah is the only true Diva on the list!Report abuse----------------------------------------------------------------Dani - Mon. Mar 31, 6:01 PM ET Go Mariah!!! I like Mariah! Madonnas kind of 80's but I like some of her songs! Janet I'm not a big fan! There all sort of 80's--------------------------------------------------------------49. Máire S - Mon. Mar 31, 6:06 PM ET HEY!!!! Somewhere in the last few years the term DIVA became synonomous with SUPERSTAR. It's missing the point!! A DIVA is a singer who is (Wikipedia) "arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, manipulative, fussy, highly strung, privileged and demanding." DIVA doesn't mean MOST TALENTED!!!!--------------------------------------------------------------ha ha ha I love this blog, it's the best. Because honestly, we seriously have to give props to all three ladies for still doing it, and looking good at their age.------------------------------------------------------------I think that Mariah should win. My mom is a massage therapist, and she had a different massage therapist working with her for a bit, that womans name is Emma, and Emma is now Mariah's personal massage therapist. From what I've heard, Mariah is a female donkey, (hehehe) but I do think that she's better than Janet and Madonna put together in terms of talent and beauty. (Madonna is SO ugly now, I dunno what the hell she did with her nasty face)----------------------------------------------------------------

78. ccandol95 - Mon. Mar 31, 6:35 PM ET i think that mariah is the biggest diva!! she has the best voice out of all of them!------------------------------------------------------------100. Jade Skye - Mon. Mar 31, 7:06 PM ET How can you talk about Divas without including Celine Dion in this mix? In a way it's sorta of unfair competition, because Janet and Madonna cannot compete with Mariah Carey's vocal abilities.Report abuse---------------------------------------------------------------94. adolfostyle4u - Mon. Mar 31, 6:57 PM ET we cant compare all tree are very diferent and all are great in what the y do what it matters is what I can lern from them :) keep up !Report abuse95. Yahoo! Music User - Mon. Mar 31, 6:57 PM ET Mariah all the way...Janet like others said used to be good..and Madonna is getting old and i think may need to retire soon....so go MC!!Report abuse96. Sugar spice and everything nice.♥ - Mon. Mar 31, 6:57 PM ET Mariah carey is the bestttt!!! She has the best voice of all three and i just love herrrr!!!!!!!=)Report abuse97. Joy W - Mon. Mar 31, 7:00 PM ET I don't understand how you guys think that Madonna is reinventing herself. She looks the same all the time. I admit she used to, but not recently. What are you looking at that I obviously don't see. Same look, same clothes, same music. I don't get it, what are you guys talking about.------------------------------------------------------------

大家洋洋洒洒的发了几十页.MADONNA的支持者也是非常多的.JANET稍微逊色一点点.发些喜欢M的:84. roywiley43 - Mon. Mar 31, 6:39 PM ET No one compares to Madonna.. Madonna has no competition.. Janet is freakin ugly and her music sucks, Mariah Carey is a great singer that's it. Madonna is a trendsetter, he music rocks, and she freakin awesome... Don't insult Madonna and have janet or mariah carey's name next to hers... please....---------------------------------------------------------------Hands down Madonna. She evolves with the time and is always promoting the next sound of music. Love her or hate her, she's been around for 20 years and looks like she's still got life in her. Her talent isn't strong when it comes to voice but she's got the music biz down pack. Her shows leave nothing but awe. Although I do have to say Janet can throw a hell of a show herself. Madonna came from the bottom up. Janet had her brothers to help pave the way for her name. Mariah married Tommy Motola and the rest is history. At no point did Madonna 'break' from her career for the sake of rest or mental breakdown. The new generations, like Gwen, Pink and so on, have tried to mold into a Madonna like performer.------------------------------------------------------. Mina - Mon. Mar 31, 6:13 PM ET Madonna tops. Singles, videos, movies, concerts, trendsets, Rock and Roll hall of fame, hairdos, men, controversies, books, followers, clothing line, you name it. Mariah's second. Most #1's, hmmmm...that's all. Oh and the voice.Janet last. That wardrobe malfunction? Too deformed (abs of a man, voice of a little girl, hmmmmmm?)Madonna is in a league all her own. She arrived in NYC as a teenager with only 35 dollars to her name. She clawed her way to the top with blood,sweat,and tears using a driving ambition only a select few have. On American Bandstand,one of her first tv appearances, Dick clark asked what her goals were. Without hesitation,she answers "to rule the world!". Mission Accomplished!!----------------------------------------------------------------支持JANET的:225. Yahoo! Music User - Mon. Mar 31, 9:56 PM ET Janet is the undisputable diva of all divas. She has made her marks and she is still going strong. I like her style.---------------------------------------------------------311. kimpossy - Mon. Mar 31, 10:05 PM ET Well, they said the biggest diva so i would have to go with JANET. If it was just the category of singing i would say Mariah and as for Madonna no offense but she doesnt even qualify for a diva!!----------------------------------------------------Janet can sing she just doesn't for some reason. She has the same range as Toni Braxton I believe. Umm, Madonna is good too, and so is Mariah, but Janet Miss Jackson if you nasty is the best hands down.--------------------------------------------------------745. joe j - 38 minutes ago Janet doing rehashed dance moves was a stupid comment by you. Everyone is dancing hip hop these days and i'm glad Janet isn't and she's bringing something different to the table. Your blogs that have Janet in them are starting to get on my nerves cause all you do is try to sarcastically diss Janet. [profane] off! She's won more awards than any artist on Earth including Michael. At 41 she's still tearing up stages and dancefloors. No one else at 41 is doing that. No one! All 3 of her movies have debuted at no.1 at the box office and her videos are still setting trends. Name one video out in America that is like "Feedback" or "Rock With U". I didn't think so. Janet forever. To the guys who say Janet is ugly you're either Gay or Jealous cause everyone knows in their heart this woman is a beautiful Black Woman who's aging beautifully.
