For the most part, obviously, this "criteria" is definitely what appears
to be the "norm" these days. But there are exceptions, as there are
with anything: One that comes to mind immediately is Christina
Aguilera. Now that girl can SING!!! Notice she's not quite as "hot"
these days as Brittney? Could it be because she's not letting herself
be just this "package" that the studios are trying turn everyone in to?
Just a thought.

Obviously there are others as well who really can sing, but the Brittney
Spears example brought to mind Christina.
