We all know that being a music icon easy. People look at you 24/7. And for very famous artists paparazzi are always present to watch their every move. It is like artists are never allowed to have a private time or have even a second of silence in their lives.. That’s why some prefer to take a break from show business and live a quiet life for some time.

However, different stories apply to Britney Spears and The Spice Girls. We can’t deny the fact that these girls have taken a break from the limelight. The Spice Girls disbanded many years ago and Britney took a break because she got pregnant and gave birth to two wonderful children. However both the girl band and Britney seems to be heading for a comeback in show business. Will this be for good? Or just for a moment?

I am a big Britney Spears fan. And though most people criticize her for her music, I still say she is the best performer that I have ever seen. She may not have good vocals like most artists do but her stage presence is just the best and that’s what I love most about her. But where is she now? Where is the Britney that most people loved because of her performances? I see news about her and it just breaks my heart to see my favorite performer in that state. I pray and hope that everything will be well soon and we’ll be seeing more of her, back where she should be, on stage.

American Idol is one of the reality shows that the music-lover audiences watched out for every year not only in America but around the globe as well. Since the show’s debut in 2002, it has produced talents that has significantly impacted the music industry. Some of the hottest and biggest names who made it to top and became major pop stars are Bo Bice, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Jennifer Hudson, Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood and more.

The latest biz for one of American Idol’s winner, pop star Kelly Clarkson, was that her new album scrapped because the label bosses weren’t impressed with the record. According to reports by the British newspaper the Daily Star, the 25-year-old singer received unfavorable remarks from Sony BMG chief Clive Davis.

I was able to know Rihanna because of her song Umbrella. I think this song gave her a very good break in the Pop Industry. She was able to make her name popular because of this song. I’m sure many people were able to make this as their “Last Song Syndrome”. Honestly. I’m one of those! I was even able to appreciate it more when I heard Mandy Moore’s version. Indeed, Rihanna, from being a newbie pop artist last year, made a big and successful step this year.

To know more about her, visit this site: top40.about.com. I liked this quote from Rihanna: “I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.” As I was inspired with her profile, I’m sure you would be inspired too.

I’m an avid follower of pop music and I like it whether it is American pop, Korean pop, Japanese pop or Taiwanese pop. I really don’t care. As long as I hear great music from pop artists, then I’m fine with it. Meanwhile let us explore pop music not just from United States but from other parts of the world as well. Let me share with you some pop artists that I find really interesting and talented.

• Rain

I believe that pop music has been very phenomenal and with artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Britney Spears and Justine Timberlake on the spotlight, pop music is sure to grow even more. I have been a fan of pop music myself and I can say that this type of music is very easy to relate with. It covers songs which commonly talks about love, loss, emotion or dancing. I bet everyone can easily relate to these themes. But what attracted me most to pop music is the fact that it really touches my souls and sometimes make me wanna groove to its rhythm. I also have my favorites but of course I’m still open to other artists. As long as the music is great, I guess I can’t help but fall in love with it.

Guess, who’s back on the pop music scene and top 10 charts? She is no other than Janet Jackson, one of the top recording artists of all time. Over two decades in the business, she has released ten #1 pop singles. Despite of her last two albums that were “relative commercial disappointments”, she’s back to rock the pop music world yet again with her new single “Feedback.”

“Feedback” is a hot preview of her upcoming album Discipline and it made it’s way to the ninth spot in the Top 10 Pop Songs of 2007. Watch out for Janet Jackson revitalized and in fine form. Discipline’s anticipated release date is February 26, 2008. Surely, this will be one of 2008’s best.

Before, Britney Spears is one of the great names in the world of pop. Her music is always on the top hit charts. But now, everything she established before, like career, riches, fame and also beauty are all gone. Why Britney? Why?

It is true that your name wouldn’t shine forever in the lime light. Though Britney contributed a lot in the world of pop, people still continue to rebuke her. How bad isn’t it? Though she is already trying to regain the people’s support, she ends up being criticized with her every move. This just tells that a big star today can be a small star tomorrow.

It is more meaningful to be remembered for the good things done today and tomorrow than be popular today but not anymore tomorrow.

John Mayer likes his ‘Js’ – Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Jennifer Aniston – and while people may have an issue with his behavior towards the girls he dates, his music speaks different tones.

Mayer started his musical career as a member of the duo LoFi Masters, along with band mate Clay Cook. This was after he dropped out of Berklee College of Music. LoFi Masters disbanded due to musical differences, as Mayer wanted to pursue making pop songs. He was successful at this with hits like “Your Body is a Wonderland”, “No Such Thing”, “Why Georgia”, “Back to You”, and “My Stupid Mouth”.

Mayer has also slowly made a transition into blues forming an eponymous trio, the John Mayer Trio. He has also collaborated with artists outside his genre, like Kanye West and Herbie Hancock.
