Britney performed on Star Search when she was little. She sang, it's the same voice as now, just a bit more grown up. Is Star Search fixed? Could it be Jessica Simpson? Wouldn't suprise me there.

Jessica Simpson? No, I think that wretched sound coming out of her mouth is her very own.

It's going to be a challenge figuring out the formatting codes for the chart! Escapee, can't be Jessica Simpson. MV has been married at least once and has at least one child.

Oooo! I could just copy and paste. Let me know if there is anything I should change or someone else you want me to do. I didn't do Fergie because she has no children. Nelly Furtado, Shania Twain and Sarah McLaughlin were not born in the USA.

TYVM! Britney is the only one without any solid "Nos." I'm starting to think it is her myself. Any other names, people?

(Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but if the other blind item was a hoax, then I figure this probably is too. But if not, I admit I'm curious as to who it ultimately turns out to be - it that is ever revealed.)

Has anyone seen this story about Farrah Fawcett's secret lover? [...] Now in a world exclusive the Sunday Express can reveal Farrah’s dying wish, which appears to confirm Lott’s claim. In her will, the blonde Seventies sex symbol chose to leave nothing to O’Neal, despite their tumultuous 27 years together. Instead, she left £60,000 to Lott and the bulk of her estate, £2.7million, to her son Redmond O’Neal. Lott, 63, said: “I am a beneficiary of her estate. I have been asked to maintain the confidentiality of the estate, which I must respect.” Lott believes the 68-year-old actor froze him out of Farrah’s last months alive against her wishes, and claims she referred to O’Neal as the “Fat **** From The Beach”. He said: “I last spoke to Farrah late on the night of April 9, two-and-a-half months before she died. She was preparing to come home from a bout of treatment at St John’s Hospital in Santa Monica. She told me: ‘I’m coming home tomorrow. I love you and I will call you.’” But Lott never heard from her again. In desperation, he flew to California and claims O’Neal barred him from Farrah’s Wilshire Boulevard condominium. “I never got to say goodbye to Farrah,” he said. “Ryan shut me out of her life. [...]

Nice chart Hermi. I would never consider Gwen Stefani. She fronted No Doubt - a band. I don't think you could fake singing when you have others up on stage who would have to be in on it too. I would apply that to Lauryn also (I saw a movie that Chris Rock did, where they 'reunited' the Fugees, Lauryn sang in that film, and it was sort of ad-libbed. There is no way they could have prepared a track for her to lip sync). It has to be a 'solo' singer. Sticking with JLo. However, Jlo also did a record that was in Spanish. So S would have to be bilingual or a really good study.

I didn't think it was Gwen or Lauryn either, but they were names thrown out so I did them. While doing the chart, I switched my pick to Britney. There shouldn't be any "Nos" in MV's column and JLo hasn't toured enough. Plus - However, Jlo also did a record that was in Spanish. So S would have to be bilingual or a really good study. - now makes me even more sure it is not JLo. Fun to speculate about, though! If people toss out any more names, I'll do another one. I don't want to do Whitney all by herself.

Madonna did tour in 2001 and had a hit around that time. She was preggers in 2000.
