Didn't you ever notice how she exaggerates the movement of her tongue on every single 'L'?

All of her mouth and tongue movements are exaggerated when she sings, but her tongue on each 'L' is the most evident.

It's much more evident in studio videos than in live videos, because you can't really sing live that way. When you sing, the way you move your mouth and cheeks has a strong effect on the sounds that come out, you can't just do whatever you want or you'll f*k up the music.

In videos, she exaggerates it to look more sexy and available, it's a very nice trick.

By contrast, other wannabe 'sexy pop stars' that just dress scantily and shake their behinds a bit look like amateurs.

That's true. I knew Britney Spears was far more talented than most of those scrubs out there but I can't always place what makes the difference. Yes, I have to agree she does very sexy mouth movements. I can think of a few others who seem to be trying such, with less impressive results.

Yes.

Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson seem to have chosen that 'I'm a real sweet girl but maybe I'd do you becuase you're a real sweet boy too' thing, which is pretty old and boring. Britney cuts the crap and just does the 'Yeah, I'd probably do you if I feel like it, and maybe your sister too'.

But I never understood why Christina Aguilera had to go down the dirrrty route too, since she's a much more talented singer than most of the others.

I guess she didn't feel confident enough to pull off the down-to-earth-gorgeous-perfection act of one of god's greatest gifts to humanity.
