Robbie Williams is a prime example as his wild personality drove him to the pop spotlight. The pop star would sing mainly ballads and love songs to melt women's hearts, to stand with a microphone and sing either about fallen in or fallen out of love. Ronan Keating is famous for singing emotional songs which what he is identified as. Cute, funny and a little bit geeky he's the one who always smiling and loves friendship singing cute candy Pop and wearing Ken doll inspired clothes. Donny Osmond was the Justin Bieber of the 70s not disappointing anything but the above. 6. The Evolution Of Michael Jackson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW6QDze 27iE 7.

Different types of Female pop stars The cookie girl is a sweet and friendly pop star with some street cred, singing about first love and friendship always smiling and having a quirky sense of style. New Pop Star Ariana Grande not only has a young following of girls she is a cookie girl to a t. A voice that no one has and is iconic, sings of what a girl is feeling and reflects that it doesnt matter how cute or sexy you have a talent. The beauty is simple and the clothes were normally at classical concerts. Annie Lennox though is remembered for her androgynous and chameleon style she still had the same voice which would be breath taking. Strong, sassy and will always stand up to each other and men, her look is edgy, hard and her personality is a diva either good or bad. She helps shy women become independent and never lets any bully or nasty word lye. Beyonc is undoubtedly the current 21st century independent woman and is making her own stamp on the definition. 9.

Harmonious and working in sync this type of boy band is mostly for the mature audience, posing and showing more than their bare talent, everyone (mostly) is included in singing and dancing. JLS are the Pop/RnB boy band which convey these factors. Boisterous, cranky, wild and full of personality, rough and tough boy bands are more street cred and more realistic than the other types of boy bands. 5ive were exactly like this even in their personal life, wild behaviour can reflect their rise and fall of the pop career. 12.

On group has not only have creative but is recognised by girl power is the Spice Girls, during the 90s all pop wanted was boy bands, so to stand out, the girls made different aliases for example; Ginger, Sporty, Scary, Posh and Baby. Urban chicks are the complete opposite to the cookie cut girls, tough and with a bit of aggression they show that its foolish to mess with girls. The early Bananarama was exactly like this with an urban look in the 80s, now the urban chicks nowadays has become more hip- hop than alternative. Sisters in real life or very close friends with soul and passion for singing in harmony and sing mostly about sisterhood.
