The Bad Girls of Pop Music

The "Pop" in pop music refers to popular and as popular as these bad girls are for their hits their equally popular for their bad and outrageous behavior. From drunken rages to admitted drug use to custody battles to diva showdowns, the following list documents my personal picks for "The Bad Girls of Pop Music"

6. Madonna - Consider Madonna the OG (Original Gangsta) Bad Girl of Pop for more obvious reasons than one. With her alluring, daring, and provocative persona Madonna has pimped the industry with one word: sex

This has worked to her advantage and disadvantage and moreso the latter than anything since sex does sell and maybe not as much as it used to but for a time it did. Lesbian trysts, sex books, and numerous affairs makes Madonna a true bad girl of Pop music.

5. Ashlee Simpson - When Ashlee Simpson stormed into McDonald's one night drunk and cursed out several employees, her reputation as bad girl was cemented. Before then Ashlee was a dark-haired maven who was the exact opposite of bubbly sister, Jessica. How could we forget her lip-syncing snafu that will forever go down in history as one of TV's most infamous moments.

4. Pink - Pink has never been one to bite her tongue whether she is dissing "Stupid Girls", Beyonce, or George Bush. How could we forget her rivalry with Christina Aguilera? Pink is one of the reasons why we love the color "Pink".

3. Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera got so "Dirrty" in 2002 that she was labeled "stank" and became a punchline for some years before settling down to her rather insipid image. Back then Aguilera wore assless chaps, occassionally dissed Britney Spears, and appeared on numerous magazine covers scantily clad. Christina had no apologies but the constant bickering about her image made her tone it down quite a bit.

2. Amy Winehouse - Amy Winehouse freely admits to using drugs. She fights with her husband Ike & Tina Turner style. She makes no apologies for the things she says or does and those are the things that truly make Amy Winehouse a bad girl.

1. Britney Spears - Britney Spears is a true bad girl. No longer pretending to be oh so innocent, this hot mama is the new Queen of tabloids. Rightfully so her personal life has overshadowed her music. Custody battles, embarrassing interviews and performances, and her eccentric behavior lands Brit at the #1 spot for "The Bad Girls of Pop Music".
