As it comes to the end of another musical year and the beginning of a new one is emerging, forums have been creating lists of hype around musicians who are releasing in 2011 or at least will be prominent in 2011. ATRL has officially compiled a list of stars for 2011 who will hit the mark and who because of their reputation will flop. Avril Lavigne, star of Bandaids, was filed under the 'Has-Been' list, which is listed under D-Star. The author pointed out that Avril's lack of communication to fans, lack of musical dedication and her reputation in hollywood is setting her in the wrong direction, and destined for a flop. Other stars who made the list are Lady Gaga (A-List), Britney Spears (A-List), Rihanna (B-List), and Alicia Keys (B-List). What are your thoughts on Avril being listed in the future flops of 2011?




The A-List:

The Trinity:
- Beyonce
- Britney Spears
- Lady Gaga

Forever and for always (or at least for the next few years.) Beyonce's status as a performer is unfuckwittable, Gaga's position as a phenomenon is unfuckwittable, and Britney ... well, she's Britney! For better or for worse.

The A Minus List
- Taylor Swift (if this was just considering U.S. status, Taylor would be A+. But, taking her worldwide fame into consideration, she falls here.)
- Pink (the inverse of Taylor. Huge in Europe, EPIC in Aussieland, so-so here.)
- Alicia Keys (such a confusing case. Big tour seller, usually has one BIG pop hit every album that pushes it to 5 million worldwide. Her biggest hit last era? A Jay-Z feature. But - she had her biggest UK success ever?)

The B List

B +
- Rihanna (she's always in such a tenuous position. She's huge, but never an album seller. People know her, and yet she still can't get a cover of Rolling Stone. The public sided with her everywhere [except in the ghettoes!] after the beatdown, but yet she can't sell out a headlining show in her biggest base for shit. But her "longevitiy" pushes her higher than ...)

B
- Katy Perry (the big difference between a bad bitch and a basic bitch - how does an album frontloaded with two #1 singles sell 1/6 the amount of an album with no #1 singles? Oh, right, Katy's basic.)
- Ke$ha (well, does it need to be said? A bad bitch would be able to get an album with four top ten hits to 4X platinum/3.8 million sold status. A basic bitch can't even break a milli. )

B -

- Nicki Minaj (maybe the biggest buzz out of anyone else, but her biggest solo hit reached the lofty heights of #14. Will she be able to become the new Missy?)
- Cheryl Cole (all you haters can suck it. How many of your faves had the debut album go triple platinum in the homeland? Kesha and Katy certainly haven't. She's had multiple hits in other European countries, but that's just it - she's still a singles artist there. And she hasn't been launched here, or in Asia, yet.)

The C-List
The C-List is reserved for those who have fallen off - but who can still have a hit! (It's going to take a lot of work, though ...)

C +

- Shakira (huge in all latin speaking countries, fallen off everywhere else)
- Kelly Clarkson (as sad as it is, she is only limited by her weight.)
- Christina Aguilera

C
- Ciara
- Miley Cyrus (was she just a Hilary Duff was hits, or does she have more to offer? The case is still out ...)

C-

- Leona Lewis (i suppose she can make a comeback.)
- Natasha Bedingfield (another weird one. She only ever has one big hit per album here, and she essentially turned her back on every territory to concentrate of US success. Funny how that turned out.)
- Jordin Sparks (I think she'll pull another top 40 SMASH out of her pocket.)


Out of Commision
- Fergie
- Gwen Stefani
- Nelly Furtado
- Amy Winehouse
- Duffy
- Adele

The D List

For hasbeens.
- Avril Lavigne
- Jessica Simpson
- Ashlee Simpson
- Ashanti
- Mandy Moore
- Hilary Duff
- Lindsay Lohan
- Jojo (you can stop trying ATRL posters!)

The F List

For the never weres. So, they can sing, they can dance - but they're vision's faded, they need to go sit down and have some babies ...

- Keri Hilson (anyone on even the C List would have taken Knock You Down to #1 for four weeks. Some A/B listers would have had it there for months.)
- Nicole Scherwhatever
- Shontelle
- Kat DeLuna
- Charice
- Jessie James
