Saw this at Pulse, thought it would be an interesting poll.
Let's try and be objective.

Britney is definitely the better performer, but Taylor is still young and doesn't have the stage experience that Britney has. I have never heard Britney sing live (I don't believe) so I don't know what Britney's true vocal compared to Taylor's is. But artistically, Taylor wins hands down. But I don't know who would beat Taylor in the artistic category. As a teenager, writing every song on two album, mostly single-handedly and then having the mega-success she has had is a huge deal and definitely shows that she has some major talent.
I don't know the background information on Britney, like I do Taylor so I really cannot make a fair decision. I would certainly have a bias towards Taylor though, just based on the music alone, as she is one of my favorite artists.

I agree for the most part with Zack.

IMO, they both have strengths and weaknesses
Taylor is a mundane songwriter IMO. But that's only from what I've heard (which is her singles), so I could be wrong. But from the sounds of it, the lyrics to a lot of her songs are very childish and not that hard to come up with. Britney has only written 2 songs I believe fully by herself so Taylor has her beat in that category, but the 2 songs (one being Everytime) were good though.
Taylor is a good singer live, while Britney (from all the videos i've seen) is decent. It kinda depends on the song ("Shadow" was a mess, but she can sing a song like YOK well live). I'd say Britney has a lot more stage presence than Taylor does, but that's probably because, like Zack said, she's had a lot more experience.
Both are talented. I kinda just hated how people at Pulse were discrediting both of them a lot.

I think her team is very smart too. The way they marketed her as the girl next door, and basically how Taylor does everything as "the nice girl next door" type thing really helped her out, because she's really relatable.

Mark, you can add a poll can't you? Like if you create a thread you can always add a poll to it.

see, I asked people to try and be objective and some people weren't mature enough to do it. Sad.

Britney isn't even that talented though. She barely writes her own songs. (Big deal, she wrote a few good songs in a 10 year career. Don't care.) She is an average singer at best. You can find someone who sings miles better in your average high school, or on American Idol. She can dance a bit? Big deal, I could go to my local dance studio, and show you girls that would blow your mind away.
Britney is an average girl who just happened to get lucky. Nothing more than that.

You make valid points, DJ, but what else does Taylor have to offer? I guess songwriting is subjective because I think she's pretty mundane. I think she's a pretty average singer. So that doesn't leave her with much either. I could say the same thing about her - how she's an average girl with a pretty good voice who got lucky. It goes both ways.

I'm not saying I don't agree about Taylor. Taylor can't sing live, but she writes her songs, and I personally love them. For me, someone gains a lot of respect for writing songs. No matter how good or how bad. Taylor isn't a bad writer at all. She has wrote a lot of songs about teenage love and some people don't like that, but I think they are good...this 3rd album will really see how she is as an artist. Will she grow as a song writer or stay the same.
now if I want a show, I'll see Britney in concert. BUT she could easily be replaced with your average nobody. Your average nobody can't play guitar or write songs. I mean it might not be THAT hard but Taylor is more a musican and Britney is more an entertainer. and It is easier to be an entertainer

The sad thing is I feel like Britney has written a lot, but Jive chooses not to go with the stuff she writes

^Yup!
She wrote "State of Grace" and co-written most of all the unreleased tracks. Including BTG, ATWK, etc...
