Britney, GaGa, Beyonce: Who Brought It?

It's an exciting time for music lovers this year, especially for fans of their beloved female artist. Not in a long while have so many high profile ladies released their musical; offerings in tandem (one behind the other) causing both comparison and scrutiny to be immense. It almost harkens back to a time when icons such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and Madonna all competed for the top spot.

While the past year has been an active period for female stars such as Ke$ha, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry, the eyes of many glared longingly towards 2011. A year which would see Pop's heavy-hitters Lady GaGa, Britney Spears and Beyonce vie- in tandem- for the pole position.  It goes without saying that 'singers' in the vein of Rihanna's and co seem to pop up every year on the Pop music spectrum, yet, no three ladies have amounted the success or of a following as these ladies.

With the release of Britney Spears' 'Femme Fatale' along with the impending release of Lady GaGa's 'Born This Way' and Beyonce new album it definitely leaves the question: Thusfar, who has brought it?!
