@number1k9 I kinda see it. But, it still is a stretch.

@mrohyoudidntknow Don't think of any dates. I know Robyn was on the US Teen Pop scene before Britney/P!nk/Christina. Think of it like this: I feel like if a record label wanted to mold a new pop star who was a combination of Britney, P!nk, & Christina... they would be looking for someone who is similar to who Robyn was during the beginning of her career/90s era. Does that make sense? I don't think late 90s/early 00's P!nk, Britney or Christina, 1 by 1 is ANYTHING like 90s Robyn

@number1k9 I guess I don't understand your logic. How can someone remind you of somebody else, when they're the original? To me, that just sounds like an insult. Honestly. That's like going up to someone who just did a cover of a song and saying, "Hey, you know what that reminds me of...Pearl Jam." Well of course it does, they were the ones to do it first. The cover doesn't remind you of the original band, the original band reminds you of the cover.

@mrohyoudidntknow No! I mean like Robyn's 90s R&B/Pop music reminds me of the kind of artist you'd get if you combined P!nk, Brintey, and Christina's debut sounds/styles. I know they all came out and achieved their big debuts a few years after Robyn. I'm only comparing styles now that I look back on Robyn's US debut.
