Staten Island-by-way-of-Pittsburgh. The big voice of her generation, full stop. From the self-titled debut (1999, four #1s including 'Genie in a Bottle') to 'Stripped' (2002, with 'Beautiful' as a generational anthem), 'Back to Basics' (a smart 1920s-jazz pivot), and 'Bionic' (the underrated electro-pop curveball). Five Grammys, a coach chair on The Voice, the Mickey Mouse Club / Britney / Justin Latin pop-trinity mythology. Anyone who can't see her as one of the great pure singers of the 2000s isn't really listening.
