Ava and Bebe Netanyahu sampling methods, at first they were hits (undeserved imo), but then they became a pop stans joke.

 

 

David Guetta too while we're at it.

Christina Aguilera - Powerful voice but don't have to scream all the time, we know you can hit those notes. She also doesn't seem to know what to do with it, hasn't worked with good writers and producers in many years. Her debut, Stripped and Back To Basics were the only good ones.

Avril Lavigne - Let Go and Under My Skin are some of my favorite albums ever but everything after that has been about "going back to the good old days".

Azealia Banks - She's got the attitude to make that good music but obviously the same attitude and passion to get triggered and explode at people.

Melanie Martinez created a very recognizable sonic identity and her own way of songwriting that made her debut album amongst some of the best. 
 

now she cannot create anything that is truly as good as her debut or that sounds like a cheap recreation of it.

Taylor Swift - Having very descriptive lyrics...but ends up getting too descriptive so we end up with uncomfortable songs about her man's d**k and how being jealously obsessed over makes her wet.

Sabrina Carpenter - Being hot and sexy...but will now inevitably struggle to do well with serious songs and ballads and won't be able to have success with this image as she gets older or if her looks are reduced (see Katy's pixie crop).

Meghan Trainor - Having a particularly distinctive sound...but then can't make any other sound that's as good and is stuck with being a one trick pony.

Black Eyed Peas - Making music that's very current...but relying on current trends so much that their work sounds really dated before too long.

Katy Perry - Appealing to the kid market...but then losing those same young fans when she tried to make deeper, more adult music and doesn't have respect from most adult pop fans.

Christina Aguilera - Hitting big notes...but can't sustain that singing live long-term, resulting in her having to lipsync the famous Candyman high note and generally struggling to maintain top tier vocals constantly.

Beyonce - Being mysterious with an untouchable image...but it makes her almost devoid of personality because she never lets us see it.

Madonna - Collabing with lots of new, successful artists...but not having the intuition as to who will stand the test of time and ends up with a dated roll call of collab partners (from Hard Candy onwards is evidence of that, especially Madame X, not one of those people are still relevant or made it truly big).

Madonna- always very sexy and provocative.  But during the Sex/Erotica era the general public seemed to have had enough of her.
