Which pop singer is the better actress?

Definitely Mandy Moore

Madonna. No one had a career like hers.

Cher doesn’t even come close in terms of success, she had more flop albums than hit albums.

Madonna dominated pop music for about 20 years. I don’t think anyone has been able to accomplish that.

She had a song every year on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1983-2003. That’s impressive.

Miss Jackson was excellent on Good Times and Fame.

I can't believe you even put Madonna on this list.

Madonna can't act. Never could, never will.

R2 Sweetie, the thread is about which pop singer is the better ACTRESS, not which pop singer has had the most success as a pop singer.

Gladys Knight

Kylie on "Neighbor's"

I never would have thought Mandy Moore would mature into an actress, I can only imagine it grew out of great pain in her abusive relationship and having to pretend everything was alright and to keep her partner from abusing her further and not setting him off.

Rihanna was good in Oceans 8.

I mean. Weird list for sure.

I think of Mandy Moore as an actor, not a pop star.

Cher and Diana Ross should be on this list. Alanis Morrissette? Britney Spears? Why?

R11, you seem to completely misunderstand OP's question. These are pop stars who haven't transitioned into respected actresses. Cher has an Oscar. Diana has a nomination.

Poor, deluded HAGdonna stan at R2. This thread is about acting, and as far as acting goes, Madonna is the worst.

Janet

Leslie Gore in "Batman" should have been nominated for an Emmy

Oh, dear!

[/bold]The one who's going to die Tuesday night on NBC.

I think Tina could have been a great actress, had she cared to be. She has astonishing presence and a wonderful voice. She would have only been able to play very elevated characters though. She's very grand, but I mean that in the best possible way.

R18 Tina was a fucking idiot when it came to choosing movie roles.

She turned down the part of Shug Avery in The Color Purple to play Aunty Entity in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

R19, I agree, but again choosing Thunderdome demonstrates she didn't really want to work at acting which Shug would have required. Thunderdome was hardly a stretch for her.

Tina turned down the chance to play Celie, not Shug in The Color Purple.

R21 No, she turned down Shug.

R22, Tina told Larry King she turned down Celie.

R23 Ike must have really knocked Tina around. She couldn't keep her stories straight.

Whitney Houston

Olivia Newton-John

I didn’t know fucking Alanis Morisette acted.

Janet is shit on film

Debbie Harry

Reba McIntyre is a survivor, Dolly Parton is a natural...well what's wrong with including country singers? Sheena Easton shined on Miami Vice, Laura Branigan was outstanding on The A-Team, Surprisingly, Stacy Q was the best of them all with performances on Mama's Family and The Facts of Life.

R27 Didn’t she play God in a Kevin Smith movie?

As rancid as Mariah was in Glitter, she was robbed of a best supporting actress nomination nod for 'Precocious, based on the novel Push by Saphire'.

Annette Funicello should be listed along with Doris Day and Streisand.

Lizzo

Vanity was actually a better actress than singer - Not saying much, but still...

R35 She actually was a pretty natural actress. She started out as an actress before Prince got his tiny hands on her. I think her first movie was Terror Train with DL favorite Jamie Lee Curtis.

She wasn’t all that r36. You are obviously the Vanity troll who used to have a thread here.

Vanity did a fun episode of Friday the 13th: The Series

Or was that Appolonia?

Apollonia

Whatsa mattah you? You left off Mariah!

"Better"?

Oh, dear.

Which former member of Vanity 6 are you, R37? Are you the fat blonde one?

Jennifer Lopez is a better actress than singer.

R43 And that ain't sayin' much.

Courtney Love

[quote]Or was that Appolonia?

It was Vanity who did F13th. She was in "Mesmer's Bauble." The show was produced in her native Canada.

Apollonia Kotero was on "Falcon Crest". Fucking no talent

Apollonia - the one with the huge donkey butt?

Apollonia has a great new YouTube podcast.

R2, Christ, Madonna queens are tedious.

Janelle Monae

Apollonia was brilliant on Falcon Crest

Apollonia's follow-up to "Purple Rain" was 10 fucking episodes of "Falcon Crest?" Who the FUCK was her agent?!
