Hey guys...I'm doing a presentation for school where I talk about 30 influential performers under the age of 30. The reason I posted this on the offtopic board was because I would like a majority of the people to be from the hollywood/ pop/hiphop/ rap scene. So PLEASE name who you think are the most influential performers under 30! thanks!
ps: any ideas of bway people as well are also appreciated! Thanks SOOOO much!

Posted: 11/10/04 at 9:05pmWell, true, Britney Spears helped pave the way for other pop sensations...Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera...I didn't hear of those people until after her CD was released.

Posted: 11/10/04 at 9:07pmAh, okay. Because she's influenced a lot of things. Do you want performers who are currently under 30, or ones who had a lot of influence before they reached 30?

Posted: 11/10/04 at 9:56pmAs much as I hate to say it... Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton (who has decided to start singing and acting. uhg), & Hilary Duff. I don't care for any of them but most of my peers love them and idolize them.

Posted: 11/10/04 at 9:59pmWell, you're kind of implying modern people, but you might want to include prodigies like Mozart, who composed a crapload of music before he was 30.

I'm being very predictable, but if you're talking any performer in any genre who made a difference *by the time* they're 30, then the Beatles should be included, too

Posted: 11/11/04 at 9:45amIf we're going back in time, then Shirley Temple, Annette Funicello, and Patty Duke.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 1:24pmMs. McArdle certainly had a huge impact on ME before she was 30, but I daresay she didn't influence an entire generation of kids/teens. Hers was a small niche audience.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 1:29pmIf you are going back in time, you absolutely CANNOT leave out Orson Welles, made the best film ever made at age 26.

I had the pleasure of performing with Andrea McArdle in the early '90s and she's a joy to work with. got a set of lungs on her, that one does. And, at the time, she had recently done Starlight Express and her body was fierce - in better shape than just about any woman I've ever seen...hard as a rock. She's adorable.
I love her rendition of Look for the Silver Lining.
