9. Beyoncé Knowles (and Shakira)
Not only is she at times devastatingly beautiful, I also think she's one of the best performers in the world of pop right now. She's a very talented dancer, has a lovely voice, and comes across as a kind, well-balanced person in interviews. To me, she's also proof that it is possible to deal with publicity, and that the extent to which the papparazzi harrass one does depend on one's own behaviour at least a little bit.
Here's a link to her video "Single Ladies": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g
I'm also a big fan of Shakira, and the video of "Beautiful Liar" nearly killed me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aLFmVwbxro
I'm always delighted by how unique Shakira and Beyoncé's dance styles are. Some of Beyoncé's moves really shouldn't work, and Shakira does some downright bizarre stuff in her earlier videos, but it's lovely to see not every pop musician gets groomed into a carbon copy.
Here, have some Shakira being delighfully odd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z723RavRpw
