Shortlist for Pop Gem #88: Pop Chameleons
We all make resolutions at New Year, don't we? Whether it's to finally get that adventurous hairdo or tone up a bit so you can start wearing muscle tops, we love to change things up. But popstars don't wait for the chimes of midnight on 31 December to change their look, oh no! It's their job to do it any day of the week, whenever they can!
Every week we ask you to nominate songs to go into our Pop Gem Hall of Fame – those overlooked classics or big hits of yesteryear that deserve some modern-day attention. This week our theme was New Year, New You. We were looking for your Pop Chameleons, popstars famous for changing their look or their sound.
You nominated some absolute belters, but we've only got 10 slots available in our shortlist. And these 10 made the grade:
