On Selena: wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Robbie Williams: Definitely better solo. Take That never registered here in the 90s outside of "Back For Good".

Geri Halliwell: Band by a very long way.

For Gwen, her stuff with No Doubt was the best. Her bubblegum electro-pop sound was only good for one album. As for Robbie, he was better solo. I don't know why he came back to Take That since they've been together without him for a long time already, but I guess for the fans it's great to have a complete group.

Selena Gomez, hmmmm...it doesn't even feel like she's in a band. The spotlight is always with her, I guess she's better in a band since their music is good pop music. Her solo stuff would probably be sex kitten pop/R&B just to distance herself away from the band.

Well, I couldn't really notice the difference between both act, but if we could refer her Disney tracks as a solo artist and her latest hits as a band, then I'd prefer her in a band. 8-)

Don't really know her as a soloist but I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different from her band stuff. Still, I'd say in a band.

You're going through artists rather quickly!

Meh, no difference with Selena surely.

Agreed with all of this, but I guess I'm voting "Selena Gomez and the Scene" by default.

Didn't make a tally this time, but it seems the majority have gone for Selena in a band. So let's move on to the next one:

Do you prefer Victoria as a solo artist or in the Spice Girls.

Have a feeling where this will go. Some have said I've gone through artists too quickly, how long do you think I should keep each artist on for?

If you also have any suggestions on who I can do on the next round feel free to submit them too. :)

Her solo album was great, but I loved her more as part of the Spice Girls. She would not have lasted as a solo act as well (if she pursued releasing more solo albums).

Band.

How bout next: Fergie and will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas; Joe Jonas from Jonas Brothers (Fastlife is AMAZING, but I never liked JBros); Brandon Flowers from The Killers; Tulisa from N-Dubz; Beyoncé, Kelly R and Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child; Nicole Scherzinger from Pussycat Dolls?

Her solo career was pretty laughable. Band.

Band, but pretty talentless either way. The Kim Kardashian of the music biz.

I liked her solo material, but I also love the Spice Girls' work too.

Solo.

People b*tch but I doubt they heard most her solo tracks. I prefer her solo because when she was in the Spice Girls, she gone unnoticed and overshadowed.

Victoria might not be the best vocalist on earth but her CD is full of amazing pop tunes. So catchy and infectious. Her follow-up unreleased album is even better, everyone should take a listen @ "Open Your Eyes" or great ballads as this unreleased gem.
