Inspired by Tinashe’s interview with The Guardian and her thoughts on her stalled carer, we discuss the factors we think lead to the making of iconic pop stars; and discuss some of the pop stars that may or may not have started their descent.

Our list includes Rihanna and also Taylor Swift. It has the range! But some of the gorls do not :(

Hot Topics:

* Latest season of House of Cards is dictating reality: Terror attacks in London, former FBI Director Comey's hearings, Otto Warmbier's tragic return from North Korea, etc.

*The officer who killed Philando Castile was acquitted.

* Prodigy of Mobb Deep passes unexpectedly due to complications with Sickle Cell.

* Shan is beside herself that Jay-Z is being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame because he deserves.

* Cosby trial didn't have the range.

* Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot, and especially Robin Wright DO have the range.
