IMHO, Samantha Fox was like the '80's version of  Broccoli Spears. Except that Fox had better songs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Samantha Fox a pornstar?

Sam Fox was a page 3 girl, with her very own porno mag publication. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think her boobs were real too. In terms of sexiness, I think she had it all over Britney, though neither can sing IMO. Sam was never made out to be a goody-goody either. This sickly sweet good little girl next door pop princess concept was more of a late 90s-00s thing, though I suppose Kylie qualified, in her early days.
Funny to think that in the 80s, a porn model can get a song to no.1, where as nower days, a contestant on American Idol, who could probably sing rings around Sam, is kicked off the show, becuase nude photos of her are discovered on the internet.

Sam Fox was hot.  She could be almost as old as my mom now, but wow she was hot.  :D

You couldn't really call Sam Fox a porn star, all she ever did was topless photo shoots for the Sun Newspaper and Sam Fox magazines linked to the paper, once again topless and in lingerie.

It did turn out though that she is a Lesbian, who the last I heard was living with her female Manager.

Really? She's a lesbian? I never would have guessed. Yeah, I knew that she did topless modeling, but I'm pretty sure she didn't do porn. Samantha Fox was pretty cool back then. Talentwise.......weeeeeeell.......she had some good songs. I don't think she was like Britney at all. Britney has contradicted herself since the beginnning. Fox was like, "yes, i'm a ho and here is my music". Better to be honest than fake. Plus, Fox wasn't a teenager when she was doing her thing. She was in her early 20s.

Some would say that Britney was another Debbie Gibson in her earlier years, and another Madonna in the following years.

I think Tiffany was the 80's version of Britney  :)

While I think that both of them dress like real sluts, at least Samantha Fox did have a little bit of vocal talent, whereas Britney couldn't sing her way out of a paper bag. :P

Yeah but at least you didn't have to suffer seeing uba-tart Samantha Foxes knockers every day in the newspapers,
right through the 80's..anyway she lives with an older lady now as a happy gay couple.

I think Tiffany was the 80's version of Britney  :)


Yeah, but Tiffany was only popular for a year, and Britney has been popular for several years, so they don't match quite that well.  But maybe sound-wise they would.

Samantha Fox also guest hosted MTV...way back before it sucked.

Sam's new hairdo and look only emphasize her beauty. Of course, she will always be known for her breasts, but the rest of her 5'1" frame is equally as impressive. Did she get implants? No, she was one of the last great big-busted natural models. At her peak she was a 36DD though she now is more of a 36B or C

What?  I didn't know it was remotely possible to compare Samantha Fox to Bitchny Spears.  We're comparing a kick ass porn star turn kick ass singer to a former Mouseteer.  Sad, majorly sad! :-[

Hey guys! This is my 1st post here and I'm so excited to be on this awesome board! I saw that a topic about Samantha Fox and Britney Spears was made and I KNEW I had to respond. I LOVE both Brit and Sam and I can see some similarities between the 2. Both of them were/are sex symbols , both of them made great pop songs, both of them have great style and stage prescence, both of them are blond (lol) and a few others. One MAJOR comparison between the 2 is that at certain times, Britney and Samantha's sex appeal overshadowed their music. I'm not exactly complaining though, because I love it when either one of them gets any kind of publicity and attention. Especially if it helps their record sales  lol!   I think its awesome that Samantha was able to make the crossover from a topless model to a musician. Mabe Sam and Britney don't have the best vocals, but they love what they do and it definaetly shows in their performances and you can hear it in their songs. Madonna (who I totally love as well) doesn't have the highest vocal range either, but she loves what she does and people are attracted to that. I hope Samantha can make a big comeback in the US. She's workin on a new album now and doing concerts overseas. Check out her official site for more info!  www.samfox.com :D

Samantha Fox (the singer) DID make adult films, contrary to what many people think. I have seen a couple of them and it is UNMISTAKABLY her face and british accent!

Not really. I would have to say, that Debbie Gibson was the pretty much, the Britney of the 80's.

Minus marrying a douchbag, exposing her crotch, qusestionable parenting skills, and shaving her head, of course.

Britney is the next Britney. I doubt any of those girls were as big as Britney even back then.

None of them were as slutty and wacko.

Haha, that's a given.

I don't think that Sam Fox was hyped anywhere near as much as Britney.  The way that single 'Hit Me Baby' was promoted was as if we were all going to be treated to some new amazing musical phenomenon....

Yea, right.  ::)

I don't think Sam ever took herself that seriously, although she was a naive young lady at times. 

Other than expose her breasts for the pleasures of thousands of males,  I don't recall her doing anything sensationally stupid as Britney other than complaining about how men never seemend to go out with her for her intellectual conversation.

Britney is just a product of overmarketing. Samantha did her thing, now does her thing, and doesn't need to keep shouting "NOTICE ME". She's content with life.  I can't think of too many entertainers today whom people will care about 20 years later, but it says something that people still remember Samantha Fox all these years later. ;)

Sam is a natural entertainer.  She has fun with it and she seems to appreciate her fans and doesn't have that annoying "I am the center of the universe" mentality.  As for complaining about how men never seek her out for intellectual conversation.  I think she has a right to complain about the fact that no one expects you to have looks and intelligence at the same time.  As for exposing her breast for the pleasure of men, I'm pretty sure her partner likes the way she looked (and still does). ;)

Is that her male or female one?  She's a born-again-something-or-other now, isn't she?  ;)

I know.  She's sexy!  ;)

i know this is super old, but im gonna reply anyways. samantha fox was a hot slut with a few hits but nowhere near as big as britney. say what you want about britney, but  she changed pop music more than ANYBODY since madonna! that is a fact! throughout the 2000's, every little pop star on the planet wanted to be here and every record wanted their own version of her-there was christina aguilera, jessica simpson, willa ford, mandy moore, brooke hogan ect. even some little country singer copied brit's legendary "baby one more time video"! and to the person that said sam was a natural enertainer, get outta here! if anyone can be called that, it's britney. name ONE THING that sam did that was as iconic as britney at the 2000 vmas when she came out wearing the black suit and fedora and ripped it off to reveal the nude-colored, jewel encrusted bodysuit and brought the house down with a performance that was nothing short of phenominal! that performance is ICONIC and has been copied since by both j-lo and heidi montag. also, the very next year she did the iconic "i'm a slave for you" performance with the snake. that is another absolutely iconic performance.britney has staying power. sam faded after a few years and was pretty much done by the 90's. she's still doing her thing but shes playing clubs , not arenas. britney on the other hand,  is the madonna of this era and is already an icon at 30 years old. people are fascinated by her. almost 14 year in the business and she's still selling out arenas and making # 1 hit songs, videos and records. even her so-called meltdown didn't affect her sales or popularity. everytime she has a new record, it goes straight to #1. love her or hate her, britney has proved that she has what it takes to keep people coming back for more.

Yes.  Yes she was  :-*


and she posed for Playboy. ;)

Yes.  Yes she was  :-*


Y'know, the original poster didn't exactly phrase it politely, but she had a point.  Other than 1986's Touch Me (and maybe Naughty Girls Need Love Too or I Wanna Have Some Fun), I can't say I remember any of her tracks.  Can't say I'm a fan of BS or Britney Spears, but Britney's pears sold a lot more albums than Ms. Fox did.

The Britney Spears of the 1980s was Madonna.

But this isn't about musicians who had long careers. This is about porn-stars-(who-became-jokes-about-Latin)-pop-stars, and no thread would be complete without a certain 2011 revival track from someone who got into music in 1995:

Neither Ms. Fox nor Ms. Lords had significant impact on the pop music of their (musical) day, but it doesn't mean it wasn't fun to listen to.  That's more than can be said for their colleagues who didn't manage to make the (extraordinarily-difficult) transition from adult entertainment into the mainstream.  You go, girls!

Not pop music, but Traci Lords' did have a minor impact in the rock world:  she sang the female chorus on the 1992 hit Little Baby Nothing by Manic Street Preachers.  My favourite song of the 90s ...

But Britney didnt pose for Playboy, Madonna did.
