Extreme talent is one thing, but what sets these artists apart—and earns them an army of admirers—is unbridled charisma. We're more than ready to surrender as they lure us in with seductive dance pop hooks (Gaga's "Do What U Want"), smoky electro-R&B (Beyoncé's "Xo") and bold statement pieces that mine heartbreak (Miley's "Wrecking Ball") and remind us of our own limitless potential (Rihanna's "Diamonds").
