21 year old
Natalie Maines

Popularity:
The Dixie Chicks rose
from relative obscurity in
1998 to become one of
the most popular acts in
contemporary country

Controversy:
In March 2002 Natalie
Maines was criticized
after making negative
remarks about George
W. Bush Jr at a concert in
London England,
resulting in the loss of
airplay by some stations.
In 2006, the Dixie Chicks
released a new CD, "Not
Ready To Make Nice",
somewhat of a message
to their critics. That CD
won the Dixie Chicks five
Grammy Awards in
February of 2007.
