Beyoncé has signed a partnership with Pepsi worth an estimated $500 million. The singer will appear in a new commercial for the brand and make other advertising appearances, while Pepsi will invest in her independent artistic ventures

Is Beyoncé Pepsi's greatest spokesperson ever? There have been plenty, right back to Joan Crawford, who was married to PepsiCo's CEO back in the 1950s and was also a Pepsi advertising executive and part of the company's board of directors.

Then there were two great musicians: Michael Jackson and Ray Charles. Michael signed up with Pepsi back in 1984, and Ray wrote a song for an advert that he also starred in. And as the '90s progressed, two legendary soul divas — Aretha Franklin and Michael's sister, Janet Jackson — also starred in commercials for the brand.

At the turn of the century, it was time for the superstar pop singers. Britney starred in a number of commercials throughout the '00s, including the famous "Gladiator" campaign, and Christina Aguilera signed on in 2005 despite having already worked for Coca-Cola.

    When are these corporate executives going to learn that 99% of us don't buy a product because some famous person is advertising it?

    Actually it was my dad, who took Pepsi to work with him every day. I mean a lot of Pepsi (quarts in four packs or larger) for someone who was a painting and roofing contractor in San Antonio. Working on top of a house under a Texas sun is truly a cat on a hot tin roof. Also a tea drinker and never alcohol of any kind, these were his only sources of hydration I have ever seen. How he never had diabetes, I'll never know!

    O come on. This should be a no contest. MJ wins hands down. Lot of other really good ones but not as good as Mikey. You cant beat the King Of Pop. And Pepsi definitely beats out Coke.

    Joan helped them stay relevant and get some market share, but I will NEVER support products that pay celebs 50 MILLION dollars to shill.

    Ne effing way.


    Coke all the way baby, unless they hire a celeb idiot and pay a fortune.

    I can live without soda.

    I select Joan Crawford, because I don't like either one. I don't like Joan Crawford, nor do I like Pepsi Cola, both are fakes. I like the Real Thing Coca-Cola, all of the other Cola's are cheap immitations of the real and original Cola, Coca-Cola. Quality always wins out, so I stick with Number One.

    I agree, Coke is better than Pepsi. Pepsi's too sweet for my tooth.

    MJ was for those (too brief) few minutes when his head was on fire.
