Among men polled, 19 percent said Jessica Simpson has the sexiest eyes among pop music superstars. Simpson squeezed ahead of the pack, which included Mariah Carey (16 percent), Gwen Stefani (16 percent) and Kelly Clarkson (8 percent).

Women voters were all eyes for Usher, ranking him number one with 18 percent of the vote. Following close behind are Nick Lachey (12 percent), Rob Thomas (10 percent) and Chris Martin (5 percent).(*)

"If eyes are the key to the soul, it's no wonder why America chose Jessica Simpson and Usher," says Jennifer Hamberger, marketing manager, Mentholatum. "Both artists pour their hearts into their work and it's paying off. With multi-platinum records, budding film careers and clothing lines in the works, everything they touch seems to turn to gold."
