Brittney's a really nice person. I hate tabloids; mainly cause they focus on her screw ups more than what's GOOD about her.

I hate her music, but as a person AND a performer, I really like her. My dad thinks she's a umm... "clown"... That's because he hears all the bad choices she makes, and I'll admit, she's made quite a few of them. That's not enough to make her a horrible person, plenty of people are like that and, we only hear about her because she's famous and crap :/

doesn't matter December 8th, 2008 2:44 PM

When she's constantly screwing up for a year, how can they not focus on that?

Metatron December 9th, 2008 9:26 AM

Well before anything, just let me start by saying that I've always hated pop music in general. with the exception of the backstreet boys...whatever happened to them?

I never liked her music, and I always hated the image of herself she was trying to portray. So, as a performer, I guess you could say I despise her. But as a person...I don't really know. I mean, you read all these tabloids about how she went all insane, ended up in drug rehab, etc. (I think I even read one where she claimed she was the anti-christ. Not sure how accurate that one was, though), but how many of the things we read are actually true, and not just made up for a good story? I can't help but to feel bad for her for all the media has put her through, even if she did most of it to herself =/

Lucy Lu December 9th, 2008 11:30 AM

I loved her music back in the day. I do admit though, she isn't the best singer in the world. She is one of the BEST dancers in the world though. XD So to me she is a wonderful performer. And she had her problems. I do blame most of the media for that. I wish they would have leave her alone. She had a tough time, and they just wanted the latest scoop of her going insane. That is so wrong. :/

But I am glad she is back on track and doing what she loves. I might get her latest CD. I went ahead and got her Greatest Hits. Awesome stuff there. Brings me back. :3

I'm just glad Britney Spears has decided to go and turn her life around, and she really deserves the support...turning her life around for the better...what can be more blessing for her...I'm glad she has finally opened her eyes...

HeidiMoose December 13th, 2008 1:34 AM

I haven't really paid much attention to Britney. Basically just started to ignore her during the whole head-shaving and rehab line of things.
Although I've never particularly liked her as a person and ESPECIALLY as a role model for today's youth, I am guilty of owning her first two albums, and have found something to like about most of her music... : /

But, as a role model, like most celebrities, I've completely hated her the past few years. And it doesn't help that her little sister star-wannabe Jamie, went and got pregnant at the age of 16, as a star on a Nickelodeon series.
But, as this isn't about Jamie..

I dunno..
Maybe I'll look some stuff up and see what Brit is up to.
Maybe my opinion will alter.


EDIT: Okay, change of wording.
It's not so much she who is the bad role model as much as what the media wants to portray of her

Just to get that out there.



Oh! And I almost forgot.
I am guilty of having once owned her "Curious" perfume product.
It smelled so smexy. :3

Her debut “…Baby One More Time” debuted at number 1 on Canadian and U.S. charts. In The U.S., it stayed there for six weeks. The single with the same name went number 1 world-wide, including the U.S. and U.K. Spears broke the record for the youngest artist, at age 17, to have his or her first single reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “…Baby One More Time”. Spears also broke the record for the youngest artist, at age 17, to have his or her first single and first album simultaneously reach #1 on the Billboard charts.

Her follow-up album, Oops!… I Did It Again, released on May 16, 2000, also debuted at #1 in the US and Canada, and was a similarly huge hit. It sold over 1.3 million units its first week in the US, making it the fastest-selling album by a female artist. The album has sold over 10 million copies in the US alone and over 18 million worldwide.

Her next album, Britney, was released in November 2001, and again debuted at #1 on both the US and Canadian charts, selling over 740,000 units its first week in the US. This made her the only female artist in SoundScan history to have her first three albums debut at #1.

Her fourth album, In the Zone, was released in November, 2003. It rose straight to the top of the US album charts in its debut week, making Spears the only female in music history to have her first four albums debut at #1.

She then released her first fragrance, “Curious”, in September. “Curious” is currently ranked the #1 fragrance in department stores. The fragrance had the biggest debut in sales in history from Elizabeth Arden.

Her 50+ awards she has one including the best, A Grammy, for “Toxic” as Best Dance Recording. She was also nominated for 6 other Grammy’s.

She is the best-selling female artist of the still-running decade and century and has sold a RIAA-certified 32 million albums in the US and 75 millions worldwide.

Blackout debuted at #2 on the US charts last year, with no promotion from Spears herself.

Circus debuted at #1 last week.

If it isn't obvious, I think she's nothing like she was back in the day, and since back in the day I was a child, she wasn't anything much back then either.

This talk of Britney Spears being the queen of pop is foolish.

You just pointed out to her breakdown one year ago, which has nothing to do with her pop career. Everyone goes through rough times in their lives, she's moved on, the world has moved on, and so should you.

Look at what Britney has accomplished in the past 10 years, before looking at tabloids filled with crap.


As much as I love Britney, she's still doesn't deserve the title of Queen just yet. Maybe in another 10 years. Right now, Madge is the Queen and Brit's the princess.

Thanks soooo much for this thread. Britney is the sweetest girl in the world... <3

Volkner's Apprentice December 13th, 2008 1:26 PM

I'm glad she's back in action; all the tabloids were really getting harsh on her, and I hope she's on track to pulling her life back together. I've never been on for her music (Toxic is really her only fun song IMO, idk), but I'm happy when the artists are happy.

She should have a talk with that little sister of hers. X_x Pregnant twice? What? And you're on Nickelodeon? Haha.

Thanks!

I thought I'd hate Mmm Papi from the sample I heard before the album came out, but it turned out to be really catchy and really fun to sing :D

Thomas December 14th, 2008 7:39 AM

The only song on the album that I'm not too crazy about is My Baby...

thats funny. I hate this song. Lace and Leather is cute though.

cherry_blossom December 14th, 2008 9:54 AM

I love Britney,she's my favourite singer,I just love pop.I'm not going to say that she's a great person because I don't know her,I've never read any of her interviews or anything like that.But I do love her songs and I'm really glad she's back on her feet.I have a feeling that she's going to stay.I look forward to her new songs.:)

No....I mean the only song I DONT LIKE is My Baby, and yeah Lace and Leather is awesome, but not my complete favorite on the album.

Lately, I have been listening to Shattered Glass, Mannequin, Phonography, and Amnesia. Also Quicksand and Trouble are probably next on my obsesson list. I got them after the CD was actually released cause one was like a iTunes Pre-Order Bonus Track and the other...I think was another iTunes bonus.

Haza December 16th, 2008 7:19 PM

Wow I had no Idea about those two songs but I just got them. They are really good. the only songs I hate are My baby and Out From Underneath.

Really? You don't like "Out from Under" (lol not Underneath) I really like it and I think it is the best ballad on the CD.

Haza December 16th, 2008 7:31 PM

No. I can relate to Blur to a degree and I love Unusual You though.

Angela December 16th, 2008 7:43 PM

I love her song that I have in my profile:D

I was slow to warm up to Unusual You. I love the song now, but I was kinda turned off to it at first because of the weird fluctuations in her voice when she sang the lyric Unusual You in the chorus.

Yeah, Womanizer is awesome, that is one song I would wish they would play on the radio MORE! xD

Star★Seeker December 16th, 2008 7:45 PM

I've never been a big fan but, I'm guilty of completely obssesing over Womanizer(she also looks darn smexy in the video) so much I actually know all the lyrics.I also like Toxic and Break The Ice. However, I disagree about the Queen Of Pop thing, Madonna is, and will be da queen 4 evah! She's the only 50 year old woman who looks sexy, and can dance while jumping rope, heck, my mom's 10 years younger and she'd die if she were ever to do that.
Anyways, you've all inspired me and I'm gonna make a Britney theme later.KTHNXBYE!

I don't know why people keep saying that Britney is being called the Queen of Pop. No one has ever really called her that, she has always been known as the "Princess of Pop" ever since she came on the scene like 10 years ago.

Star★Seeker December 16th, 2008 7:55 PM

She is very talented, but right now, with the many pop newcomers and Madonna still around, it's probable she'd still be the Princess of Pop for some more years. On the bright side, I doubt Katy Perry would ever reach their calliber, even though I love her!

Speaking of that video, it's been really controversial over whether she lip syncs the whole time during the song or sings along with it. I believe that she sings along with the actual recorded track. I don't have a problem with lip syncing at all to be honest. I mean, there's so much dancing and moving around on the stage it would be impossible to be singing the whole time without showing any signs of restraint of voice and all that.. horrible stuff that singers and performers get while performing their routine.

With that said, what does everyone think about that or about lip syncing in general with stars?

Katy Perry is a good singer, and her sound is great, but she needs to get over herself. She was complaining that she was only nominated for one Grammy! She should be happy for the one nomination she got, cause IMO she shouldn't have gotten any...now B.S. on the other hand should have gotten all of them. xD
