Britney Spears

Way back in the day in 1999, when I was just 10 years old and like all girls my age, obsessed with the Backstreet Boys and the whole boyband phenomenon, suddenly I caught a video on MTV that would signify the complete transformation of pop music. That video was '...Baby one more time' by Britney Spears. Say whatever you like about Britney Spears. She is obviously a woman of limited intelligence and singing ability. Her trashy tabloid persona and personal trainwreck life has completely overshadowed any scrap of talent she may have and she seems to be almost on a mission to destroy her career ... more

Im sure most people have had the name of singer Britney Spears pass their lips. The singer who has faced much controversy in her turbulent professional and personal life. The Early Years -------------------- She was born on 2nd December 1981 and is from the small American town of Louisiana. She had her first taste of fame at the age of 12 when she became a mousketeer for the famous Mickey Mouse Club alongside future boyfriend Justin Timberlake and rival singer Christina Aguilera. At the age of 17, Britney had attracted the attention of Jive records and brought out her first single "Baby One ... more

I just didn't understand a whole generation's obsession with Princess Diana. Not at all. However, it seems you can't help but identify with an omnipresent celebrity the same age as you and for this reason I feel compelled to write this review. Britney and I are the same age and a similar height. Apart from this, we have almost nothing in common. She is not the yardstick I judge myself by, nor someone I would aspire to be.

Britney Jean Spears has been in the news rather a lot lately, for the wrong reasons. Reports say her fiancée is leading her astray; she’s turning her back on hr fans and has just lost the plot. They neglect to mention that at the moment she’s in her prime, selling more records than ever before and the consistent quality of the tracks are outstanding. Britney is no stranger to showbiz; she was a child star. Always singing at village fairs, local TV shows. Her family who wasn’t too well off trekked all around America taking her to auditions in hoping of her getting the exposure ... more

As I was flicking through the television I realized that there was absolutely nothing on (what a surprise!) so I turned TMF on and watched two hours of mind numbing documentaries and interviews about Britney Spears, and to my surprise my opinion of her changed, I actually think she is a normal girl in her middle twenties, who is rebelling against the image the music business and the media have made for her. At the moment she is being a rebel, but she’ll soon get over it and mature as an artist and maybe even bring out a good song. Also I found out that I like her and her work, more now than ... more
