Oops, we did it again.
What is it about this woman? Going all the way back to when she first came out a decade ago, I’ve always wondered, what was the big deal about Britney Spears? I was never sold on her as a singer, and while she was certainly attractive in a conventional sense, I never saw her to be so awe-inspiringly beautiful that I was counting down the days to her 18th birthday like some pervs out there. Not that you can completely blame the pervs. Spears might as well have worn a tube top with “Jailbait” written in big letters on it in videos.
What’s even more baffling is that she’s actually managed to stay relevant. Even after repeatedly urinating, deficating, and vomiting all over her career, Britney Spears came out smelling like a rose this week, with news that her new album, Circus, is the number one album in the country, selling over 500,000 copies. Not to mention, dates from her upcoming tour are already selling out. I ask you all again, what is it about this woman?!? We’ve cast aside far more talented pop stars for less when it comes to “tabloid fodder” style behavior. People still haven’t forgiven Janet Jackson for Nipple-Gate(or maybe they just refuse to forgive her for hooking up with Jermaine Dupri, in which case, I can’t blame them)!
I’m just wondering what this means for the rest of pop music. Clearly this is a sign of the apocalypse, and it’s time for us all to repent. The next thing you know, New Kids On The Block are gonna wanna make a comeback. . .wait a sec. Aw crap!
