Gaga, Beyonce, Xtina and Katy stans are bizarrely insecure about Britney

[JevyDuty 2,961]

Anywho, Britney was my first. I LOVED her so much but then I grew up and starting noticing the how "plasticky" she was. Literally, the complete opposite of Cardi B (who's too much).

Like girl, Gimme more!

Or, when comparing the music/pop culture/omnipresent peaks of Britney and Gaga, pointing out that Britney had no less than 4 television concert specials among other barometers (She also had one called "There's no place like home in 2000 on Fox but I cannot find the advertisement)...

Many Gaga fans will retaliate that Lady Gaga writes her own songs, plays instruments and sings live had more Billboard Chart success during her peak.

I'm old enough to have watched Madonna rise ---> now and nobody is insecure about Britney Spears. 😂🤣 At her peak I wasn't a fan. She was the biggest thing but it never made sense to me because she wasn't really a singer but she was one of the best dancers the pop world has ever had. I remember more about her meltdowns than I do about her discography. I thinks it's a stretch to say that the obsession everyone had with watching her stumble for a huge chunck of her career doesn't equal relevancy. She went through hell and everyone should just be glad she's still around but she's never had enough varied talents that would allow her to peak again. Even her comeback was a bit of a blip.

Or when comparing Xtina and Britney by what the've said about one another

Xtina obviously spent around a decade publicly referring to Britney, far, far more than the converse. (Just two short clips for only around two years with Britney talking about Xtina)

But Xtina fans would be very troubled by this occurrence.  Why?

If anyone is insecure right now, it's Britney with her tired-ass dancing and lipsyncing. She's not what she used to be, talent and performance-wise. A true disappointment.

Well my post was inspired by that Katy Perry post about her alleged autonomy as a pop star a little while back and Perry, insecure about Britney, tried to use Britney as an example.

For instance, if one is trying to measure the peak of Britney's fame and underscore the fact that Beyonce opened for Britney as an example...

Beyonce stans would be very bothered by this.

Why?

There's nothing to be bothered about, it's actually a good thing that they worked together on this tour. Today is different, Bey is more successful. I don't know what you try to prove, Bey went to vegas seeing Britney, both loves each others 

opening a tour doesn't mean one is above the other, Little mix opened for Ariana, both are successful. Just like destiny's and Britney

If its about her peak .. nobody denied it, all those singer had their peaks, Bey was some years after britney there is nothing wrong, both have longevity, britney have her life now, shes more layback with her family and Bey is more on the spotlight

If anything this thread by you is starting to reek of insecurity, as a Britney stan, in regard to other artists...

Honestly don't know who would be that bothered by the two examples you have just given - but it's clear that you are thinking "This is evidence that Britney was more relevant and had a larger peak than any other artist - so they are pressed due to her iconic status cause they could neva!!!"

You're acting all casual like "Oh, whenever I just innocently throw around reciepts relating to Britney's success and other fanbases get pressed!" but you're clearly trying to pick a fight and get under people's skin  

Of course Beyonce stans are going to get upset if you are coming in seemingly trying to undermine the success of DC and Beyonce due to the the fact that DC once opened for Britney at her peak (when let's be real Beyonce has been a far more dominant cultural figure for a long time now)... You're being shady.

If you're  "comparing" the peaks of Britney and Gaga by mentioning television concert specials, that are not really a thing anymore, it makes sense for Gaga fans to mention her success on the charts as an example of the success she has had, which can be compared to Britney's achievements...

If you're engaging in some petty "Christina was asked more about Britney and was obsessed with Britney" kind of buffoonery, I'm sure you would annoy some Christina fans with the level of your pettiness. I mean honestly, who cares, that really is insanely petty to point out.

I've never seen any stans of other artists get insecure about Britney, but I suppose when you are acting like an insecure Britney stan picking fights - you attract insecure stans from other artists who are willing to engage with you on that level.

Uhm, that's the exact purpose of relevancy. You're relevant if the GP talks about your every move. And she also scored like four #1 singles from 2008-11, so what are you smoking?

That's like saying Gaga isn't relevant in 2019 when all the GP seems to be talking about is her affair with Bradley 

Okay, relevant for ARTISTIC purposes then. Added some extra info for you.

Shallow has been number one worldwide on iTunes for like a billion years. It's not just about the Bradley thing.

I don't really know what you think they're insecure about. Do you think that they're downplaying how much impact she's had or something? I love Britney but I'm very real about how much she's achieved and what her limits are. The fact is that apart from a few songs like Baby One More Time, Oops I Did It Again, Toxic and Everytime, the wider public really don't know most of her music. Her songs have insane impact...but only within the pop community. If this isn't for you or you've never followed current music in general, you won't know most of Britney's songs, now more than ever, seeing as she's done barely any promo work since 2006. To non-fans, she's considered well past her prime and stopped being relevant years ago. I do find it odd that it took her a whole decade to get her second US #1 and from there followed a short string of them but that was a different time in the industry and I think they were really gunning for her to get a comeback and this was before the days of streaming. You'll notice how low the views of those 3 #1's she had from 2008-2011 are because despite being #1's, they've been all but forgotten by the public at this point. Born This Way was competing with Hold It Against Me at the exact same time and if you look at the views and likes of those videos in comparison, you'd never believe that initially, Britney had more of both. She's frequently had an amazing start but burns out within a week or so. I don't remember her having a song that felt big since Womanizer. I don't even count that song with will.i.am as hers as she didn't write it, it was featured on Will's album and that's all about features, it was only uploaded to Will's channel, it barely sounds like Britney's voice on it anyway and Will essentially stole it off the original writers (it was originally going to be on Tulisa's album, one of the writers), so I've never viewed that as Britney's #1 when it went to the top. Britney used to be huge in the UK, but her last solo #1 was in 2004 and her last feature in 2012. She never even had a #1 album here (she's had an agonising 5 albums that peaked at #2). Even Blackout sold less than 300k and it was all downhill from there. Thing is, she's not tried to make herself an international artist for years and hasn't made herself relevant. Now that she's doing Vegas, she's settled, happy and sane but she's not about having hits and breaking records anymore.

I think what you might be interpreting as insecurity is when Britney fans make false claims, fans of other popstars are very quick to cut them down. That's not insecurity, that's just addressing facts. Plenty of Britney fans claim she's the most successful female singer of all time (Madonna and Mariah fans know that's not true as their faves have sold way more and it's easy to find that information) and still claim that she's mega relevant and is still making hits (Taylor and Ariana are about the only pop females who have had #1's in the past few years) or even that she's still a great vocalist (Adele and Beyonce fans are all about vocald and won't hear of lipsynchers being compared to them) or that she can still put on an amazing show (Pink and Gaga fans are insulted that lipsynching and stiffly dancing is put on the same level as acrobatic work, live instrumentation and live singing). As I said, Britney's still one of my favourites but I'm very realistic and to put her on the same level of great singers who are actually having #1's and doing international sell-out tours just doesn't add up and I'm quick to tell someone if they claim otherwise.
