Guest Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Half of the tracks on Glory are among her best tracks in her discography. Generally find Blackout to be a great album, but very overhyped. I actually think Circus is among her best albums, surpassing Blackout. Femme Fatale as well. While I hope she returns to her glory days when her performances were really good (the best dancing in the industry, period), I think she has a very weak stage presence since everything went down, and her lack of singing while dancing mediocrely is not something to be admired.

Wet Fire 7,079 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 - In the Zone is her best album. - Blackout is supremely overrated. Apart from the singles and a few deep cuts which are fantastic, the rest of the album sounds dated. - Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know is one of her absolute best songs and it is better than any song on her debut album.

Equating it to prying into her personal life when it is publicly available information in the probate court system is also totally contradictory, especially when Britney herself openly expressed in public court documents that she "appreciates and welcomes" the support and the research her fans were doing in her case On 3/20/2022 at 7:19 PM, Night Vision said: If it weren't for her fanbase, she would most likely still be stuck in that cycle of abuse Ultimately, it was not Britney’s fans’ research or the energy they invested into rummaging through her public records that got her out of the conservatorship, so as I see it, that was a pointless invasion of her privacy - even if she welcomed it. A lot of fans used that opportunity to massage their parasocial Britney boners. Of course she appreciated the support regardless, but the reality is that the awareness this “research” raised probably had very little, if anything, to do with the outcome of the case.

The Fame Monster 4,128 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Quicksand should have been a single with a music video featuring Miss Gaga. They would be making love while falling into quicksand. And the music video version would feature a special Gaga rap verse. The length of the chorus of Oops I Did It Again is a good indicator of how long you should wash your hands with soap and water. And that’s the only reason to still remember that this song exists. Jk, love that song. Britney is a legendary bitch who does not owe anyone anything. She deserves nothing but happiness for the rest of her life. No new music needed unless she really wants to do it. Telephone should have been a collab between Gaga, Beyoncé and Britney. Aka the OG Bang Bang. Find your freedom in the music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go through horrible things and still be wrong. For example, the way she called out Christina for not speaking on free Britney, like girl what?? Her fans have essentially weaponized her conservator situation and use it to combat any criticism of her. Couldn't have said it better myself .

Regina George 59,387 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Britney is probably the biggest pop icon right after MJ and Madonna. No one after her managed to reach the popularity Britney had in 2000s. She had the same impact on pop culture as Madonna and MJ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 On 3/20/2022 at 10:52 PM, streamstarcrossed said: The free britney movement was super hypocritical in the way that it demonized the media and paparazzi for invading her personal life while doing the exact same thing. Britney fans cling to the “she was forced to sing in a baby voice” excuse for dear life. It was still her voice, and it’s still unpleasant. I don’t understand the hype about her in general. Even at her peak she seemed like a super generic, cookie cutter pop star. Hate that she’s somehow immune from the criticism other singers face when they don’t sing live. Even before her conservatorship, she rarely sang live. I don’t like how the internet rally’s in support of everything she says solely because of her conservatorship situation. You can go through horrible things and still be wrong. For example, the way she called out Christina for not speaking on free Britney, like girl what?? Her fans have essentially weaponized her conservator situation and use it to combat any criticism of her. About the Xtina thing. She has been bullying Britney for 20 years basically constantly shading her, indirectly saying she’s a ***** and straight up lying about Britney and her previous relationships while Britney NEVER mentioned her in negative connotation first. So let’s not act as if she’s an angel here. Britney clearly saw through her fake ways. Also the fact that someone would stay silent when it’s publicly known that this woman even had microphones under her bed is horrific to say the least.

This woman literally couldn’t get a lawyer even when she asked them to get her one until this became public. She tried to fight the conservatorship many times but failed because public was not involved. Lmao what are you even talking about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The court had to approve her new attorney. Had it not, she could very well still be under conservatorship now. That was a decision of the court, not something a bunch of fans had any control over.

Again, the question remains, why would Britney expect someone who’s “bullied her for 20 years” to speak up on her behalf? I wouldn’t make assumptions about Christina’s character based on her lack of vocal support. If silence is indicative of a person’s flawed character, we should point fingers at gaga as well. She never acknowledge Britney until after she had gained her freedom - and she was, for some reason, praised for that as if she had parted the sky and came down from the heavens to personally end Britney’s conservatorship herself. Lastly, Christina was not even completely silent. She wished Britney well and had previously expressed her sympathy for her in a lengthy twitter thread. As far as we know, at that point, that was even more than gaga had done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
