Britney's Slave
Many people would think that I am such a deep person to appreciate Britney Spears. But you see, there's more to Britney than just being a pop star.
People like me who are into dark ideas, deep thoughts and ideas of a better world do not sit at one corner playing "..Baby One More Time" and instead, switching from one rock song to another. Let me just tell you that I am not a person of conventions but for some reason, I grew up being attached to pop music. And Britney is one hell of a pop icon.
Here are some reasons why one must like Britney Spears:
1. Her hits. Sure, everyone is singing it, so what?? Britney's songs make one feel confident, mobile and even sexy. She works with producers that make her songs GREAT. Most of Brit's upbeats make you move, and I am a person of wanting to make a move. Never mind if she's not totally as good as the voices of Mariah, Celine Dion or Christina Aguilera, her songs make it up for her. Every single is a sure hit.
2. Britney is pretty. Notice I did not 'was pretty'. You've seen her at her finest (I think her video "I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman" put her into her best look ever, but there's more) and at her worst (That umbrella holding bold lady down the sidewalk? Yeah, that's our lady). She still looks great, she can care not about her looks for one moment and the next time you see her, she's back again. Celebrities are not perfect. They are just humans.
3. Performances. Have you seen her rock in Video Music Awards 2000? That skin-toned pants and bra? Or that snake on her on VMA 2001? I'm sure you haven't forgot about her lip lock with the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Oh, have seen her hanging with acrobats in the Circus Tour? How about inside a golden cage? How about her controversial Onyx Hotel Tour when the performance stimulated masturbation? Or those dance moves... Those DANCE MOVES...
NOTE: I love Onyx Hotel Tour than Circus Tour but they are both great. Of course, we can't disregard Dream Within A Dream Tour when the stage had an artificial rain for the encore.
4. Her voice. She's not really that GREAT as in Mariah or Witney great in singing, but hey, her voice is very experimental. You listen to her first two albums hearing her as a simple pop singer, then comes the breathy-voice for the third and fourth album. In "Do Somethin'", she had a little play with her voice, which she rarely did in her songs. Then, Blackout emphasized her sexually-empowered voice with a little robotic touch with her high-pitched voice in "Radar". Then, she did more experiments with Circus. Can't wait for what's new in her upcoming album temporarily entitled "B-Girl".
5. She's a trend setter. We all know she was followed by most solo female acts after she emerged with Baby One More Time. You know those low rise jeans we die of wearing to feel sexy? She started those. Even her songs inspired other songs, for example, the "Revolver" song of Madonna as a twin of "Radar".
6. She's a commercialized product. I always think she's a robot designed by the people around her. She's prepped up and pushed onstage and she does how she is instructed to do, and this is actually what she likes. She is who she is in front of you, with the help of people who put armors on her to do the battle onstage.
7. One thing I love the most about her: her choreography. Words are not enough to describe her complicated and well-thought choreo. But nowadays, she rarely moves as how she was at her peak and that's at the time she was doing her Onyx Hotel Tour. The last time we saw her dance at her best is the leaked video of her dance rehearsal for the song "Mannequin". How we all wish she hooks up with her past choreographers, especially Wade Robson (He's responsible for those popular steps in "I'm A Slave 4 U" and he produced her "Dream Within A Dream Tour").
I love Britney. She's pretty to look at, though she gets a little chubby at times but hey, she's hot. When you hear her songs, you feel there's something beautiful in your ears, and then it runs through your veins and make your body move and the next thing you know, you're out of words. You stop typing, and then you groove.
