I've openly criticized Britney Spears in the past, but I've come to love her and her music lately. It's funny, because I used to be OBSESSED with her when I was little, and then stopped liking her once she got a little more out there. But now I'm back to being a Britney fan...and I have no idea why!

This one isn't exactly recent, but the same goes for the movie <i>Rent</i>. I was forced to see it with a group of friends when it was first released, and I absolutely hated it! More than hated...LOATHED! I later decided to give it a second chance...and still hated it. But hey, third time's a charm, right? After my THIRD viewing of the film, I fell in love. And again, I have no idea why.
I also used to be a huge <i>High School Musical</i> hater, but that changed after the release of the second film. I can understand why people don't like it; It's got a cast filled with nothing but mediocre actors/singers, the writing is beyond cheesy, and it really is poorly produced. But despite it's flaws, I've come to realize that it's just a goofy film that makes people happy. I've grown to love both films and their soundtracks, and can't wait for the release of the third film in October.
Ashlee Simpson, but this one goes in the opposite direction. I still love the OLD Ashlee, and I still love all of her music. But she, as a person, has changed a lot lately. She seems totally phony in recent interviews, has basically turned her back on her fans, and keeps going on breaks! And of course she decides to take this stupid, little break right after she releases some of the best work she's ever done. I understand that she's preggo, and I sympathize...I really do. Why? Because her child's father is a trainwreck. But that still doesn't give her an excuse to turn her back on her fans. That's totally lame. But if the old Ash ever makes a comeback, I'll be here. Here's to hoping!
I'm sure I'll come up with more later.
Post some of yours!
