Um, have you HEARD her singing?
singerguy04 wrote:I'd rather have her lip-sinc and dance how she does than try to sing in those conditions. I think it's obvious that it's actually her in her recordings, so what's the big deal if she lip-sincs while dancing and hard as she does.
Um, does rythymically dry humping count as dancing?
singerguy04 wrote:Nsync never sang at the same time as dancing. The member who was singing would stop and move forward while the others were dancing, and if they are singing and dancing at the same time then the dancing isn't really anything that spectacular and their vocals suffer a little because of that even. Here's some examples...

This is why NSYNC broke up and the only member still around is the one who has some talent. Even if the lyrics usually suck in his songs, Justin has good vocal range. Plus, from what I've seen so far, he's a pretty good actor too.
singerguy04 wrote:Another thing, stop pretending as if she's famous for her singing only. She's famous for the whole package (her image, dance, and music).
Hence why she WON'T be having a comeback anytime soon. Image - Worn out. Dancing - Whorish. Singing - Nonexistant.
singerguy04 wrote:As far as her making a come-back, i wouldn't call it that until the album she's working on makes it to the top 10.
Don't count on it.
singerguy04 wrote:this small kind of performance thing isn't a come-back. Whitney Houston still does things like that but it doesn't mean that Whitney will be back any time soon.
No matter how muddled her personal life was, and she has got miles on Britney in that category, Whitney is a genuine talent. She is a brilliant singer and the role model for many of today's popular female singers. Britney's just a woman who used to be hot and was popular because she was the only one doing the whole 'Sex, shock and awe' routine. Now it's just old.

I admit, I was a HUGE Britney Spears fan for a while. I'm talking from 1999-2005. I had seen her "live" twice and I couldn't get enough of her. But here's the deal, looking back on it all, you can tell that the whole Britney phenomenon that swept most pre-teens and teens during that time wasn't really created by Britney, but a clevar team controlling every little move.

As soon as "...Baby One More Time" hit the radio waves, Jive Records knew they had to do something to get people to notice Britney, and not just her one really good song. So what do they do? Put the 16 year old in a skimpy catholic school girl outfit, arguably one of the most popular role playing fantisies. So now that Britney is being seen as a sex symbol, why not make her boobs "grow" in time for her next music video where they can pretend to cover them up, even though you can practially see the nipples behind the shirt (I'm talking about the "Sometimes" music video and Kid's Choice Awards performance). From there on, it's been media fiasco after media fiasco that for the longest time just added to her popularity (her Rolling Stones cover being banned, dabbling in Kabhala, swearing at her concert in Mexico, etc ...). It really seems like she is famous for being her rather than her music. I have a really hard time listening to her music now and enjoying it. Years of smoking have made her mediocre voice deteriorate to a point where she has hardly any range left. That and the fact that she kind of sings like a frog, I really think the world has moved on from Britney. Her last album (not including the remix one, which I didn't get) was really bad. It had two good songs on it in my opinion.

Britney: Apologies(!)

Post by Aladdin from Agrabah »

From britneyspears.com:
"I apologize to the pap for a stunt that was done 4 months ago regarding an umbrella. I was preaparing my character for a role in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally. I take all my roles very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part."

So wait...she's talking about the incident involving the umbrella and paparazzi? Practicing for a movie role? Hello Britney, thats what acting coaches are for! Not the innocent Paparazzi! I'm joking....they can be annoying too, but c'mon now...

I usually don't like to bash celebritys for their odd ways, but I think that's just a sorry excuse for doing something wrong. Why not just come out and say "I'm sorry, I just got frustrated with the Paparazzi and took my anger out on them..." but for a Movie Role? Peeshaw!

Yeah sure Britney. That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard, blaming her anger towards the paparazzi on practising for a movie role that she conveiently didn't get. Hmmm, maybe you should just try to focus on your music career now Britney instead of publicity stunts. I love ya, but come on, it's time to get serious.

First official signs of Britney Spears' comeback

Post by James »

Guys, it's looking good for Britney's comeback, with her filming the first video to her first single recently. Here's a video with a look at her filming on the street. The rest of it is apparently filmed in a warehouse. It is widely thought to be titled Get Back, though on Entertainment Tonight was said to be named Gimme More. In any case, here's the clip- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AKKwNeKM10&NR=1 and here's a video with all the photos from it, published in a magazine recently- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ViHik1h ... ed&search=.
This single should be released around September or October, with the clip being released around August, or so. The album from which it's on, her fifth studio album, is in it's final production stages and should be released in November, just in time for Xmas. Enjoy!

Who cares anymore? Seriously...

Can't you see the constant Yo-Yo action going on here? Only, who's being taken for the real ride here- her or us? She had her "chance," she couldn't handle it. She couldn't act responsibly. She's nothing but trash. Now all she's gonna be is trash with make-up and million-dollar wardrobes. You can do anything you want to try and change the appearence of that human mess, the soul and the brain are still polluted.

I am so f***ing sick of her, I can't even describe it with words. And I'm starting to really think less of people who would still count themselves as fans of hers. Who gives a damn if she "comes back"??! What kind of message is that sending to people? Yet another ridiculous example of : "Money can make anyone beautiful." This is just plain sick!!

Because, seriously, who actually cares? You? A bunch of little girls? Housewives in the suburbs? All the Trailer Parks in the South-Eastern United States? Just because people want to be her when she's glamorous, you're willing to ignore the horrible influence she's been on popular culture?? I guess the joke's on me- I didn't know a decayed, stale, shriveled up former "pop tart" was in such high demand... This interest people have in her is beyond morbid.

The "princess" act is over. All she is is rich white trash. That deserves a second chance? That machine is worthy of being fed more of our money, time, and attention? Like hell it is! All this will be doing is making a lot of thoughtless, careless, worthless rich people a whole lot richer. People who don't give a damn about the sites of their endless digging. And now, they're just barely trying to squeeze the remains out of a filthy, miserable corpse of a former human being.

I'm a fan of her music, and I'm excited for her next CD, as long as the music is good. I "care" about her in a way, since I "grew up" with her, and I wish she hadn't gone through all that crazy stuff, but, in the end, as long as I like the music, I'll buy it and support her career.

I agree with Lazario on this one. She is a complete and utter mess! She doesn't deserve a fifth, sixth, or seventh chance.

Even if she somehow miraculously gets back to the Britney of yesteryear, we all know what she really is like now, there is no mystery to her. She is no longer intriguing. We have all seen her bald head, her vagina, nearly dropping her child, driving with her child on her lap, the nonstop clubbing, changing clothes so the paparazzi will take pictures of her on the same night but in different clothes, the supposedly tragic photoshoot with OK! magazine that is coming up, the list goes on and on. Let's also not forget that she can't sing.

It has been obvious for a while now that she doesn't care about her fans because she wouldn't act like this if she did. It makes me kinda sad that she still has any fans left that wait for her to come back. To say that it's looking good for her comeback is a huge mistake. If anything, things are looking horribly, HORRIBLY bad for her comeback. Oh, and I hope Kevin gets the kids, the lesser of two evils you know.

Anyone who gets this CD for Christmas has an enemy somewhere in the world.

I've merged several Britney Spears news topics into this new thread, entitled "Britney Spears (News) Flashes". As with our "The is the Lohan Report: Boobs and News" thread, various news items about Britney, her career, and her downward-spiraling personal life can be posted here. (I've left threads with major news or discussion of her albums or TV show separate).

Thanks again Aaron. Much appreciated. :) For the record though Laz, I do care, and I didn't even read your post. That's how much I care about your opinions.

James, you're in love with a woman who can't love you back. The only thing she'll let you lick is the grease, germs, and blood off the cash you're hoping she rakes in. Do you think this "comeback" will actually be good for her? Or - do you not care? As I sincerely suspect you don't.

I'm not in love with her. Who said I was in love with her? I'm gay remember?! I'm merely a fan of hers. I do think that she needs a bit more help with her mental and emotional status, but I'm still going to remain a vigilant supporter of her music. And I still can't wait for her video clip to be released, and for her album to hit no. 1 so you can all see her comeback. But she does look ugly in the photos I've seen of the clip.

Did anyone read the OK! Magazine article about the disasterous interview and photoshoot with her? The pages have been uploaded online:

And this is the girl who supposedly needs a comeback? Anyone who would be willing to defend her now, is clearly, legitimately insane.
