Why would I do that? That may work for you, but for me- I'd look like a fool. Because she'll trash it like she does everything else. Or, more appropriately, her side / money-people / producers / managers, whatever/etc - will trash it. She's still too young to understand what's happening to her. It's because she got so famous when she was still a teenager. She has no common sense. Which means, attempting a comeback will only push her further into La-La land.
Don't take this the wrong way, though. This has nothing to do with you. I'm glad that even with me looking at the darker side, people like you look up. Without that balance, I'm sure the Earth would have collapsed on top of itself decades ago. But really... don't you think it's just a dream that she'll "get better" by giving her new hit singles? Doesn't that seem a little too easy? That all her problems will go away just because the public thinks financial success equals happiness and well-being?
I guess it would help if she: stopped clubbing altogether, dropped all her bad celebrity friends, never talked to K-Fed again, and gave her children away.

A lot of people grow up and make mistakes- if you're not a celebrity, then your mistakes aren't put out there for the world to know about. I'm not sure why Britney "snapped". I don't know what her home life was like, so I don't know how much of her "craziness" had to do with Kevin Federline. Sometimes things happen to you, and you just don't know what to do with yourself anymore. I've definitely been in that situation- I didn't shave my hair off, but I did other things to myself that I shouldn't have. I think that Britney is a good person inside, but that things just escalated out of control. If a single, non-parent gets depressed, they can try and focus on themselves more. If Britney was depressed (I don't know if she was or not), then she also still had to be a mother. It was probably too much for her to take. Granted, I don't agree with her clubbing with no panties on, or her giving her children soda in their bottles, but she was probably so overwhelmed. I wish she and her mother didn't have their falling out, since they seemed to have such a good relationship prior to this "mess". I want Britney to have a good support system. I know that she's close with her cousin, and hopefully she's still close with other family members and/or childhood friends, who only want what's best for her and her children.
I'm hoping that now, with the album coming out, she'll have more focus (she'll be focusing on her career). I don't know anything about a single parent touring with children (I know that Hanson tours with their kids, but they also have wives to help out with the kids), so if Britney tours (which I'm hoping she will), then I hope that she'll have that support system to help out with the kids.
All Britney needs is some help from people who really care. She gets scrutinized all the time, and that's just unfair. Instead of people bitching at her about her parenting skills, some group needs to step up and teach her these things. She said that she's "country"- so people need to teach her what's proper and unproper. There are cops in Los Angeles- if Britney rode on her daddy's knee as a child while her dad was driving, then maybe the Louisiana cops never discovered that, but she needs to be taught proper parenting skills. I'm not ready for kids yet, but I'm getting ready to possibly adopt a couple of dogs, and I've never had dogs before. I'll need to get advice about raising them. Just like a first-time parent should.

No argument there. Which is one of the reasons I'm against this "comeback." She hasn't recovered. She just wants to feel that the world loves her again. But it was always fake-love she was getting. Fame and fortune aren't love. They don't fill the holes. And she's obviously got some serious problems or she wouldn't have gone as far off the deep end as she did.blackcauldron85 wrote:If Britney was depressed (I don't know if she was or not), then she also still had to be a mother.

Well she certainly can't do much worse than the people who she's got now. Advising her to go back to work so soon after all the garbage she's been through? Just to make them more money?? She's had enough focus on her career. And it was obviously doing fine. She didn't even need to "come back." She screwed up her personal life, now she's just going back to what she knows.blackcauldron85 wrote:I want Britney to have a good support system.

Well, unfortunately that's the price one pays when they are a young celebrity. The thing that's actually unfair is that they waved dollars in front of her face and made her promises of fame and things that looked good, without letting her know how tough it would be. Hopefully, people will learn from her example.blackcauldron85 wrote:She gets scrutinized all the time, and that's just unfair.
Never gonna happen. This is America in the New Millennium. You mess up when kids are involved in the public eye, you're screwed. Like I said, the things that have been said / written about her in tabloids and shown about her on TV / the internet will follow her for as long as she lives. Especially with her going back into the spotlight, professionally. A really bad move for her. Great for the money people.blackcauldron85 wrote:Instead of people bitching at her about her parenting skills, some group needs to step up and teach her these things.

Besides, the girl is a total hick. She even said once in an interview that we should support the President in any decision he makes. It's not like her butt was ever on the line or that she would be in any way affected at all...
I'm sorry Laz, but I like Britney. Always have and always will.
But I have to agree with you, this comeback shouldn't be happening. And I'm pretty sure that - public rejection or acceptance - it's going to do her no good.
A rejection will be devestating for her and well, we've seen what happens with acceptance. People don't "mend" themselves magically, and I suspect Britney is far from "mended" - in fact, I doubt she ever will be. And I'm not going to critisise Britney's recent actions - God knows, I'm sure we've all done stupid stuff in our lives and our lives have been "normal". I can only imagine what it must be like being in the public eye every single second.
I suspect she is doing this for 1 or 2 reasons. She doesn't need the money and never will. Even if she's spent every single cent of her money until now, she'll still be getting money most of us could only dream of from continuing royalties.
So I think she's doing this because, sadly, its all she knows. Even if she thinks it will, I doubt achieving pop-star stardom again will do anything to make her life feel less empty. She'll only be going back to what caused her "breakdown" in the first place, which I can't see as being healthy at all.
More importantly, and this is what I suspect is more of the truth, she's in a contract and the record company is pressuring her on fulfilling it. After all, to them, no publicity is bad publicity and I bet they are anticipating the cash to come rolling in.

But seriously, I heard in 2005 or whatever that she was planning on retiring. I think Spin Magazine said it.
Here is a video of her rehersing for the VMA's. She looks really good!

I'm pretty disappointed. I like the song a lot, but she wasn't as "fierce" as she used to be. She seemed old or something- she wasn't dancing as "hard" as the other dancers. Of course she lip-synched. She seemed not as prepared as she should have been. But it was great to see her up on stage again.
Oh, and Sarah Silverman sucks. She's not funny. She's just making fun of Britney. A lot of people aren't laughing at her jokes. Wow, she's awful. Who chose her as a host?

What was she thinking wearing that? She NEEDS a stylist.
I can't believe the rehearsal was better than the performance.
I like the song. but damn. I am just flat out disappointed, this could have been a career rejuvenator and it seems to be a buzz killer. I am more disappointed in her choice of apparel more than anything else, it was like an elephant wearing a bikini, just wrong, and the colored contacts were popular for the span of a year in like 2002!!! My heart goes out to her because she is going to get it in the blogs and news headlines. It was like all the energy in the room was sucked out about halfway through. UGGH!!!
I AM PISSED for letting myself get worked up for this. I actually thought she'd come through.
Oh and somebody needs to tell Sarah Silverman that she is NOT funny at all. I could actually hear the crickets, is she high or something.

Watched the VMA thing and wow... and I don't mean a good wow. That was pretty painful to watch. This "comeback" isn't going to work at all. Comparing this to previous performances it looks like she just basically gave up. Add that with all the other stuff going on in her life, and I honestly don't see this new album doing that great at all.
I could be wrong and it could sell great, who knows...

Well, I was hearing all day that she had been out till 7am this morning and that she had to go right into rehearsal. She looked dead on stage. I don't think she was bored, i think she was very tired and maybe even hung over. I was very dissapointed by the performance, and as the camera flashed around to the other celebs in the audience you could tell that they were too.
I'm sure that she can really make a comeback. Let's face it, it's not that the performance wasn't REALLY bad, it just wasn't rememberable. It's good that sarah silverman came out after her because I think more attention is going to be given to how dumb she looked. Honestly, she stole the show lol.
