I Feel A Britney Spears Comeback Comin’ On
The second comeback, not the one before.
I hate to say it, but I am a Britney Spears rubbernecker. I can’t help myself. Forget Christina. Forget P!nk. Nevermind Madonna even. Miss Britney’s popcandy is what keeps my legs moving at the gym and consequently I have developed an affection for her music and yes, for her too.
Now y’all may be laughing at me, but hear me out. Seriously. Britney Spears totally took one for the team. The mom team. Who hasn’t looked at their sweet child and then had thoughts of running off, doing drugs and shaving their head? Who hasn’t fallen for the wrong guy and then paid the consequences for it? You can’t tell me that you’ve NEVER worn an outfit that was completely unflattering (if you contest this one, you must not have lived during the 80′s).
I just think that it’s easy to judge. I know that I have been this close saying damnitall and instead of going grocery shopping, I have fantasized about going on a bourbon binge and having gratuitous sex with young bartender(s) who smoke cigarettes and have tattoos on their arms … in Brazil. The only thing different is that Britney just acts out all those impulses (and that she is an international pop starlet who could roll in money all day if she wanted to).
There was a time in my life when I was single and drinking up a huge storm every time Paige went to her father’s house. I felt as though that during this respite I could have some semblance of a “normal” 20-something life for a day or two a week. Except it wasn’t normal to drink that much. In fact, my friends had to have a firm but gentle intervention that basically went something along the lines of, “Baby, that ain’t flattering.”
Nowadays I’ve shifted to the otherside of the paradigm. I don’t think I drink enough. Correction, I am not carefree enough (carefree has traditionally been massaged out of me with a little bourbon neat). As you all know I am working on those changes but feel the need to take massive action. I think I need to launch a comeback.
Bring it on 2009.

Amazing thoughts!
Jenn(ifer)´s last blog post..have to vs want to
Britney is going thru a lot, like most of us? Probably more… Ah, the life of a start… But we, common folks, are supposed to be well behaved. How old is she anyway, 20+ something? We’re a bit older now
so… we had our chance to be, and we were, carefree like Britney. Now it’s time to move on?

I realize now that I too am a Britney rubbernecker. She’s such a disaster, but I have always loved her music. It was only once that I think I second-guessed that love — 2007 VMA performance — but I hope she has a freakin ridiculous comeback soon.

personally I think she’s sorta nudeish.the words of most of her songs are sexually just plain werid.But all that I realy don’t listin to anymore.But I must admit britney’s new single ”kill the lights” totally a awesome song it gives a very real life message.it spoke to me.I had this guy that is now my ex-boyfriend and he seemed to me like he wasn’t able to get over me cause he was all over me like some animal and he even said that he was never intersted in me when in the first place he said he thought of me as a girlfriend and know what else I bet if britney saw my music video on that same song(kill the light) she’d be impressed cause I’m makingmy own music video this summer on her song(kill the light).I say brit did a very awesome job on her single for kill the lights. YOU ROCK BRIT!
