All Things Britney Spears Part 2

[IdahoMom]

Im not a girl, Im not yet a woman is a great song, sung by a beautiful woman, what the hell happened, Im not a Britany fan but that song really touched me. I hope Britany gets her act together and becomes the woman I think she wants to be.

Yeah, me too Shazza. That song's kind of poignant now, isn't it? The song Lucky is, too.

Britney looked gorgeous in those videos...you can tell she was much healthier then than now.

Something has happened to her. I think it's the drug abuse. I think it's torn down her mental and emotional well being.

"Lucky" lyrics:

"Lucky"

This is a story about a girl named Lucky…

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

"Best actress, and the winner is…Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky"
"Oh my god…here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?

Oh I agree Idaho, she was so beautiful. I remember seeing her on one of the first Today Show Concert Series Friday's they did, she was amazing. Britney could really dance and she had such charisma. NYPD had to come in and shut down blocks and blocks of NYC because the crowd to see her was so big (she may still hold the record on crowd size). Her family was with her there. Her future was soooo bright. The interview with her was good too. It hasn't even been 10 years. My sympathy stops though with what she is doing to her babies. That's just not excusable. If she's looking for love that never leaves or dies, it's right there in her arms. But, she's going to lose that too. She's been given this last opportunity to get it together, but I don't know if even now she is willing. She seems to still be choosing the party and drug life over everything else, including her children. From one Mother to another, that choice will never make sense to me. Her boy's are precious, beautiful babies, how can she do them this way?

Im not a brittany fan at all...but i have to jump in here...
From a mother who has gone down this lane brittany is going (alcohol, partying no drugs tho)i have to say I understand what she is going thru....she never had a childhood, I didnt either, so I basically did my life backwards and it looks like she is too. meaning, I was the mother figure to my younger brother and my dad when he got sick, my parents had divorced, i had a baby at 18, married at 18, baby at 23, divorced at 24, baby at 28 the whole time i was divorced all i thought about was it was time for some me time....i had given everything to everyone else i didnt have anything else left to give even to the kids, they were often left alone, when my oldest was old enough to babysit while i was working, or out drinking.....it took 10 years to get that out of my system, i think had i had the childhood i missed it would have turned out differently, brittany is the same way she hasnt had the childhood, shes been working...
i didnt see the damage i was doing then, i have one messed up kid, and yes i blame myself for it, I also have a tremdous amount of guilt, eventually britt will come out of it, if she loses the kids she will spiral down even faster, i know i would have but actually i wished someone would have stepped in and saved them from me. I would have hit rock bottom, then started climbing back up sooner
basically what im trying to say is she worked when she was young, got married young, never had a chance to be a real person, she had her babies, divorced for what she might have thought was greener pastures, and now she is catching up on what she should have done before the babies but couldnt.
walk in her shoes, you have know idea what she is going thru or what she has been thru, she will come out of it its just going to be when she is ready to....i had to change when I was ready to if not it wouldnt have worked or lasted.

Perfectly put!

CarpeDiem,

VERY well put.

You know, I've never paid much attention to 'all things Britney.' I used to ask our now 14 year old son, when he was younger, if he liked Britney Spears (she was really 'hot' back when he was 5, 6, 7 years old and up.) He told me NO. He didn't like her at all. (He's a big music buff, even then...).

I've never listened to Britney's music. Knew who she was, sure, but never paid much attention to her.

Until today. I watched the videos attached with my mouth hanging open. What a beautiful girl she was! Clearly, she has talent. And suddenly, I felt overwhelming sympathy for her.

Maybe what's happened to her is the simple fact that she lost her childhood...too much too soon. Perhaps she didn't have the proper guidance. But clearly, something has happened to her. Drugs and alcohol have played a part in her demise, obviously, but something is triggering her need for those substances.

Whatever's happened to this poor girl, I hope she smartens up and realizes that her two babies should be her priority now. They're here now and she needs to take care of them.

My own mother had had three babies by the time she was Britney's age, and one of those babies died. It almost killed my mother. I don't think Britney understands what she has in her own backyard. She's been truly blessed...with looks, talent and now, two beautiful boys to care for. But somewhere along the way, she's lost herself.

Now I understand why all the fuss surrounding this girl. I still can't get over how beautiful she was...and that voice! I come from a background of singers. She may not be the best, but she sure has a God given talent.

Unfortunately, we live in a culture which builds people up, but just as quickly, we seem to be so eager to take someone down...and relish in it as well. It breaks my heart, now, to see this girl as she is now. She's obviously not at her best and is going through a really hard time. It's difficult to imagine from another perspective, just what is causing her demise. Her demise could stem from an issue none of us even knows about.

Whatever the reason, I hope, for the sake of those boys in particular, that this girl sees the light and gets her act together. Children really are gifts -- she needs to put their needs before her own and hopefully, she will...and soon.

I've never thought Brits was beautiful- attractive at best, great body though.
A friend thinks she looks like an axelotal- something about the eyes lol

But she can really dance- sings ok too.

Well put, WildTRose!

Britney's been given and is still being given as much time as she needs to "come out of it . . when she is ready to", and that's fine as long as she's not putting other people's lives in danger. She is an adult now. But she shouldn't get to take her babies along on her journey to however much further is her rock bottom. They only get one chance.

If this doesn't get her to straighten up and fly right, nothing will.

I had heard at the end of last week that she was ordered to a Psych Evaluation on Friday, I guess that didn't go so well either.

Apparently, she has the children right now, how in the world can their safety be guaranteed over the next two days, under these circumstances?

WOW, I just saw the breaking news myself.

 

[philamena]

I normally would say good...but I highly doubt that Britney will grow up and leave her old ways behind. What cha wanna bet she goes out partying tonight? She's such a dip stick.

She needs some major help. One site I was reading says they fear she will be suicidal. I hope someone can get to her and help her before it's too late. She seems to have pushed everyone away from her. Very sad.

 

[deanws]

I feel sorry for the kids. K-Fool is a druggie himself. Those kids don't stand a chance. He only wants them for the money. CS hearing will soon follow. You can bet on that. The 20K he is already mooching off of Brit isn't enough. He has already said that.:razz: Those kids need to be in a foster home...not with either of these two.

 

[jubie]

OH. MY. GOSH! Those poor little boys.

I too believe she needs to be watched very closely over the next while. Sadly I bet she'll chalk this up to the judge over-reacting to the driving thing, she is in deeeeep denial.

[kelly london]

msnbc is reporting that britney has taken two drug tests and there is SPECULATION only that maybe she didn't pass. and you guys are probably right, she'll be out at the bar tonight.

Jubie...I love your fur babies!! They are beautiful!!
