My history with her was sweet and love at first sight and sound overload to a teener I was then. I was in a state of shock when the Spice Girls broke up when I was in high school, my pop and all pop era was going down I thought, then luckily a blonde, teen bombshell broke out with a surprise hit "Baby...Hit Me One More Time" I personally was struggling with my heart bobos that time and her single "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" made me weep, so I salute her for striking a chord in that personal bobos moment in my teenage life, "Sometimes" made me smile and the sunsets worthwhile, and the runaway fave of mine in her first album, "Still Love You" I remember boy bands was slowly dwindling around those time, Britney even led N'Sync to MTV VMA's and her routine there was a fave cheerdance number at school.
Okay it was more of a sentimental attachment I had with her, and her next album, was bigger and I remember when "Oops...I Did It Again" premiered at MTV, I can get over myself, especially the corny Titanic inspired dialogue was even fun, though campy but really I was cheesy that time and it work big time! "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" saved the album for me, this particular song is my tribute to my pop ga-ga days...She is the queen of MTV VMA's as far as I was concerned, her very sexy and now classic number of "Satisfaction/Oops...I Did It Again" cemented her superstardom and my dream to pursue popstar career!
Her third "Britney!" which is her album that Justin Timberlake her boyfriend was in, never failed and TRL stints, I was glued to MTV 24/7 thanks to her! It was before pop's power couple, too hard to handle, too hot! "Slave 4 U" went away and catapulted her to a sex-kitten! Imagine performing at the VMA with an unreleased single yet she gave a fabulous number! "Overprotected" was of course her shout out that she's indeed a certified A-list celebrity with all the Pepsi endorsement and attention she has worldwide...Christina Aguilera was way behind her, she has all the Grammy's yet none of the showmanship and spectacularity of Britney, her attitude was genuine unlike Xtina who as you would describe her then, down right dirrty! Xtina showed more skin, but Britney get away with pop princess title and the heir to Madonna's throne!
Her sexual album to date, "In The Zone" which she collaborated a single with Madonna, "Me Against The Music" and her runaway hits like "Toxic" and other sexy single which I enjoyed. To all the DVD Concert, I enjoyed the most "Live in Las Vegas" and "The Onyx Hotel" was hot, hot hot! She's a terrific dancer, and yeah sometimes you know the lipsynching she does, but totally forgivable, her signature voice and her signature style of singing and ad libs..."hah hah hah...and yeah yeah yeah" sexy and sometimes now I'm older its kinda sound geeky but again the genuis behind those ad libs! Love her to bits!
Now, the controversial opening number of Madonna, Britney, Xtina and Missy, which of course after the "Like A Virgin" duet and "Hollywood" the kissing, and her tour kicking off, it was all surreal and very marketable!
Then K Fed came into the picture, my idol fell in love, blindly in love, fallen into a mediocre back up dancer, with a lovechild from an aspiring actress, well are Britney really was in love, and didn't mind it at all! Remember her Las Vegas very short marriage with her childhood sweetheart, she was itching to get hitched already, after all she is just a Southern native which the girl her age are engage or has a family already on their own. Then all the dramas, tabloid, cancelled tours, then all the shocking and classic breakdowns followed.
Furthermore, her divorce which led to the court battle for her children's custody, etc etc. Naked friendship with Paris Hilton, etc etc. It was too tiring but I was sympathetic towards her, I thought after she shaved her head, that was it she is gone. But as the world was giving her chance, her manager that stuck with her didn't let go, her family behind her, her children with her, everything fall into place, with a testy turn at rehabilation, she came back with a very commercially and critically acclaimed album, "Blackout" my fave album of hers to date! But her opening number at the VMA's last year "Gimme More" she looks very pretty shoulder up, she's brave even with flabs, and totally for me it didn't suck but it was not as par as her performances at the VMA's so she dwindle their big time. "Piece of Me" which was hit across the Atlantic and the Pacific which loves the single, mentioning, "the Philippines" there I thought It was such magic, like B is reaching out to me. "Break The Ice" is such a fab single, and makes me groove and all that Britney-choreography in me poured!
And finally now, she was given a standing ovation, winning 3 awards at at 25th Anniversary of the MTV Video Music Awards, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year! My girl is back! Still looking fierce! Still a million richer! Still in demand! Still important! With a new album coming out this year, who knows this girl will invade our household but with pure professionality and good personality to boot! Britney is next to Madonna for me! My generation's pop idol! She even is part of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour! I hope this divorcee, pop diva would go up and up and up. Love u B! You're part of my adolescent hood, I can't deny you of the special place in my ipod, idioms and idiosyncrasies. Mwah!
You dedicated your awards to your amazing fans, this is my thank you back to the amazing you.
