The addiction has begun… again.
For my first post here at GB.com, I ultimately wanted to discuss who Britney is as an artist of today, & her purpose in the world of pop. She has been around for more than a decade, sold millions of records, won countless awards, & is responsible for one of the biggest comebacks in pop history. The question is… what made, & still makes, the world be so fascinated with her, each & every day? The answer– she is simply interesting.
I type the word interesting lightly as, yes, she is interesting, but unlike other artists of today she does not have to try & be the focus; she is the focus. Anything the gal does gets reported; something as simple as walking down the street in boots hits the front pages of the tabloids. Britney has this mood about her, this attitude, this sexuality… it draws people in & makes them want to know more about her. Although this aspect is evident, she is still the same girl the whole world was introduced too back in 1998.
However, the issue I encounter often is that certain people, fans, even haters find it a struggle to seperate the person from the performer. We need to acknowledge that Britney is (in some ways) two different people. One, off-stage she is a loving mother for her two children, & two, on-stage she is one that creates music and entertains millions of fans. When people think of Britney alot associate the word ‘crazy’ with her, even when it comes to her music & I really dislike this. We all go through struggles, ups-and-downs. Britney got over these & yes, she may face more in the future, but she did defeat them, yet people still dwel on the past and continue to think the gal is unstable in life. I am not sure about you, but it bothers me that people still think of Britney in that light, because she really is FAR from that at this point in time.
Through her music Britney has proved that she is talented. I’m sorry, but a sale of 80 million records+ sold does not LIE. Anyone who concludes about the legend not being talented is clearly the one unstable as an artist does not stick around for over a decade for nothing or no reason. What makes Britney a legend is that her music is & always will be timeless. Slap Baby One More Time on & everyone can STILL dance to it! That track made her, and the songs that followed (Slave 4 U, Toxic, Gimme More, Womanizer… just to name a few) reflect her power as an artist. Throughout all her albums people can gain a sense of who Britney was at that point in time, hence a seperation between her personal and professional life clear. Wether you rejected Britney as a person or not, that does not mean you have to dismiss her work also, & that is what I would wish for people to understand a little more clearly.
