Britney Spears – She went from the 2000s megastar to a patronized child whose fortune and life is managed by her father. Now, 13 years after her collapse, she is fighting back and taking legal action against the guardianship. Britney wants her life back. Our author has summarized here why she is still our role model.
You drive me crazy! Because it is incredibly successful
After all their antics, it is sometimes difficult to remember their actual success. Britney Spears is hailed as the most successful musician of the 2000s with more than 100 million records sold worldwide. She can boast countless music awards, various top 1 placements in the international charts, a star on the Walk of Fame (as the youngest artist) – and an account worth billions.
Toxic! Because it fell incredibly deep
The height of fall was considerable. As a pop princess, she not only suffered the usual loss of image and success. No, it really fell – right down to the bottom. The whole world watched as she first lost her husband, then her mind, then custody of her children, then her dignity and finally was even incapacitated. You waited almost every day for the news that she had committed suicide. Fortunately, it never came!
Stronger! Because Britney got up again
Drug excesses, public frenzy, complete nervous breakdown: How much strength does it take to pinch your ass cheeks so much together after such a shocking phase of life and step back as a musician in public? In any case, significantly more than simply surfing the wave of success for years. Respect!
Baby one more time! Because their music is great
Yes, almost a little embarrassing to admit that. But her voice and her hits are unmistakable for the 2000s – she shaped an entire generation with her music. The songs burn into the brain and they do something with my self-confidence: I always get the feeling that I have to move sexy to do it.
I am a slave for you! Because it’s really hot
Britney Spears isn’t naturally blessed with a Latina butt. There is an incredible amount of discipline behind every muscle. Her body clearly shows how badly this woman works on herself. With success, because she is really in top shape.
Lucky! Because it shows us how good the 30s are
Oh, how scared I was before my 30th birthday. Isn’t life over then? Britney is proof that the 20s are the much bigger challenge for many – and that you can enjoy the 30s all the more. Finally you have the extravagant antics behind you, more clarity about who you are and the family is suddenly the most important thing. OK then!
Like a Virgin! Because Britney kissed Madonna
Nobody forgets the performance in 2003, when the then pop star with schoolgirl image stuck her tongue into the mouth of the undisputed Queen of Pop. No, that wasn’t a scandal, not an embarrassing Nipplgate, that was really big cinema back then! Madonna as the dominatrix groom with her hot brides Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. And Missy Elliott – yo yo yo !!! The entire performance is considered to be one of the greatest moments in pop history.
Piece of me! Because she has had a solid job for years …
Okay, of course a permanent show like this in Las Vegas doesn’t seem particularly solid to us. For a world star like Britney Spears it is. She stands on stage every evening, has a secure income (which she certainly doesn’t need) and just does what she is particularly good at: performing!
Gimme More! Because it’s still there
Yes, I was laughed at when I wanted to get tickets for their concert a few years ago. It’s not just that I think a little 2000 trash concerts are really cool. I damn well owe her that. As a teen, I danced their choreos, adored them for their performances, and finally watched them decay a few years later – with both worry and amusement. Shame on me! But even today I still move my bum to her music and celebrate this woman! All the more because she shows once more strength and stands up for what is due to her: her money, her life, her body. No decision has yet been made in the Britney Spears guardianship process, but I keep my fingers crossed for her. #freebritney!
