tell me something: if i buy a Britney Spears song from the Apple Music Store, does it make me any less a feminist? i just couldn't help myself. it was so fucking catchy! it was in my head all day! i had to give up $0.99 to free the demons in my head! ...and in my hips!
the cats think i'm nuts. absolutely nuts. but at least i'm not the one spellbound by the milkcap i found on the counter this morning.

Agreed, but in Britney's defense, people have been saying she's having her 15 minutes of fame for like 4 years now.

I meant no disrespect to Pink. She rocks! I was just saying all that stuff to solidify how absolutely horrible Britney is. And no f'ng WAY she's the "next Madonna". There will never be another Madonna, just as there will never be another Beatles or another Michael Jordan or Marilyn Monroe or Frank Sinatra. You can't recreate the magic that surrounds those icons. Icons aren't created by teams of men pushing them onto select groups (ie. Britney's handlers pushing her on the gay community b/c "Gays like Madonna and Cher."). Icons are grow into icon status organically. You can't predict who who will be remembered for generations. That shit just happens. Britney just doesn't have that staying power. She's a flash in the pan--a couple of steps above Tiffany.

Hey, I love Pink's voice. Beyonce... nobody should have that much talent AND good looks. It's just not fair.

Because Britney's got jungle fever. That makes her even more of a naughty little Southern girl. "I'm so sexually charged I ride fast motorcycles with big black men. See how BAD I am?" I'm interested in the whole Pink/Beyonce/Britney/Enrique Pepsi ad. At least Pink writes some of her own stuff. And Beyonce actually has a good voice. And Enrique...hmmm... has a famous Dad whose name he's coasting on. Britney's got nothing.

i suppose that if the songs weren't catchy, that her plethora of songwriters wouldn't get paid, either. p.s. Tyson Beckford is still sexy; why is he in that video? ;)

It makes you an ironic feminist--you "get the joke", see? You know she sucks. You know she's not Jennifer Garner and never could be. You know she's a talentless hack. You know the fact that she's writhing around in a white room wearing nothing but sparkles is disgusting. But that doesn't make the song any less addictive. At least you're not going out and buying the album. I hated the 1st single and the fact that Madonna did it. Hell, I was AT the SNL Britney lip-synched her ass through in October. She sucks. But damn are the songs catchy! Damn you Britney Spears!
