My thoughts on Britney.
Love her or hate her, the girl is a genius at keeping her name in the news. Britney Spears definitely proves the theory that bad publicity is still good publicity. And unless you've been living in a cave, you know that her new "comeback" album is dropping Tuesday and her much anticipated tell-all documentary airs tonight on MTV. I will definitely be watching!
Personally, I love her.
Always have.
Not afraid to admit it.
Anymore.
As a Christian, I used to feel guilty admitting that, like it was taboo to say that. But I've finally learned to say whatever! Sure, I don't agree with everything that has gone down in her life. And I don't agree with some of the raunchy lyrics and dance moves she has. Ok, all of the raunchy lyrics and dance moves that she has. But as disastrous as her life has become, I can't help but feel sorry for her and root for her like an underdog and pray that she will one day use her spotlight for God's glory and goodness like I know is in her Southern Baptist roots.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, I read her mom's book and was impressed how much she was vocal about her own walk with Christ and the strength she gained from Him to battle all the "storms" her family has been through. She's the first to admit, she nor her family are perfect, but how thankful she was for Jesus' continued grace. She also shared from the heart her personal prayers for her children. But of course, that's the part that was left out the press when buzz was generating about the book. Instead of course, the press nit picked about the dramas on their walk of fame. Oh how people are so quick to critique and judge a book by it's cover instead of looking for the best in someone and realizing we all have our different battles we struggle with.. spotlight or no spotlight. (A hard lesson I'm learning myself these days on the other side of this blogging world.)
For a laugh, on Britney's website, you can create these stinkin' funny videos casting yourself in a Britney video, so I couldn't help but upload a photo and star in "Lucky." (I chose that one b/c it's my mom's dog's name!) Click the image to go to my video, I couldn't embed the video itself here.

I'm a "Britney rooter" too. There has always been a sweetness about her and even in all of her predicaments. I couldn't imagine people constantly following me around... talk about a disaster! As Christians~ well, we'll be judged by the same standards we judge others. YIKES!
That video is hilarious!! I have a friend who's a big fan...I'm going to have to Britney-ize her. :-)
Still loving Britney :)
I have always loved her too! I was always made fun of by my guy friends and old boyfriends but I never cared! My roommate in college and I would scream her music at the top of our lungs driving around campus and everyone would stare! We loved it! Crack me up!! She did great tonight in her explanation.. proud!!!
While I am not a huge fan of hers, I watched her MTV thing last night. I saw her differently and I felt sad for her. I wanted to reach out to her and give her a big hug. I hope she can regain control of her life and career and do well. The video you posted is too funny Scarlett!
I wasn't really a true britney fan until her toxic album. I LOVED it. saw that one in concert! I got my camera taken away. haha. I didn't get her whole last album, but I think I might for the next one.
yay...a fellow britney fan! so excited she is back!
