Britney Spears is one of the greatest recording artists of our time.
So what does that say about music these days?
Brit’s record label released a statement to US Magazine…
“Jive is enormously excited about Britney’s new album, and we’re confident that it will secure her reputation as one of the great recording artists of her time. As Britney’s label, it’s not our place to comment on her personal issues, but we do care about her and support her. There’s no question that when performers attain the level of celebrity that Britney has, they tend to be treated by the press and public as if they were cartoon or soap-opera characters, and we forget that they’re actually human beings. People say that’s the trade-off you make for success in the entertainment industry – that if you want to make it big, you have to surrender your privacy or the ability to lead a normal life. But sometimes you make that bargain before you realize what it entails. Britney’s a grown woman who makes her own choices, and we respect that. But she faces challenges that most of us can’t really imagine.”

Can you sing?

First of all, “Can you sing?” has to be the most ridiculous comment. Do you seriously think people buy her CD’s and music because she looks hot on the covers? I understand if you don’t like her singing. Fine, don’t buy her CD. Don’t watch her. It’s a very simple choice to make.
I have so much respect for her label for making that statement. NOBODY deserves the amount of hate that has been piled on Britney Spears. People online are actually rooting for her to die. What a horrible commentary on blogs and media sites and the American population.
