I was thinking about this yesterday while my g/f was watching CMT. I don't know who it was but her voice sounded HORRIBLE. The song sucked but when I turned around she was....well hot!

Granted I don't blame Britney for selling out because at 18 and a multimillionare I'd sell out too. The thing is I can remember when she hit the scene and how she talked about how much she loved music and the emotions behind music. She really doesn't sound that great and seems her shows are not very entertaining, that is except to all the teeny boppers that show up

So whats the deal, there are SO many musicians these days but you can never really find one that sticks around.

I can think of a few that gained success and have kept it in the 90's.

Dave Matthews Band
Pearl Jam (somewhat)

shouldn't it just be "sellout for real"?

 

[Raymond Kim]

Britney Spears is *NOT* a "musician" nor an "artist"... She is a *performer*

 

[WombatWoman]

Five years from now Spears will be on the "Where Are They Now?" shows. Ten years from now no one will care enough to feature her on those shows, and she will be just another piece of Hollywood scrap silicone. This is unfortunate, since I think she is a rather nice young woman, but showbiz is a cruel pimp to nice young women.

Well said Raymond Kim.

 

[FettsBabe]

She sucks....

 

[Passions]

i bet she will be really fat when she is 40.

 

[randomlinh]

yes, she sucks......

 

[Preyhunter]

She must be a sellout, because I don't think that THEY are real.

 

[jmcoreymv]

I think shes hot and I dont care what you people think!!!!

 

She's keepin' it real, that's for sure. She packs a Mack-10 from what I heard.

 

[Mday]

really fettsbabe, no wonder she is so popular, :Q

 

[FettsBabe]

she's popular because of all the little teenie boppers...I don't see a guy thats 23 running around saying "I just love Britney"

Somehow, I just don't think a guy on a crotch rocket or any other cool guy would say that!!!!

Talk about getting ragged on by all your buddies.

Yes, they are fake, did you notice how she just GREW over night??????

 

[randomlinh]

Guys that are 23 would say something... but I don't think i should repeat it here

Anyway, I was just watching the Today show.. and yep, she was on there "singing.." my gosh.. my ears hurt now. That wasn't singing, it was screeching...

 

[Wolfie]

Good thing I turned 24 yesterday then.

She will be burnt out on crack and she will be in Gary Collman's house of drugys in the future from all the stress.

Blah

[bozack]

and people care because?

 

[Wolfie]

Because we are the caring type. (Well most of us are anyways)

She's this generation's Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. I think that's all that needs to be said. Sad actually.

 

[FettsBabe]

I agree that she will incur a very sad and trematic ending. She was made in the studio just like the BackDoor Boys.

 

Britney, Christina, Mandy and Jessica are all the same person. I think they are evil spawns of some evil 1940's German Arayn clone experiment. They all must die in the name of democracy!!!

 

[FettsBabe]

LMAO

 

[BigToque]

Does it really matter if she is a good singer?

I say she has a sh!tty voice and she cant dance, etc, yet I will still listen to it. Why? because it sounds fine. I have no problem with all the boy and girl groups, I dont care that you say they are sh!t.

If they were as bad as you say they are, then why the hell do they sell so many albums? PEOPLE LIKE TO LISTEN THAT KIND OF MUSIC!

If you dont like it fine, but you dont have to go all apesh!t because you dont like it. just keep it to yourself.

 

[Vich]

i agree stefan, many of you people are jelous shes 18 and making more money than everyone on this baord will make together, but thats not the point, she made it big let her enjoy it , its the fools buying her cd's merchandise and everything else that are getting screwed over. Me i like napster!

 

[koko krispy monkey]

I like her. She's a cutie.

 

[The Wildcard]

Well actually, Brintey is pretty damm fine. Also, I believe that Christina Aguileria hjas the potential to have a longer musical career, similar to that of Whitney houston and MAriah Carey. Her voice can carry very well, she can handle long high notes and she sings with alot of emotion. All she needs is to clean up her appearance.
