Good morning i can't stop thinking about this instagram post britney spears made yesterday

[portmanteaurian]

When I’m familiarizing myself with an artist’s discography (or, as now, revisiting), I usually forget to investigate region-specific bonus tracks

which is why I wasn’t aware lady gaga wrote a song for britney spears way back in 2008

the new britney album is good!!

sometimes i just feel the need to go and reread @isabelthespy‘s Britney Week because it is such a good body of writing

Britney tweeted that she's doing recording for her 9th albummm

Person: What're you thinking about?

Me: Britney Spears' astonishing and overlooked vocal flexibility

Them:

Me: Have you listened to "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" lately? Between Everytime and the title track it practically sounds like two different people.

Me: Sometimes she even does it within one song, look at Rock Me In (which honestly I feel is underrated) or Toy Soldier or--

Them: *walks away*

Me: Wait

Me: Come back

Me: I'll send you YouTube links!!

INTERVIEWER: 

Your career at the moment seems to be putting more emphasis on your sexuality and publicity stunts like the kiss with Madonna. Do you worry that people are going to lose site of the music and being known for stunts over your musical talent?

BRITNEY: Well actually I can’t help that. You know, I’m just performing. It’s not me that’s making a big deal out of it, it’s you guys. I’m just really going out there doing my thing, and people are like, ‘do you think it’s, she’s trying to make this big publicity thing?’ No. I’m just doing my job. I’m performing. I’m doing my thing. I’m not the one putting it all over the papers. You know, so if you think it’s me trying to make a publicity stunt, hell no, I’m just doing my job. It’s you guys [the press] making a big deal out of it.

this is from 2003??? she was younger than i am now and already SO done with press nonsense.

i also like this excerpt from the same interview, responding to a question about the idea of Avril Lavigne as an "anti-Britney" and whether she thought there was a "Britney backlash"

And as far as, you know, Avril Lavigne’s and all of those girls like that, they all have their game and what they do. But at the end of the day we’re all one. We’re all the same. And, you know, when I see Avril Lavigne on TV or Gwen Stefani or Christina Aguilera, I take pieces from them but, you know, I don’t copy their music, but like I see emotions in their music that I’m like that inspires me. And instead of, you know, girls being like anti this or anti that, we should like just be around to support each other and to inspire each other at the end of the day. And just, you know, lift each other up, instead of being, you know, kind of, you know, competitive and anti this and anti that. That’s kind of shallow to me.
