It's possible some people feel this way, but for me (and no doubt many others), this is far from the truth. I like the idea of Ayu succeeding, but I also like her music for what it is, so whether or not the public likes her music has no influence on whether or not I like it.
Sure, the public loves Britney. They loved watching her transform from bizarre combination of sex and saccharine into the poster girl for the word "trainwreck." They like following her obsessively, her antics, her dancing, complaining about her Autotuned voice while still listening to it, her erratic phases and behaviors, and watching her new videos while cheering, "***** is back!"
The public still likes her music. And that's fine. This is the same public that thought it was a good idea to give Soulja Boy (and countless other people with no real merit) any kind of attention, and actually has an interest in what Paris Hilton's (and countless other people who...well you get it) tiny little thoughts are.
No offense to Britney fans--I'm not trying to imply that all her fans have "issues," but anyone who thinks has to admit the fascination with her personal turmoils and screaming-for-attention maneuvers is somewhere on the demented side. My point is,
her popularity has less to do with her actual music and more to do with the weird publicity she gets. ESPECIALLY now, but really even from the start. For those who like her music, again, I am definitely NOT personally attacking you. That stuff is catchy as all hell. But as far as Brit's popularity goes, the music itself just a small part of why she's so well-known.
OF COURSE the public still wants Britney. And OF COURSE some people are ignoring the public and enjoying a generous dose of NEXT LEVEL.
