People actually still have high expectations?!

There's really nothing to be upset about...

Actually I'm amazed by that. I was gonna listen to her interview but I saw Victoria (Spice Girls) there so I listened her first. Man she was in the station live broadcast around 7:30ish (and Britney's interview was around 9:30ish...), and she mentioned that she gotta wake up around 6ish cuz she gotta help the kids to school.

I mean, if this was a interview popping out of the blue (like they decided to call her all of the sudden), it would be ok. But I guess people around knew about there would be an interview coming. I guess she's still drown inside the drug pool while doing the interview.

Of course the interview wasn't as bad as I thought. But she left just after a few mins still amazed me to a certain point.

No, I've never been a hardcore fan of Britney. I just love some of her music. So it doesn't matter to me if she still wanna drown herself. I would love to see her stand up again one day. Some of you should keep your faith. As a Spice fan I've never expected that there would a reunion.. but let's see how active and happy the spice fans are now.. so maybe one day you will be happy as well (meaning that she's back to her old self..)

[futureLOVE]

BLACKOUT is HOTTTTTTT!!!!!

she may be a wrecked person, but she definately did good music for this album.

[TITANIC]

hello..

But the Spice Girls never went into crazy drug depression periods. They all had solo careers (of course to differing extents) that were successful. Brit really doesn't care about anything anymore and I've kept faith long enough. After watching that trainwreck VMA performance, seeing the monstrously horrid video for Gimme More, and now hearing this interview, I now despise her as a person. I'm sorry, but I do. I've held on far too long. Sure, her music will always be fantastic, but as a human being, she fails to even fill the basic requirements for being a decent one.

Blackout is amazing...its one of the best albums ive heard all year. My favorites are Gimme More, Piece of Me, Break the Ice, Freakshow, Hot as Ice, and Ooh Ooh Baby. There's only three songs i dont like; Radar, Get Naked (I Got a Plan), and Perfect Lover. The other songs are just ok.

Btw, i just read that Blackout sold more than 114,000 copies in the first day (according to Nielsen Soundscan) and they said they predicted about 350,000 for the first day. I know, that doesnt make much sense, but thats how it was phrased...i guess it sold 114,000 for the first part of the day, and the total for the entire 24 hours was 350,000-ish.....im not really sure. I wish we could just see all the sales and the chart positions...ive been checking every two hours since tuesday....

You've GOT to be kidding me. You should consider that the only things you now about her is what you read in the tabloids and internet gossip sites, which is all negative (half of it isn't even negative, like her going out and partying for example, but it's intentionally presented in a negative way which leads many folks to misunderstand it as negative news, just like the media wants them to). You only know about one aspect of her person, and that's it. The media portrays her has a bad person and many folks are fooled into believing that she truly is. You know what the media wants you to know. You don't know anything else. Best not to make a one-sided judgment. It's invalid. As for being a decent human being, the only thing she does is go about her own business. She doesn't harass anyone, she doesn't go out of her way to make life hard for others, she doesn't do anything of that sort. The only thing she does is wake up, make mistakes like the rest of us, and go about her life minding her own business. That to me seems to be a decent human being at the least.

LOL, she shouldn't be partying anyway, she should be discussing with her lawyer/defender-person () exactly how she's going to get custody of her children (which imo, she doesn't deserve custody over).

God knows what happens behind cameras with those two crackheads Allie and Sam etc. Britney should just completley disappear from the public eye for a few years and sort her life out then make her comeback. Because, even though musically 'Blackout' is a comeback, and it's selling well, she's just as bad as she ever was. D:

So, she didn't:

Get together with someone who had a pregnant wife at home.
Almost drop her kid, and then drive with the same kid on her lap.
Screw up a magazine shoot the other month with her selfish actions.
Give a judge cause to submit her for random drug testing.
Go drinking every night she had a court appearance in her custody battle.
Smack the paps with an umbrella.
Hit and Run ... a few time's.
Pretty much admit she didn't really want to finish the Onyx Hotel tour.
Flash her minge to all and sundry. Indecent exposure = criminal offence.

Good to know. Thank God non of those things happened and she really is a nice person

[Dreamin Startin]

^ o_O Did you not catch the meaning in that sentence? She doesn't go out of her way to make life hard for others. The mistakes and issues of her personal life are her business that she's got to deal with, but the fact still remains that the only thing she does now is mind her own business and go about her life.

Britney can't get away from being in the public eye. The media is always on her ass.

[Weslicious]

Hello. She stole a married man, and has almost damaged her kids. I doubt she woke up that morning and thought 'I might drop Sean today', but still, them poor little brats are gonna have a pretty naff life with that for a mum.
Then the magazine shoot. I'm sure it doesn't come naturally for people to let their dogs crap all over designer dresses and not say sorry, so yeah, she's gone out her way to be a vile person.
And do you accidentally pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ things with an umbrella? Or do you go out your way to do it.

[Dreamin Startin]

Those incidents are very old. I'm speaking of her recently. But if she knew that Kevin and Shar were together when she began talking to him, then she is indeed in the wrong. And she didn't command her dog to go on the designer dress just to make the owners upset. It was an accident. And did she not really apologize? I don't recall reading that she didn't apologize. And thinking that she'd go out of her way to hurt her kids is a crazy thought to have. She may be deemed an unfit mother but she definitely doesn't try to hurt her children.

She doesn't go out her way to be a bad person, but you're going out of your way to make her look like one.

[Weslicious]

Why? Because everything I mentioned never happened?

The only way I would be making her look bad without that being the case would be if I posted lie's.

The media are on her arse because she keeps them in contact when she goes out, get's them food, let's them do her shopping.

Portrayal of someone is how you intentionally choose to make them seem. It doesn't have to be done with lies. Just like toward the beginning of Britney's carrer she was portrayed by herself and her management as a "sexy-but-virginal girl next door". You're portraying her as a bad person. Her dog went on the dress; fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsibilty for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happen and it was a accident. She almost dropped her kids, fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsiblity for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happn and it was an accident. She hit another womans car, fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsiblity for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happen and it was an accident.

The media are on her arse because she keeps them in contact when she goes out, get's them food, let's them do her shopping.

But the media would be on her ass regardless, just as they have in the past.

[Weslicious]

See, if you have to explain her entire life as 'an accident' then that can't be right. Girlfriends messed up, and no matter how many Chris Crocker-esque fans tell me I'm being harsh, I'm just keeping it real. J-Lo real

[JesA]

i really think Britney should get custody of those boys. Kevin is worse than Britney in every way...he doesn't make enough money to support a family. The only reason he's getting the boys is cuz Britney always has cameras on her butt. I bet if the papparazzi followed Kevin for a while, things would change...

this is off topic, but..

i saw a rerun of the second Britney hosting on SNL last night on E!, and her performance was awesome! She sang I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman...and she didn't lipsync. It was actually really good....

True dat yo'

And Dreamin Startin, I completely stand by my comments. Sure, I don't think she goes out of her way to make anyone's life miserable, but she certainly doesn't seem to care about anyone's but her own. And she doesn't even treat that with respect either. There's only so much negativity the paps can portray. You can't pretend that the girl is the pure pop princess she once was, she IS a different person now.

Many reasons you've made are quite irrational. Not many people would have quite a few car accidents in less than a year. I didn't know she hit a woman's car, but I know her wheels stepped on a photographer's foot. And this is not the first time I hear she hits on an object. You can call those as accidents... BUT do normal people drives like that?

Oh gosh if you're working, you shouldn't bring the dogs in. That is a common mistake that both ayu and britney have. At least you dun see ayu's dogs trashing people's design... Britney can hire a person to look after her dog. PLUS I heard that she wiped her mouth with her hand, then she wiped her hand on the clothes rite? You said she took the responsibility (I assume paying for the damaged clothing?), but that's because she has money. A normal people can afford damaging those luxury stuff.

I dun even wanna talk about her kids cuz she and kev are just bad parents. And dun say she's been chasing by the media. If she doesn't act that weirdly, who would bother putting her on headlines? How often do you see Julia Roberts hitting people's car with an umbrella? Have you seen other artist showing her bottom in the public (other than Paris Hilton..)?

It's true that no one on the outside can know the whole story, but there is also a point where you can't possibly justify a persons' actions either. And her actions over the past couple of years and especially since having her kids have been inexcusable. If she were really so concerned about being a good human being than she wouldn't even have an album out right now, she wouldn't be trying to do anything except get herself together and get her family situation sorted out. Yes, media, papparazzi etc make it more difficult but ultimately you always have your own choices and she has continued to live a lifestyle that is going to attract a significant amount of attention, so in some ways she does bring it on herself.

Bottom line, she just needs to get her @*#$ together. Period.

[Dreamin Startin]Britney can't get away from being in the public eye. The media is always on her ass.[/Dreamin Startin]

I'm sorry, but that's an excuse. It's not impossible and if she didn't give them reason to, they wouldn't be there in the first place.
Even move to a different country if you have to(Johnny Depp is a good example). Hell, even move to Antartica if it's your own well being and your family that is at stake. The point is, you do what it takes if your family is really your priority. The papparrazzi (who I think are absolutely awful and should be illegal btw) are ultimately still just an excuse.
