'The Rap' Is Actually 3 Years Old
Britney did a rap while on PunkD. It's not part of a piece taken out of a
song from her 4th album. She sung "The Rap" three years ago in a
concert; at the Clarkston concert during "You Drive Me Crazy" back
in 2000.
The Rap
Yey, here they come, kissin' my ass
Hey we love you Britney sign a thousand autographs
Please just get to the point when you talk to me
And if your baby gets involved just rub my feet
Yeah this business is f*cked and I want somethin funner
I wanna sit at home and watch Dumb and Dumber...
sic...I take that back, I'm just tricking you see
Cause when I show my belly everybody copies me
Yeah its kinda cool, nothin' ????
But I'm just Britney Spears and I got all this power
But the bottom line is I don't even use it
Right when you become a b*tch that's when you lose it
So what if I do, what if I lose it all today
I've always got my friends to hold me all the way
Happiness is the key and love when you fall
Like Lauryn Hill said, you cant get that you got nothin' at all UH
#1 First off, the whole rap this is really dumb! She can't rap, if you listen to it, it sounds like she's talking more than anything. Plus, she used this rap 3 years ago! Talk about lack of creativity!
#2 The lyrics: "kissin' my ass" - that's true. People worship her WAY too much for lacking talent, morals and intelligence. "thousand autographs" - now she's dissing her fans who want her autograph. I'm sure it gets boring after a while but come on, they spend so much money on her and she can't take 5 seconds out of her day for them? "rub my feet" - random, only used because it rhymed. "show my belly everybody copies me" - oh please! yeah, she started the skank look for the most part, down to 3 year old girls, but she didn't start it! She merely made her image based on her body. "got all this power" - so does Bush, but do either of you deserve it? He didn't technically get elected and she doesn't have singing talent. Same difference!? "become a b*tch..." she's been one for a while yet she still has it solely because in our society sex sells more than anything else.
Britney's 50 Beautiful People article
Oh, to be rich, famous and 21. Young enough to try anything but old enough
to not have to explain yourself. One day you can smooch Colin Farrell, the
next you can attend the 22nd-birthday party of an old beau from a certain
boy band. At the drop of a super-chic newsboy cap, you can chop off your blonde
hair and dye it brown just to mix things up a little. You can spend one night
in Vegas, betting thousands at the blackjack table, and another in New York
City, crashing in your $3.8 million condo after a marathon of nightclub dancing.
Of course, part of growing up is also learning to know your limits. "My
No. 1 beauty secret is lots and lots of sleep," says Britney Spears.
"Eight hours a night, and I'm a big believer in naps." Any difficulty
with nodding off and she has a favorite remedy. "I wish I could stop
eating so much ice cream," says Spears. "I'll stupidly wake up and
eat it at night because it helps me sleep, but I need to stop doing that."
Aside from scolding herself for her Cookies & Cream binges and neglecting
to take her vitamins, the 5'4" Spears is making an effort to take good
care of herself. "I'm trying to do my yoga, eat my veggies and drink
lots of water," she says. Getting ready to release her fourth album in
October, Spears also sticks to a routine of biweekly manicures and pedicures
("I usually go for baby pink") and goes through tube after tube
of Kiehl's Lip Balm #1. "I probably like my lips most out of all my features,"
she says. "Every boyfriend I've had has complimented me on them."
#1 I hate the whole idea of doing the 'Most Beautiful" people each year. It's annoying as hell for them to decide what is "beautiful" and what isn't. Not to mention, they only pick celebrities so that doesn't count all the gorgeous people who aren't rich and famous out there. [Don't tell Bush] but I'm starting to really dislike the U.S. Yeah, we're free in some ways, but there is such inequality and he's trying to increase that (taking away women's rights, gay's rights, etc), not to mention our obsession with "the perfect" body is ridiculous. Also, Britney's picture makes it look like she's naked - they should use candid shots of these people to show that beauty is only after they are processed through computer with airbrushing! I'm very anti-beauty images in the U.S... 'People' is suppose to be a respected magazine, yet they categorize who and who isn't beautiful. -end of spiel, lol-
#2 "Every boyfriend" - didn't she say she's only had two? Who is this "every" part? Hm?
#3 Beauty secrets? Last I knew, she isn't what most consider beautiful... and a "big believer in naps"?? I'm sure that's all she believes in.
#4 Need to stop eating ice cream? That sounds like a pro-anorexic view to me. Why stop eating it if you like it? Just exercise and it will be fine...
I gave Britney her dream: I made her a real life Barbie doll.
How long do you think Britney will be around for (not what you hope, but will be) and why/how do you think she will end her career ??
oh sheesh, I believe she'll be around at least for another 5 years. unfortunately shes now way too popular to just leave off the scene and never come back. shes britney spears. a house hold name.although shes not as respected as she used to be, shes more popular than ever by anti's and fans. it sucks...it really does.
I think she'll be around for awhile because as long as there's stupid, impressionable young girls and old, lonely, horny old men there will be a wanting for someone to walk around with barely any clothes on. I do think that she'll eventually fade out when people find out that she is completely talentless, and that she doesn't ever sing live! I can't wait for that day!!!
She'll be around for two/three more years... she'll stop because she'll get pregnant..
I don't think The Bitch's "career" will last that much longer. working with all those great producers won't guarantee a great album. you have to have some kinda talent first. i'm sure the songs will be catchy, but as for longevity, this will be her last album (i think). the last one went downhill, so that's the trend that this one will follow too.
I think shes gonna be around for atleast another 2 or 3 years unfortunately... but sooner or later she will fade out. more and more new singers and bands are coming out each day that eventually people will just forget about her music
I think that Britney will not be around for much longer, maybe half a year. I think that when she tries to come back it will only work for a couple of months and then everyone will get sick of her and find someone else.
I think it will be in her music and all the stupid things she does in the public, her fan base is growing up and growing on, and want something else. She is trying to reinvent herself like Madonna, but she has nothing to offer, she has no talent to act, or sing, her only future is modeling and soft porn or hard porn. But her singing career will fail. Her music does not dominate the charts anymore and everyone is growing sick of her. She cant sell her stuff anymore. She made way too many mistakes. I give her another 3 years and she will be gone.
She might be around 'till she hits around 30 or so, then have a million "come-back"
and "farewell" concerts in her late 40s.
Steven Tyler: "Britney's a sweet girl beyond that whole fake t-ts and Justin Timberlake thing."
How do I even respond to this? I assume the "Justin Timberlake thing" refers to the "Are they? Aren't they?" dating publicity stunt they carried on for a while... as for the other thing, normally I would say that's extremely rude to say about a woman (in general) but since that's what she promotes, that's what she gets. [Remember her song: What U See Is What U Get...?]
"Acting" on 'All That'... gosh, she's really talented!
"I like fashion, but I want to be a singer and actor." - Jamie
Lynn
I've noticed the Spears' girls aren't really into using their mind for careers, they want the easy way. Don't get me wrong, acting and singing can be a lot of work and I highly respect a lot of artists/actors out there, but it doesn't require any real education.
Article in UK Magazine
Family Problems
- parent's divorce
- dad pulling a gun on fans, dating a drug user & using her name to get
into clubs
Career Slump
- 'Britney' cd performance was weak
- change image "fun and upbeat personality"
- broaden appeal - into movies (Die Hard 3?)
- bye bye to NYLA
- no more Pepsi, sued Skechers who counter-sued her (got "nothing"
from her)
Boyfriend Woes
- split with Justin Timberlake ("suffer in silence" over his talk)
- the Fred Durst deal; Britney denies it all
- "appearance as playboy Colin Forrell's date" at his premiere
I summed the article up... and oh my gosh people! Stop feeling sorry for her! Everyone has hardships why does it seem like hers are even worse?! Plus, most of hers she brought on herself - Justin/Fred/Colin things especually. Pepsi and Skechers also had reason to kick her out when she was getting more from the publicity then them! (not to mention she sued Skechers because they didn't promote HER stuff enough yet they PAID her to promote their stuff!)
In the Studio
I adore the outfit! It covers her whole top part (can't see the bottom), even
with people taking pictures, she's not selling her body for once. I'm sure
the music still sucks though with all the smoking in addition with the lack
of talent.
'Oops' German Mag
Again, I adore the hat! She's stealing JLo and Christina's idea with the hat...
but does that surprise us? The outfit is very laid-back, I like it. Cute glasses.
Her hair is blonde so you know this isn't too recent but oh well. She's probably
shopping here again too. The only thing the girl knows how to do.
Britney, Jamie Lynn, Lynn & Lisa
Britney has such a fake smile, you'd think she could make more believable
smiles. Jamie Lynn is looking like a mini-me, she seems prettier though but
that's probably because she has young skin and doesn't smoke. Lynn looks really
old, in the real picture, the woman has mad wrinkles! Lisa, no comments. Don't
know ofher so don't care.
On Punk'd
I think the look (facial/hair) is cute. It's more fun and laid back. The shirt
is ugly! "Do your boobs hang low, can you tie them in a knot, can you
tie them in a bow?" This is when she sings the "rap" (talked
about in "news"). Okay, I downloaded it so now I can report on it:
Britney and Ashton had an agreement that they would NOT Punk Britney. Yes,
she doesn't want to play that game so she made sure he wouldn't/couldn't do
it. Yet she has no problem doing it to others. Originally they were going
to have Busta. But he couldn't so they changed to try and Punk Ashton (and
she was going to). But he figured it out so he turned it around (and she got
in on it) to Punk'd the crew! So he pretended to get pissed at them and Britney
played along (she acts like a toodler throughout it! it's really annoying!).
She does a little "rap" (that she pretended to did to Busta. It's
lame and she can't rap.
Made "Before her liposuction"
NOT to offend anyone! These are fairy old but thought I'd include them now
to get rid of them.
Britney: "I don't think I'm a sexually provocative performer. I really just get into what I do. I haven't masturbated on a bed."
Not "on a bed" being the key words, she's done everything else though...
Britney, some man, Christina. It's a cute picture. I don't know who the guy is but Britney and Christina (-cough- the two biggest female pop stars off that show -cough-), seem to like him.
final grade: 2.3
several responses-
››— 2 - it is so ugly... what's with the polka dots? And she's grabbing her crotch (maybe the outfit was so tight the pants ripped there)! But at least she's covered up, so she gets a point for that.
››— 1. that suit makes her look like a fucking poptart, at least poptarts are good to eat, they do have one thing in common tho with her: their both made of stuff that isn't remotely CLOSE to natural ;)
››— 4. For Britney, it's actually not so bad. But the silver and pink is...disgusting. It's honestly something I would've dressed my barbies up in when I was little. And her pants just keep getting lower and lower...
››— 1 the outfit looks okay, I guess. my opinion, her boobs looks like pamela anderson, almost about to pop out. and don't tell me only because the shirt is too tight. one more thing, her face, yuck!, she looks like an old lady that just got plastic surgery on her face and eager to get her pictures taken.
››— I would give it a 5. i think the shirt itself is kind of cute for a celebrity, and the pants are okay. i think they're a smidgen too much together. however, the whole arm/glove thing is what's ugly. and i don't really like her shoes, plus her boobs are like popping out of shirt.
››— 2---is this a target commercial?
››— 4 this looks like something that I wear at dance competitions not out in public
››— PLATINUM 10- This is NOT revealing and it is a very artsy type outfit that I knowshe wore in a commercial for Japan (so keep that in mind). It's something that you can wear to school to be cute or to a club to be interesting. Her pose is sexy but not over the top but i' d wear silver glittered white & pink sneakers instead of boots. And the cleavage isn't TOO much it's barely noticeable unless you look really hard, plus she is 21.
››— I give her a 2, and I hope that was airbrushed because if it wasn't, she needs help for anorexia, look at how thin her legs are! I had to give her 2 because she was actually wearing clothes, but they are really really ugly.
››— 1! is that you RUPAUL?
››— 1 That is one of the ugliest outfits I have ever seen.. I love the color metallic silver... well at least I used to until I saw this outfit!
››— 4 - ::laughs:: She would get lower if she didn't look like a walking ad for bubble gum, with the pink and silver and all. The shoes are too pointy, you could poke an eye out, or a boob... on the bubbles on her shirt ;)
››— omg is it so she actually has most of her body covered WOW not many pictures like that i would have to give it a 6 its not skimpy but the colors are ugly
Underwear/Butt Spotting- Not to sound juvenile but ew! No one wants or needs to see that.. The whole point of thongs is that you don't see underwear lines in your outfit, it's not so they can stick out of your pants! How un-classy and cheap does that look! And the last one - nasty! That is at her premiere for 'Crossroads.' I guess she really wanted people to watch it thinking it was porn or something...
SITE LINK: Britney
Underground
GRADE LAYOUT: 6 / 10
GRADE CONTENT: 7 / 10
MY REVIEW: Scroll down for the nice menu; The idea of this site is
really interesting. Basically, posters of Britney's "Las Vegas"
appearance was posted around New York City (subway) to promote it, and people
ended up writing things on it and ripping holes in and whatnot. So this person
took pictures of it to show how people around there feel about her. lol The
site only provides thumbnails on each of the 5 pages but you can click on
CLOSE-UP or FULL to see it better. Somewhat annoying if you just want to see
them all at a time. Her quote on the page is: The Britney Spears Live from
Las Vegas ads assaulted the Big Apple for weeks, amidst the post 9.11 trauma
and heartbreak. To mimic the question penned on one ad poster, can we afford
this anymore? The message this scantily clad teen offers in a time of war
is uncertain, but several NYC subway riders didn’t hesitate to express their
thoughts.
