And this is really the sad thing about it. Of course, taste in music is subjective and everyone's entitled to like what they like, but the fact that so many of Britney's "fans" couldn't give a flying fuck about her as long as her barely-there vocals are added to some tracks is just saddening. Britney is a visible mess. But whatever, just keep pushing out them records.
This is an incredibly cynical, if not comically conspirative pretense. Yes, she looks a visible mess. WHERE is doing what she has done her entire life WRONG for her, however?
I would guess an apparently socially frightened individual such as Britney would flee to safe and routine activities, i.e. recording music and occasionally performing. Has she known any other life?
Pretending her handles are greedy and not in her best interests is especially cynical. This is twofold:
1. Britney is a PATIENT; you might also consider her a CHILD. A patient or a child under heavy medical and legal scrutiny seems UNLIKELY to be abused. Especially one as public as Britney.
2. Her handlers not only are her family (who SAVED her life), but also have (had) a life of their own. Her father is as much a SLAVE TO HER as Britney is a SLAVE TO HIM. An already wealthy man seeking even more wealth at the expense of her daughter's well being, while not unfeasible, is not the norm; adding that he has LOST his own life to care for his daughter's makes the proposition all the more cynical.
Wanting her to disappear and come back a restructured human also seems unfeasible. What else will she be doing with her time? Staying at home while vegetating, and letting her mind LOOSE (as one does in the absence of activities) is likely NOT the route to recovery.
CHALLENGING HERSELF to suppress her social fears (X-Factor), and keeping HERSELF OCCUPIED (her recording career), to me, seems like the only way to the recovery we all desire.
Strike 1: Using Metacritic
Much like you've done before.
Meanwhile, what's your chick done since the
critically under-performing Echo?
SIT.
Strike 2: Using a Metacritic aggregate score that doesn't even include her debut album.
As if that would change matters?
Foul Ball: Claiming "non-existent commercial success" when she's recently gotten a #1 single to her credit, a successful television show, and a pending album due to be released this year.
YET AGAIN with the 10-second guest feature receipt. By that logic, Lauren Bennet is more relevant than Xtincta by featuring on the more successful Party Rock Anthem.
The Noise is tumbling down an abyss towards irrelevance (as thoroughly noted). Not sure why you insist on that expired receipt.
Using the adjective "pending" is comically ironic; Xtincta seems to have many "pending" things, like relevance.
Strike 3: Citing album "reviews" as the barometer for whether or not someone's music is wanted.
Both critical AND commercial success were cited, the latter of which you seem to have conveniently glossed over.
If an artist has neither commercial nor critical success, what does IT have?
As if all of Britney's flaws are just magically erased by the existence of another artist. Talk about desperation. Talk about existential crises.
Not sure where I claimed Britney remains without flaws when I've dedicated paragraphs upon paragraphs concerning her MISERY.
I can't speak for OTHERS.
Yeah...Grammys, tens of millions of records sold, "Icon" status and respect amongst the industry. CHOIRS SINGING HER MUSIC. Those are some damn low standards.
Standards lower than the majority of faves discussed in this thread. Is that HARD to understand?
