Ok, so I got to thinking about this the other day - now, say what you will about Britney Spears, but when it comes to musicians from my era who "can stand the test of time" - it appears as though Britney has doneso (for better or for worse). Kind of amazing, considering some she has outlasted.
Think about it - Britney has been around for over a decade. She was on her second album before that big Y2K snafu. She's been around longer than American Idol! I remember subscribing to Seventeen magazine and seeing her face in the ads as an up and coming artist.
I also remember, senior year of high school, going to Best Buy and being embarrassed to buy her CD (I think I lumped it in with U2 and Matchbox Twenty and pretended it was a gift for a younger cousin - I liked to pretend, back then, that I had finer tastes). However, now, I will proudly shout that I love Britney and I'm not afraid to show it! Think about - Baby One More Time, Womanizer, Gimme More, Lucky, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman, Someday, and of course my personal all-time favorite - Oops, I Did it Again!!
Is anyone else a closet Britney fan? Say what you will, she has consistently been in the news for ten years straight (again, for better or for worse). Maybe 'Oops, I Did It Again' was really a line foreshadowing what's to come in her career.

I have the last 3 Britney Spears CD's and i'm not a closeted fan...I'm fully out. LOL.
I am totally a closet Britney fan. I would never buy her cds, but I always enjoy when one of her songs comes up on the radio or dance floor.
I used to HATE her in high school. But as I have grown, I now feel nostalgic about her early stuff and respectful that she's still doing it today, despite all of her problems. If someone gave me tickets to her latest concert, I'd probably go.
What about Everytime? "and everytime i try to fly i fall, without my wings i feel so small, i guess i need you baby" Classic and Glen Hasnard does a cover of this song that is awesome. Look it up on youtube!! Oh and you gotta love Toxic!
