Hey Pat and Carolyn! I love your vids! In a way I'm happy that she's back, but at the same time I feel like I want to protect her. I don't think she's really happy right now..obviously she said so in her documentary. Imagine going through what she went through and then survive..and still feel like a prisoner and being controlled by other people. All Britney wants is to be herself and to be heard by the people around her, but she can't even have that.
(cont.) I agree with others when they said Britney never really had a normal life..she's been raised on performing and showbiz. So of course she would have that teenager attitude especially ever since the breakdown. I definitely felt Britney when she felt that her life is TOO CONTROLLED and that everyday she just tries to cope and deal with it because she has to. If it wasn't for her kids and her passion for dancing she would totally lost it.
it's funny when people say "if she hates the paparazzi then why is she famous". if you know anything about britney you'd know that she wanted to become a singer since she was VERY young. there's videos of her out there singing when she was like 5. being that young, all you think about is your dream & getting to that dream.. of course a child isn't gonna think to themselves "maybe i shouldn't become a singer cause paparazzi will be everywhere and people will constantly screw me over"
she is also the guiness world book of records BREAKER for being the MOST SEARCHED PERSON in 2009. why? that's not guiness kissing her ass, ITS THE FANS THAT CONTINUES TO SHOW HER LOVE AND SUPPORT even though she was at her darkest TIMES! so why cant you just find yourself much more sensible stuff to do????? oh my gosh. your ignorance is killing me!
first of all, you two need to get a damn life. second, MTV aint kissing nobody's ass especially britney's,whatver it is that britney spears has in her award collection room, SHE DESERVES IT. and bout that VMA snagging three awards, well, WHAT CAN I SAY?? BRITNEY SPEARS HAS THIS HUGE AND AMAZING FANBASE!
You guys call yourself Britney fans. If you were you would be devoted to her and accept everything she does. At least she won video of the Year. You shouldn't feel bad for britney. I don't belive your fans. Britneys personal life is reserved and you should'nt have to want to invade. If she shares her personal affaris with the media then thats all you need to know. Mind your own bussines. DON'T FEEL BAD FOR HER!!!!!!!
You opinion is so badis so lame like youare saying stupid things. I mean when she said I hate fucking wait,and the y give her that cellphone I mean thats liek not weird at allmany people hate wait.

People nobody gets over a complete melt down like Britney went through in just a few months. It takes years to over come such mental issues. Besides Britney can not sing and never was a true vocalist. She is a media whore who needs to know that the spot light is no longer shining on her. Fake awards for doing nothing. She so sucks and needs to stop acting like she could sing when everybody know at this point that she can NOT.
I think what you guys had to say was actually worth listening to. I mean I didn't feel like you guys were biased at all, except the boy kept hating on britney! jk lol but I completely agree with you, that people don't really know what's happening in her life, and that the amount of judging that goes into her as a person is not justified. I think that Britney's new album "Circus" is amazing and that it really represents a lot of the troubles she's been through. Plus she's hot as ever now.

Britney is a media whore and this new CD and tour is yet another sad attempt for more attention. Im sorry no matter what all the thoughtless Britney fans have to say but it would be in Britneys and her beautiful children best interest that she get her mental issues in order and regain custody rather then go on tour.
umm first of all the artists who were nominated for the video of the year award didn't have any good videos either. At least Britney's video was memorable.
Not everyone needs to know about every single detail about Britney. Also every single pop star has a machine around them. She's not the only one.
I love britney, she is humble and sweet. I laughed seeing her saying shes real mad but shes laughing! She seriously is a kid inside! but thats a real good thing! shes so funny! i love her!
i felt bad for her, i feel like she is a 'teen' bc they are treating her like that and also bc she never got exactly a normal childhood, so she never developed/matured as we all do. I feel bad for her, but i 100% support her. So happy shes BACK!
Love the blog!!! I love britney, and I agree, I grew up with britney and have been one of her "queer fans" from day 1...but i hate when people say "If you don't like the paparazzi, don't become a celebrity"...well when brit first came out, paparazzi didn't hound celebrities vehicles while they were at a stop light...like what Madonna said, "Luckily when I was becoming famous, i was able to hang out with the wrong people, and make mistakes, britney will never have that" and that is so true...
Exactly. A lot of people think that if you're not in it for the money, don't be a celebrity.
To me, Britney went in wanting to entertain and influence the world, she never really wanted to have bullshit people to sensationalize her life and have people then gobble what media portrays someone.
It is true that the doco was made and edited to feel that way, but in my opinion, Britney was treated terribly from people. She deserves much better.
MTV uses her name for ratings. All of her dreams came true but she was taken advantage of soo many times it took it from a positive thing to a negative thing and she rebelled. Even when she was smiling or laughin the look in her eyes was soo sad and she seems so helpless, she cant have a life that is sad! Im not even a fan club kind of person but Britneys just different lol, she will always have a successful career as long as she wants it. I bought the cd its awesome! Great vid we agree on alot.
It would be cool if you guys did a vlog on the new "people" issue featuring Kevin's side of the story and then compare both stories. Think about it! Thanks and God bless!
i have to disagree about the whole shes impatient thing acting like a child... Im in the entertainment industry and honestly being on set is often a 18 to 24 hour long process....you spend hours waiting for set up tat takes about 5 minuites or less to shoot. so ur constantly waiting so unless you have expereienced it..then you shouldnt judge.

britney is only famous for her body...her voice stinks and its all computerized..if you're a celebrity you know people watch you, she knew what she was doing and still does, yes they only post the bad stuff, but come on..its the price you pay for fame...she should suck it up or stop being an entertainer..cuz theres not much entertaining anyway hahaha....hey pat did you get a hair cut?
really good thoughts you guys. i liked this blog. i watched the britney thing too, and i felt really bad for her. i can't even imagine not being able to like go for a walk down the street with my friends. i was wondering if you guys would maybe do american idol for your next show. i'm completely addicted to it and i would love to hear your thoughts.
OK listen William Hung, don't you realize that calling whoever defends Britney Chris Crocker Isn't really funny, it's just childish and stupid, it's the same thing as calling someone a "liar liar pants on fire", grow up.
there other ways to be funny, be saying that just aint funny, its really jsut annoying, its the equivilant of acting as a child in the playground calling someone a tatal tale
I agree.. Her full form would be dancing well and NOT lip syncing.. Dont even know if her world tour will be lipsynced.. if it is- i wudnt go.. its also cos everyone (including me) wants her to come back and wants her to do well, she has so many expectations.. maybe she shud just take a break! But she is like 27.. so lots of factors making what she is today...
Bitch please, Britney is an entertainer she can lip sync if she wants she doesn't need to please anyone. She has been through hell and shes been ripped apart by the media, do u really expect her to perform like she used to? Give the girl a break, Britney cannot please everyone. Just be happy shes doing this comeback for all of us
if shes lip syncing at a concert ALL THE TIME, i might aswell just listen to my ipod or MP3 player and watch her dance- and thats not great either. HENCE, if shes getting better and better at performing, not only will her dance improve, so shud her singing!
WHY do any of you care one way or the other what Britney Spears says or does? Is she concerned at all with YOUR lives? She's a girl who happened to get into the spotlight. Fairly pretty from the right angle, not a great singer, okay dancer, flaky behavior, which makes her like 8 jillion others. The material you see isn't even written/arranged/produced by her, it's someone else's creativity. You're just being hypnotized by the quick-cut montage money extracting machine.
There's no doubt that Britney is the iconic female pop singer of our (Gen Y) generation. The documentary focused more on her emotional battles rather than the details of her life (i.e. psych ward, custody battle, restraining order against mother) which made you feel for her but still leave you wondering.
You guys should see E! docum. "Fall from grace"; they reinforce the notion that she has been trained early to be a performer publicly and privately which can create identity issues.
I think she has been told what to do, since she was 16 how to do things and has never really gotten the chance to explore herself.
You guys should REALLY see E!'s true hollywood story "Britney Spears: Fall From Grace" since former record execs with Britney, music magazine editors, fansite managers, therapists, and biographers all explain about her.
I have it in my favorites, after seeing that you guys should then comment on her! Tell me what you guys think!
I kind of want to walk her into her driveway with one body guard, daily, and just let her stand there for 15 min., then walk her back to her place. After a while, the interest would wear off.
Who knows why she's being pegged as Papparazzi's most common target.
I'm not even a fan, but am pretty fed up with the bullying and inhumane treatment of her; no one deserves to be treated like that.
Britney is finally back! and Circus is a great album, better than the artificial electric mixes in Blackout... (not to mention that horrible cover)... and i really do feel sorry for her downward spiral from marriage to head shaving... but everything seems to be in the favour of her comeback it seems so put on... plus shes lypsincin to EVERYTHING.. kinda getting tired of it.. and all her performaces are the same. *yawn* will have to resort to listening to Circus until she comes to the O2 nxt year
I feel sorry for her as a person. Its true that what she went through and what she continues to go through is a lot for anyone to handle. I also agree that no one should have to explain their breakdowns especially with everyone watching. The thing is that she isn't always the victim that the documentary would have us believe. A lot of her actions were just like pat and carolyn said like a 14 y/o would have made. It's a tough world for all and we all have to deal.
Being 1 22-year-old male in NC I honestly feel for her. ((Southern shout out to Carolyn))
I felt for her even when she was going through last year. To go from the Mickey Mouse Club to being a superstar to being a married mother of two to being a SINGLE mother of two is an insane transformation to go through.
Not to mention the videoshoots, photoshoots, interviews, conferences that she goes though DAILY. It's hella stress.
Oh, and the shopping bit that they showed, it was needed, I believe.
also, did anyone else catch the part where she was shopping? is it just me or did i hear her say "this is too expensive" when looking at the price on a shirt. i mean, does she really have to worry about that?
i loved it. it was so sad though, seeing Britney so confused with her life, and the part with her almost in tears saying 'i'm so sad'. i really feel bad for her.
I was considering buying her album before, but after watching this the other night i am definitely going to buy it.
GASP! Piece Of Me was a great song! The video sucked, but I think she won those awards because the song was so great it didn't need a good video. And OMG can't a person act a little childish sometimes? I mean, my mom acts like that sometimes. It doesn't mean she's a teenager. THAT kind of scrutiny and expectancy for her to be perfect all the time and "act her age" is what helped her go off the deep end. And don't be offended, Caroline, because Pat was the one who said all of those things.
Ya, I like to play devil's advocate sometimes. I think we all act childish at times (lord knows I do!) but we all aren't held to the expectations of celebrities... which is the problem.
What happens in YOUR life is no ones business but yours and those involved, so why in the hell is what happens to her public knowledge? Why do we expect her life to be our business? Its not our business and its high time people stop acting like it is. Were the problem, not her not her life. US the nosy people who force themselves into peoples (we dont even know and NEVER will)lives and act like its our business to be there?
Stalking is illegal, no matter who you are, famous not famous stalking is illegal, and I believe in my heart and mind that these paparazzi are stalkers. There is taking pictures, and then there is stalking. Paparazzi have no boundaries they take and take and take because its their job thats not a job, its stalking.
I say good luck to Brit. I wish her all the best in what she does with her life, but its none of my business if she makes mistakes big deal, we ALL make mistakes. Call her a role model, Im a role model to my little sisters and brothers, and I make mistakes as well. No one asks for the title of a role model, it just happens to them. People forget that shes human and she has feelings just like everyone else. Shes got bad days and good days just like everyone else.
Her choice to pursue pop $tardom & be pursued by the media. Rich & famous tho mediocre talent. People with real problems, kids dying of cancer, genocide in war zones & she can't find happiness? Feels lost? Self-absorbed orchestrated pity party that people are buying hook line & sinker. If she's so miserable let her join the Peace Corps, go to college, go back to Kentwood and work at the bottling plant, set up a music scholarship. She'll never get a dime of my money.
I do genuinely feel sorry for her, and aye I would like to know more about her breakdown and her 2007 vma performance, but like she said its non of our buisness!.
Im not entirely confident that this is her breakthrough 'comeback'. Only time will tell. Im 100% behind her.
I have been talking with some friends about this over the last year. I mean, sure she is responsible for herself and her own mistakes, but the people who "raised" her and exposed her and didn't protect her or teach her coping mechanisms are so much more to blame.
And about the grocery store, I really feel bad for her. She really can't go anywhere, and it's not like it is just fans wanting her autograph, it is the relentless photographers trying to catch her next mistake.
Does anyone else realize that these singers that we grew up on and of our generation are all around the same age. JT, Beyonce, Christina, and Britney are all around the same age, but Britney is the only one who seems to having a problem which is sad. I've seen a ton of Britney performances lately and her heart doesn't seem in it anymore. I know were all hoping for a comeback, even though Britney doesn't want a comeback, but I don't think it's going to happen.
Totally. I'm within a year of all 4 of those superstars, but Britney just doesn't carry herself like the rest of them. And they all started out as child stars, so it's not her early start that made her this way. I think we got to see her true self and her real ability to cope with the madness.
and then laughs, maybe cause she expects to not be taken seriously, but in her eyes you can see, she is woundrable and really means it. Brilliant choice of an ending to sum it all up.
By the way.. i desagree on buying her album... cause it would show disc labels that its ok to promote her as a product and use her! at least before they had the decency of hidding the fact they were using her, now its just so obvius... she should disappear for a while and give herself the change to growup and live peacefully, she more than anyone deserves peace
well 1st of all,the documentary is well done, sooo well done that sometimes we forget its a product, just like her...the sad part for me its when she says"i used to be a cool girl!"so sad!it was like.. i used to be, but i have no idea who i am now, shes like a monkey in a box and everyone is looking how she dances and trowing coins...the lesson to learn here i think it is about being famous.. its really hard, and after britney, im happy being unknow and have enought money for the ocasional steak
I love you Carolyn I agreed with a ton of things you said. Britney is an inspiration to me I love her so much words cannot explain. The documentary was raw, relatable, just EPIC.
i think that mtv did all that and the favor for her because i guess it just to give her a boost makes her feel better and she has been better so i think its good for her
I felt so sad for Britney.She talked about how she was like a prisoner in her house because every time she left there were paparazzi. I really wished that people would back off her and give her some elbow space.However, this documentary was well done. It included the promo for her next video Circus (which looks AMAZING) and another think I liked about it was that it shows how Britney is such a nice and funny person. When she goes clothes shopping, she was hilarious. She has to try to be "normal"
Pat was going to say something about the flipside of the Fame Machine.
I was thinking about that too...On one side you have the intoxicating perks/money/power of being famous and on the other side you have the pain of zero freedom/being controlled and ironically you have loneliness.
I love Britney I think you guys are over-analyzing everything. She is human and the documentary made me see her in a different way - i saw her as one of us, as opposed to the celebrity. Now I love Britney even more.
wow i really liked this blog. i missed the documentary bec. of work but now i really want to watch it. I will definitely buy the album. Whats your favorite track on the new album?
Hey guys! I don't care much for Brittney, but I've missed you since ANTM and had to check out the vlog.
On another note, Carolyn, you are so pretty. and I love your headband thingummy's. And Pat, you are super freakin' cute. Saw that you had facial hair in an early vlog. Any chance we might see that again sometime? And ffinally, I'm moving up to NY next year. i want to buy you guys coffee!! I'm visiting in Jan - send me a message!
I think britney just needs to kind of grow up and change a little bit. It use to be cool to watch her perform but now she can't really dance as well and watching someone lip sync isn't as interesting as it was when I was 13. Beyonce is the same age as her and they have a lot of similarities if you look at their lives the only real difference is that beyonce grew with her music and career where britney is still riding on the same act. and it is kind of sad :(
Guys I have to say my buddies and I were on a total downer after watching the show here in scotland. The documentary was heavily edited in parts. I really feel now shes her own worst enemy...she needs to take a year or two out on a desert Island away from the media. Buying her album is hurting her more than buying those rag mags! Nice to see you so passionate Carolyn, why can everyone see what she really needs except the assholes who are meant to take care of her! xo
By the way.. i desagree on buying her album... cause it would show disc labels that its ok to promote her as a product and use her! at least before they had the decency of hidding the fact they were using her, now its just so obvius... she should disappear for a while and give herself the change to growup and live peacefully, she more than anyone deserves peace

I tried posting a comment earlier and I couldnt... well any way..."LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" lol jk I love Britney and I'm happy she's doing better... you go brit... and you guys should really do Beyonce lol
I just cannot feel Bad for her.First of all if she wants to be left alone She need to LEAVE L.A.!I think what is easy to forget is that Her Kids are also in the middle of this crazy storm and if she wants to be with them than HeckYea she's going to have to jump through serious Hoops.Now that she is a MOM it is NO LONGER about her It is about the Kids and their safety,and right now she CANNOT take care of them or herself.She may be back but she will NEVER be what she was. She has to accept that.
I think the problem with Britney's relationship with the public over the past year is that any information we get is filtered through people and publications that are out to make money so of course they're going to sensationalize it. The media doesn't see her as a person but rather a headline. I'm not surprised she had a break down and I genuinely feel bad for her.
hey love u guys i totaly agree i feel bad 4her but at the same time if u dont want the drama move back to louisiana or go some place else ...xoxo from belgium
Love Britney, There are many of us who have followed her throughout the years and feel a connection with her since we remember her starting out. I truly think that the celebrity lifestyle has gotten to her. She said "Nothing is exciting anymore." I guess once you get everything, it may feel like there is nothing left to work for..
aww guys i'm so with u on everything you say :) I love her and she's damn real... just in a weird world... i like the way u discuss that documentary... I still have to see it, but I loved ur discussion... thanks :)
btw... I bought the album and I will always support her... but actually I'm not too sure what to think about that comeback... she looks great and I still think she's an amazing human being... but I guess that whole expereince, her whole journey broke something inside of her that can't heal that easily...
and I guess it never will... like she says in the preview: "I cope with it... everyday!" That's how she handles her life right now and she makes the best out of those moments where she can feel a glimpse of happiness like with her kids or when she's on stage expressing herself... Britney has always been the most controverse star I've grown up with and I think she'll always be...
people will judge her anyways... but I love her attempt to show her side of the story, because at least to a certain extend "for the record" is HER side of the story... I just hope the best for her... as strange as it is to be so obsessed with a person u don't REALLY know... I Just want her to be happy... if she's happy I'm happy... but it's great to see she has fans like u r... kind of realistic about her and her situation but still rooting for her... love that... keep doind what u do guys...

It would be cool if you guys did a vlog on the new "people" issue featuring Kevin's side of the story and then compare both stories. Think about it! Thanks and God bless!

i have to disagree about the whole shes impatient thing acting like a child... Im in the entertainment industry and honestly being on set is often a 18 to 24 hour long process....you spend hours waiting for set up tat takes about 5 minuites or less to shoot. so ur constantly waiting so unless you have expereienced it..then you shouldnt judge.

I am going to buy her album for sure.

Britney has about 100 million, although the Britney corporation has earned over a billion.
she gets shitty deals actually like the perfumes i think i read she gets only 10 percent.

britney is only famous for her body...her voice stinks and its all computerized..if you're a celebrity you know people watch you, she knew what she was doing and still does, yes they only post the bad stuff, but come on..its the price you pay for fame...she should suck it up or stop being an entertainer..cuz theres not much entertaining anyway hahaha....hey pat did you get a hair cut?

I bought 2 copies of her album today.

really good thoughts you guys. i liked this blog. i watched the britney thing too, and i felt really bad for her. i can't even imagine not being able to like go for a walk down the street with my friends. i was wondering if you guys would maybe do american idol for your next show. i'm completely addicted to it and i would love to hear your thoughts.

OK listen William Hung, don't you realize that calling whoever defends Britney Chris Crocker Isn't really funny, it's just childish and stupid, it's the same thing as calling someone a "liar liar pants on fire", grow up.

I agree.. Her full form would be dancing well and NOT lip syncing.. Dont even know if her world tour will be lipsynced.. if it is- i wudnt go.. its also cos everyone (including me) wants her to come back and wants her to do well, she has so many expectations.. maybe she shud just take a break! But she is like 27.. so lots of factors making what she is today...
matthew22oct 3 years ago
Bitch please, Britney is an entertainer she can lip sync if she wants she doesn't need to please anyone. She has been through hell and shes been ripped apart by the media, do u really expect her to perform like she used to? Give the girl a break, Britney cannot please everyone. Just be happy shes doing this comeback for all of us
emonypemony 3 years ago 3
You are a total bitch for calling me one...
if shes lip syncing at a concert ALL THE TIME, i might aswell just listen to my ipod or MP3 player and watch her dance- and thats not great either. HENCE, if shes getting better and better at performing, not only will her dance improve, so shud her singing!
matthew22oct 3 years ago
WHY do any of you care one way or the other what Britney Spears says or does? Is she concerned at all with YOUR lives? She's a girl who happened to get into the spotlight. Fairly pretty from the right angle, not a great singer, okay dancer, flaky behavior, which makes her like 8 jillion others. The material you see isn't even written/arranged/produced by her, it's someone else's creativity. You're just being hypnotized by the quick-cut montage money extracting machine.
DarkOneLives 3 years ago
There's no doubt that Britney is the iconic female pop singer of our (Gen Y) generation. The documentary focused more on her emotional battles rather than the details of her life (i.e. psych ward, custody battle, restraining order against mother) which made you feel for her but still leave you wondering.
You guys should see E! docum. "Fall from grace"; they reinforce the notion that she has been trained early to be a performer publicly and privately which can create identity issues.
wxyzdetroit 3 years ago
I think she has been told what to do, since she was 16 how to do things and has never really gotten the chance to explore herself.
You guys should REALLY see E!'s true hollywood story "Britney Spears: Fall From Grace" since former record execs with Britney, music magazine editors, fansite managers, therapists, and biographers all explain about her.
I have it in my favorites, after seeing that you guys should then comment on her! Tell me what you guys think!
wxyzdetroit 3 years ago
I kind of want to walk her into her driveway with one body guard, daily, and just let her stand there for 15 min., then walk her back to her place. After a while, the interest would wear off.
Who knows why she's being pegged as Papparazzi's most common target.
I'm not even a fan, but am pretty fed up with the bullying and inhumane treatment of her; no one deserves to be treated like that.
UGH! Too much to say!! I know you guys agree.

Britney is finally back! and Circus is a great album, better than the artificial electric mixes in Blackout... (not to mention that horrible cover)... and i really do feel sorry for her downward spiral from marriage to head shaving... but everything seems to be in the favour of her comeback it seems so put on... plus shes lypsincin to EVERYTHING.. kinda getting tired of it.. and all her performaces are the same. *yawn* will have to resort to listening to Circus until she comes to the O2 nxt year
matthew22oct 3 years ago
I feel sorry for her as a person. Its true that what she went through and what she continues to go through is a lot for anyone to handle. I also agree that no one should have to explain their breakdowns especially with everyone watching. The thing is that she isn't always the victim that the documentary would have us believe. A lot of her actions were just like pat and carolyn said like a 14 y/o would have made. It's a tough world for all and we all have to deal.
almalatino1 3 years ago

Being 1 22-year-old male in NC I honestly feel for her. ((Southern shout out to Carolyn))
I felt for her even when she was going through last year. To go from the Mickey Mouse Club to being a superstar to being a married mother of two to being a SINGLE mother of two is an insane transformation to go through.
Not to mention the videoshoots, photoshoots, interviews, conferences that she goes though DAILY. It's hella stress.
Oh, and the shopping bit that they showed, it was needed, I believe.
newkidusa 3 years ago
also, did anyone else catch the part where she was shopping? is it just me or did i hear her say "this is too expensive" when looking at the price on a shirt. i mean, does she really have to worry about that?
melgo09 3 years ago
i loved it. it was so sad though, seeing Britney so confused with her life, and the part with her almost in tears saying 'i'm so sad'. i really feel bad for her.
I was considering buying her album before, but after watching this the other night i am definitely going to buy it.
melgo09 3 years ago
GASP! Piece Of Me was a great song! The video sucked, but I think she won those awards because the song was so great it didn't need a good video. And OMG can't a person act a little childish sometimes? I mean, my mom acts like that sometimes. It doesn't mean she's a teenager. THAT kind of scrutiny and expectancy for her to be perfect all the time and "act her age" is what helped her go off the deep end. And don't be offended, Caroline, because Pat was the one who said all of those things.
kablay1 3 years ago
Ya, I like to play devil's advocate sometimes. I think we all act childish at times (lord knows I do!) but we all aren't held to the expectations of celebrities... which is the problem.
ABlogAboutThings 3 years ago
What happens in YOUR life is no ones business but yours and those involved, so why in the hell is what happens to her public knowledge? Why do we expect her life to be our business? Its not our business and its high time people stop acting like it is. Were the problem, not her not her life. US the nosy people who force themselves into peoples (we dont even know and NEVER will)lives and act like its our business to be there?

Stalking is illegal, no matter who you are, famous not famous stalking is illegal, and I believe in my heart and mind that these paparazzi are stalkers. There is taking pictures, and then there is stalking. Paparazzi have no boundaries they take and take and take because its their job thats not a job, its stalking.
princerocks84 3 years ago
I say good luck to Brit. I wish her all the best in what she does with her life, but its none of my business if she makes mistakes big deal, we ALL make mistakes. Call her a role model, Im a role model to my little sisters and brothers, and I make mistakes as well. No one asks for the title of a role model, it just happens to them. People forget that shes human and she has feelings just like everyone else. Shes got bad days and good days just like everyone else.
princerocks84 3 years ago
Her choice to pursue pop $tardom & be pursued by the media. Rich & famous tho mediocre talent. People with real problems, kids dying of cancer, genocide in war zones & she can't find happiness? Feels lost? Self-absorbed orchestrated pity party that people are buying hook line & sinker. If she's so miserable let her join the Peace Corps, go to college, go back to Kentwood and work at the bottling plant, set up a music scholarship. She'll never get a dime of my money.

I do genuinely feel sorry for her, and aye I would like to know more about her breakdown and her 2007 vma performance, but like she said its non of our buisness!.
Im not entirely confident that this is her breakthrough 'comeback'. Only time will tell. Im 100% behind her.
gpjbuijnsters 3 years ago
I have been talking with some friends about this over the last year. I mean, sure she is responsible for herself and her own mistakes, but the people who "raised" her and exposed her and didn't protect her or teach her coping mechanisms are so much more to blame.
And about the grocery store, I really feel bad for her. She really can't go anywhere, and it's not like it is just fans wanting her autograph, it is the relentless photographers trying to catch her next mistake.

Does anyone else realize that these singers that we grew up on and of our generation are all around the same age. JT, Beyonce, Christina, and Britney are all around the same age, but Britney is the only one who seems to having a problem which is sad. I've seen a ton of Britney performances lately and her heart doesn't seem in it anymore. I know were all hoping for a comeback, even though Britney doesn't want a comeback, but I don't think it's going to happen.
Didi91388 3 years ago
Totally. I'm within a year of all 4 of those superstars, but Britney just doesn't carry herself like the rest of them. And they all started out as child stars, so it's not her early start that made her this way. I think we got to see her true self and her real ability to cope with the madness.
ABlogAboutThings 3 years ago
I liked the ending when she says:
I go through life like a karate kid..
and then laughs, maybe cause she expects to not be taken seriously, but in her eyes you can see, she is woundrable and really means it. Brilliant choice of an ending to sum it all up.
Thanks for another great recap <3

By the way.. i desagree on buying her album... cause it would show disc labels that its ok to promote her as a product and use her! at least before they had the decency of hidding the fact they were using her, now its just so obvius... she should disappear for a while and give herself the change to growup and live peacefully, she more than anyone deserves peace
sophie0007 3 years ago
well 1st of all,the documentary is well done, sooo well done that sometimes we forget its a product, just like her...the sad part for me its when she says"i used to be a cool girl!"so sad!it was like.. i used to be, but i have no idea who i am now, shes like a monkey in a box and everyone is looking how she dances and trowing coins...the lesson to learn here i think it is about being famous.. its really hard, and after britney, im happy being unknow and have enought money for the ocasional steak

I felt so sad for Britney.She talked about how she was like a prisoner in her house because every time she left there were paparazzi. I really wished that people would back off her and give her some elbow space.However, this documentary was well done. It included the promo for her next video Circus (which looks AMAZING) and another think I liked about it was that it shows how Britney is such a nice and funny person. When she goes clothes shopping, she was hilarious. She has to try to be "normal"
ersboom99 3 years ago
Pat was going to say something about the flipside of the Fame Machine.
I was thinking about that too...On one side you have the intoxicating perks/money/power of being famous and on the other side you have the pain of zero freedom/being controlled and ironically you have loneliness.
It's like you have it all and you have nothing.
Very weird.

Hey guys! I don't care much for Brittney, but I've missed you since ANTM and had to check out the vlog.
On another note, Carolyn, you are so pretty. and I love your headband thingummy's. And Pat, you are super freakin' cute. Saw that you had facial hair in an early vlog. Any chance we might see that again sometime? And ffinally, I'm moving up to NY next year. i want to buy you guys coffee!! I'm visiting in Jan - send me a message!

I think britney just needs to kind of grow up and change a little bit. It use to be cool to watch her perform but now she can't really dance as well and watching someone lip sync isn't as interesting as it was when I was 13. Beyonce is the same age as her and they have a lot of similarities if you look at their lives the only real difference is that beyonce grew with her music and career where britney is still riding on the same act. and it is kind of sad :(

Guys I have to say my buddies and I were on a total downer after watching the show here in scotland. The documentary was heavily edited in parts. I really feel now shes her own worst enemy...she needs to take a year or two out on a desert Island away from the media. Buying her album is hurting her more than buying those rag mags! Nice to see you so passionate Carolyn, why can everyone see what she really needs except the assholes who are meant to take care of her! xo

I just cannot feel Bad for her.First of all if she wants to be left alone She need to LEAVE L.A.!I think what is easy to forget is that Her Kids are also in the middle of this crazy storm and if she wants to be with them than HeckYea she's going to have to jump through serious Hoops.Now that she is a MOM it is NO LONGER about her It is about the Kids and their safety,and right now she CANNOT take care of them or herself.She may be back but she will NEVER be what she was. She has to accept that.
Santasprout 3 years ago
I think the problem with Britney's relationship with the public over the past year is that any information we get is filtered through people and publications that are out to make money so of course they're going to sensationalize it. The media doesn't see her as a person but rather a headline. I'm not surprised she had a break down and I genuinely feel bad for her.

Love Britney, There are many of us who have followed her throughout the years and feel a connection with her since we remember her starting out. I truly think that the celebrity lifestyle has gotten to her. She said "Nothing is exciting anymore." I guess once you get everything, it may feel like there is nothing left to work for..

btw... I bought the album and I will always support her... but actually I'm not too sure what to think about that comeback... she looks great and I still think she's an amazing human being... but I guess that whole expereince, her whole journey broke something inside of her that can't heal that easily...
Maninangel 3 years ago
and I guess it never will... like she says in the preview: "I cope with it... everyday!" That's how she handles her life right now and she makes the best out of those moments where she can feel a glimpse of happiness like with her kids or when she's on stage expressing herself... Britney has always been the most controverse star I've grown up with and I think she'll always be...
Maninangel 3 years ago
people will judge her anyways... but I love her attempt to show her side of the story, because at least to a certain extend "for the record" is HER side of the story... I just hope the best for her... as strange as it is to be so obsessed with a person u don't REALLY know... I Just want her to be happy... if she's happy I'm happy... but it's great to see she has fans like u r... kind of realistic about her and her situation but still rooting for her... love that... keep doind what u do guys...
