Blog CemeteryThe Power of the Media: Britney's Comeback
November 30th 2006 03:36
I have kept my mouth shut about the breakup and Britney's 'new old look'. I have kept my mouth shut about K-Fed and all the unfortunate child abuse-ish events. I have shut up about hair extensions and black roots, and white trashiness. Mainly, because if I say something about Br*tney S*ears, google jumps all over it and plasters her shit all over my site, which I cannot stand. I don't want to give her any type of notice all on this site.
However, enough is enough. This girl has been absolutely crucified in the press for the last two years. She gained weight, lost it, gained weight...wait...no...oh that's right, she was too dumb to read the instructions on the spermicide and used it in her mouth instead. I digress...
My point is that she has been blasted, she fell from grace, she has been the butt of more jokes than well...a dumb blonde...guess she was a twofer, huh?
This is what pisses me off.
We all know these things. We know she is a liar, a horrible singer, a dumbass, and obviously suffers from massive self-esteem issues from posts like this one...(ha)
So, what happens?
The media. That's what happens. We loved her at first because the media did...she was plastered all over the place, so we loved her after some not so subtle brainwashing of radio and magazines...as a result, her sales went through the roof...and Britney was a massive hit.
She grows up, (physically, I'm saying, and no, I am not referring to THOSE), she gets married and really lets her true self shine. The media hated her for it. They lost sales, their darling was suddenly trashy. Well, not suddenly...but you know what I mean and the trashiness had a name...K-Fed.
So, gone went the looks, out came the babies, and Britney was dangerously close to being a Jerry Springer Special.
We hated her. All was right with the world. We labeled her a nontalent. Yes. The public had taste again. NOW look what's happened!
She files for divorce, lost a bit of weight and all of a sudden, in a two week span, mass media is starving to get 'it' back...the Britney they made sooooo much money off of. So, out comes the mass media plan to get Britney back in our good graces.
She cuts her hair and wears sexy clothes again. She is blonde again. She is tanned again. She has been out every night with who else? Paris. Suddenly, there are magazine articles talking about how intelligent she is, what a business sense that she had that prenup. Like she even read it! She signed on the damn line with what I am guessing was an X or close to it.
Come on, people. She sucks. She will always suck. But it isn't even that she is getting some positive press that really irritates me. It's that people fall for it without question. Does it not strike you odd that two weeks ago, you laughed at that joke someone told about her and today you are admiring her haircut? You are nodding affirmatively that she is going to make a comeback?
Here is the last thing I am going to say -(almost)...question everything...accept nothing that doesn't make sense. Britney's miracle two week comeback, doesn't make sense.
This sort of thing drives me absolutely crazy. (Can you tell, because I am going for subtle here.)
There are so many brilliant artists out there who can't get the time of day but Britney can. WHY? There is no talent there, folks. NONE. She has a brilliant publicist. There is the talent. Britney doesn't even know what key she sings in. She doesn't. My hand to God, I heard her say that in an interview.
Okay, people. Here is your chance. This time and this time ONLY, if you have something to say about Spears, say it. If it's good, I will have to deal with it. I just need to know...WHY? Why do we -(you)-like her? Why is she making a comeback? Is she talented? Is she an artist. (ok I am going to be honest here...if anyone says she is an artist, I will delete your comment. Well, no I won't but I will cry a little.)
