Britney Spears performance shows her life is our own



Yeah I missed the VMAs 2007, busy having a life, but I wasn't about to not search up Britney Spears comeback. Although in the end, I realized that she was the only one busy having a life, and I should have took my time out and just watched what she was giving. My review of the performance of "Gimme More":



Which I indeed throughly enjoyed, she looked hot, but perhaps a little pudgy. The song was jumping, she lacked dance skills, but as the song states, she's the "center of attention". I forgot how tired I was by the music out there and their lack of visual stimulus, I watch her and Beyonce, and I feel like I have been transferred into this fantasy world that doesn't exist. Lately, Beyonce has been losing whatever quality that kept me interested before, but Britney intrigues the world somehow. I'd seriously like to realize why, and I certainly have all sorts of theories, but in the end she just reminds me of myself. I wonder if that's the attraction other people have towards her.

This beautiful tragic version of my own inadequacies, I grew up with the song, "I'm a Slave 4 U", thinking of my high school crush. "I'm not a girl, Not yet a woman" was the song that described the feelings of going from high school to college. "Sometimes" captured the usual bi-polar-ness that every high school girl seems to suffer from, hormones going wild, making the rules of the world suddenly all seem under investigation.

"Gimme More" catches onto the early twenties woman part of me, who just wants the attention and more of the wildness of youth. I'm going to download the song today, I might even buy it, and I'm going to put it on my mp3 player, and atleast pretend I'm allowed to have more. Although Britney and I finally diverged paths, she never grew up and I, and probably most of her fans have became real young adults, I can't help but think that I'd liked to have some of the more, she exclaims in her latest single.
