Britney isn't basic. She just doesn't give a **** what you think.
Relationship with Jason Trawick? Basic. Past flings with K-Fed, and J. Timberlake? Iconic.
A breakdown for the ages? Fierce.
Live performances? Sometimes it looks like my grandfather during a colon cleansing...other times, there are flashes of hope.
Britney's style? Basic...but with charm. Who else could wear ugg boots, cowboy hats + sweatpants combo, and be deemed: "Oh, that's just Britney being Britney."
What she gains in being basic...she makes up for with the X Factor. Basic? Definitely more than 8 years ago....but more basic than the likes of Katy, K$, Keri and more? Hell no.
