I thought Katie meant during her breakdown.

True. Outside the fans, no one was rooting for Britney until she came back with Womanizer. If she didn't come back -- everyone would have just sat back and watch her die like Amy.

Even when she got engaged, every comment was "hope she gets a happy ending" or "she deserves this" and so on.

Right?! In comparison to 2007 where the majority would wish she'd go away or die. Remember the "predict when will Britney Spears die" websites? It kinda makes you think why we're discussing the general public's opinion at large when a couple of magazine covers can change their perception of a celebrity.

I mean once she was getting back up. As in, from Womanizer forward.

I didn't think I needed to clarify when it happened. I mean, you people were alive at the time, weren't you?

I already said the GP "connects" with her more, so that's not in dispute from me, but I don't know any girl who'd willingly admit to emulating Britney these days, nor really any guy who has her on their celebrity to-do list. It's not 2004 anymore.

Men's Magazine just named Britney one of their hottest chicks and many of the women on X-Factor US noted Britney as their inspiration numerous times.

Another thing -- y'all have to realize that to many in the GP.......Britney can still dance, sing, etc....not everyone over-analyzes her **** like we do.

Not by the general public, Nina. For some people, yes. But for the most part the masses was rooting for her to get better. The media always tear celebrities down when they're at their lowest. They did the same **** to Michael.

Britney's been on too many hot lists post-breakdown for that lie to stand.

And there are plenty of women who still want to be like Britney most of these girls coming out now have admitted to being influenced by her...

Exactly. Her breakdown actually helped people find more similarities with her, making her even more relatable. The press, the media, the audience, they never lose interest in her personal or public life; she always has them wanting more. She ends up on a magazine cover when she goes for a Starbucks run in her sweats, for God's sake.

Exactly. Especially now when the 90s/80s babies are starting to break into the entertainment field and they grew up on Britney -- Adele, Lana del Ray -- deep, respected artists that LOVE Britney

To most in the general public Britney could never sing and was a guilty pleasure at best.

Before I joined Exhale and ATRL...I thought Britney was dancing the same in Circus as she was in IAS4U.

Really?
A good portion of the GP thinks Britney isn't capable of singing,
just because she has lip synced a bit.
It may not be true, but hey.

People connect with Gaga more than Britney nowadays because:

Judging by these songs' sales, it's safe to say that people don't relate to them at all.

It also hit #1 in two more countries and has sold well over 3 million worldwide, and it would have sold more if it were actually promoted. She performed it for the first time almost three months after its release and the video didn't help since it was released after more than a month.

The flute-led 'Criminal' was released for the fans who wanted a ballad, and she decided to take a risk and release it. It wasn't promoted at all in addition to being supported by a flagged, censored video, which was an iTunes exclusive for the first five days or release, and was later instantly blocked following its upload on YouTube. Even the idiots from the British Parliament have criticized her for promoting gun violence and glamorizing gangs. She never even performed the track.

Y'all know what the **** I'm tryna say -- stop bringing up my singing point...I'm talking along the lines of autotune, etc....

Britney is like our generation's Madonna in the sense that we grew up "with" her over the years and saw the evolution of Britney Spears since her debut to where she is now.

I'm talking about real life, not PR-driven magazine lists. The only current popstar I hear guys talk about wanting to bang is Katy.
