Britney Spears Was Our Idol Growing Up, But She Didn’t Grow With Us
I’ve spent a lot of time defending Britney as my pop music queen. I would find myself saying things like, “No one goes to a Britney Spears concert to see her sing live,” “She’s doing so much better now than she was in 2007” and “She needs to focus on her children.”
While all of these things are true, it’s not an excuse to produce crap and expect your audience to swoon over it.
For example, a major issue was the collaboration with Iggy Azalea on the song “Pretty Girls.” Not only could a simple Google search tell you the Internet hated Iggy at the time, but simply listening to the track once would have been enough to realize it was garbage.
