Me and Britney
As I was growing up, my idea of good singers were Barbra Streisand and Kuh Ledesma. When I went to college I sort of leaned to jazz music hence bought the cassette tapes of Manhattan transfer and Seawind. Believe me I bought every single tape they released. Knowing that the lead singer of seawind was a filipino, made me like the group even more.
Years went by and I was a witness to a lot of artists’ rise and fall. One more talented than the preceding batch. Artists are getting younger and younger. I guess it really does prove that the raise is indeed improving. And we should anticipate 4 year old artist being released. Wow!!! That would be the day. Why not? There are 12 year old college graduates being produced in this century. The idea of having a real young talented artist coming up is not that impossible.
5 years ago, there came Britney. I can still remember my seeing her first video. I knew she would be a big star. She had something in her that I knew would make her one. So even if personally I know for a fact that Christina Aguillera is a much better singer than Britney. My collection of Britney’s cd is more complete than that of Christina’s.
Now, she may not have any singles out but she’s still the headliner that she was. Her antics just makes me smile. From french kissing Madonna to showing her private parts. She’s really different. Guts!! That’s what she has. She knows how to stay in the game even when her artistic juices are running dry.
Go Britney, some people still love you. And I’m not shy to publish that I’m one of them. haha Funny me, I grew up listening to great singers yet now I admire performers who barely know how to sing. Namely Madonna and Britney. I really do love them.
