Hit Us Britney, One More Time!

Ever since "Baby, One more time," Britney Spears has lived her life in the spotlight of the media. We have watched the small town girl from Louisiana transform into America's hottest sex symbol and sell more records than any female artist of her time. As quickly as we saw her rise to the top of pop stardom we have also watched her tragic downfall. From the birth of her two sons and a failed marriage to the notorious head shaving incident, society has become transfixed on America's former sweetheart. While many people are quick to criticize Spears and chastise her actions -- these are the same people who follow her every move. Almost every magazine has Britney splashed across the cover and online media sources keep a 24 hour watch on the pop starlet. But what makes Britney different than media whores, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan? For some reason, people are rooting for my girl, Brit. As much as she is scrutinized in the public, it seems there’s some sort of sadness and vulnerability that keeps America’s eyes peeled to their magazines and computer screens hoping that Britney will give it to us “one more time.”
