Last night was the premiere of Britney Spear's MTV doc called, "For The Record" Don't worry I watched it for you so you didn't have to. This doc was based on what her life has been like since she appeared at the MTV VMA's this past year. The doc itself in terms of shots and feelings it captures of her I thought reflected a different light than the high flashing lights that target her face in tabloids on the regular basis and make her look HORRIBLE. In the mind-set and season of "giving" I actually found myself feeling really badly for her. Not in that crazy way like that guy on YouTube who was crying about people bugging Britney Spears and all that jazz of psycho-ness, but in that, "she's just like every other clueless Southern girl I've met before in my life" kind of way. She admitted that her choices in who she trusted and hung out with were not the best for her OR her kids; she also discribed her life similar to Ground Hog day as in, waking up and feeling and seeing the world as a strange and scary place.
She wants to TRUST others in an UN-trusting kind of world. Everyone is suspect, and if you're a celebrity you get to live in a bubble because the photographers are HANDS DOWN CRAZY. To see them fighting eachother because they need to get that "ONE SHOT" that nobody else will get and they will be able to live off of it for the next 7 months simply AMAZES me. It's no different than seeing third world countries that fight for their food when the food supply that is donated gets dropped off in the sky. The way they scurry in between cracks of the streets and seep through the walls is truly a scavenger style life they choose to live. It really made me think to myself, "why is fame the way it is?" I don't believe that it has so much to do with the person as much as what they may represent. Which is simply based on ATTENTION....something all humans need in order to feel like they have meaning here. Everyone wants attention. Nobody in the world wants to feel like nobodies looking at them 24/7, the ones that DON'T are usually feeling that way because some sort of abuse took place in their lives which is understandable....Britney said while being interviewed that she didn't like to use the term "victim" when describing her in tabloids etc. Nobody wants to show weakness when they've got a spotlight projected onto them. Who would???
So my question is...why is everyone so pressed for Britney Spears??? Is it because she reps what society WISHES they could have? To me, she seems like that friend you might have (or have heard of), that you saw in ONE extreme and all you were doing was hoping that they would come back to who they were and stop being something that they're not. I think that she HAS gone through enough sh** in her life to make her finally realize the choices she's made HAVE a consiquence, I also know that she's NOT in much control of it because she doesn't shout out loud enough to have it. She needs to be a more demanding person like Madonna or something. THEN and only then, will she stop living in this bubble and make the bubble her BITCH.
WORD Britney, let me be your life coach mama...I will switch up the gears and put your mind back into the place that it should have been in, in the first place.
