I ditto this. Like I said in another thread, I think it's so weird that people get annoyed with Britney for having no singing talent. Has she ever claimed to have singing talent? In every interview I've seen with her, she hasn't referred to herself as a "musician," but as a performer, which she definitely is. If you don't like her music, that's fine -- but why get annoyed with her because she's not Whitney Houston? There's only room for so many Whitneys in the music business. Britney sets out to make catchy, fun "bland booty shaking music" and she does it well. What's wrong with that?
Also, the reason why I think that a lot of Britney fans get offended when you dis her is because one of the biggest reasons that they like her is because they identify with her in some way. Thus when you dis Britney, they feel attacked.
Kind of like when I loved Cara from Real World: Chicago because I felt like she was the made-for-TV version of me (well, except for the whole Jewish part), and everybody else referred to her as an anorexic skank with too many issues.

What a good post sugar and spice!!!! I think you're right, you cant' get annoyed with her b/c she doesn't sing like Whitney - she never claimed she could.
I dont' know that I identify with her. Honestly, when she first came out I hated her. But I like that she works hard, she's my age, she has real life problems - not everything is perfect in her life, she tries really hard not to care about what the critics say - but what a fan says means a whole lot more, she's bold and she doesn't care if you think she shouldn't wear this or that or show this and that, she goes out places all the time w/out makeup, .......ok, I could list a 1,000 reasons.
And when people attack that it does get on my nerves. B/c a lot of my friends here at school attack her for stupid reasons. Like people get mad at her for things they do all the time.
