Britney is sexy and beautiful! Like Madonna, she knows the business, and how to sell herself. that’s what it’s all about. She may not have the most powerful voice, but she does have a good one…It’s business!
If you got it, and you don’t mind, flaunt it! If I had a body like that, I would show a little too…
There are some pics at http://www.britneyspears.org/pictures/ama2001/
I have no problem with singers like Madonna, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Lil Kim, etc who want to boost their popularity by emphasizing their sex appeal. What I dislike is Britney Spears’ hypocrisy in wanting in both ways; dressing like a pedophile’s sex fantasy to make her millions while simultaneously claiming to be upset with anyone who shows a prurient interest.
Oh, I don’t know. I think she should take off her top all together and let me see her breasts; I could tell you in about ten seconds if they were real or not… five seconds if she’d let me cop a feel. 
Okay, that’s sick. At least I never claimed that I was a virgin. Or had taste. Or class!
And Little Nemo, that was an excellent post. I agree! If you are going to do that at least be real about it. If I pranced around in little outfits like that and got looked at I sure as shit wouldn’t bitch about it… hell, I’d celebrate it! And laugh my pretty little ass of all the way to the bank!
Christina has voice.
I don’t blame her for the vocal gymnastics that Mariah was infamous for early in her career, she’s trying to prove that she’s more than a body. Give her a few years and she’ll mellow out and do great (poppy, top 40) shit.
Britney has body.
Just as Madonna rocked the world in 85 by making it known that she was a sexual being and pushing the envelope, Britney is rocking the world in 01 by being contrary. Flaunting her virginity in an age of decadence. Just like Madonna, I believe her greatest talent lies in self-promotion. Let’s just see if she has the reinvention thing down or she fizzles.
I respect them both for different things, despite the crappy music. Criminy, how many of us were world famous at 18?
Now L’il Kim, THAT woman is a fucking disgrace to humanity!
Was it me or did some of those pics just scream, “Pam and Tommy Lee Home Movies!” Three years from now, every weinie with RealVideo will own the “Britney and Justin Home Porn.” Of course, I doubt Mr. High-Pitched Squeal will, um, measure up to Rock God Tommy Lee.
I’m just glad to see she’s fully embraced her inner stripper. Next year’s AMAs, I just know she’ll work that pole routine she’s been praticing like it ain’t no thang. That’s what we all use her music for anyway, right?
Right?
Actually, there’s a less entertaining but visually just as amusing way to find this out. On one of the daytime talk shows a while back (I was getting ready for work, not watching…exactly), they had the Year’s Ten Most Outrageous Guests. One was this trucker-looking kind of guy whose best friend bet him something like $75,000 that he wouldn’t get breast implants and wear them for a year. Friend lost the 75 grand, but the guy with the implants showed how you could detect fakes. He had them darken the studio, and put flashlights up against his chest and turned them on. Implants light up! He had some really cool strobing going on. The audience was in hysterics. If it’s Brit, though, I’m with you on the feel technique…
Dijon Warlock – and I thought MY post would be too much… thank you SO much for being weirder than I!
Dunno… Think we could get her to strobe her breasts? Seems as likely as her letting me cop a feel so what the hey! Nothing asked, nothing gained!
That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in a long time. 
The real question is, did you write “strobe” as a typo? Seems there ought to be a “k” in there somewhere…:eek: We’ll have to see if she has email…
From someone that recognizes Miss Spears’s wardrobe for what it is-or isn’t:

Mr. Blackwell’s #1.
As that is a subjective perspective, a cite would be nice to prove that either can sing.
On another note… why do people compare Britney and Christina? Because they are both scantily clad fetuses who shake their asses to bad aerobics music?
gotta jump in here as a hetero male: I don’t give a shit what B.S. and C.A. sound like!! Looking at them is enough to make bits of me happy!
But I agree, B.S.'s whole slut/virgin routine is enough to make me want to slap her and send her to bed with no dinner… (no, I am NOT going to add that I might be tempted to join her there!) (damn! I did it anyhow!)
Since we’re busily trashing female singers, my 2.5 cents:
Christina’s probably a better singer but I hate her music. And she’s even more annoying in interviews than Britney.
Britney’s a better showperson, and that song she keeps releasing is kind of catchy (what do you mean it’s not the same song over and over again? Are you sure?). But yes, the vestal virgin routine’s wearing a bit thin these days.
Mariah used to be a good singer but her current act seems to consist entirely of “Hey! Look at my new tits!” (see: anything she’s done since Heartbreaker, including both HB videos).
Jennifer Lopez – don’t get me started. Really irritating; plus she obviously hasn’t thought through her desired nickname of “J Lo” (as in “pudding pops?”).
Madonna: I’m not overly fond of her current incarnation (although I bought the “Ray of Light” CD) but you have to respect someone who can constantly reinvent themselves and still remain popular. Now if only we could keep her out of the movies…
Bjork: <swoon>
Oh, sorry – what was I saying?
So she is dressing slutty to become more famous.
Its a shame that women have to do this in the music biz.
Well, some of them, anyway.
But I see no conflict with her dressing slutty and being a virgin.
Aren’t young women allowed to dress anyway they want without it being a signal to say “I am a slut, come on to me”?
I could only wish.
I said, “Christina Aguilera may be trashy too, but at least she can sing.”
HASTUR says:
Oh, for fuck’s sake. :rolleyes:
From wallofsound.com – “For Aguilera, there’s no need for a skilled publicist — her amazingly mature voice is one of the finest pop-soul instruments to come along since the auspicious debuts of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.”
From checkout.com – “Cute-as-a-button Aguilera manages to distance herself from her teen-pop competitors on two levels. First of all, she does a better job of choosing her tunes. . . .Which brings us to Aguilera’s other shining advantage – her huge, rangy, and often quite affecting, voice.”
From eonline.com – “Britney who? Another former Mouseketeer gone solo, [Aguilera]the next teen pop goddess packs enough sexy punch in her debut to start even the little ones dreaming of first love. . . . “What a Girl Wants” is the best song next to “Genie,” showing off her Mariah-esque pipes and knack for wringing emotion out of the melody.”
From wallofsound.com – “The rule is that Oops! does succeed in making Spears sound sexier and meatier — and not that innocent — as its team of top-shelf producers . . . supports her adenoidal vocals and breathy hiccups with bottom-heavy arrangements that provide a bit more thrust and pump to the proceedings. . . . Ultimately, Spears remains more act than artist, and Oops! makes no mistake in its direct aim to hit the Top 40 bull’s-eye — one more time.”
From cdnow – “Just because the Britney Spears Empire was not built on actual artistic merit doesn’t mean the singer can’t craft – or have crafted for her – a snappy and utterly enjoyable pop record.”
And Virgin Records judges her vocals “charmingly wonky.”
M’kay?
Once more, with feeling: Having the chops to sing well – range, control, depth, etc. – is an objective assessment. Whether a person likes how someone sings (or what they sing) is an objective assessment. The general consensus is that Miss Christina can really sing well and Miss Britney really cannot. If you want any further information, I suggest you look it up yourself, since I’ve done all the web searching on these two bubble-gum princesses that I ever intend to.
That should be “Whether a person likes how someone sings (or what they sing) is a subjective assessment.”
Britney is building a career basically out of being the quintessential cock-tease. Her “Look all you want, but I’m a good girl who doesn’t do those sorts of things,” persona puts her in the “Lolita” mode. She is a very sexy girl, and she flaunts big time, but I can’t really fault her for it, given her mediocre singing talents. When confronted with the musical tastes of my young children, at least Britney gives me one thing to appreciate, unlike the N’Sync/Backstreet Boys/Aaron Carter selections. Her music, while being complete fluff, is not nearly as annoying as Christina’s is.
Wrong. And it doesn’t answer the question or provide a cite.
But, with your head full of shallow bubblegum pop, is that really such a surprise?
D D G
You really don’t want to know what you just said to UK Dopers!!!
Subjective opinion here.
I like Britney better; she’s seems less slutty than C.A. and I don’t mind her voice - she’s fine.
I think C.A. is a better singer but I wish she’d just freakin’ sing instead of that godawful warbling let-me-show-off-my-pipes crap she does. Yes, dear, we know you have a good voice, just stop with all the hoopdedoo all ready!
Actually, I do want to know! Tell me, tell me!
