Britney Spears bombarded the minds of many young girls with her big break in 1998. Maybe not all young girls, but definitely mine. There I was, and eight year old Britney Spears wannabe. The name Britney Spears is one of the first names that pops into my mind when i think back on my childhood. I admit it, i was obsessed. I wanted to be her. My girlfriends and I would dress like her, try to act like her, sing like her..EVERYTHING! I believe that Britney Spears strongly influenced the lives of many of young girls world wide. When I first saw the music video of "Baby One More Time" I was amazed. She was my idol. The girl in the sassy short skirt, tied up shirt, and pigtails was the girl that me and my friends wanted to be. This is just a small example of how influencing Britney was on many girls' lives. Then she made another boom with "Oops, I Did It Again." Britney ruled the world of pop. As time passed, she started to break out of her shell and go towards a more sexy image. Many organizations claimed her to be sending out the wrong messages to young girls. But others say it is simply innocent fun. Was Britney helping to shape the world view of young children by giving an opportunity to talk about emotional and relational issues? Or driving young girls to go out into the world and act scandalously? What do you think?

I COMPLETELY AGREE HAHA...I was obsessed with Brittney too along with Insync!! I don't think she drove young girls to act scandously. She was doing what she wanted to do and no one can blame her for that. She was growing up and the world was just witnessing that. If anyone had a problem with it, they can deal with it themselves!
ReplyDeleteExactly, I am the biggest Britney fan and was back in the pre teen days and I turned out perfectly fine! I never ended up on the street corners of Bourbon.
ReplyDeleteI like Brittany spears I think she has a huge influence on young girls even today. My only thing with her is that makes me so angry is how commercialized she has become and is. I believe that she actually has a good vioce but you don't get to hear it because tries to do this overly sexy thing and now she's all digitized and what not. She can sing just doesn't. But I still like her. I think she can be a positive roll model for young girl as long as they are able to discern between what's really Brittany and what she does just for show and what takes it too far. Our youth are smart enough to figure that out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has a good voice. She tries way to hard to sound sexy!
ReplyDeleteyeah i believe she's more of a performer than a singer
