( a blog tribute to the star that was...Britney Spears)
okay, okay...
i make it sound like she died or something.but the truth is, when someone who's as famous as her experiences the "dying fame limbo", she's as good as a dead carcass anyway.
right?
so anyway, let me begin this eulogy for her, who was once my idol.:)
...
growing up, i was the BIGGEST britney fan EVER.
(i swear to god, i really was.and now, looking back on how mediocre i seemed to be, i feel soo embarrased about myself. )
i have ALL her albums, i have ALL possible magazines and tabloids that contained her, i saw ALL her concerts (though not live) and i watched her grab the trophies that all award giving bodies ever gave out during the time she was still the "it" girl of our generation.
in short, i worshipped the ground she stepped on, which, i think, most of the female teenage population did as well.
when britney was starting out, she was barely 18.she was young, carefree and innocent. she was surrounded by all these people who adored her and showered her with things that most girls her level usually get at an older age.
imagine having a triple platinum label in your name at age, what? 19?
it was, if truth be told, virtually impossible to achieve whatever she has acquired at such a tender age. and no one has been born yet that can topple over her reigning glory.
so, okay, a multi-million dollar insurance to your name, a spot in the hollywood walk of fame and millions of screaming fans all over the world isn't all that, is it?
not when controversies seem to surround you everywhere you go.
britney, although she was the goddess of all teen popstars a few years ago, she was forever condemened and followed around by paparazzis everywhere she went. she was called various names and attached to all sorts of controveries that practically ruined her ego.
there was the issue with justin timberlake, the movie "crossroads" (which, according to most people, was a major major flop), the said rivalry between her and christina aguilera, and the list just goes on and on...
but the most hurtful gossip of all would have been the issue with her mom, who was reportedly said to have been using her own daughter to pay off their family debts and who was just using the fame and glory to benefit her own selfish desires.
ever wonder how britney underwent the painful transition of a teeny bopper-ish young girl into a full time slut material?
it was said that her own mom somehow coerced her to change her image from time to time in order to "serve" the changing needs of the demanding industry that she was a part of.
yep.this is true.
her mom was behind the skimpy tops and barely there outfits.
this was much to the disapproval of britney, ofcourse, who was more apt about doing what she loved best, which was performing.
fast forward to a few years...
and then came kevin federline...
who was the man that everyone thought would be with her forever...
after her painful break up with justin...kevin was the last person that she needed in her jumbled web of confusion and agony.
i won't go into detail about what happened in her life during these hard years since much has already been said about it.
it's too painful to describe it anyway.
...
so now we all gather here to commemorate the life of britney jean spears...
a life that was probably lived in joy (at most times).
a satisfactory performer, a controversial diva, but nonetheless a good person at heart.
she doesn't deserve to go where the roads of fame lead her.she doesn't deserve to be criticized as well...
but then again, that's what showbusiness is all about anyway, right?
the glitz, the glamour and the fame are all but temporary...
in the end, we'll all go to that one place where serenity awaits to embrace us all.
goodbye britney, you live in the hearts of those who loved you...
