Oh That Britney
Call me "ahead of the curve", but I really like how Britney Spears' act is evolving. I mean, let's face it - you can only take that slick polished routine so far before your fans notice something amiss: "Hey... Britney didn't do that two-way head shake after the third "Whoops, I did it again" this time!"
But this stuff, man - it's really different. I mean, "take that", Christina. Haha! And Madonna couldn't pull off an act like Britney's if you paid her double time and a half.
That's because Madonna's a perfectionist. Sure, she CALLS herself an artist, but she's not - she's just a perfectionist.
Britney's an artist. And she doesn't need to cut off her right ear (left ear?) to prove it. She's Modern Art in the Flesh. Admit it. Her performance was riveting. You couldn't take your eyes off her. And you thought about what she was trying to tell us, whether it was, "I'm having a nervous breakdown", "This is how I really feel about show business", or "I shouldn't have taken those drugs before the performance". Then you took it from there to wonder, "What does Britney's performance (art) say about life?"
Well, SooeySays - a mouthful. It's all there. She's living breathing art. Right now. Britney - "America on Stage". I mean, sure she's over or will be over soon. Or she'll go into rehab and get in shape and go back to doing her routine. But that will only increase the value of this performance as true, blue American art:
