Britney's Team Is Doing A Terrible Job At Preserving Her Legacy

[confidentnotcocky]

Which one is this? That's good to hear, I guess

I rarely see Britney ranked high even on 00s countdowns (Beyoncé is a favorite), though, when we've lived through it and we all know who owned that decade.

She could've been more respected and legendary if she went full force again post-breakdown. But that's what makes it even more real and should give fans a healthy dose of reality. Some people never recover from it. They may be happy, but I think we need to accept Britney Spears, the performer and musician from her prime, is never coming back.

 

Well it was a UK one. Beyonce pays for everything don't worry about that. She knows what's up, that's why she lached on to Britney's award to announce her pregancy.   Brit and Eminem owned that decade, the sales prove it, Bey wasn't in the top 10, even Avril was there.

She could have gone full force or just put out some statement that said why she couldn't dance like before, it's that simple. She could have led with more meaningful well produced songs with ambiguous lyrics that could have alluded to the breakdown even if it had nothing to do with it. They missed the ball, or just waited for her to recover properly. People can accept the old Britney is gone but people just don't understand what's going on, and that leads to ridicule, oh and it sells papers.

I mean her dancing. Sorry I didn't clarify. Btw this is what I read from a doctor's opinion I don't remember exactly where. 

Oh ok! Sorry I jumped to conclusions there.

[killthelights]

Oh ok! Sorry I jumped to conclusions there.

No problem. I always think what I write is legible and clear and then I read it back and I'm like "no one is gonna understand wtf I was trying to say"

Britney needs a complete overhaul of her team tbh. Like in 2007, but need need good people to come in

To be honest. I think she should have gone to a new record label, too. I hope and pray album 9 comes out as what she wants rather than what only the label wants. If she makes something she can be passionate about, maybe she'll regain the drive to actually promote it, perform well, and sing live.

[Captain Morgan]

I think the damage is already done and nothing can undo it at this point. And they know that.

[toxicxxkat]

i think cuz there's more variety now of female celebrities and most of them sing live

 

i see both sides of the comments and i agree with everything to an extent. You can tell the difference with these 2 videos

 

 

 

 

Then again, she was 17 in the first one and 32 in the other. That's almost half the lifetime with a lot of stuff going in. She longs for the retired life, and I think she should have it. It doesn't matter what the fans think for that because everyone has their own life to live as she does

Tbh I don't think she wants to retire. Britney's contract was up after BJ and she could have gone and hid away for the rest of her life and not record a single song ever again. She renewed her contract. Her team doesn't make her do that - they have a lot of control over her career, but not that. She's got enough money that no C-ship or anything could have coaxed her into that, in fact if she did want to I'm sure the judge woulda ruled in her favor C-ship wise if it did have any at all. That's something SHE wanted to do. SHE chose to continue on with her career, nobody else. And that's why I cannot wrap my head around everyone blaming her like crazy. She obviously loves what she does and if she didn't she would have quit by now. And like I said earlier, clearly her label made her put out an album she didn't want to and she clearly had other things in mind. She knew that album was shit for her standards and had her hands tied about it. So she's being forced to perform songs she probably doesn't even like or want to perform on stage and that's probably why there's limited effort. Maybe she's even embarrassed to perform them even. Like if you compare the Intimate Collection that to BJ album you could really tell which one was hands-on and which one she wanted to do and that's why they need to let her have the reins and do what she wants because if she puts out an album she wants with songs she enjoys, guaranteed she'll actually want to perform it and show it off because she's proud of it and will be more enthusiastic.

Her team needs to sit down and talk with some fans and seriously take what we think into consideration at the very least, not just read websites and brush what people say off, which it seems like what happened with the Blackout 2.0 thing and then Britney Jean being personal. If they even just took half an hour out of their day and even come onto Galaxy and see what we say and are criticizing her or want more from her or whatever and talked to Britney about it I bet the whole game would change.

Or they should really just hire someone who's professional and could work with Britney but someone who has also been a fan of hers for a long time to tell Britney or give some insight.

[Karmen]

Every generation has their own legend that is lost in the "time". New ones comes and goes. It goes with everything. Isn't it more important what you remember, feel and appreciate than what the "public" does? 

[peterpaul&mary]

I kind of find it refreshing that britney isn't really focused on being the center of attention and not constantly trying to sell herself to the public like Beyoncé, Taylor, Katy Perry, etc. she's still a MAJOR name in the business. I do wish she put a lot more effort into her work, not necessarily the promotional aspect of it, but just her live shows and creating better quality music. I think she enjoys working, but she definitley does not have the same drive and passion like she used to.

[killthelights]

The music and material she puts out today is only driving away interest. Young people will see a recent video of her dancing and wonder why people pay to see her in Las Vegas, and what the big whoop is without thinking about what she did earlier in her career that caused an impact.

I was listening to Pop2k radio on XM yesterday for over an hour and when slave came on it just dominates all the other music that was coming out during that time and still does. Her old music is not being properly recognized and people just look at her newer material like "what's so special about that" which is the main problem. Someone let this girl have some control over herself PLEASE

[M90]

I do understand and Britney is very much to blame, too. But if you look through history, there are figures who have had short peaks and declines as well.

Do people remember Elvis for his decline? Him getting fat in Vegas? They remember him at his BEST and that has to do with how his estate is managed.

But with Britney, her breakdown is still so highlighted and emphasized.

The dancing thing is a different issue for another thread.

I agree with you on the Elvis thing, but you have to remember Elvis didn't dance like Britney.  But Britney isn't doing anything to make a genuine comeback. The lower her performances are, the more people are going to remember and keep bringing up her 2007 era.

You know what, I have never watched the FFT fully or listened to the album fully. The album was autotuned to death that when I first listened to it, I couldn't believe it was a Britney spears album. I couldn't recognize her voice, the voice that made me feel something. (Think BTMYH). As for the tour, I just skimmed through the it ONCE and frankly.. I never wanna do that EVER again. The reason I skimmed through it was because I couldn't finish every song. It was just so.. damn.. BORING!

I couldn't even BELIEVE that this is the Britney Spears I fell in love with. I know POM is an improvement but to be honest. After The onyx hotel tour, Britney declined A LOT! Now we praise The Circus tour but even THAT was terrible. The only truly good segment was the Piece of Me section.

In the FFT, How could she allow herself to go on tour with that awful makeup, outfits and above that.. not dance? You know, a few days ago, I watched Britney's first tour (BOMT) and I wanted to scream! How did Britney go from having killer choreography to nothing. Even the dance segments on POM are being removed.

I don't care about sales , never did. I care about the quality. I'm glad Britney is improving in Vegas but come on! We've given Britney so mant chances when it comes to her dancing!

[Joanhs]

Anyway, I think her biggest enemies are her fans.. I go to many parties where people just play a LOT of britney because they just listen to the songs.. They don't care about courthouse drama, which boyfriend she's got, what her body looks like, or how she performs. Nobody cares how gaga or rihanna performs around here, and not britney too. So when I sit and get anxiety over "ooh I wonder how people are gonna take it's playing work bitch" I just see my friends shaking it and having a good time. many people think Britney Jean is the best music from her EVER!! Because it's great timing, people wanted that kind of music here. As a fan, I don't like it because it doesn't sound like Britney, it could be anybody, but the GP thinks it's britney and that is fine. Sometimes we should stop harrasing this grown up adult WOMAN, and look at our own pathetic 26-year old life, and ask ourself what we would do.

Same here. I have not ever watched Femme Fatale in full, only a couple of songs. I find POM to be rather boring as well, which is why I watch only certain songs from start to finish. Like Britney once said herself, "There's no passion" in what she has been doing. It's all...meh.

You're so damn true

I was doing a Britney quiz the other day and the questions were about the song Stronger. Somebody commented "You should have made the quiz about something else not this random unknown song". That to me spoke volumes on her image to kids/teens nowadays. They don't have the slightest clue about her legacy pre-break down.  

[MadDennis]

Imagine one day, someone playing BOMT and people being like idk her

Whereas Thriller and Like A Virgin existed and people are still familiar with it.

Ikr? Here in Greece her most famous song of Brit is Oops and one day a friend told me that she heard a familiar song with Oops and I said "is it BOMT"? That's so ridiculous 

[yessy09]

Britney will be remembered like others legends that has been through the tragedy because this is a vicious circle maybe we do not see it now because we are angry with the indifference of her team and even with britney but remember the last days of Elvis or Michael that michael was international joke most of his colleagues left him alone, they made fun on him in awards and all the headlines around him was negative all his music talent went a second plane, marilyn by the general people was the biggest whore untalented of hollywood at that time and today is the most remembered American female of the history with britney will happen the same when she die the media will not only talk about her breakdown people will speak of the impact of Baby one More time enlist her classic performances on MTV, reminisce her best moments, they will talk about her records how blackout was innovative and obvious her breakdown the media will kiss her ass including the same persons that has been shades on her this will happen because she like it or not britney is one the most influence artists of her generation the most of the artists of the new generation have mentioned her as influence the problem is the aura of negativity that was created around her and ass will be kiss again because the industry is nothing more than a business , madonna is another theme because her intelligence has surpassed her other colleagues in the field of strategy. I agreed on her team also dont make things that should make to preserve her legacy, the industry is a mafia and everything can be handled for when there are negative notes about beyonce or video where she did lip  syn is immediately dropped from the network and the notes about it were muted or only were on Cheap sites while on britney when was filtered the audio of alien her team did nothing  allowed the note in everywhere even in respectable sources including BBC CNN etc; this only helps more damaging her image, they could also make her breakdown is not the first reference, that is manageable also one of her biggest problem is that she does not have the hype of other of her contemporaries (work of her team) and when you have a news on her  in media there is always a negative aura around her

Well I think it's pretty obvious she's been medicated. It's pretty impossible for her to be such a great dancer then lost it almost completely.

 

I liked Britney's Circus Tour attitude, but she DID NOT dance well there

 

Anyway, I doubt the Danceney from her prime is ever coming back so I'd say she has to offer us something else that is new, instead of being a lesser version of her older self, which she really isn't anymore.

[Babydoll]

Because I'm a fan? I want to see her get success. Would we rather she end up like Janet Jackson, who has had enormous impact on the industry, but relatively forgotten now?

No, we want her to be remembered like MJ, Madonna, Celine.

[britneystanstan]

Well to be fair, they sound like the same song

Stronger isn't that remembered outside of the fanbase, sadly. Maybe Lucky would've been a better choice even?

[Babydoll]

I guess that if we know Godney is not having enough promo...

We have to talk about her, lets promote Britney ourselves, listening to her music, sharing her performances to the people we know, talking about the legend she is :cutelaugh:

[britneystanstan]

Her team needs to pay for a special one-time TRL event to commemorate Britney's music videos, and make it a big event for when her next album drops.

 

But, we know they will have her featured in an irrelevant local Vegas magazine instead :shockney:

[MadDennis]

Well to be fair, they sound like the same song

True, but BOMT is way more epic than Oops
