Britney Is Not Being Advertised/ Presented Properly?

[Nelli Gaidai]

i don't know if this is a time and age we live in nowadays that is to blame (this generation seems to focus on completely different things and takes their time for everything) but i really do not think britney has changed all that much since the younger years. what i did notice is how she is being presented nowadays.. there are soo much similarities back in the day (yes she had some EXTREMELY legendary slaying moments) but if you watch her from like 10 years ago and compare it to now, she really hasn't changed all that much.. for us fans, it's like a completely different experience tho- we keep thinking something is missing, something is not right and there is i agree- there's her style for example it changed, her persona did too, a few things like that but i think it just seems worse than it actually is.

 

the problem is actually in the way her team or the internet advertise her. i think it all happened because of the advancement in technology to be honest, compare to how everything was presented: all videos, all her commercials were carefully crafted- everything was done well, it was completely different and it was in a better light- a better perspective that fit brit perfectly. when tabloids started with all the unflattering images during the '07 they really put her under a bad light.. but every person has low moments. sometimes even the most perfect of us, fall short. so that wasn't fair. i think they made her lose her spark, lose herself.. 

 

the other day i was thinking about what if the same principles of promotion for example would apply to nowadays (like vegas for example), the commercials, the photoshoots, if they took a route similar to the way they did things back in 2003, the whole presenation would be so much more professional, it would make everything so much more fancy.. i just feel like britney isn't getting the best treatment- she deserves to be presented in a better light. u kno. 

 

in the older type of presentation, also, the focus was on costumes, the stage, (not being all up in her face).. it was about a cool story line- there was other people involved and funky characters we were introduced to (like the host in her onyx tour). i think nowadays everything is done so unprofessionallly. and speaking of professional, we don't even have professional pictures of all her events anymore.. i actually found some on one fansite gallery where they started making them of vegasney finally but how many years that took them?? i am pretty sure circus tour was the last time we had great shots of her on stage.. majority of vegasney were all fanmade pix, i find that to be totally ridiculous. that is not the way to present her. her team should be more professional- it makes it all so much more exciting and interesting for the fans. don't u think?

Things are not the same with artists thats are from the late 90's its not just Britney (Britney,Beyonce,Justin,Christina...etc) the spotlight mostly gets shined on these new generation of artists. Britney still has the same team from her prime years , why would they all of the sudden mess up? Imo its Vegas that kind of ruined it tbh

I don't even understand what you're trying to say with this topic tbh. Britney has changed drastically from when she first started. Her personality is the same, sure, just more "mature" but her work ethic is much different. Things will never be how they were in the past because Britney is not as career driven as she was. Which is ok, she's got a new focus now and that's her family. I do wish we had more professional pictures from Vegas though - because she looks and performs better than she has in years

i do agree with you that its a very good thing she puts family first, very mature and healthy of her, however with that, she decided to put her career last. Yes, Britney is a worldwide famous star, but in its core, her career is no different than anyone elses, we all have to vague job and family. Everyone is trying to balance those things out without excluding anything, while with her, she completely excluded her career , which is a huge mistake. She might not see it now but, if she keeps it up this way, I have a feeling she'll be very sorry in 5-10 years from now. She'll get her fire back and will want to get back in the business, but she wont be able to no matter how hard she tries.

And in all honesty, i believe her team really isn't the best (and RCA is also terrible ) tho they can't really do much either without Britney's motivation. She doesn't really care about her career anymore, that's a fact, and THAT is what reflects the most in her career now. 

The things we don't have is because of Britney not her team. Remember she has the same team as Miley, yet Miley has good promotion, exposure etc.. If Britney doesn't have all that, it's because of herself, certainly not her team since it works pretty well with other artists, it also worked great in the past for Britney when she still cared.

The difference between then and now is that she doesn't care now.

It's easy to say her team should do this, do that etc.. but if Britney is too lazy to do what they want, then we won't have anything. Seriously, she's the one that makes her team treats her like they treat her, if she would be more motivated and passionated like she used to be (or at least 50% of it), it would be much better. She doesn't care, so they don't either, end of story.

She hasn't completely excluded her career. If that was the case she wouldn't be making music, videos, perfumes, lingerie. She wouldn't be performing, going to events or anything. She HAS found a balance that works for her. Balance doesn't necessarily have to be 50/50. Balance is about what makes the individual happy, and Britney is very clearly happy with her life at the moment

what do u mean by the last sentence?? how will she not b able to? i mean she's one of the most famous stars.. the second she decides to do something, all companies welcome her. i hope u r wrong about that

im talking about the promotions: the photoshoots (concepts for example).. the way music videos are created..back in the 90s it was much more creative and interesting imo. the footage from like shows was different. they had the focus on the stage for instance and not just her face- the stages were always done nicely.. it just feels like they throw something together and just go with it nowadays.. u know?

Nah i definitely don't agree. Hold it against me is one of her most interesting and conceptually brilliant music videos. Her circus tour and Vegas shows are visually stunning. Some photo shoots have been basic but some photo shoots 2008 to now have been my favorite ones of her career.

what i miss about britney is her outfits... she was cool chick back then she really cared about herself and her clothes but now she just doesnt care what is she wearing or how she looks... its sad

i kno right! she had such a cute style. i don't get that either.. she always wore very particular pieces. very put together. i mean i think it took her a long time but she had such cute outfits. and i mean she still has the body to wear those, why not do it now too? it's rarer nowadays to see. she keeps it really simple now when it comes to her outifts.

hold it against me is one of my favorite britney videos. i think it's the last one that i was really obsessed with but her oops vid or toxic is like a million times more amazing. that's what i mean. i also absolutely love circus tour- all the outfits everything and yes many photoshoots we got did give me 2004ney vibes but it's gotten less and less presentable. like take vegas for example- very simply done and cicus is still on a higher level in quality and everything. maybe im just itching for a world tour (vegas is not the same thing) but im just not a fan of today's era. i hate the time after early 2000s, i dont get it. ive grown up with the earlier britney and i've never gotten what the industry is doing nowadays. all these celebs, very wierd material, videos and stuff. i just dont get it.

Well, as you say, she's changed, so of course the way she does things are gonna be different too. I think one of the main aspects I got from the I am Britney Jean documentary, is that they're definitely not spending a lot of money. They want to save the most they can, so I guess that's an important thing. Although, of course, they could do wonders with little money if they spent in the right things.

 

I think they're not dealing with the internet in the right way, but maybe they just chose not to pay attention to it. What I mean is, you say we only get fan pics or videos, but the thing is, in an ideal world for them, there shouldn't be any fan pics or videos in the first place. We weren't supposed to know how the show looks like until we got the DVD (or go in person to see the show) or the only (heavily edited) promo pictures we got last year. They're not presenting her wrong, they're just not presenting her in any way.

But I think I get you, I mean, in a crazy world ruled by the fans desires, Britney could be, let's say, doing professional photoshoots to upload those pics to her Instagram or Twitter, without an specific purpose like a magazine or some campaign, just doing justice to her beauty and share professional pics with her fans every once in a while. Or uploading at least some short, but professional clips of her shows to her YT account, as well as uploading her old, iconic performances from the past. And obviously it would have to include as well doing promo, interviews, live performances, etc. 

 

But I think it's a combination of a lot of things, she has other priorities, they don't want to spend too much money or time, maybe they don't have the same support from her record label, at the end of the day it isn't Jive anymore. Maybe they realize it's useless trying to approach to a younger generation when they know there's already plenty of artists younger than Britney, and they're like, meh, as long as she keeps selling Vegas tickets, everything's fine, even if her songs aren't ruling radio anymore, or YT or television.
