Beyonce is light-years more talented than Brittany. ... light-years.

To the brainless recording and rest of corporate media : STOP BAILING OUT BRITNEY SPEARS !!!!
Let her d i e a TRL d ea th. Please.

No point dumping this proven defective product in the populace, okay. If you know what's good for ya. Put up with better material or S H U T Y ER F A CE. Or we will be forced to take you all out immediately.

Britney Spears, for all intents and purposes, is the subcultural face of George W. Bush. It is not a face we deserve to deal with, and its not a face America and the rest of the world would want to ever look at again. Get the message.

Britney Spears : the Sarah Palin of music.

And this thing don't mean sh*t. Everyone knows this repeated offender is specifically an MTV creation. I mean, it's like saying the majority likes Bill O' Riley more ' coz he rates good at FOX NEWS.

Or Sarah Palin.

America has been saturated with Britney since her chaotic antics by wearing no underwear and dating anything with a p*nis.

Why can't true stories about drug use be printed instead of all the pity party mental illness lies? I guess it sounds better to the reporters writing the stories. I guess Ecstasy has killed a few brain cells which in turn caused mental illness. What will she tell her boys?

[tidalfist]

Why won't she stay D E A D.
Oh , I know : M O N E Y.

When I saw the new Rolling Stone yesterday I practically gagged. She's on the cover!?!?!? This is the same cover that has featured Barack Obama many times. RS has sunk to new low.

It's the return of the cash cow, sadly.
We should have had a grunge or a punk-like movement brewing at this point in time; fresher, subversive newer pop ideas to give us all something ELSE to talk about.
But nowadays, WHAT ?
This just shows that, in the words of Jackson Browne as ripped of by Senator John McCain, the conglomerate media is running on empty. They've been hard-pressed finding the ' next big act ' to stripmine ( even propping up an entire reality show build around that vapid purpose ), and they're running on empty. So they prop up these tried and tested ( yet since abandoned ) media products again.

It's a sad day even for corporate music, when you've only got this blight and Brokencyde.

The sickening equivalent of this multinational oligarchy desperately ressurecting this b**ch's career is that of bringing back a stale appliance at the Walmart just ' coz they couldn't come up with something ELSE that's marginally fresh. Or a chew toy,, to continually muffle the teen consumer population with. Just like old times.

i hate mtv...

This girl should be home with her kids resting after everything that's happened. Instead, she's going on shows, and a tour, and continuing to invite everyone into her personal life, then crying about it. What a sham, and shame!

[harriettubman]

I agree. I'm so tired of seeing her face. If anyone is that mentally ill and makes $700,000/month, they need to go into hibernation for a couple of years to recuperate.

the Sarah Palin of the music industry.

[Xgal08]

best quote of the day! Like Sarah Palin, I just don't get the appeal.

Who is watching this cr@p? I'm in their target group audience. I proudly haven't watched MTV in years.

[harriettubman]

Exactly!

[tidalfist]

And like Sarah Palin - ' artificially created '
To apply to the masses' absolute worst instincts.
And, just as determined to defile Islam with her stupid broken c li t.

Gee, you think she really paid for all those clothes ?!?

[tidalfist]

And, like that other pointless b*tch mommy who WOULDN'T STAY AWAY, is probably as bad as her ' base '. That, too.

[necer65]

I am just glad that she is back on her feet again. I believe she was in a really bad place and it is good that her family stepped in to help her. I wish her lots of luck in her future.

[tidalfist]

Hmmm.... which ' family ' ?
The one that hawks multimillion dollar contracts ?

[inluvwkeitholbermann]

just as dumbfounded about britney's success as beyonce's........americans have no tolerance for real talent.....

[bluekatz]

First they have to understand what is real talent. Beyond that they are just a bunch of gullible f00ls. MTV of all places..oookkaay!

[tidalfist]

That's unfair comparison, because Beyonce can sing.
And she wasn't as flippant at the prospect of Iraquis being indiscriminately slaugtered, while flipping gum around from inside her mouth. What I wouldn't give to have pulled that gum out - and STUCK IT ON HER MOTHERF**KING EYE. !!!! I guess now is the opportunity.

But it's really the quality of the composite product. Beyonce may have no personality, but even THAT flaw doesn't hold a candle to the VERY WRONGNESS OF THIS B***CH'S EXISTENCE !!!!
Wasn't American Idol suppose to establish this throwaway act do not deserve to succeed.

Nothing about this limping corruption from the Gingrich Mid Nineties is earned, much less deserved. She is an insult to our intelligence and capacity for the truly good. And, like Sarah Palin out there, is a stupidty we're forcibly made to contemplate on so they will have something to talk about all the way to the bank, and ' coz ' starbursts are blasting off the screen '. Appealing to ' worst instincts ' , I'm afraid. Like I said.
