This Tuesday’s Glee episode on Britney Spears is even more anticipated than both the Madonna and Lady Gaga episodes. Check it out:
In her prime (although Britney has probably had one of the greatest comebacks ever in the history of the music business) Britney Spears was incredible. Even before she had that ridiculous six-pack and mastery of the “I-just-had-crazy-sex” hair style, reps on the Mickey Mouse Club must have seen some kind of talent shining through her so-so voice and average girl next door looks.
I would argue Britney was one of the best performers our generation: she knew exactly how to execute a provocative dance routine without scaring away her fan base (umm, X-tina?), and created a signature style in her music videos and live performances that made people immediately know they were watching Britney Spears, even if they had just tuned in. For your enjoyment, here are my two favorite Britney Spears live performances:
“Oops I Did it Again” at the VMAs in 2000
“I’m a Slave for You” at the VMAs in 2001
“Toxic” music video – what girl didn’t fantasize about looking that hot naked and covered in sequins?
The music video for one of her less popular songs, “My Prerogative” from her Greatest Hits album, was the last video before her plunge into rehab and personal problems. And I think she looks incredible.
