Is anyone else cracking up at the “Britney Spears IQ is 125. Are you smarter than her?” ad?

No.

One of the great things about the internet is that we can all voice our opinions about our crap celebrities. If it weren’t for sites like this then the nation, even the entire world, would think that everyone adored Parisite Hilton as much she says that we do. As for Britney, she’s had a music career handed to her and she has no business being in the industry. Every time she is featured on television, in a magazine or on an internet news site it takes a spot away from singers with real talent. Believe it or not, she is responsible for her own actions. She has had years to get vocal training, an education or even a clue. She chose to remain stagnant. How long was this act supposed to be cute? Her dancing is just an excuse to have her microphone turned off. Now she barely even dances. What’s her excuse now?

PS. Telling people to “leave so and so alone” no matter how you paraphrase it has never worked. My switch remains on.

Abs are almost always sprayed on. Plenty of singers mime – or atleast have a backing track INCLUDING Beyonce and Rihana – and I have heard Britney actually singing over the backing track in parts of her songs.

Just accept her for what she is and for what she isnt. If you dont like her then ignore her.

Its just like Paris Hilton who everyone says they hate and yet they follow everything she does. SWITCH OFF!

The routine sucks, the song sucks, she doesn’t sing it live. What’s the point then? Just go away Britney, you were a bad pop act that should have disappeared years ago, it’s only because of your ‘mental meltdown’ that we’re still hearing about you.

It wouldn’t matter if the routine was good – or specifically her part of it. All the really does is lift her leg and stomp around the stage with the grace of a trucker. It makes sense that the singer does less complicated moves as theoretically it’s nigh on impossible to stop the movement affecting your voice. The routine worked better on the French show as it was a smaller stage and more suited to the circus theme, on a big stage like the X Factor, it was very poor indeed. Still, it’s better than the laughable moves in the video.

I’m telling thee, she should have stayed away from that jail-bait-peddling gimp Larry Randolph and begged her old choreographer to come back. This home-made approach is just not working.

I do love the makeup on the dancers in the header photo though.

I don’t mind Britney Spears, so this may be a little bit of bias on my side, but…she’s lost weight.

I know that people love to tell themselves that every single photo of her and every piece of footage she’s in is edited, but she’s thin. I know a bunch of people really want her to stay “fat”, but this is silly. If you dislike her, find flaws that are actually THERE to harp off at, instead of making things up that cannot be proven otherwise.

Re article: I think every pop star has a cliched routine. About six years ago, this would have been okay.

Honestly, I don’t get the hubbub over her doing the same act over and over. It’s what they DO. They have an act and they go on tour performing that same act at every venue without straying far from the planned routines.

I’ve never understood how anyone could sing and dance at the same time…and, frankly, when I see artists TRYING to sing during live performances while they dance, I feel a bit cheated because all you can hear is the huffing and puffing of their breathing. The vocals suffer when the artist is being aerobic while singing. I’ve never had an issue with lip syncing during a show. Now…if the artist sits at a piano or on a stool in front of a mic while singing…I expect the real deal.

I guess…I just don’t get it.

Everything has to be staged to the second in a show like hers, where she is using pre-recorded tracks all the time. There’s not room for anything spontaneous to happen. Cheesy and boring. Hate that top hat look. Tacky and not fresh at all.

Ok Lilou the big difference is that Rihanna and Beyonce actually SING during their performances. SO if someone is going to stand up there and lip sync they better at least be doing amazing choreography and dancing.
