Britney Spears’ performance at the VMA’s was torn a part as she was apparently ‘drunk, fat, and lip singing.’ No matter what the people are never satisfied. There are always new stories coming out, one minute someone’s gone anorexic, next someone’s addicted to crack because she’s too skinny, or they gain a little weight, now suddenly there pregnant with someone’s boyfriend’s baby. I think it is all ridiculous. Honestly, I like the fact that Britney came out on stage the way she was, as if she wasn't afraid to hide it. She is definitely not fat, nor is she as skinny as she once was. But I definitely think that she is an average size, which most people in the real world are. With all these people making fun of her, I believe it is coming back on us as a community. Before we could look at magazines and be like "wow she’s so pretty, look at her body, she’s so in shape, etc"... and then there would always be someone who said "yah but that’s her job, she’s rich, she stays fit with only the best, they have motivation to stay fit." and then us as girls would realize that is true, we can't compare ourselves to famous models, singers, etc. But now that there making fun of her that is basically making fun of every one of us because she is an average size. I believe that Brittany Spears has become a mess, but she is not going to get better by getting hounded on all the time for every little thing!The media is never pleased with everyday average stories that show the good. Where was the media in the beginning when Britney was still sane?... where were all the stories telling us about the great things she was doing for her children?... All the media ever talks about is all the bad or shocking stories. People can’t honestly believe that she never does anything good.
Clearly Britney Spears is going through a lot and she is not going to get better by being criticized every time she tries to bring herself back on the scene.
