Pieces of Me - Britney Spears

I have been a little upset with the shocking head lines regarding Britney Spears over the last few days.

For a long time now I have been saying to people who think that she is a mad spoilt brat, to take it a little deeper or possibly one step further.

Stop for a while and think about her. She has been in the spotlight since she too young to decide what colours go with what and probably how to even put her own toothpaste on her toothbrush. Who can we thank for that? Probably her parents. Back then doing the pushing and racking in the money from her profits off the Mickey Mouse Club with friend Justin. We have seen the movies. Mothers forcing their children into pagent shows, always pushing. Now when she really needs their support, where are they? All we have heard is the shocking news of her 16 year old sister falling pregnant and how all of these interruptions have stopped her mother from finishing her book on Parenting...I ask, shouldn't she be doing it instead of writing about it? Is a child that bad to his or her parents that they couldn't even appear on an interview saying "no matter what, we love her and we are going to get her through it? Where is her support?

When you come to think of it, entertainers, pop stars, actors the likes are just normal people like you and I. They hurt, live, love, fail, succeed. We love them. We flock to opening nights of their movies, we rush out and download our favourite songs from their new albums, but god help them if they act normal and do something wrong...we allow the news papers to rip them to shreds. If this was your child or family member would you be out slating their every move, or would you perhaps be offering a kind word, some support maybe? I think the latter.

If you take the time and listen to her song words, she only speaks the truth. Her latest song Pieces of Me is screaming how she sees herself, how the world sees her and what is happening to her. A few years back with Overprotected, once again that is exactly what she was. She was at that stage being put on a pedistal and was crowned Miss Virginity. No pressure at all in that one.

I personally feel that she is line to become the next Madonna, and while you are taking a step back to think about what I have possibly said, remember Madonna in her Desperately Seeking Susan Days, In Bed With Madonna Days?

We all change. We all grow. I think we should let Britney grow. Find some space and catch her breath. I saw and interview the other day with Sharon Osbourne and she was asked her opinion on Britney. She said that all she wanted Britney to know was that she is there for her with open arms and ready to give her a hug.

I long for the day that I see a headline saying Don't Worry Britney, Its going to be OK.
