Britney Spears has been in the spotlight (whether she wanted it or not) for the past dozen years but the public still knows little about the personality of this blonde pop-star. While media models like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry take breaks during their show to improvise and have a little back and forth with their crowds, all Spears has been revealing is a tanned belly button.
We’re Getting if from Other Stars
From Swift we hear about past romances, Gaga reminds us we’re all equal, beautiful and important through reminicient stories from her youth, and Katy Perry tells jokes and relates stories about her handsome actor of a husband. Again, all we get from Spears hello’s, thank you’s and good byes. Even Spears’ latest tour has revolved around SWAT teams, spies, and espionage in yet another attempt to guard the performer she could potentially be.
What We do Know
We know that Spears married K-Fed, had two baby boys, shaved her head, and is now dating her agent/producer, but what emotional changes did the start go through since her days in school girl outfits and the movie “Cross roads”? Even Spears’ songs reveal little about her personal life. Yes, she’s producing hot dance music that’s become must haves on the club scene, but what do threesomes, paradise, and “wanting your body” have to do with the real Spears?
Is Spears Going to Last?
In a day and age where the public are obsessed with reality TV, memoirs, and youtube interviews, a star is going to have to reveal a little more than some skin to sell tickets, books, clothing, or movies. The public wants to be able to relate to the celebrities they’re worshipping and feel some human connection with their pop-star heroes.
The real question now is whether or not this 29 year old will be able to carry on behind her costume changes if she’s not selling out venues. Word has it, more people came to see Brit’s opener “Niki Minaj” than actually stayed for the Spears show.
