Maybe not last night (or the night before) but she did took drugs in her life, she's not an angel.
Since her divorce she has bad times but she shouldn't be judged too quickly. She made mistakes after mistakes but she really needs help like a big rehab (6 months) with nothing and a lot of psychological help.
The journalists should leave her alone, there are hundred of people who follow her everywhere she goes, there is no wonder she had a breakdown.

I really pity her, I hope she gets the help she needs. I think she needs to take a long break from the public eye.

Well, she didn't sell them because of her voice. No doubt Britney has/had star quality (and a good work force behind her), but she is no Celine Dion.

Actually Aaron is right, she has the charism and whatever to make her a huge star but in terms of 'voice', she has a different one every album and it's not so great.

A different voice on every album?? I dont think its Britney on drugs tonight
I feel sorry for her, she needs to get away from the music industry IMO and get some serious help, the main thing should be her getting better, not continuing with her carere

The press and paps just NEED to leave her alone. She should just get out of the spotlight for a good while and fix herslf. She needs help and the media really aren't helping.
Captain.Remy

The best thing for her is a long 6 months obligated rehab, alone in the middle of nowhere. The press will find somebody else to talk about.

Who is talented or not depends on different perceptions about entertainment.
Britney whatever the cause she certainly needs help. She is to young to wast her life in this manner.......
Mental breakdowns can take on many forms and I do not believe one should be hatefull towards her regardless of her apparent crazy behavour.......The woman is sick and like all sick people should be regarded with respect....Mental illness and addictions is an illness just like any other......
I just hope she does not become more dangerous to her children or herself....

I really feel for this young girl, she is still so young yet so troubled.
I really feel that a full psychiatric evaluation is what she needs right now, and I am not saying this to be cruel I am saying it in the hope that she gets this and is given the right help and support. I really feel she has some mental helath issue that could be helped.
I dont think criticism of her singing is really the issue here, her singing is like a sideline for her right now. She needs to concentrate on getting well in herself. She needs to accept help that is offered to her, she needs to learn to like herself again as it is pretty obvious that she doesnt right now.
I really think they will find she is bi-polar, she displays so many of the common signs of this. She is erratic in her behaviour and unreasonable, she seems to go through great periods of high then dips into depression. Lets hope she gets the help she needs, it is a long road with mental health problems, often a life long road but she can get there.

She courts the press, invites the attention then her supporters claim she's being hounded. Dont make me larf.
She is talented but she's incredibly ill advised. She needs to stay out of limelight for an extended period but more than that she needs to want to stay out of the limelight. One of the problems with these media *****s is that they crave the attention too much. Britney definitely craves as much attention as she shuns.
I dont know what will happen to her but I do know I'm sick of hearing about every single thing that happens to her. Maybe she should let the press write about someone else.

I think to help her, the press should stop following her around and putting every little thing she does in their magazines. I was reading Heat last week and they did a full two page article all becauase she had mud on the bottom of her pants- and the point to that article is...? Exactly, there isn't one.
I think she is followed around so much she is now convinced she permanently needs to be in the limelight- I think she feels if she keeps her profile up it gets her more attention, making her think she has more chance of getting her children back.
Although people think that the Judge was wrong taking her custody rights away from her, her life has spiralled out of control and I think it is in the bets interests of the children to TEMPORARILY be away from their mother until she gets the necessary treatment.
I have been supporting Britney ever since I listened to her music years ago and I think she does have the willpower and the money to sort out and organise her life- she needs to get out of the country and away from the tabloids. And get away from her new 'boyfriend' who is inching closer to her fortune...

I still think 6 months in the middle of nowhere with psychologists will be enough to make her happier and to make things sorted it out.

She left the country yesterday and the press issued a bloody rescue mission just to find her. And when they did, they hounded her in Mexico. She can't escape the press, when will people understand that? And no she didn't lead them there, officials led a false lead on her being in New Jersey. They went to so much trouble just to track her down.

Sunny, whilst we disagree over some matters, I cannot help but agree with your above statement.
It is a pity that people here would rather ''debate'' topics such as Britney whilst often skimming more important ones. Further, the input in this Serious Debate section is laughable at best and downright pathetic at worst.
Is it not up to us what we debate? And a lot of the forum is made up of younger people who dont understand some of the things debated.
Anyways I think Britney should be left alone, but it's not going to happen. She's got too much attention, wanted or not. The press make a big deal when she does something wrong, but they are one of the causes of her depression IMO

And don't forget to mention that she was once a huge teen icon, but due to the media intrest of her becoming much worse, it destroyed her.
IMO she should leave America.maybe she could "sneak away to the philipines"
I love her. She's amazing. I think that she needs to sort herself out atm, but I'll never stop liking BRITBRIT!

She snuck away to Mexico last week (despite leads that she was in New Jersey leaked for her protection) and they still managed to find her. They won't leave her alone at all.

I think she doesn't deserve this, with what the media/press are doing to her, i think the main reason its she is being the way she. I feel so sorry for her with everything she has been through, her performance gets criticised at the vma's when overall it wasnt bad it was considerably good seeing went she went through before then, yes she did lip sync it, but who cares? i mean for her to get up on that stage was a big achievment for her seeing as she went through all those problems beforehand. The press just criticise her about anything and everything, if she doesnt anything wrong they there to criticise. She has done well compared to most people who would of really gone down the drain.
She needs to get out of america for a while and go somewhere else, the press in america are tw*ts.
I really hope everything works out for her because she isnt a bad person.
I was listening to Radio 1 earlier and they played the most popular single on the Blackout album by Radio 1 listeners.. it was 'Get Naked (I Got A Plan)' I was like :spin: in the car. I thought it'd be Toy Soldier or something.

It is, but it is also my right to condemn and outright snigger at the topics at hand, particularly if they are not even debated, but, rather, given pathetic three-worded comments like ''she is fit'' or ''never liked her'' or the similar drivel that infests this forum.
And a lot of the forum is made up of younger people who dont understand some of the things debated.
That's no excuse.
It's bad enough hardly anyone understands the topics presented to them, especially since these people are in their teens now and twenties (I'm 21, and have known of these issues since 13) but the fact they are so UNWILLING to learn or discuss relevant issues is pathetic.
My point still stands.
Maybe people dont want to learn it, it doesnt make them pathetic, it means they come on here to talk about big brother and things they want, not politics etc, just because they don't want to discuss certain topics, doesn't mean you have the right to call them idiots or pathetic, and tbh it says more about you than it does anyone else.
"but it is also my right to condemn and outright snigger at the topics at hand". Respect is a thing which this forum relies on IMO, if people dont respect each other then this causes havoc, but you have just said that you have the right to singger etc at topics. It just shows lack of decency, and once again, says more about you than anyone else.
Oh btw, I hope this fits your criteria for posts.:thumbs:

This is the ''serious debate'' section, so anything goes. Isn't it ironic (yes I know, more irony) that in a ''serious'' debate section, no such seriousness exists :whistle:
just because they don't want to discuss certain topics, doesn't mean you have the right to call them idiots or pathetic, and tbh it says more about you than it does anyone else.
It says that I care about where our society is heading whilst you do not.
Oh btw, I hope this fits your criteria for posts.
It does, as you have tried to make a point. You failed, miserably, but you still get points for at least trying.
I failed miserably? Says who? you? You dont have the right to say what we can or cannot discuss in the debates section, its upto us, if people dont care about the topics youve made and not reply to them, its because they dont want to, sodont ridicule others for not replying, especially when they get called names for doing so.
Long Live Britney!

I think she's ridiculous, especially regarding her children. The way she acts, she doesn't have the right to be a mother. They would simply not be safe with her.
I also don't like her in a musical sense, I think that when you consider music like The Smiths, Britney Spears' music is an utter disaster.

Oh give it a rest :rolleyes:
I put this in anther thread but hey ho.....
As her life goes into a downwards spiral I am changing my view on Britney. I feel incredibly sorry for her. Yes she has courted the paparazzi and used them when she wanted something promoted so she shouldnt really grumble about press invasion. However, she has been in the entertainment business for 14 years and hasnt really had much of a childhood.
I personally think that her meltdown shouldnt be swarmed upon because I think that she has mental issues. Its nothing to be ashamed of. Its surprising how many people are plagued with such issues.
I think she is torn between 'Bitch' Britney and 'Mommy' Britney. She wants to be both and one day she can be on of those and the next day wake up and be the other. And she is torn between the two. She needs to get psychological help and fast because if she doesnt then her kids will be taken away from her for good. And no matter how bad you are.... no mother wants to be parted for her children

I agree, and I know a lot of people don't believe she cares for her children, but if you see the OK! pictures (which they stole) - you'll see she really does.

The bad press and constant media attention was what helped to drive her partly insane. I don't think she's completely mental, but she is obviously deeply suffering at the moment - as a result, her mentalities are changing, and things are spiralling out of control. However, I don't agree that simply the media should be blamed; it obviously contributes to her overall situation, but a lot of personal decisions she made over the years are what have led her to her state right now. The constant coverage of it just made it worse - the tabloids love her.
The fact is, Britney was a huge teen star in America a couple of years ago, with the image of being innocent - and with such a label, you just cannot expect to be left alone. The media was what made her what she was at her peak, and unfortunately the fact that her life/beliefs changed and everything turned around was also captured for public attention. That's just the way it works, depending on how you react to it.
Right now, I think she should be left to sort her life out, but she keeps re-appearing, e.g. having released her latest album (although admittedly I do love it). I remember in the past, she said she would be taking a break, but appeared again within the space of a week. At the moment, so much is going on in her life - but most importantly of all, she needs to purely concentrate on getting her life back on track.
At any rate, I’m still a fan and will probably remain so – I loved her years ago, perhaps went off her a bit but am back to supporting her fully.

17-01-2008, 09:43 PM
I honestly feel sorry for her she's had a rough time and is trying to get back on the mend but the press seem to keep knocking her back down. Ok fair enough some things she's done in the past like shaving her head, going mental at a camera guy for taking pictures that was not her good days but now she's trying to get her image back and people are just constantly picking faults with her. Personally both her songs she's released off her new album I love and think she stands a good chance of coming back how she did in the earlier days!!! And all this about her being fat is absoultley ridiculous she's more curvier now and looks good!!! I think everyone should just back off her and let her enjoy her life.

17-01-2008, 11:01 PM
I feel really sorry for her. In my view, her problem is similar to Amy Winehouse's: she surrounds herself with the wrong people.
I don't keep up to date on what's happening to her, but from my knowledge she seems to switch from partner to partner, and that's never going to help provide a stable, secure and safe life for either her or her kids.
It seems Britney never had a childhood, therefore perhaps now's the time she's chosen to make up for her lost years and simply rebel, go off the rails?
I'm not going to pretend I'm a fan of her music, but regardless of that, whether you're a fan or not, it's clear the music should be put to rest for now whilst she takes some time for herself and tries to restore some order in her life.

I still suport Britney, she been through s*** and back and people keep treating her like a loon. I admit she is in desperate need of help, but with all of us making a HUGe deal out of us then who is she to disappoint. She needs to get a break from the media for about six months, take a hike, come back and be better than ever. She just needs head space and once she's got it she might realize she has a problem and she will go and get it sorted.
Baisically, GIVE BRITNEY A BREAK!!!!!

I really think that the press should back off and leave her alone, she cant do anything without someone taking a picture of her or getting involved in her life. I think its partly the press who have made her who she is today and if they dont back off how is she ever going to get better? There going to kill her how they killed Princess Diana if there not careful! There spoiling lives just for the sake a few quid and a picture in a magazine!!! x

In my opinion, she should be left alone. She has wanted to be left alone for ages, contridicting myself, if she is still carrying on releasing Songs and CD's and Perfume etc then she is going to get press, which she dosent wantm so she cant win.
She wants money without the fame and the celebrity tagg that comes with it.
Come on Britney, cheer up, release better songs and try and be the old Britney. - but, could this 'new' britney be the britney that we never saw before, becuase she had this 'super clean' image...Hhmmmmm???

Since when were album sales a marker of talent?
And I would not be so sure that she did not take drugs. The only person who knows about Britneys drug habits are Britney.
Im also not going to act like an insane zealot like some of you have done and give my own personal suggestions on how she should improve her life as if I knew her family and the woman in question personaly.
Bottom line is that she needs help. The paps will eventually get bored. Course when shes all sorted out in a years time she will want them back. Its the nature of celebrity.
As for her music , it never did anything for me.

Of course her talent is through singing, thats why she has sold so many records, and so she MUST have a talent. Obviously, you may not think so, and your allowed to think that, but, i for one disagree, Britney did have talent and even though we all think its not as good now, she still does have talent in singing.

Singing is a talent but not every holder of the talent is nessacerily special. My schools choir sing , and thus have a talent like Britney so by your definition should they sell albums in the hundreds of millions too?
Talent is subjective. And as a matter of opinion , I find Britney to be a singer not good nor bad , just entirely mundane and unspectacular. Therefore , any argument about the greatness of her talent because of album sales is instantly rendered useless in my eyes , as I choose to view her as a boring singer and no amount of records sold can prove my personal opinion wrong.
Las Ketchup and The Cheeky Girls have all charted at one time or another. Are we to set opinion aside and confirm they are 'talented' because they have sold lots?

No wonder why you have your first warning, you can never see reasoning and allways have to go that extra step farther to annoy someone by picking faults or whatever.

So TiBB is the place for opinions but we are not allowed to argue them? Do you realise that this topic is in a forum called serious debates?
Why bring up a warning that had nothing to do with me arguing? Why do you think I annoy people and pick faults just because im arguing with YOU?!
