Sorry to be on your ass about Britney -- she's just a topic that I fucking love. I have my hipster cred in spades, but nothing really intrigues me more than Britney.

In my humble opinion: Britney Spears is the greatest protagonist to come around since Courtney Love.

The concept of Britney is fucking genius. "Piece of Me" is genius. The lyrics are basically unreal because a lot of times when artists come into success they have songs that are completely unrelateable to the audience let along future audiences. However, "Piece of Me" and the songs on Blackout and Circus have some undeniably relateable quality to them because they chronicle struggle. They each have elements to them that are only applicable to Britney Spears -- which makes them wholly personal -- as well as elements that the regular person can identify with. "Do you want a piece of me?" -- The struggles of spreading yourself out too thin... something anyone can related to.

On Circus, in her song "Womanizer," Britney sings the line "You think I'm crazy? / I got your crazy" or is it "You think I'm crazy? / I got you're crazy"??? Either one works PERFECTLY. Any woman can relate to that line.

"You think I'm crazy? / I got your crazy" - in this context, the line implies that the person saying it is in an argument with another and that argument hasn't yet reached it's full intensity. As if to say: you think i'm acting crazy now? wait til you see what I have in store for you.

"You think I'm crazy? / I got you're crazy" - in this context, the line implies that the person saying it is being accused of being called crazy, but the accuser is in fact, crazy as well.

See, it's all extremely complex.

Also, I forgot to mention that Britney personifies the complexities of the internet age. She is constantly changing and displaying different avatars depending on where she is appearing -- yet there's still some major aspect of her personality that seeps through in these different persona's.Like someone you meet online, she's exactly how you want her to be. She's a fighter, a victim, pathetic, strong, a bumpkin, complex, smart, funny, clever... however you want to think about her, that's her, yet she's unabashedly herself.
