Is Spending $100k on Britney Spears Toxic? kzhead.info/sun/ZsWDp7erippuY6c/bejne.html
She deserved so much more respect and privacy . She was so young vulnerable and they used and abused her to the point of collapse. Hollywood is evil
WinterAngel 28 you’re Wright.
It is terrible when they decide to pick on certain people--especially when they know they are vulnerable.
She's so lucky, she's a star.
The Olsen twins left but she made the choice to stay so...
WinterAngel 28 it was crazy when the chased her , the whole head shaving , they would not stop ! It was insane
What have they done to this smart,beautiful,sensitive,gentle,inteligent girl/soul. My heart breaks 4 her.
the original britney is dead...
They broke her and now she will never be the same
I fear she is still being overwhelmed and mistreated in 2019.
@@sueb2898 shes being used and abused by her own family in 2019
@@Harisss94 I believe it and i think that perhaps they give her meds that she doesn't need for years,they poison her , that's why she looks like a crazy woman in Instagram.And no one can help her.
> Britney is and will always be the last true Princess of Pop. She alone literally changed the Pop Music scene since 1998, when she came out with "...Baby One More Time..."
Twice!!! After 9/11, pop died out again and came back with Gimmie More in 07. Gaga, Katy, P!nk, kelly, kesha, and Rihanna can thank Godney Spears for it!!!!
No,Madonna changed the music scene,alone.Britney is just a commercial product for teenagers.
@Jayson M yeah,Britney and her million personnalities created by MK Ultra programming doesn t care about it i think.Good evening!
Lmao How Britney changed the pop genre when she was making the same spice girls and n'sync sound with Max Martin
@Jayson M where do i make fun of mental illness?What an answer!😂 MK Ultra IS NOT mental illness.It provokes multiple personnalities.That doesn t come from a mental illness.Do some research about it!Have a nice day!
You can tell early on she got sick of fame and realized their was no way back. It's pretty depressing.
I wonder what that really means. Is it that once everyone knows you, they know you? Despite that, I feel like once you stop putting out, ppl will mostly stop paying attention.
@@gster580 I think it's because they have no privacy. Every single step is being recorded and watched by someone, especially with Britney Spears, who grew up while the entire world was watching her making mistakes, judging and laughing at her.
Waa runtaa😔
Exactly
@BluGyal: It's depressing that you didn't spell it THERE.
She was so eloquent, well spoken, free spirited, unapologetic back in the day. I feel like her “team” mainly father has taken all that away, they put fear, shame, doubt, manipulation, emotional abuse on her so that she can do what they tell her to all for greed & money, they took her voice & life away. Britney, no matter what, if you want to go away, leave this industry behind, be with your babies, be the old true you again, we support you. All that matters to us your true fans, which are a lot of ppl, is your genuine happiness🧚♂️🦋💚
Well according to an insider theres a written letter that takes place during the Britneys mental break down, written by her but possibly through a third person. About how Kevin neglected her and the kids at one point, how they set her up the day that she locked her kids and self in the bathroom was actually a set up. Whoever was under the same roof with her told her to hide in the bathroom with the kids bc the police were at her door and to wait in the bathroom with them until she was told they were gone.. to out of no where the cops broke through her door and took her kids away claiming that she was kidnapping her kids when Britney had no idea and was just doing what she was told orginal but was set up like she was a horrible mother and tried taking her kids away. Apparently her father, family, people that work with her telling her if she says anything too private that they will take her kids. So shes been silent this whole time out of the fear of losing her kids. Poor girl 😢
@@Faery_Witch422 what can we do to help her out off this absusive environment? surely some rich people in hollywood could help if they'd knew
She's so insecure now ....
@@MsUnknown007 kzhead.info/sun/m7awd6uumZtjbKM/bejne.html&feature=emb_title
#freebritney shes being held captive and its clear she wants out. 12 years is long enough
This is how I will remember Britney. Humble, aware, and sweet. The media took her privacy away in exchange for our entertainment. I hope she finds true happiness and hopefully she returns to her passion when she wants. She will forever be a legend in the history of pop music. ❤️
She was always too talented and had too much natural star quality for her own good. She's a true modern day icon not only for her music and image, but also an icon of strength and perseverance. Ultimately she's been punished for being too human in an industry that expected her to be a robot. #FreeBritney
Amen! Brit is the best ❤️
There is no things called "too talented" especially britney, her voice nothing special, she was just entertained because she danced and she was hot and pretty
Well said👍👍👍👍
Yess!! Anything you said is true
Jalan Rina she’s talented. youre brain washed by the media to believe she isnt. if you put as much effort into your comment as you did researching on google and youtube you wouldve deleted your mouth breather comment.
When she found out that her album debuted number 1, she called her mom,Granny, sister, but not her Dad! That’s really explains a lot..
He was an alcoholic
@@chellepatino1675 still is
In the phone court interview, she said that her mom is essentially as bad as her dad; a different energy but exploitative all the same. :(
If they just got this girl a financial advisor and a therapist at 18, she’d be FINE now. Her team really thinks they own her and her image and it’s disgusting.
I totally agree.
Worse when you realise a lot of her 'team' are family. So gross.
and her own family only cares about the money she makes, it's truly heartbreaking..
I didn't follow all the details about all that went wrong but what did her mother do to help her?
Her team think they own her so much that they even control her reproductive rights. This is down right disgusting and reminds me so much of The Handmaids Tale. She deserves justice and to finally use HER voice more going forward!! ❤ We love you, Britney!! #FreeBritney
I really hope she finds herself again and be comfortable with herself and give zero shits about how others think of her
BS what are you talking about, Britney has been unbothered and happy for years now, yes her life is still not easy but she herself has been fine for quite some time now
SR No, she hasn't. Like she's definitely better than she was in 2007 but she's been dealing with a lot this past year #FreeBritney
That is how others deal--they do not care about what they say in magazines and just live their own life.
She's gone now. Still here in body but her mind and soul is gone
They chewed this girl up and spit her out. This is why when people want their kids to be in showbusiness I'm like why????????
Because they view them as cash cows & are greedy but will give them credit for dismissing her manager who facilitated her breakdown (think he supplied her with drugs to control her)!!
I have seen KZheadrs using their children for attention and views.So many parents use their children for money.It's disturbing
@@cagurl9113 It is said that she took many drugs, maybe that's why she has mental issues.
It’s because she’s TOO nice for her own good. Zoe Saldana said Britney have never dissed or been a hater to her peers but she knows people who have to Britney because it was just a popular thing to do. She’s like the nerd in school that everyone likes to beat up on because they know they could get away with it.
right!!!
this breaks my heart... hollywood is such a dark place.
dude she’s so adorable 🥺 #FreeBritney
she used to be so cute & now she looks 60 years old and tired
Famished Nintendog it’s not her fault she’s under a conservative and is forced to take medication for something she doesn’t have 🙄
Famished Nintendog hopefully this year the judge rules to take the conservatorship away :/
@@newernewestnew I feel bad for her
When she came out with lucky, she was telling us how she really felt then.
I dont think so.. She DID NOT write those songs.. Those were not even chosen BY her
Baenja lmao you’re all arguing over something that you all honestly know nothing about . You don’t know if she wrote them , didn’t write them , if it meant something in her heart at that moment or not . You people are crazy ! All of you !!
@Baenja Absolutely a fact. You are correct. There are interviews that back that up too so not everyone is crazy "Material Girl". lol
Yup
i hear that song every single night
Britney was never arrogant. Probably the reason why many have been mean to her.
She's low key very self aware and almost spiritual in these interviews
She’s the original. She’s unforgettable. She wants you to know. She’s been cloned.
@@Peonies925 she hasn’t been cloned. She’s been silenced
Very mature
@@nicolec8143 it's song lyrics of one of britney's unreleased songs
@@Peonies925 those lyrics were changed, it’s she’s gone. Do your research
Even the way she speaks, so well spoken. She don’t sound like this no more, she speaks in her baby voice😪🥺
She was totally under controll, human trafficked:( now she becoming herself step by step
i feel like the real Britney is lowkey nerdy and shy
shut up
She is. The Britney we used to see on stage was her getawaynda time to let it all out and be fierce and sexy
She’s a farm girl at heart! She wants a simple life. She’s said it many times.
Because of one clip where she looks like that? Lol. I don't think so at all. She's more country like
Probably you are kinda right. I didn't see it that way before.
We all change as we age, but Britney doesn’t even look half the woman she used to be, physically and mentally. She was able to bounce back from 2007 but she has never been the same since. I miss her confidence and her aura on stage, I miss the iconic, larger than life performer that she used to be.
There’s a freedom & a fire that she lost for sure. When she performs it’s like she not comfortable putting her arms all the way out. There used to be a fire in her eyes when she performed that said “I’m in charge.” Not it’s almost like she’s just there to get through it & give everyone what they want from her... it’s not the same. But she’s a soldier.
Same
She's totally different when she perform she lost the fierce in dancing the move is there but totally different now But when we watch Madonna she never changed when she perform the fierce always even thou she's in her sixties
It's also the medication she is on. psychodrugs antidepressant etc
AC22 that’s life man. Happens to many even though they are not famous. Her life just happens to be paraded in front of the world.
An angel. Too good for the business.
She’s so humble, kind and confident. She looks adorable in her glasses 🤓
Britney has a big heart. You can't deny that. So well spoken, so charismatic, and humble.
She's a good person
Everybody in Hollywood wanted to bring her down because of her fame beauty talent many are jealous and get paid to ruin her...
rica spears exactly man
She needs her own record label with an entire brand new team.
Literally the kindest human being.
She’s so graceful. She has an such understanding of her role as a performer that is rare these days.
I’d love to see Britney Spears come back with vengeance lol like creep up on everyone with her own record label, really running the ship exactly she wished it was done through her time. Even though she is already back in Vegas THAT would be such a sick move
I want the same. I want her to be her own boss, doesnt give a fuck about anyone and come back with passion stronger than ever, with a new iconic sexy style and visuals.
János Zsigus Az nekem is nagyon tetszene hehe
@@bencegabor648 reménykedjünk 🤧
She tried to with Original Doll back in the 2000s and it sadly didn't work 😕
I think Britney does too.
Before Britney grunge rock, hip hop and R&B were big, pop was dead, she really helped revitalize it and she inspired so many artists in her generation and after her.
Actually she revolutionized the pop music. That's her legacy.
She was so sweet and genuine. It’s impossible not to love her. Nobody will ever be able to top her.
We can send email Britneyspears com860@gmail.com. no pictures
I remember seeing her infamous breakdown back in the day (god knows I've been there myself).. Made me realize she's not just some airhead pop star. No doubt that she's been through a lot of serious hell with life in front of a camera. People always cracking jokes, dealing with rumors nonstop, scumbags taking advantage of her left and right. That's gotta suck not knowing who's real in your life. I imagine that's a big part of why she's dedicated herself to motherhood, because your kids and the love therein will always be real. But I hope she's got a few genuine people around her that make sure she's actually happy and healthy and all. If you've ever been to the brink of sanity, it becomes a tread upon path, and it takes work not to go back there.
She was so well spoken and elaborate since day one. So smart and humble
Legend! The cutest & most humble artist in the world! She is so down to earth & that's one of the many reasons why I love her!
Very well said! Agree!😊
She was sweet and most humble star since day 1 until now. Oh poor Britney, u deserved more privacy and control ur own life
So detailed and talkative, not the same shy introverted Britney we have today 😓 just glad she got through her lows and came out stronger which is all the matters 😊
4:34 She was concerned about not falling on stage / Her performance became one of MTV's most iconic moments of all time. Will she ever realise how great and lovable she is? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Enrico Fusai she copy Aaliyah in We need a resolution
John Hattan Feinstein not copied smh more like she got inspired from her video.
@@johnhattanfine Salma Hayek did it first in the movie “from dusk till dawn”
Witch one was it? 🙏🏻
I miss this Britney! So young with full of energy and spirit. The music world is not the same without her. I hope she comes back with new music in the new decade.
Hell yeah...let's pray. But i'm more nervous about the court date on 20 Jan 2020....let's see what comes out of it...
Yessss
@@marie_84 it didn't come out well
@@lotussavage1283 yeah...7 month later we finally know.
She looks like the kindest girl I easily could be friend with and be myself.
We all did this to her, the industry, the media and us, the audience. Its a miracle that she is still alive. Its time to think about the kind of entretaiment we consume
As much as it breaks my heart to admit this if she was to find her inner peace and happiness at her home, with her boys and loved ones I would support her 100% on that decision. She has given us so much already and the light in her eyes is long gone. She deserves HER moment now. We will always have her hits and interviews to comfort our nostalgia. ❤️
God she changed so much poor thing, the way she talks, look in her eyes, everything. She needs lots of love right now. :(
This makes my heart blow!!
you wish
@@FireTiger8866 she was am important part of everyone's lives that was alive during her prime. No need for wishing.
she was soooo humble. she literally was like "oh i just hope i dont fall" right before she delivered the most iconic mtv performance of all time
More content like this please!! I bet you MTV have so much material from Britney ❤️
She was my first CD. My first concert. Britney Jean Spears you will always be my superstar. I will never forget so many of my childhood memories being attached to this woman. She is a beacon of light and has touched so many. I pray we see that smile again. We love you Brit Brit! ❤❤❤
In her own Words.. OMG invented Words 💓💓🌈
Man what a gem. Such a shame, I hope she has a better life
You can even tell by 2003 that the light was leaving her eyes. I loved her so much & to see what’s happened to her breaks my heart. Love you forever, Britney. 💜
Britney was so beautiful. I mean, she is now but she clearly didn't recognize how beautiful she was naturally. I miss these days she was my number 1 idol growing up.
She's done to much to her nose now that she didn't need too☹️
@@ilovebabyyoda712 ikr I remember her saying early on she hated her nose cuz she thought it was big and it rly wasnt!
@@scenepunk09 She had a nice nose. It fit her well. Now it's way too thin. I forget which magazine it was she was on but she looked like Heidi Klum and not the Britney that we know. She's at least had 2 nose surgeries ☹️ but I feel like they all get nose surgery once they're famous. It must be a requirement or something because practically anyone you can name if you look at pictures from when they started until now you can see a change in their nose
@@ilovebabyyoda712 so true. And lips. I she did something to her lips as well.
@@scenepunk09 Her teeth are also different now, like one of her front teeth is crooked and she's got a small space between her two front teeth that wasn't there before. She had such a beautiful smile before.
She’s was the literal girl next door turned pop star. She wasn’t ready to be a star but the world saw this cute, genuine girl and latched onto her so quickly. That’s probably what made her so fun for the media to target. They saw this little southern teen that loved to sing and dance and was immediately being swept up in glitz and fame and they decided a narrative and an outcome for her and sucked her dry
It makes me so sad watching this after the documentary. She is not dumb, she knows she was used to make money for others. And that breaks my heart. So much of what made her anxious/depressed was bc ppl have certain expectations of women in society & she just wanted to get away from those ideals. She was always just herself until the media tore her down. They would've never had the audacity to make fun of her mental health issues if she were a man. It's incredibly misogynistic any way you spin it. I love her so much, it's heartbreaking.
Why documentary?
Never realized how handled she actually was. Some of these clips are candid but others are very rehearsed. When she talks bout music and recording in the studio she lights up. I think what we see now are artists breaking under the pressure of performing live and being famous and not handling it as well as Britney pretended to. She was definitely a professional.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITNEY 💕💕💕
She was so happy,cute,excited and adorable about her teen movie 🍿🎥! Sweet Britney
Whoever has been in charge of Britney and her empire has forgotten that she is a living soul. She became a money making machine for greedy people and all that was beautiful about her has been smothered under layers of evil. I believe this amazing girl still exists. She was so humble throughout all these interviews. I think she has been treated so wrongly she has had to harden her heart. But I still believe this beautiful person is wanting to be free again. #freebritney
She was the consummate professional as a teen!!! Thn they took control. Hijacked her autonomy. Proud of her standing up and prevailing.
Happy Birthday to the ETERN PRINCESS OF POP Miss Britney Spears!
Yesss
They really gave her hell
They ruined everything of her: - her voice - her life and career - her mental health - everything!!!!
And sadly her team are heartless cruel people who enjoy controlling her since she first came out. I feel bad for her 😔
A true prodigy & icon. Loved her since day one!
She’s a local here and she’s so humble . Thanks Brit
She was so excited about her album reaching number one, she called everyone except no mention of her dad.
listening to her makes me hypnotised... feeling calm... anyone else got this feeling? :)
Her accent has gone more and more "country" over the years. I guess that's just her real accent coming out. I can't believe how beautiful she is, I just can't stop staring at her. So soft spoken and intelligent. I really hope she can have power over her own life soon.
Britney is just the purest heart I love her BEYOND words ❤️
She really resembles Marilyn so much. Her features are so similar.
She was so sweet and well spoken. I can’t believe what everyone did to her.
She is my queen.... and she deserves the world and the universe 4 real i love this woman so much thank you #mtv
She’s so smart and she was so driven. The media and a culture that encouraged tearing her down ruined her.
I truly believe we are all connected to certain people even if we dont know them and in the case of artists thats why you feel drawn to them since the first time you saw them. Its like recognazing a part of you in them in that microsecond. Its been 20 years and NO OTHER speaks to my soul like her as a person. Its not even about her music anymore. ITS ABOUT HER She was the fucking sun and people took that away from her. I will always feel connected to Britney, my life has always been a reflection of whats shes going through at the moment and i hope she finds the happiness and PEACE she so rightfully deserves.
EXACTLY! Thanks for putting what I've been feeling since 1998 for her in such a beautiful way!
She really was the sun! Just a big ball of energy and pure joy!!! I think everybody always saw that in her and that’s what has drawn so many people to her... even if every once in a while they made fun of her for not being the brightest bulb. She was the sweetest and that’s what always mattered to most of her fans! I was 14 when she came out, so needless to say I experienced and consumed her career for the most part of my life and it was such a privilege to be alive at that time!
Same for me since 2000
It happens to so many. So many suns in the world and people suck the life out of them because their jealous
@@Faery_Witch422 omg i think the same about the sexual abuse and its scary because i KNOW i just KNOW one of them has been her father. Thats why she is so scared of him and gives him so much control
The way she talks about her music and wanting to express herself makes me think this is what she was born for. She is definitely a talented artist and dancer. Hope she finds even more joy in life. Love you Britney!
All this just makes me remember how big she was and her come up just remembering when she did slave 4 u and it was so edgy and shocking. She really single handed change the game of pop music alone
Her voice was so much deeper rhan what it is now
this woman is the one that make me realize sometime, you shouldn't be "too nice" to people. She is down to earth, nice and never shade anyone or even do a "payback" to everyone who shade and hate her. yet, media still trying to make her look bad after what they do to her :/
She's really noticeably different here. She's a lot more self-possessed and comfortable talking with the press. There's also a noticeable difference in her physical performances before and after her dark time. A change that deep is probably not just a reflection of the trauma she experienced. I used to work in the mental health field and I've seen permanent changes like that in people who had adult onset severe psychotic illnesses like bipolar and schizophrenia. Brain illnesses aren't anyone's fault, but severe stress triggers them.
Meredith Parker yes i also work in mental health and I agree: the fist big psychotic episode is like a bomb exploding inside your psyche ... it will never be the same again , what remains after its only the ruins of what it used to be I think this girl got adult onset schizophrenia
@@yoca78 I almost didn't want to say it, but I agree with you Carolina, it seems to me based on intuition and experience it's probably not bipolar. You don't see that hollowing out of the personality with just bipolar. My guess is schizoaffective, though, and that she's had ECT to control her depression with schizoaffective, avoiding weight gain from medications.
Or it's mkultra
@@lr5221 Mkultra was a real CIA program exposed by the Church Committee in 1975. The objective was to obtain intelligence from foreign enemies with mind control techniques, such as psychological torture and forced inducement of drugs. The research background was taken directly from Nazi research facilities. All of this is true and historically documented. The program had nothing to do with brainwashing celebrities. That is a myth and clearly illogical. Britney Spears was not kidnapped by the CIA and made mentally ill- unless, of course, Kevin Federline personally hired them so he could steal her children and fortune. /s ;-]
That's because the person we have now, is NOT Britney, at all. I think Britney is living life with her children. This person that we have doesn't look, or sound like Britney at all. This person is way too squeaky, and the face looks like a stunt double.
There are just some people (celebrities) that your soul just clicks with and Britney Spears is that person -for me personally. I've always been a fan of hers and I just hope she does whatever that makes her happy ♡
As a fan, it hurts straight to my gut watching this video. If we could only bring back time. 😢
So many rare tidbits thank you mtv. Please release more of these Britney interview :)
Damn Britney feelt that side eye at 2:59
Britney was the cutest little thing ever! She was a natural. It’s tragic the way she was and is treated. I wish her all the best getting her life back.
Britneeeey😍🔥
Britney especially young Britney has this like Ora of just this thing, that makes you love her, she also so stunning but has this sweet childlike innocence about her. If anyone was ment to be a star she was, glad she back at the very top
Britney showed the world how hot personality alone is
Most beautiful human alive inside and out
Sweet, honest, genuine, beautiful 😢
Hopefully justice is served with Britney. She worked and earned everything that she achieved
4:34 to think she was talking about the most iconic performance of all time
The first female Pop Star I was obsessed with as a child! She changed everything- the game, my life, our love for Pop music, etc, etc... Pop was stale until our Queen Britney flipped it all on its ass and gave us SO MANY iconic moments!! We love you so much, Britney! #FreeBritney
Well she's achieved her ambitions, her work still makes me smile and feel happy 20+ years on! Thank you Britney!
She gave so much to us. We must raise voices for her now. We love Brit 💜
I feel nostalgic😢❤️
I always like how Britney looks with her glasses she's adorable.
She was so beautiful still is but absolutely gorgeous. Her skin and hair was flawless.
FREE BRITNEY when she was free she was always so humble though she is such a big star.
This woman was used & abused 💖
guardianship absuse its whats happening right there and has been for over a decade. how can we help her get out and enjoy her freedom? she needs therapy and a life coach to heal her wounds and not medications that make her loose memories etc. the GP gets fooled by her insta posts, they dont know she doesnt have access to wifi let alone instagram and such a huge fanbase..if she had she could send something out there to get her out....her "team" clearly has an agenda...money and isolation!
That last video is exactly why I adore her. Her music never fails to give me energy and cheer me up
She ROCKS the body glitter and jewel stickers
Love her with the light brown/dark blonde hair.
This is how I remember her.... and I always will ❤💁🏼♀️💃🏼👩🏼👸🏼👱🏻♀️🧚🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️👩🏼🎤
I feel they had destroyed one of my best memories of my childhood. There won't be another Britney in a million years. She is my queen. I hope she finds freedom I don't care about her music anymore I want her to be happy.
