But why is Britney Spears still fascinating?
For twenty years Britney Spears has gathered a community of loyal fans. How can it, even today, continue to move thousands of spectators to Las Vegas? Is it his music or ... rather his background that makes people addicted?
Like us, the first time you saw Britney Spears she wore two braids and sang between her high school lockers? Twenty years have passed since ... Baby One More Time and yet the singer still seems to have a special aura. How to explain that a singer whose musical career is losing momentum and who, honestly, does not seem to care about it continues to fascinate?
As many Britney as albums
Many have followed her since her beginnings: from America's Sweetheart to her sexy rebellion period without forgetting her dark year 2007. Maxime is 24 years old. He is "almost too young" to be a Britney fan, yet has followed the star since he was a child. When asked what makes the singer so unique, he responds with a smile, "For every period of her life, and every one of her albums, she's different. We've seen 9 Britneys, and the nine have fascinated us because they were whole ".
We followed Britney at the top, as at the bottom. We religiously collected his albums and put up his posters in our room. Then we blamed each other when we saw her wandering the streets of Los Angeles looking for an open barber to shave her head herself: following her escapades was no longer funny. We followed his more or less successful comeback, and, whatever the quality of his music, we continued to listen to him. Maxime develops:
She is human, we have seen her in all her forms and finally everyone can identify with her.
Britney Spears protects herself, but does not hide what others would never let go: dark circles, weight gain or loss or oily skin ... everything seems to be an effort for her, nothing seems "straightforward" as with some hyper-briefed stars. Britney is not a robotic Beyoncé who controls everything from A to Z. Britney is much more human, and therefore terribly endearing.
Britney Spears, this comeback in 2000
Britney Spears is that flavor of adolescence. This language which clicks against his ultra-white teeth and his lips too glossy on the words of Oops! ... I Did It Again. That childish voice in a molded body in an outfit from Clueless. But in the end, isn't that what we love about her?
In 2018, everything is now happening on social networks and Brit-Brit has taken this turn somehow. Maxime explains: "On Instagram, she's super old-fashioned, and she assumes! Her private life has been so exposed that she has chosen to regain control over her social networks by posting only staged videos or photos, no room. for improvisation ". With a smile, Maxime concludes: "Everything she does is iconic".
Eyes made up with a trowel, visible extensions ... Kitsch does not put off its fans, most of them nostalgic for the 90s. On the contrary, it fascinates them. It must be recognized that it brings together a particularly benevolent community. With kindness, they regularly tell her that she should change her hairdresser, or try a nude make-up in the comments ... But Britney Spears does not care! Release a new album, comply with the advice of his fans, follow the trends ... Brit-Brit does as he pleases. The young pop star is now a rock icon.
Britney Spears, nostalgia above all
At only 37 years old, Britney Spears has already found an almost inexhaustible vein: that of nostalgia. It is enough to observe his concerts during his residency in Las Vegas: it is his first songs that are highlighted and his stage outfits shout "Remember the 90's!" and that's what people love. Whether she sings in playback does not matter: we come to see her HER. Even if she gets her choreography wrong or wears outfits straight out of a 1999 music video.
The one who has suffered so much from the attention given to her seems to be destined to be worshiped. Whatever she does.
