Do you guys really think they conjure their power from the same source as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother and Glinda the Good Witch, etc(.)?

That's just the way I like to view magic in fairy tales, excluding, of course, instances where these things are explained further into satanism.
I really hope you grow out of that. She is so boring when compared to just about any other female pop music figure of the last 40 years. Yeah, that's right, that weirdo who sang "You Light Up My Life" (Debby Boone) is more interesting on most days than Twitney. Her and her flavorlessness is literally the reason everyone lost respect for pop, dance, and club music over the last 12 years. Thanks to her, Goldfrapp - FAR MORE deserving of the insane amounts of worship Spears gets - have practically been relegated to obscure status (in America, at least). I honestly don't know what's more sad, Britney trying to pass off something like "Till the World Ends" as anything but trash or her fans for honestly being worried about her during the time when she made her best freaking music. And even then, any female performer with a baby could have performed "Piece of Me" (one of her few lyrically rewarding and intriguing tracks). As I'm sure I've said before when you brought her up- she does none of the work in the production of her music. She phones in her vocal performances and dances the videos and tours out. Not a single thing about her equals art.rs_milo_whatever wrote:And as for being looked down on for our interests. I love Britney Spears to the point where I am still obsessed with her. I win.
Alright, you were talking about witches. Did I not say there were exceptions to my way of thinking? I was talking about magic in general.
As for Miss. Spears. I really will not make an effort to defend her. If her 13 years of remaining relevant and putting out some of the best tours and making the best videos while being one of the only two pop stars who have been known to out-dance her back up dancers doesn't do the trick, nothing I say will be able to convince you. She does a lot more than you think though, she's been noted by several music writers to be the only pop star who will let them keep the writing credit even when she does put work into it as supposed to everyone else who just add a couple of "oohs" and boast about their lyrical genius. I strongly believe that performing the way she does (I will admit, the word "did" applies to her more nowadays), and sex appeal is a form of art. Churning out generic/ecclectic music, followinf trends, and wearing outlandish outfits seem to be the only way a person gets any respect these days. Britney is one of those "haters will always hate" things in the world. Like it's been said here, there are negative bandwagons that will help people feel like they belong or feel smarter than others; I simply choose not to be part of them whether I like something or not. It's really easy to say someone does nothing without fully knowing about them. "Talent-less" is such a poor description about celebrities, because as soon as someone doesn't like them, they become talent-less to them. I dislike Justin Bieber, but I don't have the talent to do what he does. I dislike GaGa, but I don't have the talent to do what she does. Just like I doubt you would be able to do backflips and bellydance and pole dance and hip-hop dance and dance technically and sing; because contrary to what people believe, she can sing, it just takes discovering the instances where isn't trying to sell sex and dance music.
And whatayaknow, I totally took the effort of explaining myself.
