bwaahhhhh!
Britney is not a great technical singer. She does have a distinctive voice. By that I mean, you can tell immediately it's her once you hear one of her songs. That is a good thing to have for a pop singer.
Britney is a fantastic dancer. She has great energy on stage. Anyone who says she's not a good dancer is blinded by either jealously, hate or sheer ignorance. If anything, her dancing is her strongest point. As far as female entertainers go, only Janet (Miss Jackson if your nasty)is clearly better.
Britney is a good looking girl. When she's all made up nice and proper, (and not chugging down foamy coffee milkshakes) Britney is pretty damned hot.
Add in some hype and promotion, a couple of swedish pop song writers, and you have a superstar! She came along at a time when the world needed a pretty pop girl. It's really quite simple. I don't understand why people hate her so much. She is what she is. She's an entertainer, a **29**. So she's not the second coming of Mozart or MJ or Prince. Britney isn't whats wrong with the music industry; you may not like her product, but someone is buying it. Try blaming them instead.
