What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Britney's song lyrics (which can be heard through song clips on the site) are uninspiring and are based around the theme of losing control. Provocative photos of Britney at twenty-something are scattered throughout.


What's it about?

The opening picture on the site sets the tone: Britney reveals herself as she pulls aside heavy, purple velvet curtains. Behind her, a large window frames an unfocused landscape of pink and fuchsia. Britney appears somewhat shell-shocked, as if she's asking herself, "Where am I, how did I get here, and why am I dressed this way?" Barely covering her tan are black briefs and a skimpy black leather jacket that is unzipped almost down to her navel. She's outrageous, out of control, and she sings about it all as you browse the site. But there's more! In the Official Britney Spears' Press area, we see numerous photos of "Nobody's Angel" herself, in various states of deshabille, including a Rolling Stone cover shot that looks like it should have been in Playboy instead. While you're downloading chat icons, reading about an upcoming tour, or perusing the Britney Store (a Britney wall clock is $49.95), you can listen to the jukebox clips of Britney's latest album.


Is it any good?

 

Lots of negative messages here, so parents may not want their children (even young tweens) browsing this site. Here's a sample of some of Britney's lyrics: "I don't really wanna be a tease / Would you undo my zipper, please / Uh uh, please don't talk." And here's another: "I was shaking my ass in the streets this morning / Just walked in and it's early morning / Passed out on the couch I'm yawning."

To its credit, the site also offers information on The Britney Spears Foundation and its work with young children in the performing arts. But somehow the juxtaposition of competing messages here doesn't quite fit.

Please listen
I'm sorry, but Britney, you need to look at what your doing, sit down and think about it! Your disappointing millions of your fans! Wht happened to the old Britney we all loved? You wouldn't want your own children looking at this, sorry but its not a good example to set!! Britney, your loosing it and reviews are going DOWN! Please please please Britney, get help and release a new single. You need to clean up, shape up, and get yourself together! I understand you've been through a rough time but YOUR making it rough for yourself no one else is doing it for you! Yes its good your getting back on the 'partying' scene and your ready to go back out there looking GREAT???? But take it in small doses, your more famous for all he wrong reasons! So please, Britney if you want to regane all your fans trust, just think about your own children and how they feel about looking at you in this state! So Britney, for your own sake, PLEASE go to the gym! Put on some clothes! Get your head together! and stop dissapointing your fans! Please Britney I use to love you but your bending the rules and loosing it please Britney for your own sake and ours STOP! I'm sorry for being so harsh but she needs to be told and it needs to be heard! BRITNEY GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Britney needs some clothes!
Unless you wanna see just about teen porn, I would not suggest this site to anyone. Unless you are into her suggestive songs and moves, then she's all yours. But for the rest of the planet, Britney put some clothes on girl! You're naked.
