I buy Britney's CDs and I will buy the new one. It will be the only original CD Ive bought this year. She is pretty popular in Asia, Europe, here and in North America too. Maybe its you that dont see the TV/listen to the radio that havent noticed how big she is. Not musically, just generally popular.
She is not popular here at all. She was few years ago, among 12 years old kids.
I'm not sure, where did you get from those news, that she sold more records than Madonna in ten years??
Anyway, you shloudnt compare those two, cause there is nothig to compare, there is huge precipice between those two.
fabi, if you would like to compare Britney to someone, you should find someone on her level.

So if she is generally popular, not musically - that's the worst thing for her.
If she wants to be a singer, she must be popular musically, not as anything else.

Yeah well said.

This is like saying, what is better? Being the biggest or best artist in the world? Obviously being the biggest gets you more money and fame, but generally it does not last. Being the best means you're really talented and generations to come will keep on admiring you.

I can't imagine Britney sitll being liked at 50+. Look at the stones, they're 60+ and still rocking!

Talent is immortal; fame just goes away as fast as it came.

Hmm... I see it in this way: the biggest artists are also the best and otherwise: the best are also the biggest.
People who are great musically, has sth interesting to say in music, record many albums, their albums are good, and they will be remembered by people ever.
Big names, big artists, big groups.
And they all are famous, not popular.

Cause imo: fame is sth what will last long, for decades, and it comes it pair with respect to your musical achievement.
Popularity is here and now, shorter or longer, a year or few years, and you must try hard, to achieve fame. And plus popularity is cheap.
Fame is immortal, popularity dies after short time.

Not necessarily. Once I heard someone saying regarding an artist or group: "Are they famous cos they're good; or are they good cos they're famous"

I like that train of thought cos I think it's true. Cos you do become famous if you're good, but you also are thought to be 'good' or 'talented' if you're famous which like in Britney's case, is not the case.

Glenn, have you read rest of my post, not only that first sentence? ;):D

Biggest=best=famous - see it now?
So they are biggest, best, famous cause they are good and talented.

Read what I said about fame and being famous, it comes only to best=biggest groups artists.

Britney has just popularity, NOT fame.

But you can say that popularity is relative to fame so one thing brings the other. Even though Michael Jackson writes shite music nowadays, he's still popular and famous.

I blame all of this on the damn publicists :D

Oh of course, popularity is kinda way to fame.

Yeah, sometimes they are like predators, they can make big thing from one little thing, and waiting all time for fresh meat.

    Now you're saying Britney isnt popular? Jesus Christ people the girl has been in ALMOST all American magazine covers these last three months. Its just like you said with Michael Jackson, he's like on bankrupt and he's still popular. If she wasnt popular then why is she one of the top 3 search names on the Internet?

    Whoever wants to check out Britneys new album, Ill send you some cool tracks so you can see that she's changed. Just tell me.

    But what about that in the magazines? That means NOTHING.

    And worst.... North american magazines.

    She is just doing her usual marketing campaign. Thats all......

    You will know fabiana... just lets chec how long her album will be in the radi´s...and lets see if any of her new songs will beat his lucky shot "hit me baby one more time"......when that happens... then youll come to me and say that she is now "more popular".

    And BTW..she is miles away of being like madonna. Madonna have done a very weird.. but succesfull career. She is mother now...and in the 40´s, ahs is still famous, and not neccesarily because she have big boobs. Madonna is already a legend in pop music, an icon that marked an era in the genre.....
    Briteny is just a madonna wannabe..like a lot. So dont even compare both like Vit said.

    And if some Brit´s albums beat the records of madonna...thats just because the good marjetin campaign she had... we are talking about 13 years after madonna´s best time.

    And you are onfused.... you think that if she is in all the magazines and slogans... she have to be good?? come on!!!! stop buying those cheap shots, and start to realñize that a good arkeing artisit is not neccesarily someone with talent.

    Arturo, if you didnt know, the North American market is the HARDEST to reach and to be number one. Her song is already number one here and in some parts of the world too. And Im not saying her records/songs are popular, Im saying Britney as a person.

    It doesnt matter if you're North American or not, that market is the hardest one to get. And yeah, time will tell. It sucks that the CD was leaked so early.
