I Don’t Matter

We live in a crazy world. Don’t believe me? Just have a look at the entertainment section of the magazines and newspaper you’re reading or skim the news on the Internet. For the past 6 months, every single day, you find a new article about Britney Spears. It doesn’t even matter if it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter if someone already wrote about it. All it matters is that Britney Spears has done something.

Enough already, leave her alone. I’m not saying this I like her or because I think that the press goes too far and invades her privacy … no … I’m just sick and tired of anything that has to do with Britney. We all know she has a chaotic lifestyle, we all knows she’s not mature enough to be a mother, we all know she’s going through divorce and a fierce custody battle. It was fun at first watching her fall from grace, now it’s just boring and really annoying.

Britney Spears is crazy, no doubt about it. It’s like she’s going through a late adolescence. She forgot to wear lingerie in public, she shaved her head, she attacked the paparazzi with an umbrella, she spent a month in rehab, she lost her children due to habitual drug and alcohol usage. Every little detail has been covered by the tabloids. After all these and an infamously disastrous performance at the VMAs, you might think her career it’s over. Well, not quite. Once again she defies all logic and proves there’s no such as bad publicity. Her new single “Gimme more”, it’s the best selling song on several digital music stores, and in just 3 days it got from #68 to #3 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I’m pretty sure that her new album will be a great commercial success, no matter how bad or good it’s going to be from an artistic perspective. Only in a sick society such a thing is possible … Britney Spears is now America’s favorite train wreck and at the same time America’s most successful artist. I’m sorry, but this is wrong, very wrong.
