talking about Britney's weight and it effects on girls not ok. talking about how Beyonce wishes she was born Latina is ok. the difference is?!? The difference is the Beyonce thread was about her comments saying she "wishes she was born Latina." That was the focus. This thread is about Britney Spears' performance -- it's NOT about some obscure psychoanalysis of the media calling her "out of shape" and how young girls are going to be confused to the point where they are going to suffer from bulimia (which is the crap you're introducing in an attempt to derail the thread). What part of that you seem to have problems understanding, I don't know. That, and your unwillingness to create a thread to address a totally unrelated tangent to the thread at hand is the problem I have.

I'm sure there are plenty of fans on that level for other artists. Unfortunately I'm more familiar with the MJ types which is why I put MJ and not every other artist that exists. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

I'm pretty sure the "Create New Topic" link works on your Windows browser like it does on mine.

[Edited 9/10/07 20:18pm] No i understand, the performance sucked and no one debated that, but when the thread was starting the focus was never on what she did or even talked about the song, it talked about her outfit and her look. I mean thats just the way it is, and im not even a Britney fan but crap comments like that just have to be addressed. So if someone posts about Rihanna's performance and says 'God she sucks, her forehead is like some sort of creature from Star Trek' no one is going to say HEY thats not an issue what about the song? But lets be real music is almost never discussed with anyone it seems. Janet Jackson we talk about how much weight she lost, a Mariah thread gets posted about music and someone posts BOGUS photos of her with a distorted stomach, thats acceptable. I suggest this thread be closed since it could have been limited to one post that said the performance sucked and so did everyone else on the show. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

 I have reported a couple of threads, including the ones on Michael Jackson. But it would be nice if the more moderators took action, in particular with threads that are active for a long time.

Call me nuts, but I never found Sh!tney that sexy until I saw her ass jiggling in that outfit. A little meat on the bones is fine with me. I'll take Sh!tney(minus the nutty behavior, the drinking and smoking) over that scarecrow Hilton ho any day. | |

ehuffnsd said: PurpleCharm said: Is that the responsibility of the media to shelter people's children. I would hope that there would open communication between the hypothetical girl and her hypothetical parents. Parents should raise their children their morals and values and not allow the media to do it. how many teens have honest and open discussions with their parents? and yes as a society we need to take a look at how our ideal of beauty is affecting people. why do you think certain cities are now placing bans on what type of models can be used in runway shows. I understand what you are saying, but my issue is with you and others lumping fat and elephant comments with comments about her not being fit enoug,h to wear nothing but a bra and panties. Show me where anyone said that Britney should not have PERFORMED simply because she didn't have abs of steel. The overwhelming majority of the comments in this thread have been about Britney not having the type of body that can pull off wearing nothing more than a bra and panties. There are a host of other sexy outfits that she could have worn that would have been more flattering to her new figure. I don't see why that is so hard to understand. | |

http://www.youtube.com/wa...p%2Ecom%2F [Edited 9/10/07 20:01pm] W...T...F...!!! Look at what Britney Spears has done to her poor fans. They are all heartbroken trying to defend this girl and she's probably at the bar right now getting smashed and not giving two shits about any of these people. It's extremely sad to be that obsessed with another human being. Okay, even I know that she just did some mini tours a couple months ago, so it hasn't been years since she last performed, but it has been years since she had a good performance, so I guess that's what he is saying; but, she's been on a stage in the last couple months prior to the VMAs. Lastly, the divorce, kids, custody battle, her aunt dying, other drama...she's not the only person on the planet that has had to go through hard times. Man, I love Prince, but I'm nowhere near this crazy. There's a fine line between being a fan and being a fanatic (he/she obviously crossed that line a long time ago). There's an even finer line between being a fanatic and stalker. Run Britney, RUN!Prince Rogers Nelson
