reality check people, Britney fans are past the teenage years at this point, her following now is not the kids that hung her poster on the wall from BOP magazine, Britney is going to be 28, and her average fan is about 23-27 and many are around 30 or so, and trust me, they go see movies that are PG13 and talk shit much much much worse and have more explicit sexual tone, so jump of this indecent bullshit, does anyone even give a shit about the RADIO anymore, its a thing that is not even relevant anymore.

the lyrics are very crappy, and seemed to be just an excuse to use that chorus

I explained it further up.

She's spelling out the word "fuck" F-U-C-K me.

If she's under contract, there's always a limit to what she can and cannot do.

There's a BIG rumour they were threatening to stop visitations with her babies if she didn't go on tour or promote the album.

With the conservatorship as strict as it is, and with her dad as seemingly weak as he is against her boss ("It was meant to be just a fun thing for her to do in her spare time...now here we are making a video") who knows?

From OK! Magazine :


Britney is featured as the main cover story on this week's issue of OK! magazine, in which the mag claims Britney "voluntarily" gave up time with her kids in order to tour.

"Last fall, as The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour was being organized, Britney's camp discovered that because of the star's troubled history, they could not purchase insurance to cover her tour unless she was still under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie Spears. Until that point, the plan was for the conservatorship to be lifted on December 31, followed immediately by Britney, 27, going into family court with a petition to regain custody of Preston and Jayden. But "the insurance situation changed everything."

So they're trying to make us believe the only reason the conservatorship, in which her father is receiving upwards of $16,000 a month (as well as millions in lawyer fees and the $200,000 she owes her brother Bryan), was made permanent is due to INSURANCE for a tour??? Just doesn't add up.

And on top of that, they say she "voluntarily" chose her TOUR over her KIDS? I'll bet you a million bucks if a paparazzo on the street asked Britney that question, she'd undoubtedly choose her children!

The article also features a very lengthy interview from Britney's former manager Johnny Wright.

Jamie Spears severed ties with the magazine shortly after this article came out. Yep, they had a deal before this article which means he most likely severed it because they revealed the truth.

Britney was seen crying after leaving a meeting with her judge just before she toured Europe and Japan. Why would that be?

Thank You!

I'm almost 19, have been listening to Britney since I was 9, I don't need to hear any more cheesy pop from her when I know she's now capable of mature pop like Unusual You, And Then We Kiss and Touch of my Hand.

But you'd be surprised how many fans ARE happy with this result. Of course they're too dumb to see the negative side (radio shunning it, as Z100 announced they would today) but most of em really love the song and think it'll be huge. Ugh.

purplesweat said:

Z100 is not shunning it. They said they are dying to play it, but need a clean edit, which the label guarantees it will provide them. This song is going to be a smash at CHR.

the children are doomed!!!

That doesn't make sense. It sounds like her father is manipulating her, not the label.

meow85 said:

Her father does whatever her label wants as evident by his "and here we are making a video!" quote and Britney not answering when the interviewer asked if she was ready to make a comeback.

Okay I just tortured my ears,and I still don't really hear it. I hear "If You Seek Amy". but I guess it is supposed to sound like Fuck Me,because the lyrics don't make sense the way the are written


love me hate me
say what you want about me
but all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek amy

take the "if you" out,and it would make more sense.

Isn't it possible that a good chunk of Britney's problems come from being a child star and having parents that pushed and continue to push her into things?

IMO she needs to take time off again and come back only WHEN and IF she wants to, and let no one else dictate her decisions.

The Parents Television Council is warning parents about the Britney Spears song "If U Seek Amy" and urging radio stations not to broadcast it because the nonprofit organization believes it "would violate the broadcast indecency law" if aired between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Saying the title phrase quickly out loud produces a sound akin to spelling out the F-word, said PTC president Tim Winter. "There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy," he said of the track, the third single from Spears' new Jive album, "Circus."

"It's one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it's an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly-owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience," Winter says.


Founded in 1995, the PTC describes itself as "a nonpartisan education organization advocating responsible entertainment." Jive was unavailable for comment on the PTC's advisory.

The controversy isn't stopping U.S. radio from playing "If You Seek Amy." Six top 40 stations have the song in rotation this week, enough to place the track at No. 92 on the Billboard Pop 100 chart. Leading the pack is WFLZ-Tampa, Fla., which has played it 19 times.

"We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines," program director Tommy Chuck told Billboard.com, adding that WFLX plays a Jive-created edit of the song that changes "Seek" to "See" as well as a jokey version in which morning host MJ shouts his name every time the word "Amy" appears.

Digitally, "Amy" has sold 107,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

I have heard songs worse then this especialy with "FUCK YOU" or anything of the sort in it.
This is tame compared to alot of Prince lyrics I have seen and heard(Dont say that again unless you want Tipper Gore to come back from the 80's )

I bet if those same parents step back take a look at EVERYTHING whats on tv, radio, other songs, video games, etc.etc. etc. They would realize hey there is far worse shit then this to make a issue of.

As a parent myself, I find this stupid and beyond belief.Not to mention funny as hell

I will laugh my ass off IF these parents pursue this with a lawsuit cause of the suggestive lyrics suggesting things like : fuck off, or anything bad pertaining to the song character Amy doing something bad.

I also see thesethose parent(s) as attention seekers trying to get fame and glory like the ones sueing major bands for songs saying that the song "made" their kid commit suiicide, or told them to go out and kill people. When will they learn? Never imo. They have to realize it starts/started IN THE HOME not with song lyrics. Take Prince lyrics for example if we all followed him we all be fucking sex addicts with NO life what so ever.

Can we say parents that have NO life?

To make a long story short, I see history repeating itself.

(goes and gets Tipper Gore repellant)

Wait...you do know the song isn't saying "fuck off" it's spelling out "fuck me" right?

If I were a parent, I wouldn't want my little kid singing that either.

vainandy said:

i remember when the whole PMRC thing was hot and the stickers first started appearing on albums, it was a badge of coolness if a new album had a parental advisory sticker on it. it's true - nothing makes kids want to hear "harmful matter" more than being told it's "harmful matter". but does that ever soak through anyone's thick skulls? naaaah.

purplesweat said:

Um.. yeah and you completely missed my point of the post

But yet little kids are listening to far worse shit then the words "fuck me". Especially listening to Prince. A little kid say around the age of 2-6 maybe wont KNOW what the term means anyway if they do parents should start explaining to them it isnt very nice( as stated above it starts IN THE HOME).

Lets be real here, they hear/see shit far more worse on the movies/music they watch/listen then hear "fuck me" in a song. They even hear it on the playground at school from friends and IF high schoolers are around as well,sad but true.

Do you know what Tipper Gore even did in the 80's? If not, please look it up you can thank her for the lovely black and white labels with "Parental Advisory" on it. Dont forget to ask about what she made her kids do with the Purple Rain soundtrack.

If you think a kid isnt going to listen to a song or artist cause of a sticker or certain words,many are wrong. Yes, they have ways of a family member/adult( or even a older friend of age) buying that same song/cd/dvd/movie/game they want without a parent around. I know kids can get around that "Must be (insert certain age here) to obtain this material" type bullshit.

Can someone just kill radio already, its not even relevant at this point. Its bought and sold so much now, i cant believe that they still have "request" lines. All i can say is, dont waste your time calling a station or emailing them to get something played, this is why i laugh when artists do this shit with their fans to petition for radioplay. The check is cut, and what the label wants played GETS PLAYED, DJ's are nothing more than zombies at this point, no choices on what they can play at all.

toots said:

Okay, lol, you kept saying "fuck off" and talking about "amy" there is no Amy, it's just Britney.

EmeraldSkies said:

Don't think of it gramatically, think of her spelling out f-u-c-k-me then you'll get it.

I would have never heard lyrics like this as a young child. Probably because my mom would have clued in before she played me Britney's song..
