Dammit, I can’t comment on my original comment. In any case, I see your point…I cringe to have my thoughts on love put into song for the world at 19. Hell, I’ll probably cringe at how I think NOW when I’m 39!

Oh Kim, Get some perspective on this (LOL). Being young, innocent and perhaps a little stupid is a blessing that we only get to experience for a brief part of our lives. I say, “Thank goodness for people who believe in Tinkerbell and everlasting love”. Sure, we all gain perspective over time – but don’t be surprised if you find that it eventually comes full circle.

Dammit, I can’t reply on the original comment. In any case, I do agree with you. I cringe thinking about my own thoughts about love and life at 19. I’m sure when I’m 39 I’ll cringe about how I think right now!

I’m glad to have you take up my comment section any day of the week. Feel free.

I totally see your argument. I’m sure the decisions I make at 29 will be questioned by my 39 year old self. I guess, though, when you sing about the turmoil of being 15, you better have some perspective on the issue for me to take you seriously.

I can see the escapism part of liking her. I don’t dislike her music, I just dislike the authority she claims over the subject matter.

I just want her to admit she doesn’t know everything. She seems like she thinks she knows everything.

We were all so stupid at that age. It wasn’t just you. Or me.

Actually, interestingly enough, I didn’t always like Britney. I used to despise her for years. Then I came around to the fact that she’s just peddling peppy pop music…not a lifestyle of anti-feminist feelings.

I guess the difference, for me, between Brit and Taylor is that Taylor writes her own songs and purports to know about things that she has no business knowing about at her age. Britney just sang songs written by others for the sake of gaining a dollar. There’s different things to be mad about at each one.

I don’t dislike her as a person, I just get irritated by her song lyrics and the way in which she delivers them at times. As a person she seems pretty together.
