"When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip just like a…" So the topic today is Britney Spears and her devastatingly beautiful impact on pop music, not just on her generation's pop, but her continuing influence on the new pop girlies in town.
The "Toxic" hitmaker may not have released new music in years, but that doesn't mean that her influence is gone. In fact, she's as much in high demand now as she was when she was fresh off her debut album and controversial relationship with former *NSYNC member, Justin Timberlake.
So with no new music out and no whisper of a rumors of new music coming, why is she no. 6 on Billboard's greatest popstars of the 21st century list?
It's not always easy to be the bright shining star in a very competitive industry where everybody is struggling for a bigger piece of the cake.
Spears stole the heart of millions of fans with her angel voice, her catchy tunes, interesting performances and cheery personality. She was Hollywood's newest and best sweetheart in the 90s, until she wasn't.
Some of her most challenging years in the spotlight happened when she was still at the apex, with Billboard writing that, "media treatment of Spears ranged from patronizing to offensive — and how later in the '00s, discussion of her would turn downright cruel, with her public breakdown being used as cheap fodder for insulting headlines and bad late-night punchlines."
Her 2010s revival was marred by the conservatorship that controlled both her personal life and her career. Sadly, when she finally won her freedom back, she'd become so frustrated and disillusioned with the music industry that she quickly announced that she's quitting it forever.
Since then, she's penned a bestselling memoir, 'The Woman in Me,' where she detailed stuffs about her life that was safely guarded even from the press at the time.
One of the most shocking revelations came in the way of a Justin Timberlake dish, as the pop princess shared how Timberlake convinced her to abort their child when they dated in the early 2000s.
