Reader Response #5

This is what I learned up to know, after reading 218 pages.

Retell

The 2003 MTV Video Music Awards were marked by a very special performance by Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The trio performed Madonna's song: ''Like a Virgin'', with Britney and Christina dressed up in a barely there version of a wedding dress, and Madonna dressed up as the groom. The special event was when Madonna leaned to Britney and shared an open-mouth kiss. The kiss let the audience talking for a long time, forgetting about the kiss shared by Madonna and Christina.

Later on, it was revealed that Madonna was a one of Britney's fan. Surprising, since Britney was one of Madonna's fan too. As Madonna and Britney build a deeper friendship, Madonna introduces Britney to Kabbalah, which is a form of Jewish mysticism.

Britney released her fourth album : In the Zone on November 18, 2003. The album debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard 200 album chart. Britney's position as a top solo female artist was just even more reinforced.

It was now the Christmas vacations for Britney, who hung out with her family and old friends, including her old friend Jason Alexander. Over the vacations, Britney and Jason got closer and closer together, even to the point of getting married not long after New Year's Eve. However, the wedding only lasted 55 hours, since Britney's family was against the surprising wedding, and it would of interfere with Britney's job too much. However, that wedding was part of history as one  half of the shortest celebrity marriage ever.

In March 2004, Britney started a new tour for her album In the Zone : Onyx Hotel. It was also the start of a new relationship, with Kevin Federline. By the middle of her tour, Britney and Kevin decided to get married, and this time, Britney's family had to meet the groom before the wedding, which would explain why Britney's family wasn't against that wedding. The wedding took place in October, but it almost didn't happen. After the wedding Britney and Kevin bought a house in Malibu. At almost the same time, Britney's new perfume, Curious, was launched.

Relate

Now, Britney and I have almost no qualities that relate us. The only common points between us would be our talent for singing, and our ability of keeping the rhythm very well. Opposite to Britney, I didn't marry anybody, and I don't sleep with old friends that I find hot looking. We just seem to grow further and further apart in our resemblance.

Reflect

I think that Britney is now more comfortable with the celebrity life and all the media fallowing her around. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that everybody freaks out on what Britney wears, when nobody cares about what normal people wear. Britney is a normal human, like us. She should be capable of wearing what she wants without hearing any complaints.
