I have sooo seriously misjudged the music of Britney Spears.
F**k NIrvana!! Buncha f**k-up-ness-glorifying posers!!
(save Dave Grohl and Chris Novoselic)
This is why I'm glad I joined this forum: not so much because it's particularly enlightening (at least not currently in the my-getting-good-info : for-my-time-spent-here ratio), but it gets me on some interesting internet surfs. (For example, were it not for the pronoun thread —though I started that in Literotica—I wouldn't have gotten acquainted with the splendid renditions performed by Lez Zeppelin, as well as a number of YouTube videos with merely 1000 views or fewer, but can be worth more than those with 1000x more.)
I was thinking something like "Oh Britney Spears, so sad how she must have become, some 30-something wash-out (whose music and images I even see on xHamster videos (another site I joined—and spend at least 5% of my time there looking for music videos and the like), maybe puking up some cheap liquor in some alley, that perhaps she got so desperate to pay back creditors she might have done a number of covers—like Sid Vicious's in his attempt at She's Something Else—including a possible cover of Nirvana. Unlikely, but the chance was worth maybe a minute of searching.
So as a lark I keyed in "Britney Spears Nirvana" on YT search and I get this: (though it might have been "Nivana")
My. Sweet. Lord.
This is perhaps better than all but a few Nirvana songs I've heard!
I mean, it's so good, that while the Nirvana element perhaps gives the song some strength and edge, the Britney element was the most prominent—even more than the Nirvana-Destiny's Child mash.
I had to check out her actual song.
H o l y F * * k!!
It just might be better than anything—at least at present, and discounting the context of the times—by Johnny Lydon, Henry Rollins, or indeed, Nirvana. (Though perhaps this opinion of mine might change in time—maybe 30 hours).
You know people, I had this fantasy years ago that Britney Spears might pull an Alanis Morrissette: do pop songs of some significance but largely not worth it after a few listens, then before she turned 20—boiiiiinnngggg!—the music industry tosses her like some used—let's say—wad of bubblegum, then she spends a few years in the woods, and then becomes a mature and very successful talent of such insight and excellence.
Now I'm not saying that this fantasy has been realized: Don't Keep Me Waiting is no All I Really Want, and certainly not relative to its time in that comparison, but Fawk!, it is uncommon that I have an evening of such revelation!
(also nice how it sounds like it's going a bit acoustic around 2:34)
Billboard ranked her as the eighth biggest artist of the 2000s decade.[4] One of the world's best-selling music artists, Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide and more than 36.9 million digital singles and 33.6 digital albums in the United States["] [5] In the United States, Spears remains the fourth best-selling female album artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era,[6] as well as the best-selling female albums artist of the 2000s.[7][8][9] In 2004, she launched a perfume brand with Elizabeth Arden, Inc., from which sales exceeded US$1.5 billion, as of 2012.[10]
Morissette assumed creative control and producing duties for her subsequent studio albums, including Under Rug Swept (2002), So-Called Chaos (2004), and Flavors of Entanglement (2008). Her eighth studio album and most recent to date, Havoc and Bright Lights, was released in 2012. Morissette has sold more than 75 million records worldwide and has been dubbed the "Queen of Alt-Rock Angst" by Rolling Stone.[8][9][10][11]
It's better than Metric's Stadium Love that came a few years before—making something that was already good even better:
another song better than 92.5% of whatever Nirvana wrote or any video they ever made.
(Of course such a bold statement of mine might be unwarranted.)
The lesson for me here is that I was wrong to so harshly judge Britney, but so correct to ignore much of celebrity media. This is also true with assumptions about Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Dolly Parton, which leads to my fifth unspoiled video:

The average office meeting is pretty good answer to that question.
