小甜甜布兰妮
Introduction Britney Spears
Life and music career
Britney Spears was born in McComb, Mississippi and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana as a Southern Baptist. Her parents are Lynne Irene, a former elementary school teacher, and Jamie Parnell Spears, a former building contractor and chef. Bryan Spears is married to Jamie-Lynn's manager, Graciella Rivera. Spears was an accomplished gymnast, attending gymnastics classes until age nine and competing in state-level competitions. She performed in local dance revues and sang in her local Baptist church choir. Spears entered New York City's Professional Performing Arts School when she was eight. Spears's parents would often argue, and they eventually divorced in 2002
Musical style and performance
Spears is a soubrette, a soprano voice-type with no extensive coloratura, who possesses a two and half to three octave vocal range. Following her debut, Spears was credited with leading the revival of teen pop in the late 1990s. The Daily Yomiuri reported that music critics have hailed her as the most gifted teenage pop idol for many years, but Spears has set her sights a little higher-she is aiming for the level of superstardom that has been achieved by Madonna and Janet Jackson." Rolling Stone wrote: "Britney Spears carries on the classic archetype of the rock & roll teen queen, the dungaree doll, the angel baby who just has to make a scene." Rami Yacoub who co-produced Spears's debut album with lyricist Max Martin, commented, "I know from Denniz Pop and Max's previous productions, when we do songs, there's kind of a nasal thing. With N' Sync and the Backstreet Boys, we had to push for that mid-nasal voice. When Britney did that, she got this kind of raspy, sexy voice." Following the release of her debut album, Chuck Taylor of Billboard observed, "Spears has become a consummate performer, with snappy dance moves, a clearly real-albeit young-and funkdified voice ... "(You Drive Me) Crazy", Her vocal ability as well as her image and persona have often drawin comparison to her pop rival, Christina Aguilera. David Browne of Entertainment Weekly observed "Christina Aguilera may flash skin and belly button, but in her music and manner, she's too eager not to offend — she's a good girl pretending to be bad. Spears, however, comes across as a bad girl acting good ... Spears' artificial-sweetener voice is much less interesting than the settings, yet that blandness is actually a relief compared with Aguilera's numbing vocal gymnastics.[181] In contrast, Allmusic comments: "Like her peer Christina Aguilera, Britney equates maturity with transparent sexuality and the pounding sounds of nightclubs ... Where Christina comes across like a natural-born skank, Britney is the girl next door cutting loose at college, drinking and smoking and dancing and sexing just a little too recklessly, since this is the first time she can indulge herself.[182] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine notes, "The disparity between Aguilera and Spears can't be measured solely by the timbre and octave range of their voices ...popularity has never reached the fever pitch of Britney's.
Like other dance-oriented pop stars, it has been widely reported that Spears lip-syncs in concert. Noting on the prevalence of lip-syncing, Los Angeles Daily News reported "in the context of a Britney Spears concert, does it really matter? Like a Vegas revue show, you don't go to hear the
小甜甜布兰妮疯了吗？
失去孩子监护权 “小甜甜”布兰妮真疯了
日前，布兰妮被警方强行抬上担架送往医院时，还向着记者微笑
布兰妮在发型屋亲手剃头 闹剧：夺子未果精神失常
布兰妮与凯文的长子肖恩普雷斯顿目前2岁，次子杰顿詹姆士1岁。上周四晚上，由于布兰妮坚拒将孩子送还给前夫凯文，并把自己和小儿子杰顿詹姆士反锁在浴室内。警方不得不进行干预，最后布兰妮的助手AlliSims利用锤子把浴室门打开。警方将布兰妮强制从家中送进了医院。警官阿基莱称并无证据证明布兰妮服药，但她没有解释为何当时警方召来了医疗护理人员，“我们没有发现她受到什么身体上的伤害，而且她很配合警方。”最后她表示，布兰妮并不是因为争夺孩子监护权一事被捕，“没有人触犯法律”。
经医生诊断，证实布兰妮未有饮酒或服用药物，故相信她是失常，需再观察72小时，以进行“精神错乱”评估，并入住精神病房，由看护看着，以防她自杀。不过，有小报指布兰妮是装疯，目的只为抢回自爆怀孕的妹妹杰米林恩的风头。
律师：没有人是胜者
之前因为布兰妮屡次无故缺席监护权听证会，法庭已经将两个孩子的监护权暂时判给了凯文，并且限制布兰妮的探视权。
而针对这次的夺子闹剧，法庭于上周五下午紧急举行了一场非公开性的听证会，凯文没有出席，他的律师马克文森特卡普兰离开法庭时表示：“我对发生的这些事感到很不开心。在这场战争中，没有人是胜者。”
当时法律专家史蒂夫克龙就预测布兰妮将因为自己的反常行为面临法庭的制裁。“我猜她将有一段时间看不到自己的孩子了。”克龙表示，除了进一步减少布兰妮与孩子在一起的时间，法官别无选择，“至少在她得到帮助之前。她目前明显是一个精神上存在很大问题的人”。
心理医师：她怎么可能还正常
凯文的律师卡普兰表示，布兰妮这次被送进医院后，他曾前往探视，但拒绝透露布兰妮、凯文以及两个孩子目前的详情。一手将女儿布兰妮送入演艺圈的林恩斯皮尔斯也拒绝透露女儿目前的状况，她上周五接受采访时仅表示在为布兰妮祈祷。
婚姻和家庭心理医师鲁斯施赖伯曼认为，布兰妮“需要大量的帮助，来找出她行为失常的原因”，“她精神分裂了吗？她是否抑郁？是不是产后抑郁症？是毒品或者酒精的影响？她被太多人关注，生活速度快得惊人，怎么可能还是个正常人？” 宗禾
布兰妮是个坏妈妈
还记得小甜甜布兰妮斯皮尔斯么？19岁那一年，她借“Baby,onemoretime”红透全球，不过所有少年成名者都会在未来星途遭遇挫折这一魔咒，自2003年开始缠绕着布兰妮。进入2007年后，有关布兰妮的丑闻渐入高潮，以致一年到头，全美媒体娱乐盘点都将她纳入其中。
邋遢
布兰坭以邋遢出名，几乎地球人全知道她能赤着脚去洗手间，近年更加不可救药，在个人形象上，一条道走到黑。谁也不知道她在过去一两年间，究竟长了多少肉，我们只知道她腰上的救生圈一日大似一日。
剃头
如果发胖始于自我放纵，那么剃发，意味更显复杂，那似乎可解读为一种绝望。2007年2月，她在美国洛杉矶的Tarzana美发沙龙，毅然拿起剃刀给自己剃作光头。
离婚
剃发之后是离婚。作为一个拥有上亿身家的好莱坞热门话题人物，布兰妮离婚大战的对手是个被称为“吃软饭的男人”，可以想见以“财产之争”为主题的这场离婚，当是如何的迂回精彩。回顾其中故事，我们只能说，好莱坞编剧罢工，怕个啥？布兰妮日日上演的美国式离婚，就是现成的肥皂剧。布兰妮最终在2007年3月，同意支付凯文千万分手费。如今，布兰尼的新欢好似走马灯，忽而是监制，忽而是摄影师，忽而是酒店服务员，最近又是狗仔。
夺子
事情到这里还没有完。紧接上演第二大战役：夺子之战。她在争夺两个儿子抚养权时的种种表现，不愧美国娱乐媒体年终要刻薄地将其列为十大蠢蛋之首：与母亲公开决裂、毒品测试呈阳性、曾经在孩子面前吸毒、带着孩子开车闯红灯、不让孩子睡觉、让孩子吃含有毒品的棒棒糖等。这曾经的两口子，谁比谁好点儿，谁比谁更合适成为父母呢？美国人民与美国法律最终认定，好吧，凯文也挺坏的，但好过布兰妮。 王文
布兰妮的好莱坞榜样
如今的好莱坞，要找坏女孩，一抓一大把，帕里斯希尔顿、林赛罗翰、还有新生代的，年仅19岁的R&B小天后蕾哈娜，同样19岁的青春偶像瓦妮莎，论话题她们可不少。这些童星在长大成人的过程中，没有人告诉她们该做什么，或者给她们积极的建议，或者正确的支持。
民意调查：“你认为小甜甜布兰妮堕落的原因是什么？”43％的人选了“成名太早，性格稚嫩无法承受压力”。经历了恶梦似的2007年，2008年的布兰妮将会如何？全美狗仔仍在关注。但愿当一个巨星已成为一个全民消遣时，她还能拥有比她的过去更美好的未来。我们来看看好莱坞“坏女孩”蜕变成魅力女性的榜样。
