Legacy?

"Spears' role in pop music has been largely disputed." -- Yet in the paragraph there is no mention of a dispute of any sort.

I've taken the sentence out. It doesn't say what her role is (for example, it could be "Spears' role as a diva in pop music has been..."). If the role isn't defined, it can't be disputed. Or undisputed. Gone.—Chidom   08:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

"inspiring several fashion crazes and fads, such as the use of low-rise jeans lower back tattoos, navel piercings, and the whale tail among young women." -- Weren't these already popular before Britney? Surely she may have added some popularity to these things, but she hardly "inspired" them.

She brought alot of those fads back, I think the biggest fad that she started was the belly shirt or cropped T-shirt because they became very very popular when she started wearing the in the early 90's.

Unsourced material

This is some unsourced material I'll put here in case I can find a source, or someone else can

""I believe that you marry in your heart and that means much more than a piece of paper. If I don't feel it there, than nothing else matters. You can write anything down on paper, but the real truth is love." Originally, Spears refused to have a prenuptial agreement, but her manager, Larry Rudolph, and her family insisted she do so and she subsequently fired Rudolph after the wedding."

I had seen on E! True Hollwyood Story: Britney and Kevin, that Britney mutually agreed with Larry Rudolph on firing him. I didn't see anything about prenutpial, I am unsure of that. Myrockstar 14:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Merging of paragraphs

I have moved alot of content into her bio, alot of the things from controversy I merged it into the appropriate sections since other of her controversial issues could be find there. I also moved someo of the facts from "Career Achievements" into the bio, I deleted that section. I also deleted the "politics" and "religioin" sections, and moved the content into appropriate areas since they were only small parapgraphs and seemed more controversial rather than something personal.

Just a question

Here's something I have noticed lately. If "Brittany Spears" redirects to this page, then how come "Bubba Brister" doesn't redirect to the former National Football League quarterback Bubby Brister? I figure that both names are close enough to the actual names, so I would like some consistency here.--Desmond Hobson 17:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

make a redirect then. its easy.Karaveks voice 17:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Thats probably because someone took the time to make the redirect, since youo noticed that "Bubba Brister" doesnt redirect, then make it yourself. 68.203.243.154 23:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, Desmond. I did it for you. ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 00:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Matt Lauer interview

Could someone who knows a lot about the recent interview with Matt Lauer add it to the main article?

It was already their, I don't know why it was removed. Myrockstar 15:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Contoversy

Even though most of the contoversy surrounding her child is news, it is still a significant part of her life in the past year, and should be included. I added back the Dateline, and Harper's interview because it was sourced. Info about the driving incidents, and Sean falling off of the high chair should also be added back when they are sourced.

Error

Farrell's name is Colin.

...Ew

That statue of her Britney giving birth is...just nasty. The sculpturor has no decency. Black Kat 1:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, how dare women do something as disgusting as have children!

it's not as if she actually even gave birth through her vagina, let alone on a bearskin rug. She gave birth in an operating theatre with her uterus cut open. Far less artistically interesting, course. --Dandelions 23:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

From the Bottom of My Broken Heart

Someone has violated the page of "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" again. He or she removes the single cover and adds a crappy picture of an object. This person needs to be stopped. Also on the ...Baby One More Time (song) page that is the international album cover not the single cover.

Thanks for that, I changed the picture, though I don't think it was vandalism, someone probably uploaded a photo and named it "Broken" which replaced the single picture. Bad move in the uploaders part. Also, I believe that was the cover of ...BOMT for the US as well, but I'm not sure, I went to Amazon.com and most of the covers were imports, do you know what cover is the US one? Just put a link and I'll upload it. Myrockstar 04:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

In the Zone

I think that "In the Zone"'s genres should also have R&B and Dance. That is what the album is and it all blends well. Charmed 4:35 16 August 2006

I agree, but the right term for it is urban pop. Thats what In The Zone is for sure.

The "Youtube" Video

"In August 2006, a rather peculiar video of Britney began circulating the internet."

The original source of the so-called "Youtube" video is seldom mentioned in any of the articles that have been written about it. Several of these pieces have claimed that the video was "leaked to the internet". In fact, the video was officially released by Spears herself in September 2005 as part of the "bonus footage" on her "Chaotic" DVD.71.203.30.14 22:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

My Prerogative and Genre

Someone removed Britney's "My Prerogative" information declaring it is Bobby Brown's article only, but I returned the information. Britney should have her own page if people are going to vandalize it. Who keeps removing urban pop from her genre. It is correct. She wanted to make more adult-oriented music and that is urban pop.

Merge from Jason Allen Alexander

I moved the "mergefrom" request for Jason Allen Alexander to the "public image" section rather than "career development" -- even though it fit the timeline, it doesn't really relate to her career. In any event, I support the merge because JAA is notable only for his 55 hours of fame and there is little other information on his own page. HalJor 21:35, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

5th Studio Album And New Baby Boy

in 2006 she had a girl named Jailyn

It seems she's had a son.

Is it true he's called Sutton Pierce Federline, or just rumour??

Can we remove something?

Okay does the biography really need the 2006 VMA cameo? Is it really a vital part of her career? No. Someone should remove it. She has had much more publicised VMA appearances but they arnt mentioned. So I think it should be removed.

I agree it won't really be relevant in the future. Nobody owns this article so be brave and remove it yourself if you'd like. Myrockstar

the album sales???

i am calculating the sales of brit and i think it is 86 million copies all in all not seventy six million ...
