Reply #4: Lighten up on Britney (and why) [View All]

[Dogmudgeon]

It's not because I'm such a Britney Spears fan, but she's 22 and has lived a sheltered life.

In the next couple of years, reality is going to step out of a dark alley somewhere and smack the living s**t out of her. Like it does to all of us.

After she's been down and gotten up again, that's when we'll be able to tell whether she is trash or whether she is treasure. Right now, it's a coin-toss.

Forget Britney. Madonna's been there and back. She might a little wacky, but she's earned her credibility.
