Britney Spears

Britney Spears is an US singer, born December 2, 1981 in Kentwood Louisiana.

At the age of 8, following an audition to present the Mickey Mouse Club where Britney Spears was refused because too young, one of the producer of the show notices her and recommends Britney Spears to an agent in New York. Britney Spears then spends her following summers in New York to follow dancing and comedy courses. Very good idea as in 1991, Britney Spears manages to get a role in a Broadway show. The same year, Britney Spears little sister Jamie Lynn Spears comes to world. At the age of 11, Britney Spears presents the Mickey Mouse Club with Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. Then, Britney Spears records a sample that she sends to a large number of music record companies. Britney Spears takes audition for Jive Records which immediately signs her.

On January 12 1999, the first Britney Spears album Baby One More Time, (Baby One More Time, You Drive Me Crazy, Sometimes, Soda Pop, Born To Make You Happy, From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart, I Will Be There, I Will Still Love You, Thinkin' About You, E-Mail My Heart, The Beat Goes On) is released.

The Britney Spears album contains two titles with pop sounds and the targeted audience is somewhat young. The Britney Spears album sells at 23 millions worldwide. Britney Spears then releases her new song "Sometimes", with average success, then "Crazy" which ranks well in charts of many countries before giving place to "Born To Make Your Happy" which had a strong impact.

In 2000, Britney Spears releases her second cd album, Oops... I Dit It Again (I Can't Get No Satisfaction, Can't Make You Love Me, Dear Diary, Don't Go Knockin' On My Door, Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know, Lucky, One Kiss From You, Oops!...I Did It Again, Stronger, What U See Is What U Get, When Your Eyes Say It, Where Are You Now). The hit becomes one of the most popular song of the 90s. 19 millions of Britney Spears albums are sold. The second song "Lucky" encounters a relatively important success. We need to wait the third single "Stronger" to see a new success for Britney Spears. The last album, "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know", is however her fist commercial failure.

Well decided not to stay with a defeat, Britney Spears takes her time to prepare a third cd album with a first single "I'm Slave For You" with innovating and audacious sounds, produced by Neptunes. The Britney Spears single definitively breaks the virgin image of the pop star. The Britney Spears album sells pretty well (more than 12 millions albums sold), but not as much as her first two ones.

It is at the same period that Britney Spears makes her first steps in cinema in a movie specifically created for her, "Crossroads". Despite the movie getting deceiving results, the Britney Spears movie still is a commercial success as the movie collected over $60 million worldwide, for a budget four times less important.

Little by little, Britney Spears image degrades. We especially discover Britney Spears smokes, like parties, drinks and has tried drugs in the past. Britney Spears also surprised people with her express wedding at Las Vegas which lasted not even the 55 hours.

In November 2003, Britney Spears releases a new cd album, In The Zone ((I Got That) Boom Boom (featuring Ying Yang Twins), Brave New Girl, Breathe On Me, Early Mornin', Everytime, Me Against the Music (featuring Madonna), Outrageous, Shadow, Showdown, The Hook Up, Touch of My Hand, Toxic). Britney Spears music is now more sensual but also more personal (the singer has written or co-written several songs). The first Britney Spears single, “Me Against The Music” is with the collaboration of her idol of ever, Madonna. Yet, the presence of Madonna doesn’t Britney Spears to meet the expected success in the US. Nevertheless, the Britney Spears song still manages to top in several countries across the globe. It is with her international hit "Toxic" that Britney Spears album sales skyrocketed. Then Britney Spears releases her single "Everytime", first song written and composed by the singer, which also will be an international success.

Britney Spears then starts a world tour, the Onyx Hotel Tour, a concert which is more dedicated to an adult audience. Unfortunately, her wounded knee (while recording clip "Outrageous") forces Britney Spears to cancel the end of the tour. After a shorten promotion due to her being hospitalized, the Britney Spears album still managed to sells at more than 7 millions.

Britney Spears doesn't have the mood for work, and according to her, "What's better than releasing a Best Of?": then comes Britney Spears Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (My Prerogative, Toxic, I'm a Slave 4 U, Oops! ... I Did It Again, Me Against the Music, Stronger, Everytime, Baby One More Time, You Drive Me Crazy, Boys, Sometimes, Overprotected, Lucky, Outrageous, I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman, I've Just Begun Having My Fun, Do Somethin'). Two new Britney Spears songs appear on this Best Of; My Prerogative and Do Something'. My prerogative has had a relatively important success worldwide; the single is a version of Bobby Brown. The second single is Do Somethin' which wasn’t released in the US but still manages to rank position 100 thanks to downloads. The Britney Spears cd sells at 5 millions, it is the best of the most sold in year 2004.

In late 2004, Britney Spears launches her first perfume, Curious (produced by Elizabeth Arden), which immediately has a phenomenal success. Later, Britney Spears married Kevin Federline, dancer and boyfriend of a few months that left wife and his two children. Britney Spears releases a new perfume Fantasy still with Elizabeth Arden which again is a phenomenal success.

In 2005, Britney Spears comes back on the screens with her TV reality show: Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, aired on cable channel UPN. The TV reality show is a complete commercial disaster. Britney Spears then takes the opportunity of the last episode to diffuse her new clip; Someday (I Will Understand) where Britney Spears shares her feelings about her upcoming maternity.

Wanting to prove to the world that a woman body carrying a baby is still so beautiful, Britney Spears accepts to be taken in nude pictures in the August 2006 edition of magazine Harper's Bazaar, imitating Demi Moore who in 1991 made scandal on magazine Vanity Fair.

On September 14 of the same year, Britney Spears gives life to a little Sean Preston Spears-Federline in a clinic of Santa Monica, California. Britney Spears then appears in some journals, her being suspected of not looking well after her child.

One month after the birth of her son, Britney Spears releases a new album of remixes named B In the Mix: The Remixes (Toxic - Peter Rauhofer Reconstruction Mix, Me Against The Music Featuring Madonna - Justice Remix, Touch Of My Hand - Bill Hamel Remix, Breathe On Me - Jacques Lu Cont’s Thin White Duke Mix, I’m A Slave 4 U - Dave Audé Slave Driver Mix, And Then We Kiss - Junkie Xl Remix, Everytime - Valentin Remix, Early Mornin’ - Jason Nevins Remix, Someday (I Will Understand) - Hi-Bias Signature Radio Remix, Baby One More Time - Davidson Ospina 2005 Remix, Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know - Hex Hector Club Mix).

In 2006, Britney Spears releases a third perfume Curious-In-Control in limited edition in the US. Again it is another success for Britney Spears. A party is then organized with some children to celebrate the three successes of her perfumes which would for sure be followed by two others as the star Britney Spears has signed for five perfumes with Arden.

Britney Spears then makes an appearance in the serial Will & Grace in March 2006 and announces on May 9 2006 her second pregnancy in David Letterman's talk show. On September 12 2006 at 2H AM, Britney Spears gives birth to her second child, a boy named Sutton Pierce. Britney Spears would have chosen Sutton Pierce to have the same initials as Sean Preston (SPF). Two days later, on 14, Britney Spears celebrates the first anniversary of Sean.

The official Britney Spears website is currently in renovation. Apparently, Britney Spears comeback promises to rock if we believe what the producers of her future album said. Singer Britney Spears just gave birth to her second child that rumors fuse everywhere about her big coming back in the music scene. Even if no specific date was given, the next Britney Spears album is expected for early 2007. Jonathan Rotem (producer of Britney Spears) has admitted the album would contain one or two rap songs, some slows and club songs. Jive would have sent a song to a radio. This song may be "Everybody" from Britney Spears next album but it is only a rumor now
