I'm A Slave 4 Her - Weekly Britney #51: In Honor of MJ's 50th

past weekly britney posts

i'm re-posting one of my favorite britney moments in honor of michael jackson's 50th birthday today! i know it's not technically a new post but its one of my favorites from this series. hope you enjoy it the second time around!

i had totally forgotten about this performance until i stumbled across it. not only is britney on the same stage as the king of pop...but she's helping to sing my favorite michael jackson song of all time! this is pop history magic!!!

i have to say that britney gave a pretty amazing performance up there. considering that she is on the same stage as freakin michael jackson, she did a good job of holding her own up there yet also holding back enough and letting michael take center stage. and she definitely plays the coy female role well.

it's remarkable to me that i haven't compared my love for michael jackson and britney spears before. they are both amazing entertainers, they both gained celebrity at a young age and they are both tragic figures of the celeb world. and yet, they both have the resilience to keep on keeping on and have the determination to propel their careers forward, no matter what the cost is to their personal and professional lives. i absolutely cannot wait for michael jackson's comeback, along with brit's comeback. m.j.'s is a long time coming though and i pray to the gods that he will succeed. ever since high school, i made a little goal for myself that i would see madonna and michael jackson in concert before i die....well, i got to see madonna so that means that i GOTTA see m.j. soon!

they also are similar because they both have the ability to completely win my heart over. no matter what britney does - i still got love for her. everyone always asks me, "how can you STILL like britney?" i could offer you a million and one reasons why but the truth is, i don't really know. i just know that i love her and i think she's one of the best entertainers of my generation. same goes for michael jackson...no matter how many times he has to go to court or all the bizarre stories i hear about him...i still got love for him. he's one of the best singers, if not the best dancer, EVER. his music is classic and i would not want to live without it.

there's a dave chappelle skit where he's put on the witness stand at michael jackson's trial and it pretty much sums up my feelings on michael...
