“How many people could remove themselves so entirely from the process until called upon, at which point they slide into their role like a spoon into soup?”
Britney Spears
Neil Strauss on Britney Spears:
She went from singing about schoolgirl crushes, heartbreak and soda pop on her first CD in 1999 to playing the coquette, flirting just out of reach, on her follow-up, "Oops! I Did It Again." On her third album, "Britney," she declared her emancipation, proclaiming in song after song that she was no longer a little girl, but not yet a woman.
On her forthcoming CD, "In the Zone" (due on Nov. 18 on Jive), she continues her very public sexual evolution, completing her transformation from submissive (be it "Born to Make You Happy" or "I'm a Slave 4 U") to predator. Here, she is the siren of the party scene, hooking up with random men, declaring that she doesn't want to be a tease and offering "whatcha need all night long."
On the second page we learn that Britney, in a defiant stand against reality, compares herself to Bjork.
