Don't Blame Brit

It seems no matter where I turn, I can’t escape Britney Spears, and it’s tragic that her life, complete with a breakdown, has to be so public, but that is the life she chose. Nisey Williams composed a very well written argument against Ms. Spears, and if I would grade it, I would give her an A.

All throughout the course of her argument, Williams brings up valid points against Spears, such as how she dresses scantily and she dances provocatively and she wields major influence over 15 year olds. She also doesn’t miss the fact that ultimately it lies with the parents to guard their children from the evils of society and teach their children morals.

Williams goes on to say trying to insulate their children from society is like trying to fight a tornado, but she fails to see the point that its not Spears that she should be mad at, rather she should rage at the whole mainstream media. All of the singers out in the mainstream music have their images already made for them by their managers, who know that nothing sells better than sex. Williams brings up Avril Lavigne as an antidote to Spears, but I would have to disagree with her on the point that Lavigne is a better role model than Spears: Lavigne is a high school dropout who wears too much eyeliner coupled with her dye job hair and miniskirts and I hardly think she is any better than Spears. Both Lavigne and Spears are merely tools to sell records for their company.
I disagree with Williams on another point, when she states that none of the trashy clothes would sell if Spears wouldn’t promote that, but again that ties back to the mainstream media. Even though I disagree with several of her points, I still believe Williams composed a very well written, thought provoking essay.
