Exactly.

FTR was amazing. We need FTR 2.0

How's that gonna happen? She's in a better place now.

[ItsGodneyB**ch]

People have meltdowns and many times they don't even know the reason, but if she knew I don't think she has to give the exact details.. I mean, if someone you know suffer depression or something of the kind you don't tell him/her: please, explain why with every detail...

Anyway I think we all know what happened, she was pushed to her limits and couldn't take it anymore.

"Her answer to head shaving was really lame" 

I'm sorry I didn't know she owed you an explanation? Maybe whatever she said WAS truly the reason she wanted to shave her head? Maybe she didnt want to talk about it in depth because it embarrassed her? 

I swear to god this fanbase

Are you really complaining because she didn't reveal sosomething shocking? She said what she wanted to say, and what she had in mind, she didn't give a **** about making headlines. Did she say why she shaved her head? No. Is it sad for us? Probably because we wanted to know. Was it a mistake? No. Because she didn't. And it's her life. 

Not everything is about creating a buzz around you. For The Record is one of the best thing she has done, because it was her. And we got to see her after a long time. The real her. So no, not revealing why she shaved her head and not revealing something shocking isn't a mistake for me.

Especially when we have many things to blame for Britney not being as relevant as she was. Things that no one can doubt are mistakes.

He wanted it to be a controversial piece that the gp would remember,wtf

I always cry when she talks about one day writing a book about it. I honestly can't wait.. i'll be waiting on my death bed for that damn book. She will tell her truth one day, and we will be ready

im not blaming her, but isnt for the record another thing to put on our larry tab of mistakes?

I'm speechless.

I can't believe people are bashing FTR. 

Not I Am Femme Fatale (cringy) and I Am Britney Jean (boring).

But this masterpiece. WTF OP. Go to hell 

[troubleguy]

FTR>>>> i amm bj

Sometimes you can't say it all.

Cause someone is watching over us. 

And you know what I mean.

They said no question was unasked or unanswered but they didn't ask about a lot of the things the fans actually wanted to know like the conservatorship and all. No, she doesn't owe us to talk about every single thing but that IS what they said at the beginning of the film. So either they didn't ask the right questions or they decided to cut out important stuff. 

It was a cute film though. It did what they wanted it to do - make her look good again and show everyone that she was looking good again. The simple truth is that Britney is not very eloquent or good at explaining herself and has been giving short, bad answers to questions for a long time now. She's still doing that, so we felt like we didn't really take away anything new from it.

FTR really made me tear up and make me feel guilty for expecting 

something from her that she didn't wanna do anymore. This Xtina song would've fit her so well 

in that time:

What her Team did was build up fans and the GP's expectations of what FTR was going to be...And then not deliver. 

Sound familiar?

[Britneybbhmm]

I think she was being asked about it by the end of the documentary what she wants to tell people that think she didn't told enough..?! 

- She said she'll write a good book one day a mysterious book.

And go through life like a karate kid

Well, it did get 3.7 million viewers in the US alone, and I doubt all those people were from Exhale.  I know people who watched because they thought it would be this intense exposé about everything that happened from 2004-08, and it wasn't.  But, as you said, it was still really poignant and well-done.  

True. But considering it was only an hour long it still got fairly deep.

I love FTR and I don't necessarily agree with you. BUT I have an issue with this documentary though. It's too short for the amount of footage they had shot and Britney not being an exec producer of it kinda bugs me too. She probably didn't have much to say about what will be included or not. I feel like she might've said a lot more than what we've got and I really wish to see the whole sit down interview segment and what else it would reveal.

[Cherry Bomb]

I don't think she has ever been the one to really reveal herself to the public.. she's always quite reserved..

And she disclosed more information in FTR than probably she did in the past 6 years tbh

Yeah. Don't get me wrong I really liked the film and thought it was very entertaining. But they should have left it as a documentary surrounding the album vs. a tell-all about her personal life.

I love FTR...In the same way I love Truth or Dare, or any other behind-the-scenes doc about the music scene.

But they shouldn't have claimed that, "no question went unanswered." That's absolutely laughable. They lost credibility with the GP right there.

[Calilove1]

i think for the record helped. it showed britney hurts just like everyone else. also that fame isn't as glamorous as some would like to hope. she was trapped at the time by the things she had done and had been pushed to releasing a record so soon after her downfall period. she had a lot going on and to see her like that honestly made me love her more and i think others too. femme fetale hurt her because of her lack luster performances, not the songs. i think she got shoved in too fast and needed a break after circus.

[Nina Dobrev]

Cute you get about 50 negative rep and still think your "detailed" ridiculous thread is some how excusable. 

I hope we don't see this again from anyone else.  You're okay to talk about FTR, but not to the extreme you did.
