exhale The makings of an icon: 1998 BOMT Rehearsal

[Guest]

16 year old Britney rehearsing for her debut video Baby One More Time:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before all the fame and success. Before the superstar makeover. Just a young budding teenage girl from the south, with raw talents and big drive. Let’s revisit this moment in the late 90’s right before her life and the world would be forever changed with her music video for Baby One More Time.

There’s always something about her that makes me forget about anyone else around, like I can’t take my eyes off of her

This is still 98 right? So she was 16, not 15.

she did that..  this woman worked so hard.. She really did for a long time, I think the circus just burned her out so to speak our beautiful queen.. the industry beat her up, but she's still standing one way or another..

She was actually interesting to hear and look at. Smart and eloquent too. The same cannot be said about the woman now.

so much grace and innocence. she had no idea she would become the superstar she became.

So much passion, drive, focus and skill for a 16-year old small town girl from the South. That BOMT rehearsal video also never gets old and proves how much of a natural dancer she was. Forever the princess of pop.

I just love how innocent yet determined she was. She didn’t let the oldies at her label get in the way of her vision. Such great instincts.
