I laughed SO hard. 💀

I know I may be old, but

I’ve got a conservator too

And I need to poop and buy a hearing aid

So let me get it, to just listen

You do realize people in their 20s and 30s are considered young too right?

y'all she still lipsyncs to the cd vocals of BOMT from 1999 and that's your issue?

[indyRS]

It's a classic song from her YOUNGER days. She was YOUNG when she released it. Like seriously?

If it "offends" you that much, then don't listen to it? Like why change the lyrics?

Jesus..

[Cheshire-B]

And so breakup songs should be re-written too since she has moving on since then ?

“ I’m a slave for Lou

I can’t deny that

my dad’s trying to hide it”

[hot mess]

I thought y'all were going to change it to "I'm a Slave4 Lou"

 

edit: yep. so did the user above this post. lol

[itswwasheembitch]

she could say:

"I know they don't want me free, But I got feelings too"

[MissBritneyFanDK]

She could Change it to,  Im a slave for Lou! 😊

i only wish she could change it from “I’m a Slave 4 U” to just “Slave 4 U” the first two words are so unnecessary 

Yeessssss omgggggg!

Gurl, being almost 40 is still young 

 

 

However singing "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" at her 40s might sound strange

I actually did make a thread about this a while ago but yeah it is weird for her to only lipsync to those lyrics but to lipsync actual vocals from over a decade ago.

This proves Britney is either lazy or doesnt give a fk

It's so iconic that if she changed it for live vocals it would ruin the magic.

It's as if she said It's Britney, ***** live

It wouldn't. Again, they're just songs, they're not supposed to be monologues about her personal life. Even back then she said Not a Girl was more about the movie character than herself.  So if she were to sing that song again, everyone would understand that she's just singing it because it's part of her catalogue and it brings nostalgia to all of us, and no one should have a problem with it.

Madonna keeps singing Material Girl 80 years later, and no one bats an eye. Here in Mexico there are many 80s and 90s artists that keep performing songs from when they were kids or teenagers and talk about things like being in school, or playing Nintendo, and I have never heard anyone complaining or suggesting to replace the lyrics, because everyone understand they're just songs, and people know the lyrics by heart, and no one cares if they reflect their current life.

It's like asking singers not to sing heartbreak songs if they're currently on a relationship, or a love song if they're not in love with someone at the moment
