Do you think it was a bad move to do a book instead of a tell all documentary/interview?

[itsxrichiexbish]

i would have preferred an interview but u can tell britney doesn’t like being in front of a camera to much right now… so i’m all for a book… i’m just hoping for an audio recording 😁😁

Idk...I read 3 chapters of the book and I think it's gonna do more justice than any documentary ever could

The live broadcast from the court only happened because of the pandemic, these proceedings were being broadcast because court cases are supposed to be open to the public for transparency (unless it is a closed courtroom for private reasons, which Jamie's lawyers tried to do with Britney's case but she insisted it remain open and if they had closed it after we heard her say that it would have looked very suspicious). It's kinda wild that if Covid had never happened, we never would have heard Britney speaking in her own words in court. Only the people present in the courtroom would have heard it and then been able to report back on what she said. Interestingly, they changed the rules after her first testimony so that we couldn't listen in any longer.

And u know what I also believe? If Covid had not happened in 2020, team con would have forced her to go back into performing that very same year. In 2020 the whole industry stopped and I think that helped Britney to prioritize herself and focus on what was important. Let's not forget at the beginning of 2020 she was forced to record that in the zone video thanking fans so she was clearly being pushed to do stuff. I think the Covid situation helped big time in finding her freedom

An interview can be spun in any narrative they want. A doc completely edited by Britney would be great, but it doesn't feel like Britney is keen on any documentary right now. She always wanted to write a book. This will be her words how she wants the story told, so I understand why she went there first.

I think a book is a much better vessel to express yourself without any sort of pressure or outside noise. You can go back and forth with your thoughts, and analyze what you want to say and how you want to say it. When you're in an interview you're under the magnifying glass, even if they cut parts that you want to omit, they'll always have those tapes. Also, there'll always be rumors of the 'behind-the-scene' situations, and people analyzing every single move or word you say. So no, I'll always prefer a book 

Those few times Britney decided to address topics publicly did not go the way we expected I think. A documentary is way too much effort, and stress so I don't see it as a possibility. Perhaps one day, years from now, she decides to share an exclusive peek into her life as a free woman, but for the time being she deserves her privacy (hear that K-flop, Creepne, Colon Spears, Juno Lame & co? )

same thoughts. like i don't want it to be live because then she may be influenced by the interviewer or maybe get nervous / sad, etc.

the power of a book is that it can't be changed and that she can make sure to really say what she means. same with a documentary that SHE edits.

i like the concept of her words being fixed and not open to interpretation / twisting.

Well, a bad move for who?

I feel like the purpose of the book is to reveal many things she has gone through which resulted in all the drama and personal issues she is going through now. I have heard that it is easier for many people to express their emotions in written words rather than spoken words. 

Speaking implies being present in time, having other people looking at you and analizing not only what you say but how you say it, what gestures you make, etc. For someone who has gone through what Britney has gone through, that would feel anxious. 

But, in terms of sales, reaching a higher range of audience and make people aware of her situation ofc a visual material is more impactful, either a documentary or an interview.

Maybe so especially cause nowadays people don't really read anymore.

They're more into social media and the internet.

A documentary on a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu would've been great or even an interview on a youtube channel.

 

I feel like Britney missed a BIG opportunity to stand up for herself through an interview or documentary.

Idk why she just sits there and lets horrible people like K-Fat and TMZ destroy and slander her reputation.

but this is more successfully commercial but in terms of what's better for her to tell her story i feel a book is better.

I kinda hoped that she would have done both to be honest.

Book is better for Britney. Some non-readers will have to adjust. 

I hope she will have enough stamina for book promotions/interviews with a kind person. She could read parts of her book for an audio version. Her speaking voice is great.

I can’t wait to read her book! It’s going to be an incredible read! 

[BSfan4Ever]

I think she should have done both, it would have been faster 

[Catalin]

She will do neither though.

[Applejack]

I've always said that a book is the best outlet for her to control her own narrative

[wukemon]

She could both author the book and produce the documentary, so she’d have final say over how to tell her story. A ghostwriter and editor would help make it accessible to a broader audience.
