Friday is new music release days 😉

Here’s a funny, light tiktok that is going viral and many people are playfully correlating to Britney’s IG posts/captions…its cute and funny, and I was actually thinking about Britney before even going to comments-

Im not one to believe in curses, but seriously, what is it with the vast majority of men that date and/or marry the Kardashian/Jenners…. Pete, Scott, Kanye, Lamar, Travis Scott, etc, etc….theres always a period of being on top of the world and having this blissfully amazing life, before the ultimate, almost requisite spiral into mental health issues, addiction, professional or personal scandal, or any combination of the aforementioned. Im not trying to, nor do I want to villainize the Kardashian/Jenner women…but seriously, the trend is undeniable at this point. It’s like whoever goes in to a relationship with them, leaves a shell of who they were before they got into it. Granted, many of the men that they choose to date already come predisposed with certain challenges, but why is it that almost none of them walk away better people or healthier through these relationships? it just feels like the Kardashian/Jenner business machine model, chews them up and spits them out. it’s almost like being a Kardahsian/Jenner boyfriend/husband is the new Kennedy family curse.

When does pt 2 come out? Theres like ten different advertised dates and times when you read press articles about pt 1 online.

Those are the main channel numbers vma full ratings come out later when all the channels are calculated. Last years main channel numbers were only 1.3 mil but total numbers were 6.4 million when all the other channels were added.

Normani even topped Chloe! These young girls (Doja, Chloe, Normani) came with the iconic VMAs in mind! I know the trend is too “VMAs are dead” but these girls brought it back to life tonight!!! Best VMAs in years! Hands down!

Chloe was SERVING the Piece of Me butt bendover hair flip in that leotard….Piece of Me all day LOL….but seriously that was an old school VMA performance!

Actually have to maybe take it back about doja cat….that Chloe performance was insane! Reminded me of Oops 2000 performance. That was a DEBUT!

Have to say that doja cat is the closest thing this generation has to a Britney in terms of performance ability. She shows out everytime I've seen her.

For most of us VMAs will never live up to late 90s/early 00s (and a few of the 2010s years - 2011, 2016 etc) but watching now and actually impressed! Between the mix of Madonna, Jlo, Olivia, Bieber etc its a nice feel of classic vmas and new. The energy is great too, and the production value and format of going across the stage for back to back performances is great. Nothing will ever top the Britney era of the VMAs but we should also be mindful that every generation says the same thing. When we were stanning the late 90s/2000s VMAs, the older generation who came of age w the 80s Madonna/Michael Jackson/80s rock era VMAs probably thought the ones we loved sucked. Its all relative….its human nature to favor what you grew up with. Not just w the vmas but everything.

Loved the song at the time and was so excited for the video…but all the cuts to try and hide the diminished performance abilities and dancing/over medication made it unwatchable and kind of a headache to follow. People were way too unnecessarily critical of it at the time though. I do have vivid memories of defending her to GP friends, and to the GP in general who thought the video was horrible and that old Britney was officially gone. The whole femme fatale era gives me senses of dread because it was the real turning point where it felt like the world gave up on viewing her as the queen of the industry and Beyonce really took over as the main girl. I remember watching my non-stan, GP friends who loved and grew up with Britney, (and viewed her as the musical icon of our generation), cheer her on during the circus era comeback…but left feeling a little flat by it, really be done w her after femme fatale. It was all the typical, “she just isnt the same”…”shes just a robot now and so odd now”…”her talents completely gone” etc etc etc…but I think this year put everything back into perspective and Britney has the world back on her side.

And there's been just as many rational sensible responses amd people focused on what the main point of the post was… Keyboard warriors and immature passive aggressiveness on online forms doesnt invalidate my opinion or voice like you think it does… and if you would like a reference point on how mature sensible adults communicate you can reference the exchange with @NotBuyingIt
