I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...

Britney's always been a little different than the other popstars to me. She's more innovative with the writers she chooses to work with. Bloodshy and Avant, with their electronica-influenced songs? How fantastically outside the norm. Jason and Brian from the "Britney" era helped crank out of some of the best songs from that album.

I used to be obsessed with her. I thought the obsession had faded, but then came Blackout and I fell in love with her again. Who knows why? She's got that "X factor" that just can't be explained. What a performer! She's a star. With Blackout she'll be back, hotter than ever.

Favorite Britney songs: Bombastic Love, Cinderella, Freakshow, Toy Soldier, Gimme More, Let Me Be.

I wish I still had all of my old Britney merchandise from when I was younger. The list of what I owned is too long to fit in this site's bandwidth.
