I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I have been saying all along over the past year or so that Britney Spears is being pushed to the edge. I mean, the girl has balls for making that awesome new video "Piece of Me". My husband and I actually applauded Britney for standing up for herself and showing the world who the real losers are. Why should we be talking about how her visit with her kids went, or what she did on a Friday night? Would you or I want the world discussing our every move and ourphysical appearance 24 hours a day? I certainly know I wouldn't.

I am also a fan because I deal with depression and anxiety myself, and I don't know, as a mother, as a young adult, as a woman, I realize now that I identify with Britney. I have gone through many hospitalizations and my own share of "drama", and the whole time I deal with a gossip-happy family...whenever I go to a gathering, it seems as if all eyes are on me and I am being constantly judged by my clothes, my damn weight (I am not the skinny homecoming princess I was 12 years ago), and my every word and action. I feel as if Britney is living that lifestyle x a million...and it's such bulls***. Everybody makes mistakes along the road, and Britney is no different than your average Jane, except that she's famous and has to deal with the entire world in her face day and night.

And lastly, I became a Britney Spears fan when I really started watching her videos and listening to her songs. I'm usually into way different music (hard rock and metal), but I don't know what it is...it's Britney I guess. She gives off a great vibe that makes me want to stand up for myself and tell everyone to back off too.
