Britney Spears' Circus Hits No. 1

It seems like just yesterday, a chubby Britney Spears was aimlessly driving around L.A. with a bad weave and a British accent stealing lighters from gas stations. Actually, it was a year ago – and since then, Britney has made a remarkable transformation – shedding the extra pounds as well as the extra side of crazy.

Thanks to the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears and the management of Larry Rudolph, Britney has emerged once again, on top as Spears' latest CD Circus is the No. 1 album after selling half a million copies last week.  The last couple of months have been an all-out media blitz for Spears, who recently released an MTV docu-interview, was on the cover of Rolling Stone and has performed her lip synching act in Europe as well as Good Morning America.

"This is going to reinforce her icon status," said Barry Weiss, CEO of BMG, which includes Spears' label, Jive. "It's not just a No. 1 album."

    I love Britney. I love her Circus Video. I will certainly buy the CD. I hope she sells record numbers so that her critics will have to eat crow! I just don't understand why it is okay for Beyonce to only dance and not sing on the American Music Awards. She couldn't sing and dance at the same time and no one has said a word derogatory about it, yet it seems to be a crime for Britney??? By the way, I also adore Beyonce so I am certainly not demeaning her performance–I loved it. We all know Beyonce rocks. I am just saying- Leave Britney alone. Give the girl some credit, she is talented. As long as her songs make me happy when I hear them and her dances makes me happy when I see them, I will continue to be a fan regardless of the fact that she is according to some unable to perform them both at the same time.

    By the way, check out this very cool web site – they have a software that lets you publish your comments to a special page dedicated for Britney http://www.commentino.com/Tags/Britney – very cool in my opinionComment *
