June 27, 2005 - Anonymous writes "Britney Spears became bigger than life because of her risky moves in her career while Jessica Simpson got popular because she got married and made a reality show. When Jessica is asked about starting a family she says no way, "I have to take advantage of the position I'm in right now" But Britney didn't think about it twice. Britney’s priority has always been family. Jessica's seem to be fame and fortune. We have never seen Britney walking around in designer outfits at all times and calling her luggage by the brand name like Jessica does. I mean have you ever said, "Honey, bring my Samsonite in"? I’m not a fan of either or but I think is very unfair how Britney gets all this bad rep. and people don't see the kind of person she really is, she is not the girl you see shaking her booty on stage, that’s Britney the star. But with Jessica is a different story you saw her on TV, you read the interviews that she didn't have to show her belly or do anything like that, but what happened now. She is all about sex and superficial things. In my opinion in the battle between Britney and Jessica, Britney has, is and will always be the winner. And to finish I would like to say, just because someone can reach all the high notes that doesn’t mean you have a beautiful voice, that means you have a powerful voice. If not, then listen to Christina Aguilera, the girl might be able to reach a high octave range, but she sounds like a banana is stuck in her throat."

June 7, 2005 - Anonymous writes "I just wanted to clear something up about Britney Spears fans who assume that it's always the media's fault that Britney gets more negative attention than positive attention. Some of you seriously aren't getting the point. 1) None of us are saying that she has a careless heart and doesn't do charity, that is not the point. 2) None of us are saying that she has no right to marry and start a family. 3) None of us are saying that she's a cruel and nasty person. So please, stop overlooking things and actually read the comments that you are reading. The point that most people are trying to make is that Britney's flaws are the reason why she gets negative attention. You guys are always getting mad at the media, while it should be Britney that you should be mad at." Read more.

June 7, 2005 - Anonymous writes "I just wanted to say something to those people who think that somebody is a "hater" just because they bad mouth a celebrity. Of course the only example I can think of is Britney Spears. Many of you call people "haters" if they talk about how she's always making a fool of herself, has a bad excuse for a husband, etc. Well, this is what I have to say. How exactly is somebody being a hater if they're making an opinion about what's true about Britney? It's not our fault that she makes a fool of herself, asks for attention (and always bad attention) constantly, uses her private life to get even more attention while people defend her for being hounded by the media, etc." Read more.
