So why doesn't she write her OWN songs, if she's so talented?

Well, if I'm not mistaken, even Whitney Houston didn't write her own songs, and she's WAYYYY better than half of these heffers out there now (although she could stand to lose Bobby Brown and reclaim her crown as queen diva..lol).

I mean, anyone can learn to dance, and it doesn't take talent to fall out of your clothes. I certainly don't want MY daughter taking this person for a role model.

How old is she? Who does she admire now (besides you, of course)?

I've always thought that if you wanted to be seen as and treated like a lady, you should act like one. I'm only 32, so one can't really say I'm "old fashioned." I mean, what's wrong with teaching girls to act like ladies? Being a lady doesn't mean you're repressed and cold and no fun. It means you conduct yourself in a mature way that demands respect.

Well, treating women with disrespect started long before Britney Spears was even a thought. And what's wrong with saying you're old fashioned? Hell, I KNOW I'm old fashioned regarding some things because that's how I was brought up (I'm 34). It's all about the home training in many cases.

I just have a problem with a kid, who most definitely is not an appropriate role model, and who really isn't any better than the hundreds of other singers out there, getting a star on the walk of fame. It implies, to me, that she's done something worthy of such an honor, when she really hasn't.

I feel the same way about Eminem winning Grammys and other awards. When he won his Grammys, I was like, "For WHAT??" I felt he didn't do anything THAT special regarding hip hop. To me, he sounds like a whinny white boy who wants attention by being outrageous.


*sigh* But, what is one to do? The envelope has been pushed. How does society "fall back" to the "good old days"? Or, is it even possible at this point...
