In reply to MC.

following the atrocity that was her performance at the 2007 vmas, britney's career began spiraling into the gutter of the forgotten. had the media not had a 'jones' for her 'hit me baby one more time' days (and still do) and started piling on the extreme hype, like she's a present day record selling phenom, she would be a vague teen memory.

whether one thinks marilyn monroe was a talent or not till the day she died, she never lost what the audience loved. the same can't be said for britney.
