Movie: Britney Spear's Crossroads ?

I think it's survival for them. They think that they can't survive on singing alone. Diversify

Re: Re: Re: Tie me to a chair and sellotape my eyelids open...

Oh man...which one?! There were like 4 ( over here in America at least... )

One thing I don't like is that this movie is it's probably relying on the fact that hey, BRITNEY SPEARS IS IN THIS MOVIE! And not a great storyline and good acting. Although I wouldn't put down the idea of a few friends go off on their own and do stuff, it's just not my deal, but what gets me with this is this teen icon fronting the entire movie, it's all going to be concentrated on her not the movie. I'd watch it maybe if I was bored enough, and just needed a laugh ( Is the movie funny, at all? ).
It's not really aimed for the people in my audience category anyway...

Whenever a singer crosses path to be an actor, their first show surely will not be that good... Perhaps this is even more evident in Britney's case

BTW, anyone heard Kate Winslet's new song What If? It's pretty good IMO

& Madonna's excuse? She can't act! Even pairing her w/ William Dafoe in a drama bombed terribly.

This is all about marketing. The last thing the record companies want is to loose their golden goose to the movie industry.

More like SELF marketing

Clockwork Orange is TOTALLY your kind of movie, P66; Dark & Twisted

CD's costs less to produce than a LP's

The Sorry State of the Recording Industry.

1.) Corporations have purchased the major labels, making it harder for fresh faces & good music to break thru. Universal owns 6 labels, Warner 4, Sony 3, BMG 3, & EMI 3.

2.) CD's costs less to produce than a vinyl LP, but the prices have gone up.

3.) Instead of utilizing the new technology, the industry sues Napster. In fact I read of one record executive, Michael Greene who called ,"Web Theft."

So while our beloved politicians & State attorneys try to extort money from M$, "for all the harm caused to consumers," they completely ignore "we" consumers who are getting ripped off by the recording industry.

Now you understand why I depise these cookie cutter clones. Not that they're untalented, but they're all marketed the same way.

Brit may be one hot thang, but let's really take a look at the talent level.
Actors act like they have these really hard jobs, give me a break. I cant act like a jerk, a**, liar, h***, whatever. These people are spoon feed. I mean really, givin the opportunity, I am sure half the world can act decent enough for a movie. They take a hundred takes to get things right, I mean it's a job that you can screw up in, and that is considered normal!

As far as Brit, hot she is, but she has no real talent. Sure, she can dance a little, sing a little, look good, but I mean really, does she write her own music? Is she a struggling musician that tried to break into the mainstream?> No, shes some hot chick that a producer thought would sing songs good, so he got some songs and made her sing them. I would not waste my time or money contributing to this kinda c***! In another year, you won't even hear her name anymore.

good observation ace. Same goes for J-Lo, dancer by trade, can't sing, but lip-synced real good in the movie Selena.
Mariah & Christina, tremendous vocal talents, doing nothing but imitating everyone else. If you've caught one of Mariah's specials on tv, you'll see what a dimwit she is. So is Madonna. After all, isn't it "she" that "they" are really emulating?! Throw the Australian "entertainer" Kylie Minogue into this mix also.

The record companies think we're fools. We are! Paying premium prices for their overpriced CD's, & watch MtV like mind-numbed robots. We should have flooded our politicians w/ mail over the Napster controversy.

The worst new no talent ever perpetrated on the gullible public? Alecia Moore, a.k.a. Pink ! Read these press releases.

• not just her flashy pink hair that makes [her] stand out...
• the voice, the talent, and all that attitude...
• [her] tendencies and undeniable talent...
• more than just a passing phase...

pink a talent?

hahahahahha

shes great at looking like a tramp

guess thats talent

But she did look kinda "OK" in the Lady Marmalade video... And so does Maya!

Gyp Me Baby One More Time?

Although it's been 12 years since she BOMBED in the US w/ a cheesy *remake of Little Eva's 1962 Classic, "Locomotion," this credibile sex symbol star, w/ no talent other than her goods looks, has been marketing throughout the world trying to find an audience. Diva?! Indeed! :rolleyes:

* released Feb. 1990

Hey.... Kylie rocks.
I like the disco vibe of her latest album. Haven't bought anything else she has done though

"Can't Get You Out Of My Head"

Hang up the mirrored ball; Disco has returned!

I don't mind Kylie. Even if she can't do "new" songs I can always watch the video's with the sound off, & in the end, isn't that all that matters?

That said Brintey Spears has wierd eyes to me (too far apart) so I'm not too overwhelmed by her at all.

Kylie's videos are becoming more and more dodgy. Her style of video is becoming like Mariah's.... Yucks...

So that's it! I've always been wondering what's wrong with her.. Heh!

Kylies the best as far as I'm concerned anyway. Britney, at least I think thats what wrong with her, maybe its just the eye makeup they use on her to give her eyes like a manga cartoon girl character.
Not really bothered over mariah, jennifer lopez, etc. either.

I think it's the "in" thing now to remake someone to look like a cartoon girl in a manga cartoon... Blech...
