Britney Spears - Piece of Me.



Mk, I'm gonna review Britney's new single now.

I love Britney [yes, Sin.] I really do. No matter what she does, what genre she is or what people say about her.

Oh! First, have a lookie at the awesome clip.

This is really just a "Screw You" to the paparazzi, isn't it? I love the lyrics in this. So I'm just gonna dissect them a little for you all here. .

"I'm Miss American Dream, since I was seventeen,
Don't matter if I step on the scene, or sneak away to the Philippines,
They still gon' put pictures of my derrière in the magazines,
You want a piece of me? You want a piece of me?

I'm Miss Bad Media Karma, another day, another drama,
Guess I can't see no harm in workin' and bein' a mama,
And with a kid on my arm, I'm still an exceptional earner,
You want a piece of me? "

It's great, really. It's all true, too. For so many people that's all she is. She's not seen as a human being but a buisness opportunity for paparazzi.

And I also say lay off her, she has a child.. But I think that there's more behind that line than simply "I have a kid". It's the stuff that entails.. Judging by her behaviour she's struggled with post-natal depression both times she's given birth. I think she's saying "I'm trying to support a child here when I don't even feel like going near it and I'm still managing to drag in cash."

"I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. 'Oh my God, that Britney's shameless!',
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. 'Extra, Extra! This just in',
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. 'She's too big, now she's too thin'.
(You want a piece of me?)"

I'm guessing that these are things she's heard people saying about her, or she presumes people have said about her.

I must say that the weight issue is something I believe every female celebrity struggles with. Drop a few, you're anorexic. Gain a few, you're pregnant.

Overall, I think this is a very good song, for what it is. Britney Spears is dance-strip-pop and she knows it. She isn't trying to be anything else, which is one of the things I love about her. No matter how people group her, she is a truly unique artist.

The beat is good and catchy. The lyrics are easy to sing along with and they show a bit of personality.

9/10, bitches.
