When it comes to Charli XCX her love for Britney has always been incredible. Charlie recently spoke about her Britney “Obsession” in a recent interview:
Singer Charli XCX admits she was “obsessed” with Britney Spears and the Spice Girls when she was younger.
The 23-year-old singer credits the “Toxic” hitmaker with sparking her desire to be a pop star and she still thinks the star makes “great” music, reported Femalefirst.
“I just started making my own songs and I made so many of them that I thought I wanted to show them to people. From when I was younger, I was always fascinated by Britney Spears. I was always obsessed with her when I was a kid. I think that’s what made me want to be in the music industry. I think her music is great.”
The “Boom Clap” hitmaker was also a big fan of the Spice Girls.
“The Spice Girls were a big influence on me growing up, then Britney. Super, super pop stuff when I was younger, for sure.
Charlie always speaks nothing but wonderful things about our queen and we LOVE her for it everytime she does.
Today marks the 8th year since the release of Britney’s first, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ episode, ‘Ten Sessions.
Britney played the role of Abby, a receptionist at Stella Sinman’s dermatology clinic. Abby was a very naïve character with a very high level of sensitivity.
Britney made 2 appearances as Abby, however Ten Sessions was her first appearance. The episode focuses on Abby developing a huge crush on Ted, forcing her to change her appearance to make her more noticeable to him.
She follows on to drop hints to him about her infatuation by admiring his least-appealing characteristics. She calls him a knight when he offers her coffee during his sixth session and makes Stella try to convince him to go out with her during the seventh session.
During the eighth session, she reads a book Ted tried to use to hit on Stella and even compares him to a young Tom Selleck when he is tricked by Barney into growing a moustache for the ninth session.
After the two-minute date Ted and Stella have, Abby finds him with a bunch of flowers and confesses that several girls have tried to convince her to forget about him, but she forgives him and instantly runs after him.
Later in the episode Barney meets her at the reception shortly after this, where he talks sense into her and invites her to a hotel room, where she asks him for sex.
Television critics reacted positively to the episode and praised Britney’s performance. In its original broadcast in the United States, ‘Ten Sessions’ was watched by 10.62 million viewers. It attracted 1 million viewers more than the previous episode and 2.4 million more than the show’s average before the writer’s strike.
The show co-creator Bays later said that Britney Spears’ appearance greatly benefited ratings. ‘’And by golly she put our show on the map. It can’t be overstated. Britney Spears rescued us from being on the bubble again. Thanks Britney!’’
Our friends over at Billboard listed 10 Best Britney Spears music videos:
Oops…she did it again and again.
Setting out to rank Britney Spears’ videos is, of course, a near impossible task.
She’s had so many that instantly come up as a must-include, both when discussing her oeuvre as well as music video categories at large. Wish to discuss best dance breaks? Must include Spears. Want to break down best school-set videos? Must include Spears. Want to discuss the best music video fashion? Must include Spears. You get the idea.
So, with the caveat that she’s had way more than 10 winners over her career, we present 10 of the best below. Note that these are solely for videos; as much as possible, we tried to leave the songs out of it, meaning that personal empowerment faves like “Stronger” just missed the cut, even though Brit’s chair dancing was something to behold. (Plus, never forget, she conducted lightning with her hand). We also have to give honorable mention props to “I Wanna Go”; the video itself may be sort of forgettable — although we’ll never complain about seeing Happy Britney — but the “Cross 2: Cross Harder” sign on a movie theater automatically earns it some LOL points.
Without further ado, Britney’s top 10:
Check out the list:
1. “Toxic”
“Toxic” expertly melded all the things people love about her into four minutes of perfection: There was the fashion (bedazzled nude body suit, stewardess outfit, wigs!), a perfectly early-aughts elaborate video concept, unexpected visuals (jumping out of the sky onto a motorcycle), and of course, some dancing to a seriously killer track (for which Spears received her sole Grammy win). Take it away, Brit:
2. “Oops!…I Did It Again”
If the turn of the century ever needs to be put in a time capsule, the video for Spears’ lead single off her sophomore album of the same name needs to be included. It’s a frothy pop fever dream, complete with a reference to Titanic, a red leather unitard, and even a jaunt to Mars. The choreography to the chorus is arguably Spears’ best-known, and there’s a level of goofy fun present throughout that helps explain the enduring appeal of Spears and her music videos.
3. “…Baby One More Time”
Britney burst onto the scene with a high school-set video that instantly made her a star. Like all her best videos, the fashion and sets are distinct high points all on their own, but taken as a whole, Spears’ first time out of the gate is a teen dream that instantly showed everyone that she was one to watch.
4. “(You Drive Me) Crazy”
Sometimes this early-days video is forgotten between “Baby…One More Time” and “Oops!,” but that would be a mistake. This is the first time Spears — donning an iconic green midriff-baring top — dances her way right into the world’s heart. Dated cameos from Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier add to the fun, with an end result more fulfilling than the delish ice cream fountain Brit shows off.
5. “Lucky”
Lucky is certainly different than many of Spears’ videos, but it’s definitely one worth re-watching. Playing herself as well as an actress, what the video lacks in dance breaks it makes up for with emotion. Just watch Spears sprinkle glitter throughout the sky and try not to cry.
6. “Womanizer”
We’ve spoken of comebacks before, and while this one certainly borrows heavily from “Toxic,” it was still a treat for fans. When you know what works, why mess with it?
7. “I’m A Slave 4 U”
Featuring Spears at her sexiest (and sweatiest), the vid for the hypnotic tune finds the singer grinding and dancing her heart out. With her enviable abs on display, Spears reminded everyone why she was considered the ultimate pop princess
8. “Me Against The Music”
At the time when the song dropped, this video — which featured a dance-off with Madonna — couldn’t be more popular. It features one of Britney’s all-time best dance breaks, and the fashion (hats! sexy menswear!) and styling keep it memorable to this day.
9. “Everytime”
The rare Britney ballad is often heartbreaking, and this one comes fully loaded with a couple shots that rank among the most memorable moments for Spears. Her running down the all-white hospital hall, as well as the ending in the bathtub, showed that even when Spears wasn’t busting a move she could still create moments worth watching.
10. “Circus”
The term comeback is thrown around often in Spears’ career, but “Circus” was certainly a later-years highlight. This polished video gave fans what they wanted to see — Brit manages to bust a few moves — while also bringing something different to the table. We won’t complain about Britney dancing her way through some kind of house party, but it’s a nice treat to see something new.
The Las vegas blog wrote an iconic article on 4 reasons as to why you need to see Britney Spears show “Piece Of Me”.
We were already big fans of “Britney: Piece of Me,” Britney Spears’ resident Las Vegas show at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. But then she somehow went and made it even better, relaunching just in time for Valentine’s Day with all-new costumes, a handful of new songs, new sets, and even more energy than ever before. We didn’t think it was possible to find new reasons to love Britney’s show, but guess what? We did.
1. BRITNEY LOVES ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
Britney Spears may be known as a pop princess, but that doesn’t mean the former “Star Search” contestant doesn’t know how to rock. In the latest version of “Piece of Me,” Britney and her band perform a pumped-up cover of “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” (made famous by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts), during which Britney rides a giant guitar like a mechanical bull.
2. A SERIOUS CASE OF WARDROBE ENVY
Bustiers. Capes. Crop-tops. Booty shorts. Boots. Leather. Sequins. Fishnets. Sure, there’s never been a shortage of hot costumes for either Britney or her troupe of hard-bodied dancers, but a girl doesn’t need an excuse to get a few new outfits, right? And somehow, they’re even sexier than before.
3. EVEN MORE BRITNEY HITS
In addition to “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” there’s a grip of new Britney Spears originals added to the show, including “If U Seek Amy,” “Breathe on Me” and “Touch of My Hand,” the latter of which Britney sings in the midst of sensual choreography with two shirtless male dancers. So, yeah, 3a: More beefcake.
4. DANCING … TILL THE WORLD ENDS
Britney Spears’ Las Vegas show has always been all about the dancing, both on stage and in the aisles. But more than ever before, “Piece of Me” is all about mixing Britney’s high-energy pop and dance hits with jaw-dropping graphics to create an atmosphere that’s almost more nightclub than concert. And the addition of a sick dance medley to three Missy Elliott songs ensures you’ll get your freak on.
We could not agree more with this reasons. We are SO proud of you Britney!!
