3 cheers for Britney Spears?

What a lot of hoo-ha Britney Spears has roused.

An artist singing something controversial.

How about that.

Has everyone forgotten the storm caused by the Bee Gees all those years ago? Fancy singing about drugs. Or Robbie William’s antics? Whatever’s happening to our standards?

Isn’t it one of the roles of an artist to reflect what is happening in the community, to challenge the taboos and to put them so far in your face that you can’t ignore them?

“She’s only doing it for the money.”

“She’s a mess. What else do you expect.”

“She’s crossed the line this time.”

Let’s drop the judgements, eh?

Her “why” is none of our concern, rather,

  • we need to listen to what she sings,
  • apply it to our lives,
  • accept, reject or reserve our opinion,
  • and get on with our own life,
  • evaluate any judgement based on stereotypes or the forbidden.
Moral censorship is often used as a means of control. There are standards and if they can’t stand a challenge, what use are they? What survives is what people value and no amount of tut-tutting or cheering is going to change that.

The controversy around Britney’s lyrics highlights one thing – do we know enough about sex to be able to make an informed comment either way?

Maybe she’s touched a raw nerve. As another spear (Shakespeare) once said: “Methinks they do protest too much.” Maybe Britney’s song has hit someone’s fantasy bone a little too closely?

Here’s to lovin’ and learnin’.
