I loved it! I cried and it was sad but really showed a diffrent side to her. It was bitter/sweet to watch her cry because I was able to see that side of her and showed how strong she really is and how bad people portrayed her when all she needed was her friends and her family to get better and everyone has there bad moments. I feel so bad that she can't even walk out of her house without being bothered. I definetly respect her and I appreciate her. Like her choreographer said we saw her get famous and grow up but we also saw her breakdown from being famous. I wish her all the best in her upcoming years and like she said it's not a comeback because she was never gone.!!!
It was a good documentary. Her life is scary! She is a very strong girl, and always smiling. Its a shame what has happened to her. You would think with all that money she has she wouldn't have problems. She kind of makes you be thankful for your quiet calm life.
i love her, shes awesome. i think everyone can relate to her in some way and can feel her sadness and lonliness. shes SO back and i wish her all the best!!
I couldnt BARE to watch it. Like most of her selfish fans..I was expecting to see the Britney we all knew and fell in love with..The happy go lucky smiling Brit..but this..man it really put into perspective everything is not as it seems and as I watched I felt horrible that we all wanted to see her succeed..as she continues to pay the price of fame..IMPORTANTLY what Madonna pointed out was golden..Madonna didnt grow up in the media/perez/myspace/Internet world we have today watching your every move..this poor girl..its all shes known.I love you Brit..you deserve happiness
So sad! The paps make me fuckin ill!! I hate seeing them swarm celebrities like they do to her! What a bunch of losers!!!! I give her nothing but respect for exposing herself like that, it had to be hard. No one deserves to live a life so sheltered. A lot of you may say that she chose this path in life, but to be invaded to such extremes is heartbreaking! I wish her nothing but the best in her career, and I hope she comes full circle.
LOVED IT! BRITNEY WAS SIMPLY AMAZING! SHE IS JUST SOO RAW AND REAL! …PS. Perez get your info straight Brit was never supposed to perform at the club in London she was supposed to make an appearance but not perform stop trying to bring her down and before you post stupid BS get your facts right
it was really good… i feel so bad for her. she has the ultimate form of fame; the kind that ruins someone's life. it's really unfortunate. she should really just leave the fame, but i understand if she is stuck since it is all she knows.
UNGRATEFUL HAG! Has anybody noticed that all she did was COMPLAIN the whole time!? Does she realize that every single thing is being done FOR her, including other people writing the songs, choreographing the routines, driving her around, oh poor, poor Britney! Gee, her life is so horrible! What about the people in India right now? Or Somalia? Or Iraq?
She never once mentioned regretting leaving her babies alone for a year…it was all about her, poor her! Does she not realize she got herself into this situation!
And she talks about how "boring" and "controlled" her life is, while crying…all the while she's shooting music videos, has a world tour coming up, gets to do what most people never get to do, EVER…and all she does is complain, bitch bitch bitch.
Why don't Beyonce, Christina, or Gwen have the melt down problems she has? Because frickin' Britney causes her own problems…stupid ungrateful person.
Also, "crispy" air? Honey, it's "crisp." Maybe you should go back to school.
not very interesting… but it was good to see she's healthier and getting her shit together. i'd prefer to see her having a boring, healthy life to being a fascinating trainwreck.
I agree with MangoSteena…..that was a crock she brought it all on herself and now that she was forced to let her dad run her affairs, she wants us to believe she had an epiphany……PUH-LEEZ!!
My views on Britney have changed, for the better. She is such a sweet person and I feel so bad for her. She seems completely lonely and isolated from the rest of the world. No wonder things turned out like they did. I wish her all the best.
I also just really love her realness….most celebrities out there want the rest of us to think that they have it all…even though so many of them are majorly FUCKED up and go through marriages divorces rehab and everything else more so then anyone, but they put on an act like they are better off then anyone else….Britney doesn't come off like that at all…she is grateful for everything that she has but at the same time she wants us to understand she is human, she feels lonliness, she wants love and being a celebrity isn't the best thing in the world….it made her so real and it made me like her even more just because it was so powerful…it made me realize that celebrity's really don't have it all no matter how perfect their lives us, we are all the same, we all have imperfections and struggles and whats so beautiful is that she, unlike most other celebrities, puts herself on equal ground with the rest of us
i loveeed it..she made me cry and laugh..it reminds me of a mix of princess diana and marylin manroe..britney is just like us and this shows that she goes through emotions the sameway all girls do..hers are just 10x harder to deal with when people are constantly watching your every move you don't get a chance to just be normal and live your life anymore..she constantly has to put on a face and it was just her time to take a break and she was confused and didn't know how to react to certain things..she has her guard up for so long .. i think she just wnated to be free and during that she found that she can never be free now..her fame has left her alone with nobody to really talk to .. everyone loves her and smiles and takes pictures but do they really love her? or just want to be her?
ps. madonna looked like an alien wtf is going on with her botox shit?
I loved it.. it was the smartest thing her management could have done at this point. You really got to see who was behind the brand name performer and saw a real person. I cried. I really felt for her.. especially when she couldn't even get out of the car and was saying how she can't do things such as walk with a friend on a nice night. Simple every day tasks we take for granted she cannot. Ever. She was very insightful and introspective… it's the best interview I've ever seen of her but that was obviously the point. At the ending of it when they were shooting her Circus music video and her dancer was talking about the fire in a performer's eyes and the music was so sad… I balled. Like legit balled my eyes out. I wish her all the best with her life and hopefully one day she'll be able to find some sort of normalcy… and get custody of her children back. I LOVED it.
AMAZING does not even begin to describe how good it was.
all you motherfucking haters, can suck my motherfucking dick.
ha im just playing no but really it was so good, and she was so honest, and it was sad, and exciting, and ughhhhh i just feel so fucking GOOD now that i watched that! and if you really have something bad to say, save it and go do something better with your life, like get off your damn computer and go talk to someone you like coz u just look like an idiot sitting on perezhilton.com saying how much you hate britney. cozzz you know that - she is like a million times better than you will EVER BEEEE
lovez you brit.
Britney is awesome i seen her in new light ,i felt like .she thought os herself as being prison,like she wanted freedom that so many us have,i love her honesty and madonna was fierce. team britney!
she is very very likable, that is her charm and that is why she will always have a fan base and make good money.
i cannot feel bad for her. after all, if it was that bad, she would leave hollywood. but she won't cuz she has a love/hate relationship with fame, and she thinks she loves to perform soooo much. then why does she move like a robot? cuz her heart is not in it any longer. she's addicted to fame. and what's with madonna? as long as b.s. continues to keep the company of people like that, i don't think she will do well mentally and emotionally. madonna is kinda sick in the head herself, has anyone not noticed this?!? she's catwoman, for pete's sake.
but back to britney. i don't think she will ever have peace until she walks away, once and for all, from fame, hollywood, vanity, materialism. it ain't good for the soul, and she knows it.
It was AMAZING!
It was way better than I expected it to be.
& it made me love her even more!
It was really sad, and funny at some parts.
She really deserves her chance to go out and live,
without having every single eye on her & a million people chasing her.
I really hope she can go outside and be normal once again & just walk down the grove.
i know america loves a good sob story and a comeback, but this is britney:
started by pushing the envelope in a pedophile's drea outfit - catholic school uniform
stole another woman's husband and father of two young children
made out with a woman old enought to be her mother on stage
succumbed to pressure that her husband was a hanger-on…
then posed in lude photos suggesting sex in a confessional… i guess in a last bid attempt to get her mojo back…
i think she's just an idiot with manipulation skills. thx mtv for a very biased piece…
I don't know why, but I find watching documentaries about celebrities, especially Britney, so enticing. It has to do with the honestly and the behind the scenes action. Britney has always been endearing and honest, which is why I continually like her.
I agree that we need to pass a law with rules for the paparazzi and actually enforce them. A small percentage are very nice people just trying to get a shot whom aren't aggressive, but some (like the guy in the green with dreads who was yelling his head off in the documentary) need to be taught a lesson. Find a new craft, do something for YOURSELF. But, if they do photograph a celebrity the payout should not be so large because THAT'S what they're after! Right?! It made me sick to my stomach imagining myself going through that. It's obviously not the worst thing in the world, but when it comes to what she goes through on a daily basis… I would be scared, too. She can't even take her kids out with her… then people talk that she's never with her kids. It's such a double-standard. Until you've lived a life like that… nobody can't even begin to judge!
Keep on going, Brit… you'll get there!
Re: apexx – She actually said at one point "When I have a bad day, I always try to remember that there people out there that have it worse than me". She isn't that selfish. Her world is pretty hellacious. Just because it's not the worst situation in the world, doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel pain or call it "hell on earth". People handle things differently, and I don't think you'd like it if someone said what you said about one of your toughest situations. HER situations with the paparrazi are probably some of the worst moments in her life. Just because she has it better off financially than others doesn't mean she can't feel and express her pain. Your comment is proof that this world is money driven. Apparently, money should equal happiness and only happiness; rich people must not be allowed to be depressed. Hmm. Oh well.
that was beyond bad. And she can only lipsync her computer generated voice, and now can no longer dance. And when she had that black short wig on. that's when I said enough, and turned the channel.
OMG! I just saw her documentary on these couple of months…WOW
I used to not really like Britney because she was a hot mess and well I'm not really for being a hot mess when having kids…
However after seeing this documentary I LOVE HER! I think she is very genuine and was just learning through her mistakes as we all do.
Hasta me hiso llorar la maje when she broke down and said…"I'm just sad" pk even tho she has all these people around she is Lonely and guys have been with her for all the wrong reasons. I could also tell she loves Justin very much (they should get back together lol) I recommend it! For those who missed it Youtube it!
Now I think Amy should have one of these…Road to Recovery documentary lol something to relate to an ex-trainwreck! hahahaha
Re: MangoSteena – You are an idiot and obviously didn't take the time to watch the documentary. Instead, you found quotes and decided that since you are a britney hater you would continue to bash her. First off, Britney states in the film that she is sad but she also acknowledged that many people in the world have it far worse that her and that she does not want to be protrayed as a victim. Secondly, Beyonce and Gwen do not face the media scrutiny that Britney goes through every day. If you watched the doc u would have noticed that brit has about 50 photographers on her at all times. She can not do anything without security. She is under a microscope that no one else is under. You truly are ignorant.
At first I was expecting more complaining…but now, I realize why she is a legend…People may think she isn't because her music isn't about important issues but this document actually showed a side of hers I would imagine but I would not imagine her to handle it this well. Although some may argue she was complaining, I believed it was the most intelligent way of complaining without complaining completely. Paparazzi obviously broke her down into bits and people can't help but hate her because of her money. She's going to have to realize that the best way to actually relieve all that stress is to write music about it and I swear the more realistic your album is the better it sounds. I'm proud of her for actually confessing that and I will wish her the best in the future.
I saw it. It was so great. She made me cry. I was really touched.
.
I was never quick to judge Britney, but I hope whoever was watches the documentary.
loved it! seemed much more normal than she used to. i just wish she would have had more involving her kids. love her even more now. i feel like she'd be the coolest friend to have ever. and i feel really sorry for her having to deal with all the crazy photographers.
xoxo
yeah buddy im pretty sure she did not abandon her children…she went into court with kevin and kevin won the rights to have the children live with him. Thee whole reason why she is miserable is because she cant really show her children the world because paparazzi had been chasing her. She has no intention of being a bad Mother it's just hard to balance fame and private life
actually, you moron, I'm no idiot and I'm not a Britney basher. I actually respected her somewhat BEFORE I saw this.
Yes, she said "there are people who have it worse than me" but that little statement did not even begin to make up for the fact that she complained through the ENTIRE show, and never showed any remorse for being a selfish negligent awful mother who would rather party and be a whore and show her vagina to the world than take care of her kids.
and media scrutiny? clearly, britney asks for it. Because beyonce, christina, and gwen are far more talented than britney and they don't deal with those kind of problems.
so you're stupid.
Re: shomakhang – if you payed attention in the documentary you would realize why britney can't leave hollywood- her kids, she even said when she was in New York a part of her hated being there and she knew it was like a dream and she had to wake up…Kevin is in LA and he has custody of the kids, how can she leave LA? She's is getting better so hopefully she gets custody of her children soon and then leaves LA
"there are people who have it worse than me" —- yes, there are people with real problems! somewhere deep in her mind britney MUST realize that she can't blame her beyond poor choices on paparazzi. maybe when she figures it out those are not FANatics can see that maturity and the need for her independence. she can never survive independently. did you see all the "yes" men/women around her?
Re: MangoSteena – get over it…she admitted she made mistakes, everybody does she is a frigging human, except usually when people make mistakes they don't have the whole world watching them….as far as gwen/christina they didn't have their husband's leave them and pretty much use them to get famous…in that sense you're right it is Britney's fault and she admits that she made mistakes in her judgement and she chose people that used her and she is made at her self for being so naive and she is mad at the people that used her…she was lost and confused and she admitted it she is only human when something like that happens to anyone they handle it just like her or worse…as far as complaining..she wasn't she was answering questions that were asked of her….you are entitled to your opinion but at the same time you shouldnt be so quick to judge
i thought that britney was so adorable, and it was just britney, telling it how it is, you know? she was so like, honest, and she's so cute! i can't get enough of her. i'm obsessed with her. and i CANNOT wait for circus to drop. oh wow. i'm going to rush to the store to purchase her album! i respect her so much as an artist, and i hope to one day be as successful as she is. because i want to be a performer, and she has some serious guts. she goes through so much and it makes me so happy to know that she's still so alive and so happy. she's such an inspiration and i love her with all my heart. trulllly.
I am a fan. I made it a point to watch this. I have never cried during a documentary before but how could you not? She is very sad and still needs time to heal. She can't be compared to Christina or Gwen they are so completely different. The scrutiny this girl has endured is unbelievable. I was scared for a while that she wasn't going to make it through those crazy times alive. To see and hear talk about these things was very moving. I am also blown away by all the positive comments people are leaving every where about it. A little over a year ago, there definately would not have been so much positivity in her direction. People had her dead and buried. She is intelligent and had a very rough patch. Glad to see her trying to overcome her issues. Her new album is amazing and after this she is so much more amazing.
She is the reason I came out of the closet in early 99 and her music has helped me through some of the toughest times in my life so far. So to see her speaking about things and expressing the sadness in fame tore at my heart. She even hinted at an autobiography in the future.
She wouldn't piss on any of us if we were on fire. Why does everyone actually "care" about a person they never met while people in their own lives suffer from this or that? Get real and grow up.
Re: Gossip_Lea – what makes you think it wasn't unbiased ?
It's a britney documentary not a ghandi one. If you were actually paying attention to the documentary, you would have realized that she really did answer a lot of the questions asked throughout the period of time she was going through when she cracked.
I felt that it was amazing that she finally reached out to everyone so that we can finally figure out why exactly she went the direction she did. She kinda put pieces and pieces together throughout many interviews (like she said..people hear her but they dont listen) but overall she completed the puzzle with this documentary. Although it must suck to have to be swarmed by paparazzi so much to the point where you can't even take your kids out for a walk to the grocery store…im pretty sure millions of americans would want to be in her place right now than have their house foreclosed or their jobs lost. I think that she is still a very lucky person to have all this money to live off of for the rest of her life…and have a bunch of other luxuries to entertain herself with as well. Thats what stardom does to you. Theres always a bad and good to everything. I know celebrities have much more of a risk than us because they're more known to strangers they have never seen before…
Re: MangoSteena – I agree to some extent –as far as not being the best mother.. but have u stopped to wonder why?? Look at britney's own mother.. at times she seems like a sweet woman, a mom who like britney said once would take all the kids out put on some really loud music and wash a car on a hot afternoon in louisianna. but lynne spears is very much like her daughter in the sense that they are both self absorbed mothers, and certainly don't put their kids before themselves.. britney never saw a self-less mother, her mom was more like her friend/at times enemy, so she grew up and matured really fast… her children will mature even faster than her…. all in all, i really feel that britney needs to say goodbye to the limelight completely and go back to where she came from… considering her situation now, she obviously can't do this, but at least i hope she doesn't become the same selfish mother her mom was to the boys…. hopefully she wins back custody, gets married to a non-hollywood type and settles down.. it seems that she wants that more than a booming career..
We watched it last night. It wasn't amazing or anything. Good for her to do that, but it certainly was not a life changing experience. As much as a think she can be a freak… I do enjoy some of her music and wouldn't want her life at all. Hope that some day she will be able to experience "normal" life!
Ok first I don't think she was very candid on some things, like when asked about her "freaking out" She was just like yeah I had a bad year I dealt with things bad I'm not gonna sugar coat it, so I thought something more was coming, then no. Also whenever she talked she truly looks like she has something wrong with her. I felt so bad for her, her eyes kept darting uncontrollably and she had like a head twitch, not sure if she just kept leaning to the side or if this was involuntary. Either way I do feel unltimately sad for her, she needs lot of hugs and encouragement.
OMG you're all sheep. Sucking it up just like they want you to. Its all fabricated and bullshit. Lets see more pics of her father clamping his hand over her mouth, thats more like her real life. What we all witnessed is a load of crap. I don't believe it for a minute.
Yeah i watched..It is sad that bubble that is her life..Eventhough I am rooting for her think she is still not stable enough to be promoting an album and tour..She seems way better just still not stable enough to handle the pressure..And what about that interviewers voice sounded like MARTIN BRASIR INFAMOUS INTERVIEWER FOR MICHAEL JACKSON crazy bannanas
Perez, why would I watch her skunkhole? Enough with her stupid posts. She needs to be locked away. What good she is? All she does is piss people off and give everyone a bunch of bullshit.
Why can't they do a documentary about someone more worthwhile and talented, like say, oh I don't know……PINK?????!! At least Pink has been civil to her ex in their split and probably won't complain about him. But then again comparing Carey Hart to K-Fed is like comparing apples and oranges.
"For The Record" was so real and raw and uncut that you really were at the edge of your seat. The ending was very invigurating. She has come full circle. Even people that aren't fans would get something out of this. It was great
How is she ever going to really be better when instead of spending her first sort of healthy holiday with her boys trying to heal herself, she is lip synching and humiliating herself all over Europe. Nobody there is trying to help her, they are all still just trying to get her functional enough to make them lots of money. Now I can't wait to see what she does with her Christmas holiday.
I think she still seemed very vulnerable and should remain in the conservatorship with her father. She has two kids and still seems to believe that she's missing out on something by not going to the clubs. Sure, clubbing can be fun, but you certainly don't miss anything by staying home. The last thing this girl needs is to give the paps more opportunities to ambush her. I also think she needs to get out of Hollywood as soon as the custody situation with Kevin allows her to do so.
What was up with Madonna's face? The only thing on it that moves is her mouth and even that looks funny. Girlfriend needs to back off the botox. I also think she may have had some work done. She just doesn't look the same.
I used to think she was…well….that's not important. I now have respect for her and I really do wish her the best! She is human like you and me! I understand and identify with a lot she was saying. I'm glad she did this and is surrounding herself with people who love her.
I thought it was amazing.
She was so honest, and i was glued to the screen the entire time!
I have so much respect and admiration for her now!
Definitely buying "Circus"
she is rocking.I love her now even more…
Are you a great singer, dancer, or pianist? Or, Uploaded.TV provides you an opening to show the world your talents, by uploading your performance video in www.uploaded.tv. Your video will appear on real TV, all over the globe!
she looked uncomfortable and completely medicated..she got lucky that girl is pretty talentless-except her dancing moves..her singing is bad, her new songs are horrific too
Did not watch it, did not care to watch it…. This girl is NOT ready for a goddamn comeback…. Yeah, she should be left alone to rehabilitate herself… She can't stand to NOT be in the spotlight…. Did anyone regret her whole "If they don't take your picture, people with forget you?" scenario??? This girl NEEDS to leave the limelight period…. Not to be pushed back on stage because that is the only time she is "ever happy"…. Really? Then why have these performances been sucking ass? …. Just let it go for a while!!! So what if people forget you for a while…. "Pop star images" do it all the time…. They go away, they come back…. Take your kids to Disney world, go lay on a beach…. in a bathing suit, not your underwear! lol ok, I'm done
i thought it was a bit long…
and the longer it went on, the less i felt sorry for her…
i mean, she has lead a very contolled and 'technical' life…
but because of her fame and fortune, truly, she has been placed in circumstances that are still better than many, many people.
i found she contradicted herself quite a bit also…
'my life is so hard… i can't walk down the street… i hate this, i hate that…'
then it's 'i love what i do… i'm so lucky…' a bit of the woe-is-me came out and that turned me off…
watching the documentary solidified that she IS human, but… stop the complaining….
at the end of it all, i still like her…
m.
Didn't watch…wouldn't watch it…would rather poke large sticks into my eyes,
Britney is part of a large money making machine - and the machine is hungry for more.
I thought it was very good. It was nice to be able to actually hear from her and hear I from her own lips. Yes, we can read the magazines but how much of that is just the writer tweaking what Britney has said to make the article what it is? I also was very moved when she said she was sad. There aren't many people in the Entertainment business, I don't think, that would admittedly say that. Poor thing only wants to be with her kids and a man and never be in the spotlight again. That's what I got from the whole thing. Britney is doing this because this is what her people want her to do. It was also a nice touch with all the Madonna =D
-She seemed so uncomfortable around Madonna. I think there's a lot of water under that bridge.
-Her father is trying to get her fat again with those "cheese grits".
-She doesn't have any real friends, just people who fake a lot of laughs at whatever she says.
-She showed us how scary the paps can be to celebs.
-She's not that crazy after all.
i almost cried. i feel so bad that she cant lead a semi-normal life like other celebs and be able to walk out of her house without getting attacked by paparazzi.
I loved it. I felt for britney. She seems more like a human now more then ever. She seems like a person i could be friends with. Her and her dad are funny together. Keep doing what you do Karate Kid.
i loved it! i was never a huge supporter in britney spears but in the last few years i've been feeling really bad for her. i could never imagine the lifestyle that she lives and to see her getting back on track is good for herself and her kids. i will admit, i did get a little teary when she started crying and saying she was sad, i felt so bad for her.
Let me start by saying that I love her……but watching the documentary made me sad. You can see that no one ever let this girl grow up, she is still such a little kid. She has people that do everything for her, it's no wonder why she went crazy. I also am not even sure she wants to keep doing this anymore. I have no doubt she loves the performing, singing, and dancing but the pressure seems to be too much. Just my opinion but even just look at her when she is being interviewed, she is constantly fidgeting and looks super uncomfortable.
Loading...
I loved it! I cried and it was sad but really showed a diffrent side to her. It was bitter/sweet to watch her cry because I was able to see that side of her and showed how strong she really is and how bad people portrayed her when all she needed was her friends and her family to get better and everyone has there bad moments. I feel so bad that she can't even walk out of her house without being bothered. I definetly respect her and I appreciate her. Like her choreographer said we saw her get famous and grow up but we also saw her breakdown from being famous. I wish her all the best in her upcoming years and like she said it's not a comeback because she was never gone.!!!
Re: apexx – I'm almost certain she ment some of the cruelest people of the world!
It was a good documentary. Her life is scary! She is a very strong girl, and always smiling. Its a shame what has happened to her. You would think with all that money she has she wouldn't have problems. She kind of makes you be thankful for your quiet calm life.
i love her, shes awesome. i think everyone can relate to her in some way and can feel her sadness and lonliness. shes SO back and i wish her all the best!!
Honestly……
I couldnt BARE to watch it. Like most of her selfish fans..I was expecting to see the Britney we all knew and fell in love with..The happy go lucky smiling Brit..but this..man it really put into perspective everything is not as it seems and as I watched I felt horrible that we all wanted to see her succeed..as she continues to pay the price of fame..IMPORTANTLY what Madonna pointed out was golden..Madonna didnt grow up in the media/perez/myspace/Internet world we have today watching your every move..this poor girl..its all shes known.I love you Brit..you deserve happiness
i felt so sorry for her…she seems more normal now but just not satisfied or as happy as she should be
So sad! The paps make me fuckin ill!! I hate seeing them swarm celebrities like they do to her! What a bunch of losers!!!! I give her nothing but respect for exposing herself like that, it had to be hard. No one deserves to live a life so sheltered. A lot of you may say that she chose this path in life, but to be invaded to such extremes is heartbreaking! I wish her nothing but the best in her career, and I hope she comes full circle.
i loveddddddd it and love britney even more now =D
LOVED IT! BRITNEY WAS SIMPLY AMAZING! SHE IS JUST SOO RAW AND REAL! …PS. Perez get your info straight Brit was never supposed to perform at the club in London she was supposed to make an appearance but not perform stop trying to bring her down and before you post stupid BS get your facts right
MADONNA LOOKS LIKE A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
it was really good… i feel so bad for her. she has the ultimate form of fame; the kind that ruins someone's life. it's really unfortunate. she should really just leave the fame, but i understand if she is stuck since it is all she knows.
UNGRATEFUL HAG! Has anybody noticed that all she did was COMPLAIN the whole time!? Does she realize that every single thing is being done FOR her, including other people writing the songs, choreographing the routines, driving her around, oh poor, poor Britney! Gee, her life is so horrible! What about the people in India right now? Or Somalia? Or Iraq?
She never once mentioned regretting leaving her babies alone for a year…it was all about her, poor her! Does she not realize she got herself into this situation!
And she talks about how "boring" and "controlled" her life is, while crying…all the while she's shooting music videos, has a world tour coming up, gets to do what most people never get to do, EVER…and all she does is complain, bitch bitch bitch.
Why don't Beyonce, Christina, or Gwen have the melt down problems she has? Because frickin' Britney causes her own problems…stupid ungrateful person.
Also, "crispy" air? Honey, it's "crisp." Maybe you should go back to school.
It was amazing. I didnt expect it to be that great. I cant wait till Dec 2nd. Best Buy here I come. I hope her tour is great also. I will be there.
i L-O-V-E love her!!
not very interesting… but it was good to see she's healthier and getting her shit together. i'd prefer to see her having a boring, healthy life to being a fascinating trainwreck.
LOVED IT!
I hope this helps her in life…and I really hope that she gets to be on her own soon and NOT being controlled by her father
I agree with MangoSteena…..that was a crock she brought it all on herself and now that she was forced to let her dad run her affairs, she wants us to believe she had an epiphany……PUH-LEEZ!!
My views on Britney have changed, for the better. She is such a sweet person and I feel so bad for her. She seems completely lonely and isolated from the rest of the world. No wonder things turned out like they did. I wish her all the best.
I also just really love her realness….most celebrities out there want the rest of us to think that they have it all…even though so many of them are majorly FUCKED up and go through marriages divorces rehab and everything else more so then anyone, but they put on an act like they are better off then anyone else….Britney doesn't come off like that at all…she is grateful for everything that she has but at the same time she wants us to understand she is human, she feels lonliness, she wants love and being a celebrity isn't the best thing in the world….it made her so real and it made me like her even more just because it was so powerful…it made me realize that celebrity's really don't have it all no matter how perfect their lives us, we are all the same, we all have imperfections and struggles and whats so beautiful is that she, unlike most other celebrities, puts herself on equal ground with the rest of us
i loveeed it..she made me cry and laugh..it reminds me of a mix of princess diana and marylin manroe..britney is just like us and this shows that she goes through emotions the sameway all girls do..hers are just 10x harder to deal with when people are constantly watching your every move you don't get a chance to just be normal and live your life anymore..she constantly has to put on a face and it was just her time to take a break and she was confused and didn't know how to react to certain things..she has her guard up for so long .. i think she just wnated to be free and during that she found that she can never be free now..her fame has left her alone with nobody to really talk to .. everyone loves her and smiles and takes pictures but do they really love her? or just want to be her?
ps. madonna looked like an alien wtf is going on with her botox shit?
I loved it.. it was the smartest thing her management could have done at this point. You really got to see who was behind the brand name performer and saw a real person. I cried. I really felt for her.. especially when she couldn't even get out of the car and was saying how she can't do things such as walk with a friend on a nice night. Simple every day tasks we take for granted she cannot. Ever. She was very insightful and introspective… it's the best interview I've ever seen of her but that was obviously the point. At the ending of it when they were shooting her Circus music video and her dancer was talking about the fire in a performer's eyes and the music was so sad… I balled. Like legit balled my eyes out. I wish her all the best with her life and hopefully one day she'll be able to find some sort of normalcy… and get custody of her children back. I LOVED it.
AMAZING does not even begin to describe how good it was.
all you motherfucking haters, can suck my motherfucking dick.
ha im just playing no but really it was so good, and she was so honest, and it was sad, and exciting, and ughhhhh i just feel so fucking GOOD now that i watched that! and if you really have something bad to say, save it and go do something better with your life, like get off your damn computer and go talk to someone you like coz u just look like an idiot sitting on perezhilton.com saying how much you hate britney. cozzz you know that - she is like a million times better than you will EVER BEEEE
lovez you brit.
yes i watched it i loved it i finally saw the "real" britney and i think her best is still yet to come
LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Britney, you looked AMAZING, love the new album, love everything!
You're back, even though you were never really gone
:)
I LOVE HER as I have for the past 10 years.
Britney is awesome i seen her in new light ,i felt like .she thought os herself as being prison,like she wanted freedom that so many us have,i love her honesty and madonna was fierce. team britney!
she is very very likable, that is her charm and that is why she will always have a fan base and make good money.
i cannot feel bad for her. after all, if it was that bad, she would leave hollywood. but she won't cuz she has a love/hate relationship with fame, and she thinks she loves to perform soooo much. then why does she move like a robot? cuz her heart is not in it any longer. she's addicted to fame. and what's with madonna? as long as b.s. continues to keep the company of people like that, i don't think she will do well mentally and emotionally. madonna is kinda sick in the head herself, has anyone not noticed this?!? she's catwoman, for pete's sake.
but back to britney. i don't think she will ever have peace until she walks away, once and for all, from fame, hollywood, vanity, materialism. it ain't good for the soul, and she knows it.
Re: jameson –
sam lufti…
remember that guy was crazy and manipulative as fuck to britney!
It was AMAZING!
It was way better than I expected it to be.
& it made me love her even more!
It was really sad, and funny at some parts.
She really deserves her chance to go out and live,
without having every single eye on her & a million people chasing her.
I really hope she can go outside and be normal once again & just walk down the grove.
i know america loves a good sob story and a comeback, but this is britney:
started by pushing the envelope in a pedophile's drea outfit - catholic school uniform
stole another woman's husband and father of two young children
made out with a woman old enought to be her mother on stage
succumbed to pressure that her husband was a hanger-on…
then posed in lude photos suggesting sex in a confessional… i guess in a last bid attempt to get her mojo back…
i think she's just an idiot with manipulation skills. thx mtv for a very biased piece…
I don't know why, but I find watching documentaries about celebrities, especially Britney, so enticing. It has to do with the honestly and the behind the scenes action. Britney has always been endearing and honest, which is why I continually like her.
I agree that we need to pass a law with rules for the paparazzi and actually enforce them. A small percentage are very nice people just trying to get a shot whom aren't aggressive, but some (like the guy in the green with dreads who was yelling his head off in the documentary) need to be taught a lesson. Find a new craft, do something for YOURSELF. But, if they do photograph a celebrity the payout should not be so large because THAT'S what they're after! Right?! It made me sick to my stomach imagining myself going through that. It's obviously not the worst thing in the world, but when it comes to what she goes through on a daily basis… I would be scared, too. She can't even take her kids out with her… then people talk that she's never with her kids. It's such a double-standard. Until you've lived a life like that… nobody can't even begin to judge!
Keep on going, Brit… you'll get there!
Re: apexx – She actually said at one point "When I have a bad day, I always try to remember that there people out there that have it worse than me". She isn't that selfish. Her world is pretty hellacious. Just because it's not the worst situation in the world, doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel pain or call it "hell on earth". People handle things differently, and I don't think you'd like it if someone said what you said about one of your toughest situations. HER situations with the paparrazi are probably some of the worst moments in her life. Just because she has it better off financially than others doesn't mean she can't feel and express her pain. Your comment is proof that this world is money driven. Apparently, money should equal happiness and only happiness; rich people must not be allowed to be depressed. Hmm. Oh well.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME PEOPLE.
that was beyond bad. And she can only lipsync her computer generated voice, and now can no longer dance. And when she had that black short wig on. that's when I said enough, and turned the channel.
and that was NO documentary.
OMG! I just saw her documentary on these couple of months…WOW
I used to not really like Britney because she was a hot mess and well I'm not really for being a hot mess when having kids…
However after seeing this documentary I LOVE HER! I think she is very genuine and was just learning through her mistakes as we all do.
Hasta me hiso llorar la maje when she broke down and said…"I'm just sad" pk even tho she has all these people around she is Lonely and guys have been with her for all the wrong reasons. I could also tell she loves Justin very much (they should get back together lol) I recommend it! For those who missed it Youtube it!
Now I think Amy should have one of these…Road to Recovery documentary lol something to relate to an ex-trainwreck! hahahaha
Re: MangoSteena – You are an idiot and obviously didn't take the time to watch the documentary. Instead, you found quotes and decided that since you are a britney hater you would continue to bash her. First off, Britney states in the film that she is sad but she also acknowledged that many people in the world have it far worse that her and that she does not want to be protrayed as a victim. Secondly, Beyonce and Gwen do not face the media scrutiny that Britney goes through every day. If you watched the doc u would have noticed that brit has about 50 photographers on her at all times. She can not do anything without security. She is under a microscope that no one else is under. You truly are ignorant.
At first I was expecting more complaining…but now, I realize why she is a legend…People may think she isn't because her music isn't about important issues but this document actually showed a side of hers I would imagine but I would not imagine her to handle it this well. Although some may argue she was complaining, I believed it was the most intelligent way of complaining without complaining completely. Paparazzi obviously broke her down into bits and people can't help but hate her because of her money. She's going to have to realize that the best way to actually relieve all that stress is to write music about it and I swear the more realistic your album is the better it sounds. I'm proud of her for actually confessing that and I will wish her the best in the future.
I saw it. It was so great. She made me cry. I was really touched.
.
I was never quick to judge Britney, but I hope whoever was watches the documentary.
post the vid please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Britney's back!
loved it! seemed much more normal than she used to. i just wish she would have had more involving her kids. love her even more now. i feel like she'd be the coolest friend to have ever. and i feel really sorry for her having to deal with all the crazy photographers.
xoxo
Re: straighticketvoter –
yeah buddy im pretty sure she did not abandon her children…she went into court with kevin and kevin won the rights to have the children live with him. Thee whole reason why she is miserable is because she cant really show her children the world because paparazzi had been chasing her. She has no intention of being a bad Mother it's just hard to balance fame and private life
Re: anthonydavid702 –
actually, you moron, I'm no idiot and I'm not a Britney basher. I actually respected her somewhat BEFORE I saw this.
Yes, she said "there are people who have it worse than me" but that little statement did not even begin to make up for the fact that she complained through the ENTIRE show, and never showed any remorse for being a selfish negligent awful mother who would rather party and be a whore and show her vagina to the world than take care of her kids.
and media scrutiny? clearly, britney asks for it. Because beyonce, christina, and gwen are far more talented than britney and they don't deal with those kind of problems.
so you're stupid.
She's back!
any idea if SA will see the documentary????
Re: shomakhang – if you payed attention in the documentary you would realize why britney can't leave hollywood- her kids, she even said when she was in New York a part of her hated being there and she knew it was like a dream and she had to wake up…Kevin is in LA and he has custody of the kids, how can she leave LA? She's is getting better so hopefully she gets custody of her children soon and then leaves LA
i loved it! amazing but not to a detail like i expected but i love her! im HUGE fan!!!!!!
i only caught the last 40 mins of it, but from that I loved it. I can't wait to watch the whole thing again tomorrow.
"there are people who have it worse than me" —- yes, there are people with real problems! somewhere deep in her mind britney MUST realize that she can't blame her beyond poor choices on paparazzi. maybe when she figures it out those are not FANatics can see that maturity and the need for her independence. she can never survive independently. did you see all the "yes" men/women around her?
Re: MangoSteena – get over it…she admitted she made mistakes, everybody does she is a frigging human, except usually when people make mistakes they don't have the whole world watching them….as far as gwen/christina they didn't have their husband's leave them and pretty much use them to get famous…in that sense you're right it is Britney's fault and she admits that she made mistakes in her judgement and she chose people that used her and she is made at her self for being so naive and she is mad at the people that used her…she was lost and confused and she admitted it she is only human when something like that happens to anyone they handle it just like her or worse…as far as complaining..she wasn't she was answering questions that were asked of her….you are entitled to your opinion but at the same time you shouldnt be so quick to judge
i thought that britney was so adorable, and it was just britney, telling it how it is, you know? she was so like, honest, and she's so cute! i can't get enough of her. i'm obsessed with her. and i CANNOT wait for circus to drop. oh wow. i'm going to rush to the store to purchase her album! i respect her so much as an artist, and i hope to one day be as successful as she is. because i want to be a performer, and she has some serious guts. she goes through so much and it makes me so happy to know that she's still so alive and so happy. she's such an inspiration and i love her with all my heart. trulllly.
I am a fan. I made it a point to watch this. I have never cried during a documentary before but how could you not? She is very sad and still needs time to heal. She can't be compared to Christina or Gwen they are so completely different. The scrutiny this girl has endured is unbelievable. I was scared for a while that she wasn't going to make it through those crazy times alive. To see and hear talk about these things was very moving. I am also blown away by all the positive comments people are leaving every where about it. A little over a year ago, there definately would not have been so much positivity in her direction. People had her dead and buried. She is intelligent and had a very rough patch. Glad to see her trying to overcome her issues. Her new album is amazing and after this she is so much more amazing.
She is the reason I came out of the closet in early 99 and her music has helped me through some of the toughest times in my life so far. So to see her speaking about things and expressing the sadness in fame tore at my heart. She even hinted at an autobiography in the future.
She wouldn't piss on any of us if we were on fire. Why does everyone actually "care" about a person they never met while people in their own lives suffer from this or that? Get real and grow up.
The documentary did exactly what it was designed to do. It also did something else, if you're astute enough to see it.
Re: Gossip_Lea – what makes you think it wasn't unbiased ?
It's a britney documentary not a ghandi one. If you were actually paying attention to the documentary, you would have realized that she really did answer a lot of the questions asked throughout the period of time she was going through when she cracked.
FIERCE BRITNEY !!!
I felt that it was amazing that she finally reached out to everyone so that we can finally figure out why exactly she went the direction she did. She kinda put pieces and pieces together throughout many interviews (like she said..people hear her but they dont listen) but overall she completed the puzzle with this documentary. Although it must suck to have to be swarmed by paparazzi so much to the point where you can't even take your kids out for a walk to the grocery store…im pretty sure millions of americans would want to be in her place right now than have their house foreclosed or their jobs lost. I think that she is still a very lucky person to have all this money to live off of for the rest of her life…and have a bunch of other luxuries to entertain herself with as well. Thats what stardom does to you. Theres always a bad and good to everything. I know celebrities have much more of a risk than us because they're more known to strangers they have never seen before…
Anyway, overall, the documentary was great.
Re: MangoSteena – I agree to some extent –as far as not being the best mother.. but have u stopped to wonder why?? Look at britney's own mother.. at times she seems like a sweet woman, a mom who like britney said once would take all the kids out put on some really loud music and wash a car on a hot afternoon in louisianna. but lynne spears is very much like her daughter in the sense that they are both self absorbed mothers, and certainly don't put their kids before themselves.. britney never saw a self-less mother, her mom was more like her friend/at times enemy, so she grew up and matured really fast… her children will mature even faster than her…. all in all, i really feel that britney needs to say goodbye to the limelight completely and go back to where she came from… considering her situation now, she obviously can't do this, but at least i hope she doesn't become the same selfish mother her mom was to the boys…. hopefully she wins back custody, gets married to a non-hollywood type and settles down.. it seems that she wants that more than a booming career..
We watched it last night. It wasn't amazing or anything. Good for her to do that, but it certainly was not a life changing experience. As much as a think she can be a freak… I do enjoy some of her music and wouldn't want her life at all. Hope that some day she will be able to experience "normal" life!
Ok first I don't think she was very candid on some things, like when asked about her "freaking out" She was just like yeah I had a bad year I dealt with things bad I'm not gonna sugar coat it, so I thought something more was coming, then no. Also whenever she talked she truly looks like she has something wrong with her. I felt so bad for her, her eyes kept darting uncontrollably and she had like a head twitch, not sure if she just kept leaning to the side or if this was involuntary. Either way I do feel unltimately sad for her, she needs lot of hugs and encouragement.
I Love briteny
DD she´s back for real 
yeah!!
This just goes to show that Britney needs alot of psychiatric help. It was also alittle creepy.
OMG you're all sheep. Sucking it up just like they want you to. Its all fabricated and bullshit. Lets see more pics of her father clamping his hand over her mouth, thats more like her real life. What we all witnessed is a load of crap. I don't believe it for a minute.
yay! thats my girl!
Re: Jceasar101 – right on.
I think that she is trying to make everyone think she was still working in the studio instead of in a drug induced daze for the past year and a half.
For one did I hear her say baby daddy;
and two I think she said, "Doesn't everyone shave their heads?"
I'm not buying it, or even her next album.
God bless you Britney. WE LOVE YOU!!!
by the way, may God bless those haters… may u find inner peace & real happiness.
BRITNEY stay strong!!! WE LOVE YOU BRIT!!!
It was amaizing!!!!!!!!!!!!
looooove her! She was amazing!
Yeah i watched..It is sad that bubble that is her life..Eventhough I am rooting for her think she is still not stable enough to be promoting an album and tour..She seems way better just still not stable enough to handle the pressure..And what about that interviewers voice sounded like MARTIN BRASIR INFAMOUS INTERVIEWER FOR MICHAEL JACKSON crazy bannanas
Perez, why would I watch her skunkhole? Enough with her stupid posts. She needs to be locked away. What good she is? All she does is piss people off and give everyone a bunch of bullshit.
Why can't they do a documentary about someone more worthwhile and talented, like say, oh I don't know……PINK?????!! At least Pink has been civil to her ex in their split and probably won't complain about him. But then again comparing Carey Hart to K-Fed is like comparing apples and oranges.
"For The Record" was so real and raw and uncut that you really were at the edge of your seat. The ending was very invigurating. She has come full circle. Even people that aren't fans would get something out of this. It was great
How is she ever going to really be better when instead of spending her first sort of healthy holiday with her boys trying to heal herself, she is lip synching and humiliating herself all over Europe. Nobody there is trying to help her, they are all still just trying to get her functional enough to make them lots of money. Now I can't wait to see what she does with her Christmas holiday.
I think she still seemed very vulnerable and should remain in the conservatorship with her father. She has two kids and still seems to believe that she's missing out on something by not going to the clubs. Sure, clubbing can be fun, but you certainly don't miss anything by staying home. The last thing this girl needs is to give the paps more opportunities to ambush her. I also think she needs to get out of Hollywood as soon as the custody situation with Kevin allows her to do so.
What was up with Madonna's face? The only thing on it that moves is her mouth and even that looks funny. Girlfriend needs to back off the botox. I also think she may have had some work done. She just doesn't look the same.
I used to think she was…well….that's not important. I now have respect for her and I really do wish her the best! She is human like you and me! I understand and identify with a lot she was saying. I'm glad she did this and is surrounding herself with people who love her.
Shes amazing. If that documentary didn't make you like her than I don't know what would. I love her
Re: ribbontie –
well said!
And OMG the ending was hilarious!!!!!!!! "I just go through life like a karate kid." it was the perfect ending.
I thought it was amazing.
She was so honest, and i was glued to the screen the entire time!
I have so much respect and admiration for her now!
Definitely buying "Circus"
PEREZ WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is rocking.I love her now even more…
Are you a great singer, dancer, or pianist? Or, Uploaded.TV provides you an opening to show the world your talents, by uploading your performance video in www.uploaded.tv. Your video will appear on real TV, all over the globe!
she looked uncomfortable and completely medicated..she got lucky that girl is pretty talentless-except her dancing moves..her singing is bad, her new songs are horrific too
Did not watch it, did not care to watch it…. This girl is NOT ready for a goddamn comeback…. Yeah, she should be left alone to rehabilitate herself… She can't stand to NOT be in the spotlight…. Did anyone regret her whole "If they don't take your picture, people with forget you?" scenario??? This girl NEEDS to leave the limelight period…. Not to be pushed back on stage because that is the only time she is "ever happy"…. Really? Then why have these performances been sucking ass? …. Just let it go for a while!!! So what if people forget you for a while…. "Pop star images" do it all the time…. They go away, they come back…. Take your kids to Disney world, go lay on a beach…. in a bathing suit, not your underwear! lol ok, I'm done
i thought it was a bit long…
and the longer it went on, the less i felt sorry for her…
i mean, she has lead a very contolled and 'technical' life…
but because of her fame and fortune, truly, she has been placed in circumstances that are still better than many, many people.
i found she contradicted herself quite a bit also…
'my life is so hard… i can't walk down the street… i hate this, i hate that…'
then it's 'i love what i do… i'm so lucky…' a bit of the woe-is-me came out and that turned me off…
watching the documentary solidified that she IS human, but… stop the complaining….
at the end of it all, i still like her…
m.
I loved it. It seemed pretty un-cut however let's discuss how HORRIBLE Madonna looked?! OMG her face looked like it was pulled back more than ever!!
Didn't watch…wouldn't watch it…would rather poke large sticks into my eyes,
Britney is part of a large money making machine - and the machine is hungry for more.
I thought it was very good. It was nice to be able to actually hear from her and hear I from her own lips. Yes, we can read the magazines but how much of that is just the writer tweaking what Britney has said to make the article what it is? I also was very moved when she said she was sad. There aren't many people in the Entertainment business, I don't think, that would admittedly say that. Poor thing only wants to be with her kids and a man and never be in the spotlight again. That's what I got from the whole thing. Britney is doing this because this is what her people want her to do. It was also a nice touch with all the Madonna =D
it was great! Hurry up and let us know how many people watched, had to bring in millions of viewers.
-She seemed so uncomfortable around Madonna. I think there's a lot of water under that bridge.
-Her father is trying to get her fat again with those "cheese grits".
-She doesn't have any real friends, just people who fake a lot of laughs at whatever she says.
-She showed us how scary the paps can be to celebs.
-She's not that crazy after all.
i loved it. made me see her in a whole new light.
Go Brit! I'm rootin for ya!
its was interesting but all i can remember is..
"im makin' my baby sum cheeeez gritz"
lol
i almost cried. i feel so bad that she cant lead a semi-normal life like other celebs and be able to walk out of her house without getting attacked by paparazzi.
I loved it. I felt for britney. She seems more like a human now more then ever. She seems like a person i could be friends with. Her and her dad are funny together. Keep doing what you do Karate Kid.
i loved it! i was never a huge supporter in britney spears but in the last few years i've been feeling really bad for her. i could never imagine the lifestyle that she lives and to see her getting back on track is good for herself and her kids. i will admit, i did get a little teary when she started crying and saying she was sad, i felt so bad for her.
Let me start by saying that I love her……but watching the documentary made me sad. You can see that no one ever let this girl grow up, she is still such a little kid. She has people that do everything for her, it's no wonder why she went crazy. I also am not even sure she wants to keep doing this anymore. I have no doubt she loves the performing, singing, and dancing but the pressure seems to be too much. Just my opinion but even just look at her when she is being interviewed, she is constantly fidgeting and looks super uncomfortable.
I expected it to be horrible but I really was touched by her story. I do feel bad for her and she seemed very honest.
She needed to go into more details about adnand galib and why she talked in the british accent.
