My Take
I find Britney Spears endlessly compelling because her story is really two stories at once. There is the artist — the girl from McComb, Mississippi who detonated teen pop with ...Baby One More Time and gave us Toxic, a single that still sounds futuristic two decades on. And there is the human being who carried the crushing weight of early fame in full public view. What stays with me is her resilience; few performers have been scrutinized so relentlessly and still shaped a generation's idea of what a pop star is. The Princess of Pop title is earned, but I admire the survivor even more than the icon.
