Ms. Spears... is not a singer in my book. Her range is an ocatve and 1/2. Just us normal folk have a 2 octave range. I'm sorry, I respect like everything else you were saying, except that. I mean I can accept a skank that can sing... like Christina Aguilera.
Just look at it from a frustrated musician's prespective. Like if you've ever seen a really good band... then turned on the radio and heard Simple Plan or Good Charrolette. Okay, so you're a singer with a crazy range and ill skills... then having to listen to Britney.
