Hi, folks. I have a huge favour to ask of all of you. If you could just take a few minutes out of your day and fill out this questionnaire for me I would really appreciate it. I'd prefer to keep this as anonymous as possible so if you could email the responses to me at lewi8368@students.rowan.edu. If not, feel free to respond here. I appreciate it so, so much. And. Um. Pass it around please. :) I could really use as many responses as possible.

2: What type of music do you listen to?


3: Do you know who Britney Spears is?


4: When and in what context did you first hear about Britney Spears?


5: Do you own any Britney Spears paraphernalia i.e. CDs, DVDs, stickers, folders, etc?


6: Have you ever seen Britney Spears perform in concert?

am i allowed to ask a question?

Which is the Stronger video? is it the one with the chair? (I'm thinking she might've done two videos that were kind of similar in colour/style and I'm blending them in my head... did she do a video for Satisfaction, or just cover it at shows?)

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Yup. It's the one with the chair. But if you're not familiar with it, don't answer the question. It's no biggie.

1: 21

2: pop/rock/classical/broadway

3: yep

4: I like Nsync. It was inevitable that I should learn all about the pop world. Also, I spent a lot of time watching MTV last summer because it was the only channel we got at work.

5: nope

6: no

7: What is your impression of Britney Spears as an artist?
She's got wonderful charisma and presence in interviews and videos. She's a great dancer. But she can't sing live while dancing. She hasn't written any songs that i know of. She doesn't play an instrument, that i know of. She's not so much an artist as a performer who looks pretty.

As a person?
She seems like a nice enough girl. She's been formed by her childhood, of course, and we don't really know about her because PR tells all stars what to present and what to hide.

As a role model?
Well, as a model of success she's pretty... successful. Otherwise, she's just a 20 year old with more money than most of us can dream of. She's not a particularly good model, nor a particularly bad one. though her clothing is terribly and makes her look cheap and slutty.

8: Do you believe that Britney Spears is a virgin?
Is it any of my business?

9: Are you familiar with Britney Spears? videos: Baby, One More Time, Stronger, or I?m a Slave 4 U? If the answer is no, skip the next three questions. If the answer is yes, please respond to the questions by focusing on the videos only, not the lyrics.


a: What is your impression of the video Baby, One More Time?

b: What is your impression of the video Stronger?
um, sex on a stick. The same idea could have been presented with more clothing worn and the same choreography. Otherwise... i actually like it.

c: What is your impression of the video I?m a Slave 4 U?

10: Overall, how do you feel about the way Britney Spears portrays herself in the public eye?
She does what she's been taught to do. The way society is structured, she's making herself the ideal person she can be with the background and body she has to work with.

2: What type of music do you listen to? Indie, college radio, rock, hip-hop.


3: Do you know who Britney Spears is? sure

5: Do you own any Britney Spears paraphernalia i.e. CDs, DVDs, stickers, folders, etc? No

7: What is your impression of Britney Spears as an artist?
She is a performer, but not a creative or interesting one
As a person? I hate to judge but she is your typical childhood star

As a role model? Not a very good role model, even if she works really hard that is not what she is selling.


8: Do you believe that Britney Spears is a virgin? No


9: Are you familiar with Britney Spears? videos: Baby, One More Time, Stronger, or I?m a Slave 4 U? If the answer is no, skip the next three questions. If the answer is yes, please respond to the questions by focusing on the videos only, not the lyrics.


a: What is your impression of the video Baby, One More Time? Gross, plays on the idea that men are attracted sexually to the little catholic school girl look.

b: What is your impression of the video Stronger? She quotes her first song, and I don't believe chair dancing makes you a stronger woman

c: What is your impression of the video I?m a Slave 4 U? Virgin gets licked, virgin with a thong on the outside of jeans, virgin confuses younge girls. Ugh


10: Overall, how do you feel about the way Britney Spears portrays herself in the public eye?
"I'm normal". No your not.
