Britney Spears
BRITNEY JEAN SPEARS was born
Dec. 2, 1981,
in Kentwood, a small town in
Louisiana. Although
technically her first public
performance was at the
age of 4 (when she sang
"What Child Is This" at
her local church), her
professional career began at
the ripe old age of 8, when
young Britney traveled
to Atlanta, Ga., to audition
for the Disney
Channel's Mickey Mouse Club
(MMC). She was
ultimately deemed too young
for the show, but one
of the producers spotted her
potential and helped
her get an agent in New
York. She spent the next
three summers in the Big
Apple studying at the
off-Broadway Dance Center
and at the Professional
Performing Arts School. The
creative education
paid off; in 1991 she landed
a part in the
off-Broadway production
Ruthless.
When Britney turned 11, she
finally earned her
mouse ears and became a
full-fledged member of
MMC for both the 1993 and
1994 seasons. Her
years with MMC would turn
out to be fortuitous for
Britney; among the cast
members of the children's
show was the then
12-year-old Justin Timberlake
and Joshua "JC"
Chasez, who would go on to
become two-fifths of the
teen pinup band 'N Sync.
Other talented alumni to
emerge from the cast are
Keri Russell of Felicity
fame, singer Christina
Aguilera, Nita Booth (Miss
Virginia 1998), and
Ryan Gosling from Young Hercules.
Following the cancellation
of MMC in 1993, Britney
returned home, where she
went to regular high
school for a year. But the
bug to perform was too
strong, so she returned to New York to give singing
another shot. After an
executive at Jive heard a
demo tape cut by the then
15-year-old, he signed
her to a development deal
and hooked her up with
Eric Foster White, a
producer who had worked with
Boyzone, Hi-Five, and
Whitney Houston. It
seemed a perfect fit, given
Spears self-declared
musical influences: Madonna,
Mariah Carey,
Michael Jackson, and
Houston. She also traveled
to Sweden to work with Max
Martin, whose
previous clients included
the Backstreet Boys, Ace
of Base, and Robyn. By early
1998, Spears' first
album for Jive was complete.
In the fall of 1998, three
months before the release
of her debut, …Baby, One
More Time, Britney set
off on a promotional trek
through the malls of
before her. Her "month
in the malls" routine
consisted of four songs,
with two backup dancers,
along with promotional
copies of her music.
October 1998 saw the release
of Spears' first
single, the title track from
her album, written by
Max Martin. Given his track
record with the
Backstreets, it was, not
surprisingly, a commercial
success. The warm reception
to the single no
doubt helped Britney land a
spot opening for 'N
Sync, which she did through
January 1999.
The biggest day of young
Britney's career thus far
is likely Jan. 12, 1999 —
the day …Baby, One
More Time finally hit store
shelves. After the final
tallies were in, the former
Mouseketeer discovered
that her debut had landed at
the No. 1 spot on the
Billboard charts, with her
buddies 'N Sync coming
in at No. 2. Not a bad
showing for a 17-year-old.
In a recent interview with
MTV, Britney made it
clear that she was the one
who wanted to get
involved in the
entertainment world; though she had
the full support of her
parents once she did, it was
entirely her decision. And
after breaking away from
her small town, in which disapproving tongues
would occasionally wag
because of her move to
New York at such a young
age, Britney discovered
she'd become a role model of
sorts, with other
young townswomen following
in her creative
footsteps.
The next year promises to be
a busy one for
Britney. In addition to a
busy schedule promoting
her new album, she's
planning a return to the small
screen as a guest star on
Dawson's Creek. And if
it's true, as she told MTV,
that she admires
Madonna's ability to
reinvent her public persona,
then don't look for Britney
to be another one-hit
wonder. She's planning to
stay in the music world
for a long time. "I
want music to always be a part
of my life," she told
the cable channel. "It will
always be a part of my life, and I just want to
grow
as a person each time each
album comes out. I
want to focus on my music
right now and if film or
something comes up, I'd go
for it. But music will
always be my main priority.
Just like Madonna. I
respect her so much because
every time, she has
changed, and I just totally
admire that."
And for the record, if
you're wondering about
Britney and 'N Sync's
Justin, in her own words:
"No, it's not true. No,
no, [the 'N Sync guys] are
just like big brothers to
me."

From The Bottom Of
My Broken Heart
...Baby One More
Time
"Never
look,"we said
How
was I to know I´d miss you so?
Loneliness
up ahead
Emtiness
behind
Where do I go?
And
you didn´t hear
All
my joy trough my tears
All
my hopes trough my fears
Did
you now, still I miss you somehow
From
the bottom of my broken heart
There´s
just a thing or two I´d like you to know
You
were my first love,
You
were my first true love
From
the first kisses to the very last rose
From
the bottom of my broken heart
Even
though time may find me somebody new
You
were my real love,
I
never knew love
´Til
there was you
From
the bottom of my broken heart
"Baby,"
I said,
"Please
stay
Give
our love a chance for one more day"
We
could have worked things out
Taking
time is what love´s all about
But
you put a dart
Trough
my dreams
trough
my heart
And
I´m back where I started again
Never
tought it would end
From
the bottom of my broken heart
There´s
just a thing or two I´d like you to know
You
were my first love,
You
were my first true love
From
the first kisses to the very last rose
From
the bottom of my broken heart
Even
though time may find me somebody new
You
were my real love,
I
never knew love
´Til
there was you
From
the bottom of my broken heart
You
promised youself
But
to somebody else
And
you made it so perfectly clear
Still
I wish you were here
From
the bottom of my broken heart
There´s
just a thing or two I´d like you to know
You
were my first love,
You
were my first true love
From
the first kisses to the very last rose
From
the bottom of my broken heart
Even
though time may find me somebody new
You
were my real love,
I
never knew love
´Til
there was you
"
Never look back" we said
How
was I to know I´d miss you so?
Bye
bye...
