Why Britney [Spears] Is My Homegirl

Today's prompt, "Music that moves you. Are you a Spotify addict or a Pandora guru? Tell us your favorite artists/stations!"

In all honesty I had already written a post with links to a few of my favourite songs by many artists and a cute joke about Pandora and Spotify but I was struck by the thought that I really can't write a post about music without mentioning my homegirl Brit Brit (Britney Spears). Then I figured, why even mention any other music, she's the one that I love best of all. 

On our second date, I actually said to Jay, "I would travel anywhere in the world to see Britney Spears in concert." As if that is totally normal second date conversation. Luckily he didn't run screaming. Sadly, I've not yet seen Brit Brit kill it on stage, though I know that Vegas show has got to just be amazing. 

Why Brit Brit Is My Homegirl

[1] Our names both end in -ey. Not everyone can say that. 

[2] We both know all the words to Baby One More Time and Oops I Did It Again. 

[3] We both regret the decision to televise "Chaotic" with K-fed, but one of us is secretly grateful it happened.

[4] I teach kids. She has kids.

[5] We've both love Las Vegas. Sadly not at the same time. 

The closest I got to a Brit during my trip this summer. 

[6] We sing on airplanes. 

Circa 2008: Had to crop out my partner in crime, so not to expose his true identity but this is (100%truth) me rocking out to Britney Spears Gimme More on an airplane ride to NYC. I would not lie about this.

[7] We are both middle children. Older brothers and younger sisters for the win. 

[8] We are both big fans of the Titanic movie and cringe when "the old lady dropped it into the ocean at the end."

[9] We know that if music ever gets to be too much Brit could live off the perfume empire she's built, especially if she sells more Curious (circa 2004)

[10] Ok, so maybe this list doesn't prove we are actually homegirls, but she still tops my list of favourite performers! She works hard, and has managed to stay relevant despite the influx of new pop stars in the past decade. Plus, she's a good momma! If you still need convincing check out this amazing medley of her hits. So many dance beats! 

I assure you, I do listen to other music on occasion (actually more often) but I will always have a soft spot for my homegirl. 

Keep Smiling :)
