Case Study on a music artist





Britney Spears



I chose Britney Spears mainly because her work and herself is well known, she has had alot of media attention since she first began as a teenager and i felt there was so much to say about the artist from the drastic change in which her career has taken.

Britney Spears is a musician and an entertainer,she signed a recording contract with Jive, releasing her debut album Baby one more time in 1999, however the video caused alot of trouble as it was said to be 'disturbing mix of childhood innocence and adult sexuality'. The album reached number one. Britney has practical grown up within the media and her public life has been made public from the fact she has been married twice with two children with Kevin Federline and the idea which was created showing Britney being represented as unstable.



Britney Spears next album was called "oops i did it again" this album also headed straight to number one and Britney's career began to take off. In early 2002, Britneys four-year relationship with Justin Timberlake ended. His 2002 song "Cry me a river" and its music video, which featured an actress resembling Britney, caused speculation that she had been unfaithful.




Next Britney had her first starring role in the 2002 film Crossroads in which she portrayed a high school graduate who travels to find her long-lost mother. The movie was poorly received, as was her performance; Spears received an award for Worst Actress and for Worst Original Song.


At a performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, she appeared performing the song "Like a Virgin", and was later joined by singer Madonna, with whom Britney kissed on the lips and the incident was highly publicize.



In July 2004, Britney announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, three months after they met. Federline had recently been in a relationship with actress Shar Jackson, who was eight months pregnant with their second child. Later on Britney went on to having two children with Kevin and later getting divorced in 2007.
Britney now appears to be doing better after success of her recent album and single "Circus" in which also hit number one.
