"Little me, Please forgive me
I couldn't see you were hurting inside"
(Little Me/ For My Sister, an unreleased/leaked Britney song)
Let me just start this off with a little introduction. My name is Mitchell, at the time of writing i'm currently 17& living in Australia.
I've been obsessed with Britney since as long as I can remember.
It all started with my mum giving me her copy of the Baby One More Time album. I'm not sure of the exact date but it was pre-2003 so i'm guessing 2002. So anyways, A then 6 year old me was given the cd and later a portable cd player. It was the first musical experience I had ever had and it was a truly amazing one. I remember listening through the songs, ( I always did and still do skip Soda Pop)
The next thing I remember was seeing the Me Against The Music music video on tv. I was amazed and shocked for so many reasons. She had grown up so much ( at the time I thought this was her only album since BOMT) and who was that other girl) I didn't see the video any more so I had a lot of questions unanswered but more came in as I saw the Toxic video for the first time.
I was stunned by how amazing and futuristic the song and video looked and sounded. It was amazing. Shortly after that my Nan bought me the In The Zone album for my birthday. I would have been 7. I remember unwrapping it, and sliding off the plastic and holding it in my hands, with her big beautiful face staring back at me...
... I remember opening it and flipping through the album booklet and touching the cd. It was magical.
I didn't understand many of the songs, and only really listened to Me Against The Music, Toxic, Everytime, Brave New Girl, Shadow & The Answer. I got that boom boom scared me literally the ying yang twins scared me.
I then remember seeing the everytime video on tv and being shocked that she made a video for it because I knew that song from the album. I watched in dismay as she was hurled through the crowds of paparazzi. I was shocked at why this was happening to her. It felt real. And it WAS real. I watched the whole video unfold before my eyes and was shocked beyond belief.
The next thing I remember is seeing the photo for the Greatest Hits: My Prerogative cover in a target or Big W catalogue. I thought it was a whole new album, and instantly found it in the shops the next time I went shopping with my parents, and I bought it, the limited digipak edition.
I was amazed because half the album I had never head before ( I didnt own Oops I Did It Again & Britney at the time, didnt even know they existed). I was amazed at how much of a variety the album had.
Anyways, this is the starting memories of a then 6 year old me experiencing Britney for the first time. Thankyou for reading my introduction, I just thought I'd clear this up before I start writing blogs about mine and britney's life. Thankyou for reading..
