Unsent Letters by Heather Mark

Dear Britney Spears,

I’m so sad about today’s performance on Good Morning America. I was really hoping you’d learn your lesson from the “Gimme, Gimme” fiasco on the MTV Video Music Awards. While your performance was a little more well rehearsed than that disaster, it wasn’t all that much better. In fact, it was sort of boring.

I’m not trying to break you down, Britney. I really like what you do, I’ve even been known to rock out to a Britney Spears song  in my car from time to time. So I promise you, my constructive criticism comes from my heart, this is not hate mail by any means.

Here is the conflict I have with your career. You are 27 now, a mother of two beautiful boys. You’ve been through the wringer and left out to dry by your “people”, your family and the media. That abuse shows through in your performances. Maybe you’d want to concentrate on your voice and not your abs for a change. It was somewhat awkward seeing you prance around in skimpy outfits in front of your mom and children. And let’s face it, since having your kids you’re curvier than you used to be. The lycra just isn’t as hot as it used to be.

Maybe you could take a cue from Angelina Jolie. She’s an impeccable dresser, always sexy without being trashy. Cover up some of your skin instead of flaunting it, it would a new, grown-up direction for you.

I expect you’ll take my advice with less than a grain of salt. But I really like you, Britney. I want to see you succeed. I just think the avenues that got you to the top might not guide you towards your future. Happy birthday, dear. I hope it was a joyful one.

Your fan,

Heather
