And now she’s gone (taken from Mister Martian)

I’ve never been one for conspiracy theories or that Illuminati bullshit, but there are some things that go on in the recording industry that are extremely questionable and shady. I’ll get to the Britney stuff that bothers me later…

…but think about it, today we have labels finding loopholes in payola laws. You have people that work for that label that also work for Clear Channel. They are requesting that DJs play songs every hour on the hour, but since they aren’t taking money or bribes for it, it’s technically completely legal.

That’s not really what I want to talk about. I am really curious about Britney and her world from around 2005 - 2007. What’s most curious to me are the claims that Britney is on drugs. Britney’s never really admitted or been proved of doing any drugs aside from smoking weed. Justin Timberlake said Britney never did drugs around him. Kevin Federline admitted they smoked weed but not regularly. Plus we have had confirmation from outside sources. Every time CPS searched her home they never found drugs or they were prevented from searching due to lack of evidence. Britney has also never failed any of her court mandated drug tests… so the claims that Britney was heavy on drugs during this period of before is far fetched. I’m not saying she’s never done them but I doubt she’s like some kind of addict. If I recall correctly, her rehab stints had nothing to do with drugs since she never did fail a drug test. They were simply to observe her mental state. She was allowed to leave early every time and doctors never claimed any sort of addiction, simply a medical condition which was bipolar disorder.

Ok, now to the weird stuff. We know that after In The Zone & GH:MP, Britney went through some weird stuff with Jive and and 5th studio album that we have dubbed “Original Doll.” We know that she recorded all of the songs in her home at the time and only submitted a few songs to the label. The first song we heard was “Mona Lisa.” The original version was cute then, but listening to it now is absolutely chilling. It’s almost like she was predicting her future. She sings, “She was taken under, drowning in her seat. Running like an angel she was crying and could not see. Now everyone’s watching as she starts to fall. Don’t have a break down you will hit the freakin’ wall.” Essentially, Britney was telling her own story, about how her life had been completely public and was completely overwhelming. Everyone was watching her and she slowly went from Pop Princess and America’s Sexiest Sweetheart to a victim on her success. Then she almost warns people in the industry today to beware of letting all of the stress get to you. She hit the wall and ever since it seems like she is just coasting through her career. She also describes herself now. “She WAS incredible. She WAS a legend, though. It’s time to let her go, cause she’s gone.” Everyone is saying these things about her now.

Another song we got to hear from that era was “Rebellion.” We never got to hear this full song and probably never will, but we have got enough of the sample to judge. “Be weary of others, the one’s closest to you.” Obviously during her breakdown she got rid of her family and management who had basically been with her through it all. The only people who were really close to her were Sam and that group, and later Adnan. Those are the people who we assume Britney called the bad people she let in her life during For The Record. She also says, “The poison they feed you and the voodoo that they do.” Britney’s mom, Lynne, accused Sam of drugging Britney and controlling her to boost his own social status and using her money. We could never confirm this, but it is assumed by mostly everyone that this is true. The rest of “Rebellion” talks about how freeing it is to just be your in the end and do what you want to do. In FTR Britney says her life is so in control that she is sad. “Every day is like Groundhogs Day.” The happiest she was during the whole film was when she got to leave all of her management and family and just drive her car… but that was cut from the original broadcast and made into bonus footage. It’s like her management doesn’t want us to see certain things and FTR was the perfect shield to make us think that Britney was slowly putting things into perspective…

Now, listening to these songs gives me chills. I don’t really know for sure what exactly goes on in Britney’s life, but hearing things from people that work with her kind of worry me. A while back when I started @MartianLeaks I exchanged a few DMs with Perez Hilton. He told me about his encounter with Britney’s team during his filming for the Circus tour. He said everything was completely scheduled and that during his filming Britney wasn’t even present. He also said that he didn’t even really get to talk to Britney until he came back later editing. Later he tweeted me about the drugs Britney is on now, saying they are obviously inhibiting her energy and performance.

I don’t usually criticize Britney’s current state when on film or live… mostly because I’m thankful that she’s alive and making music, but I wonder what the cost of all of this is. I wonder if Britney is being built up to be another pop tragedy. I wonder if she thinks this about herself and has lost the life in her eyes as a result. I love to see Britney out there doing her thing, but I’d much rather see her do it on her own terms. I want to hear Britney sing like she sings to her boys. I want to hear what she wants to sing about. I want her to do an interview that isn’t scripted at all. I want Britney to find her own choreographer and dance like she wants to.

I don’t doubt that Britney is happy right now… and I don’t doubt that she still has fun doing this… but I do doubt when people say that she isn’t forcing herself to do this.

AMEN. I agree 100%! :(
