While Miley Cyrus was in Germany to promote her “Breakout” album, she was asked how she feels about the comparison of her between Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Here’s what she had to say :

“Um, I think they are both really talented and, I don’t know about around here, but at the Video Music Awards and everything, Britney Spears has been taking all the awards home and has really had quite a comeback. So, I just think that they are super successful and hopefully when I am compared to them, it’s them [...] career-wise because they have all been super successful and had amazing careers and they are both really talented.” (SOURCE)

The intro for Miley’s comment intimated that Miley practiced those lines wishing for something “better”.

First of all, I consider that question a bait question. For a 15 yr old, I think that’s as candid and articulate she could get. Seriously, what did you expect her to say? Unless of course you want her to say something crappy and then get her back in the media which was the intention all along.

Then you scroll down to read the comments from that article and you’ll get immature people getting mad at Miley for being compared to Britney and Lindsay. Apparently, it’s Miley’s fault that she was asked the question in the first place. What in the world are we coming to?

You can’t compare Miley to either Britney or Lindsay. You just can’t. There’s a generation gap in between all of them. The time Britney started is so much different compare to now.

If you’re going to do it at least have the decency to admit that you’re expecting Miley to trip. For her to say something catty and mean so you could throw a stone at her. That’s what this interview was all about. Give me a break.

Way back from when they first started, all the way back to The Mickey Mouse Club, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have been coaxed, poked, encouraged, manipulated, rumored, prodded, written, and instigated to have a “rivalry”. Call it whatever you want. While the 2 Pop Stars were happy getting their foot into the music industry, the mainstream media were even happier to have found the gold mine. 2 Stars, from the house of Mickey Mouse, whom probably during their time in Disney were actually bestfriends are making waves in the Pop Music genre at the same time. Pretty much. Talk about a storyline of all storylines for media and tabloids to exploit and capitalize on.

Who deserved to take over Madonna’s throne? They didn’t realize Madonna is going to stay on that throne as long as she wants to, heh. Who sold more albums? Who will lose her virginity first? Who will show up in a slutty outfit? Who will crack first? Whose life is more worthy to paparazzis’ paycheck. I think we know all the answers to that, don’t we? At this point, it’s just a matter of personal preference.

Who is the better Pop Star? Britney or Christina? That became the mantra of all mantras when it came to these rising Pop Stars. Both were nominated for Grammy’s Best New Artist where Christina took home the trophy. Forget the fact that there was another Pop Star trying to make a name of her own. No wonder Jessica Simpson went on to make a reality show, venture into fashion and eventually left the Pop genre to try the Country Music scene.. She never had the chance. If only Madonna added her as the “3rd wheel” in the infamous MTV VMA Kiss with Britney and Christina. Maybe Jessica’s future would be so different today..LOL.

Anyway, back to Britney and Christina, the “old rivalry” has been set up. Starting with Metro UK who just had a conversation with Christina where Brit’s new single was brought up :

On her Britney Spears rivalry, Aguilera swears she hasn’t been monitoring her new ‘Womanizer’ show.

‘Honestly, I haven’t. I’ve been so sort of in my own creative cave. But no, it’s a great feeling to still be in the game with somebody that you have known for so many years, even going back to the Mickey Mouse club. We had so much fun together.’

But she adds: ‘At this stage in our lives, we are so different I don’t think you can put us in the same ball park.’ (SOURCE)

Good answer Christina. With their albums coming out so close to each other (Christina’s is on November, Britney’s is on December), I’m pretty sure the stage is being prepared for another “fight” for Madonna’s throne between the two. Albeit albums being dropped are completely different from each other since Christina’s is a hits compilation and Britney’s is a full-length studio album. The proverbial “competition” is going to rise again. The doors are being prepped.

Personally, I like them both. But I’m more of a Britney Spears fan though. What can I say? I prefer dancing (sometimes) over singing songs with too much bravado. Hey, “It’s my Prerogative” darrnit .

How about you? Do you prefer one over the other? Why? What do you think of this undying Britney VS Christina rivalry which will inevitably invade the air we breathe in before you could say, “Go Green”?

Jesse loves Miley’s first single which ironically happens to be ‘7 Things’ and has been clouded with rumors that it’s about “ex”-boyfriend Nick Jonas. Ooohhhh. But yes, if Miley asked Jesse on a date, sure, he’ll do it. Hmmm, how about be the gentleman Jesse and YOU ask Miley instead. They you guys could collaborate on a new single for your upcoming albumsa, respectively.

There was a rumor circulating around a few months ago the Britney might be appearing at this year’s VMA to hopefully top her last year’s disastrous performance. I have a feeling the Jonas Brothers were teasing us with more Britney rumors to come. I hope Britney performs at the VMA actually. *crosses my fingers*

For more pictures and performance videos of the Jonas Brothers during FN’MTV, check out Junior Celebs. Nikki was there herself to take the pictures. Awesome!!

Britney Spears had to lie about staying a virgin until she gets married because her record company pretty much forced her to tell every member of the Press to say so. Even though she’s posing clandestinely in the cover of a Rolling Stone magazine and in her first video she was wearing a hot and sexy catholic school girl uniform. Do I have to point out what has happened in Britney’s life in the past 3 years? But kudos to her for looking like she’s trying to pull everything together now. Losing her children and a trip to a psyche ward might have done it. Oh and having to pay family members for being her conservators.

Now let me tackle the Parents’ responsibility on picking who their children’s role models should be. It’s my strong belief that celebrities shouldn’t be role models at all. Why? Coz they’re just human beings just like the rest of us. With our Pop Stars situations, everything is handed to them. Because they create the money. People around them are just as responsible in their “temporary” downfall. Pop Stars have special ID’s to get into clubs. They have money up the ying yang to buy everything they want and probably don’t need. Their job is to make music, entertain us through songs, movies, concerts, TV Shows/appearances and to BE SEEN. It’s not their responsibility to parent our children. Pop Stars didn’t a pull a gun to your head and forced you to buy a shirt that shows your daughter’s midriff. It’s also not their responsibility to educate our children about SEX. Oh and by the way, teenagers way way way waaaaaaay back have been having sex in the backseat of the car before Britney Spears was even born. Oh yeah, people were having sex before Britney became famous. People were doing drugs before any of the Pop Stars became famous. Does it make it right? No. Should the Pop Stars get away with it, Of course not. The fact that their actions are on TMZ or Perez Hilton 24/7 for all of us to criticize is an obvious proof that their punishment is about to start. With all of us watching them to keep falling and falling. It makes us feel better knowing they’re just as screwed up as the rest of us. The difference is, our mistakes are not shown for the rest of the world to pick apart. Yet we can’t find it in our hearts to give them the same fair treatment and second chance we ask people we love when we’re the one mocking our own lives. That’s because they’re supposed to be “role models” to young kids? My behind. Were you a role model to young kids when you were Britney, Miley, or other Pop Star’s age? Yeah, I thought so.

Let’s jump to the future. And that’s Miley Cyrus. The Vanity Fair pictures that made everyone’s head turn 360. Have you seen the picture kids on Myspace have been posting? You’re going to tell me it’s Miley Cyrus fault? There’s a Mayor from Oregon who got fired because she posted pictures of her in a bikini on her Myspace. She’s a grown up for chrissakes. Miley Cyrus is a kid. She and any other Pop Stars before her, and the ones that would follow will experience life. They will make mistakes. The difference is that it’s shown, critiqued and judged, daily by celebrity obsessed people like us. As sick as it is, we have this fascination to think these Pop Stars are not allowed to commit anything egregious in their lives. If something happens to our kids, it’s their faults. Because they’re not doing their jobs as “role models“. Besides not making millions when you were these Pop Star’s age, what were you doing back then? What were you doing during 3rd period? What were you doing during Spring Break? Have you ever made a mistake in your life that if you look back on, yes you regret it but it has taught you something? Don’t you think these Pop Stars deserves to live life as well. Don’t you think they deserve a second chance when they do something stupid?

Have you looked in the mirror lately? What are you doing to be the best role model for your own children?

Now that you’ve read all of that, and I thank and commend you for doing so, should Pop Stars take the responsibility of being “role models”?

This is very unfortunate. I dig the album, it’s ok I guess. It’s Janet. But then again, I prefer the remix version of Feedback with Ciara, heh. I guess the fans has outgrown Janet’s style of music? How does this affect her upcoming tour? No news yet on that but I hope it’s still a go. Janet has always been a great concert performer. Maybe this would change sales somehow.
