Britneys face is really different now

After all she's been through in her life- sexualized by the public and her management when she was just a teen- I'm happy she was able to come out through the storm.

And for someone whose body has been dissected and scrutinized in the most public and disgusting of ways since she was barely old enough to drive- are you all really surprised she's had cosmetic augmentation? Are those of you who are dogging her for it now the same ones who questioned if her breasts were real and if she was sexually active 20 years ago? Shameful.


I think she and her handlers had more to do that with that, and then the public went along with it.


She was sixteen, FFS.

She was? I never got that impression.


Um she was. But not a decade. Probably 1998-2005. Then she went downhill. But 1999-2003 Britney? There was nobody bigger or hotter.


She was a popular singer, but not really "the hottest sex symbol".



Were you around in 2001? If so, and you think she wasn't, who do you feel was the biggest? Madonna? Joey Fatone?


Indeed, I was around and as an adult then, I never considered her a sex symbol. Maybe if you were still in middle school at that age - maybe? But if I think of the "sexiest" women from back then I think Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Gisele, Halle Berry, JLo, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, etc. And probably dozens more who were way “hotter” than Britney. She had a few fun songs and was a good dancer, but that's about it.


Wow, interesting. You're very rare and good at predicting stars before they get big, I guess. Scarlett Johansson, for instance, didn't get big until 2003. Before that, she was in Home Alone and a horse movie. Jessica Alba's peak fame also came a few years later, in the middle of the decade.

Britney was big in the late nineties to early 2000s. She was "it." Whether you liked her music or not, it's bizarre to claim Beyonce was a bigger sex symbol than Britney in 2000. It's just not true (and this is coming from someone who grew up with Destiny's Child much more than Britney's music).

OK - so 99-03? Replace those names with a few others. At no point during that time frame do I remember Britney being "the hottest sex symbol" - plenty of others though.

Again, how old were you in 2000? Maybe it was a middle school thing? She was not "it" for urban young adults back then.

I am a new poster. I am 41. I definitely remember Britney Spears being considered a huge sex symbol back then. I'm really not even sure how this is an arguable point and why you were digging in

She was a HUGE SYMBOL from about 1998-2004, largely to her contemporaries. I am her age almost exactly. There is no one else I would rather have been during those years. I'm guessing this was/is the feeling of many women who were born between 1978 and 1988.

She was sixteen, FFS.


It was her idea to wear Catholic schoolgirl uniforms and tie their shirts up to expose their midriffs.

I'm not one of the pp's but I'm a year older than Britney (and was an "urban" young adult ). I wasn't even a fan and but can admit the girl was everywhere. At the time, I'd say Britney and J-Lo were probably the 2 biggest sex symbols. Halle Berry was more known for her beauty than just being sexy. Beyoncé didn't get big until 2003/2004. Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson never made the pop culture/sex symbol impact that Britney had.

I will stop beating a dead horse, but I can definitely see her more as a "teen idol" than "sex symbol".

So if you were going to see a dermatologist and/or plastic surgeon, what do you say to the doctor to avoid this look? Let's say you still wanted to look like yourself, but maybe get some small things done.

Avoid fillers?

I agree with this post completely. Halle Berry was the beauty. Jennifer Lopez came closest to Britney's level as a sex symbol, thanks in part to "The Dress." Widespread Beyonce-mania that continues to this day didn't start until the time you said. I do remember around 04, 05, 06-ish, Jessica Alba being considered the look most guys would want in a girlfriend- as reported in media headlines, at least.

But as far as sex symbols, Britney was #1. It's strange for someone would put Scarlett Johansson on the same level as Britney. We're not talking beauty or talent level or who you prefer. We're talking about as a cultural phenomenon.

All of you old asses who think she wasn't a sex symbol must not remember Slave 4 U at the VMAS with the yellow boa. It did NOT get hotter at that time. if you're 50 now then yeah you were out of the loop but if you ask anyone between 18-35 or so they will tell you the late 90s- early 2000s was all Brit. She was huge. Boys loved her and girls all hated we didn't look like her.
