OT: Britney's response to Justin? [Archive]

Is the song "Everytime" (she performed it on SNL last night :D and did it beautifully) a response to Justin's "Never Again"? Is it even about Justin at all? What do you think? BTW, she wrote the song.

Britney Spears - Everytime
Come notice me
And take my hand
So why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

Ohhhh

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

After all...
After all...

You can download the performance at WorldofBritney.com.

*shrug* If it is, they've both played out their breakup for FAAAAR too long. Oh well. lol. One of the reasons I don't watch stuff with them for the most part. Because you can't watch something without them making some comment or the person interviewing/whatever making some comment about their breakup.

It happened, what, 2 years ago? GET OVER IT.

Britney was quiet and respectful about the whole thing. Justin was a bitter ex, and from what I've heard, rightfully so. If these lyrics have any bearing on their relationship, I'd guess it was definitely Britney who wronged Justin.

I'm a romantic at heart, and I thought they were just the most adorable couple. So sue me, I think they should eventually get back together. :laugh:

Justin:
Girl you lied straight to my face lookin' in my eyes
And I believed you 'cause I loved your more than life
And all you had to do was apologize
But you didn't say you're sorry
I don't understand
You don't care that you hurt me

Britney:
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

:cry:

If they still sing about each other and "miss" each other or whatnot, why don't they give it another try? Or somewhere down the line, a few years from now...because if her song is about him, then they obviously still think about each other all the time. Just my opinion, I dont really care what they do either way

yep i agree with you...except i think britney and nick deserve eachother...im serious they would just be so sweet together , i hope they swallow theyre pride one dday and get together if they dont in 2 years imma gonna have to fill up britneys mailbox with good stuff about nick tryin to convince her...just kiddin but hey i know a couple of people who know both of them..ya never know hehe :p

o and kita they dindt seem to make aa fuss it was more of the media cant really blame them, but you can blame justin for answering nosy reporters questions, while britney sent them flyin

yes britney may have been respectful to the news and didn't really flash out at justin... but it shows britney truly hurt justin in whatever she did. she was justins FIRST love! he was prolly heart broken, and i know how it goes when your heart broken. you will say anything to anyone... i have much more respect for justin. at least he doesn't deny anything... unlike someone else! i've always liked justin and i've always supported him... so im kinda glad justin let the world know how britney played him. and i loved his "cry me a river" concert verison.... you go mr jt!!!! sorrie... i love justin...

That's all well and good...except Justin didn't write Again. Brian McKnight wrote Again (actually one of the only songs on that CD I liked. lol).

You wanna know how I feel about all this, "woe is me" crap over a breakup? I've had the guy I broke up with when I was 16 come to me SEVEN YEARS LATER asking me why I broke up with him. I was like, Dude, get OVER it.

People break up. It's a fact of life. Yes, the media made some huge freakin deal over it (give me a freakin break people). Probably the reason Britney didn't say a whole hell of a lot is because she KNEW she was the one who screwed up. I know my son's father doesn't go around bragging about how he cheated on ME. Then again, two years after we broke up, I wasn't still mooning on and on to anyone who would listen about it, either.

They've both moved on (or so it seems). They're, what, 22 years old? That young, they should be dating around not being in some serious long term relationship anyway. That's just my thoughts though. If I had things to do over again, I wouldn't have gotten serious about anyone that young...I would have been playing the field...like they're both doing now.

You KNOW the media's going to be asking this exact question of Britney...and she's going to be answering it now. So, here we go again with the Justin and Britney Breakup part two game in the media.

yes, it was written quite a long time ago.

she went on trl a few months ago (i downloaded it on 31 may, so, pretty old) and did a "first listen" and played the song. i have the audio stored on my computer. it's like maybe 20 seconds long, the whole thing, and she talks about how she was playing the "piana" in the hotel and then plays about 10 seconds of the song. if you want it, i can send it through aim, or someone can host it on their site or something.

You have the NERVE to say that when you go into threads about Sarah Martin and do the same thing?? Hypocrite ...

And Kita, I agree wholeheartedly ... I don't like either one of them and I could care less who they date or what they write their lousy songs about.

I don't think it was a "reply" to Justin's song, esp. since it was written a while ago, but all I know is that its a nice song and I like it. I can't wait until her album comes out. I hope she does a signing in NY, cuz if she does, I'm goin lol.

Why are there so many negative people on here...lol whatever, I'm over it.

I would just like to say that the music industry is a rotten place. While Britney and Justin use their break-up as a marketing ploy, Nick gets no respect for what was essentially his own first CD. Both Britney and Justin, in my opinion, suck live (I can't stand Juju's little I-am-God-and-you-are-all-my-followers section of his show and X-tina kicked his non-existent butt). Nick does not suck live and I think he's better live than on a CD. Marketing and catchy songs are what made Britney and Justin, not an ability to preform or sing and I think that's really unfair.

As much as I like bsb or whatever, I think that Nick's album wasnt really all that great, and the way they marketed him SUCKED so MAYBE thats one (of the many) reasons why Nick's album didn't do all that great. Luckily Justin & Britney have some really great people behind them to support them and I think that they deserve all the success they get. I think that even if Justin & Britney didn't break up, their albums still wouldve been good...Justin's talented and he was marketed well so thats why. Hopefully Nick's 2nd album does good...if not, then its time to get back to bsb because honestly, I think he's far more better in a group than he is as a solo artist...

Aww man...here we go...:o

Those who "don't care" about certain pop or rock stars shouldn't bother wasting their precious time going into threads that are about those stars. I know I don't. I don't like a lot of celebrities, but I don't feel the need to constantly make people aware of it.

Answering the original topic:
Maybe, maybe not. I like Britney -- faults and all -- but it sure does look like she did what he says she did. That would explain why he would be so bitter. (And if my love of over 3 years had betrayed me with my creative partner and close friend, I would have publicly humiliated both of them the NEXT DAY. But then, being in the public eye the rules are a bit different.) At any rate, the lyrics could be interpreted as being about losing him.

I was merely pointing out the fact that Britney and Justin were well marketedand both of them used the break-up as a marketing tool. I used Nick's solo CD and live show as a point of juxtapostion. You don't have to jump on someone because he or she uses an example that was Backstreet related to prove a point.

I'm not all that sure it was so beautiful... she actually sang it live, which is more than I can say for Me Against The Music, but c'mon now...you're going to tell me (with a straight face) that she was so good and her voice was awesome? Sorry if I'm stepping on some toes (as usual) but she is not a good singer. She stayed within a very easy range, sang with her usual nasal style, tried to force a vibrato and the quality of her voice has just been gettting worse... (maybe it's the smoking? who knows)
it's a cute song, I guess... I really liked the music, that was well done. It was simple but pretty..and the lyrics...eh... with Jive and its posse behind her, you'd think that they could come up with something a little more deep...but alas, c'est la vie.

I do think it's a song about Justin. But then again, it could relate to her mother, brother, friend, whoever she was thinking about at the time she wrote it.

What is funny to me is that Britney and Justin just go out there and sing their music...do what they need to do to make a living. Then others critique the music, interpret it the way they want to then get mad at THEM and post crazy stuff on message boards. It makes some look like donkeys...

I have no idea who she wrote the song for, and honestly, I don't really care.

However, I did see the performance and found it uninspiring. Her voice was mediocre, her stage presence stilted and the song was below average both musically and lyrically. Her staged kiss with Madonna was more exciting.

You guys need to get over Justin and Britney; they are doing their own thing trying to do their jobs and someone always has a damn problem with it.
Britney isnt a CHristina or Mariah but the girl can sing. SHe doesnt have a huge vocal range so why the he** would she try to go out of the range that she is able to do.
When I heard the song my jaw dropped; I think I saw the girl crying. It was a very beautiful song and Im proud of Britney.
I dont care if Britney cheated on him he had no right to do what he did to her. He deserves an a** whoopin for what he did and it just shows how immature and self centered he is.
And as a 30% BSB fan leave nick out of the thread. THis isnt a BSB board so if you want to talk about Nick take it back to that board.

Oct 19th, 2003, 06:06 PM

ok, first of all I think the song is beautiful and I dont care what you say, it is actually a sad song! I almost cried when I read the lyrics....I think it is sweet that she is apologizing to him (and I do beleive it is to Justin) and I actually think they belong together and will get back together one day. maybe I am a hopeless romantic but I think they truly do love each other and they will find their way back together :(

Yeah, I think the song is about Justin. I think that Brit and Justin

think that they both have alot of growing up to do. The song is
beautiful and (I think) she sung it beautifully.
