"If U Seek Amy," you might find a scandal

In 1998, the release of "Baby One More Time" depicted Britney Spears as an innocent, na've school girl.

A few years later, her top-10 hit, "I'm A Slave 4 U," raised a few eyebrows as she was seen gyrating in the video while seductively singing about the inability to control her urges.

Now, as the radio stations play "If U Seek Amy," from her newest CD "Circus," Spears once again has gained the public's attention as the song has a derogatory message, making this stand out among the notorious things she's done.

Being a 27-year-old mother of two, Spears continues to remain in the public eye by doing such acts as kissing Madonna on stage at MTV's 2003 Video Music Awards, shaving her head and feuding with her mother, Lynne Spears. As she grew into an adult while constantly under judgment from the public, she made mistakes and did some things that many deemed to be unacceptable, with her latest hit making the list.

"Circus," her sixth album, was released on December 2, 2008, and was said to be Britney's "comeback," after many had thought that it was too late for there to be any form of redemption on her part.

Her fan base surely has dissipated over the years since some felt that she had gone mad, especially after she had children. But there were still those that remained loyal-loyal enough to see nothing wrong with her recent single that says the commonly known four-letter obscenity beginning with an "f," explaining that "all the boys and all the girls are begging" to have relations with her.

"All the chatter around 'Amy' hasn't stopped 107,000 people from buying the song digitally," Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone magazine online said.

I guess the biggest problem I have is that "Amy" is never really named, so that part was added as a cover up as to what is really going on beneath the surface of the song. Of course, Amy is Spears, but, to be honest, when I first heard the song and was clueless about what was going on, I thought maybe she was singing to defend the heavily drugged Amy Winehouse, which was clearly not the case. However, I may have been ignorant to the fact of the matter, but the Parental Television Council, PTC, was not.

"There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy," PTC President Tim Winter said on the Huffington Post Web site.

Though it was said on MTV's Web site that many people felt the hidden message was unclear, according to Google's research, not all are blind to the message being sent in the song.

"The suggestive video even begins with a TV news anchor speaking the title over a chyron that reads, 'Britney Spears song lyrics spell out obscenity in disguise,' so there's no possibility that the pop star is trying to sneak something through," Jesse Sheidlower said on the National Post Web site.

Her video also shows her parading around scantily clad and making gestures that allude to one thing as the extras in the video contribute to the overall message.

ABC New's Web site recently posted a story that mentioned a group of New Jersey families being aware of what Spears was saying with one mother admitting she turned off the song "one second" after it came on because she was not happy with what she heard.

"It tries to, like, sneak things in," 11-year-old Kara Grifonetti told ABC News.

I can only imagine that her crazed, seemingly unstable fan Chris Crocker backs Spears 100 percent, seeing as though he basically made a public service announcement in 2008 where he repeatedly asked everyone to "leave her alone."

I, however, see no need for people to defend her or pretend like she didn't know what she was saying. Believe it or not, one blogger tried convincing herself and everyone this, later saying she would like to put Britney on an island away from everyone in the media. She knew what she was writing-no bones about it.

So while some Americans, along with myself, do not agree with the message Spears is sending to everyone through her twisted, promiscuous lingo, if she can get away with it, obviously she is doing something right. And, in the words of Chris Crocker, I guess I will leave her alone.
