Britney & Justin: No Duet

August 23rd, 2007

If you believe everything you read on gossip blogs and Page Six, then Britney Spears recently backed out of a scheduled duet with her ex, Justin Timberlake. And of course people seem to be baffled by her decision, like, who wouldn’t want to work with JT, right?

I realize I may be in the complete minority on this - and it’s already prompted a couple of heated debates - but I for one am glad that Britney didn’t do it. Her decision not to work with Justin has actually made me respect her a little bit more this week. Why, you ask? Because why SHOULD she work with someone who, time and again, has put her on blast? Would YOU want to work with your ex after Cry Me A River? Or after they “jokingly” revealed private details of your relationship? (Keep in mind, that all happened way back when Brit still kept a few details of her life to herself…)

I know I wouldn’t. Maybe Brit’s decision shows that she still has an ounce of pride left in her.

And you know what, if Britney DOES have a huge comeback I do NOT want Justin to get the credit for saving her career. I might enjoy his songs, and yes he is talented - but JT is also, in my opinion, terribly overrated. I can hear the gasps already…and YES, I do believe that’s true. If I have to hear ONE more time that he’s “the new MJ”, I’m going to scream…

I am really bummed, though, that Britney also dissed Timbaland in the process. Now THAT pairing could have been awesome…

  1. okay if britney said she was going to do a duet with justin timberlake then she should go on with that because it will get her mind off things and might get her on the right path again….

  2. Alright. Why si that in every single story between Britney and whom ever. she always end’s up being the lower of the two. how come eveyrone believes everythign is written about britney. but yet doubt any reral truth and scandols about anybody else?. i find it reallly amusingg that eveyrone loves to put britney down. Theres no doubt she’ll be abck and bigger than ever. some of you think shes gone and faded. but shes smart. she wnats you to. and shes doign a good ass job at it. So when shes back on top vma performance or not. she’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. wether she sells one copy of an album or millions. its britney spears. the’ll never be an end . even if she dies.

  3. Ok, people are obvious going to bash JT, or they are going to bash Britney Spears these are completely biased so no one wins here.

    BUTTTT! I will say that Britney Spears made a foolish move. Knowing that she is completely washed out and done with having the help of Timberland and Justin Timberlake is one of the smartest moves. Look at how talented they both are and look at the degree in which their careers are both at. Honestly they are one of the hottest celebs out there. Maybe she knows she done and doesn’t see the need, maybe she needs more money… Who knows?

    I don’t personally want to see another album out from Britney Spears because I know she can’t top her “Britney” album. She was at her prime and maybe she’s just done. But maybe there more to the story and there is more to why she cancelled. But I give JT and Timbo props for trying to help her out… haha and maybe jeopardizing their career a tad.
