BRITNEY SPEARS - LUCKY


Title: Lucky
Artist: Britney Spears
Country: U.S.A.

According to U.K.'s Official Charts Company, "Lucky" is Britney's tenth best-selling single in the country. This song also peaked at number one in the music charts of Austria, Europe, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland.

I like the message of this video. It shows us some of the realities behind celebrities' success. It shows us that winning awards, blockbuster movies, or string of number one platinum albums and singles are not enough to make a person truly happy. Sure, you are on top of the world but isn't it lonely up there when you have no one to share your success with? You are happy only by yourself. And then what happens when all of these temporary victories stop?

To summarize the message of this video: fame and fortune is not everything in this world, just ask Britney.

QUOTES FROM AMY LEE, AVRIL LAVIGNE AND BEYONCE

     "You don't have to be half-naked to be successful.  Just be talented.
- Amy Lee
Lead vocalist of Evanescence

I think Amy Lee is referring to those female artists who show-off their bodies during concerts and in their music videos instead of showcasing their real musical talents.


     "Actually, I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even sing on their own records and who don't sing live.  And that is pathetic." (about lipsynching)

- Avril Lavigne


     "Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.
- Beyonce'
