Body:

Britney Jean Spears is a US-based pop artist, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She was born on the 2nd of December, 1981. She is the second child of Lynne Irene and James Spears. Her birthplace is McComb, Mississippi and she was brought up in Kentwood, Louisiana (Smit, 2011).

Brittney is Jamie Lynn Spears' sister. Britney gave birth to two kids with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

According to One Voice, Britneys maternal grandmother was an English war bride, and one of Britneys maternal grandpas was Maltese (Kleen, 2009).

Some of her current families were American-born, with a more significant number being English.

Britney Spears certainly got her fair cut of Southern experience in her early years.

At eight years she auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club. She failed, but this opened her way to show business.

From her interviews, dressing, and love of some specific cuisine, it is clear that she is still a Southern girl.

(Transition: With literally billions of records sold to date)

Building upon her meteoric rise, Spears released Oops! I Did It Again in 2000. The tune became a big hit on the album charts ("On-Demand Channel Offers Music Videos," 2004).

Brittney had presented her vocal talent of music on the pop entertainment contest Star Search in 1992.

Spears concentrated on growing her musical career. She finally signed a contract with Jive Records. In Dec. 1998, Spears recorded her first single, "Baby One More Time." The tune topped pop charts by early 1999. The music video was controversial because of her skimpy outfit, but she said she was just a sweet, innocent girl from the South (Smit, 2011).

Signal of Completion:

Summary Statement:
