Britney Primetime Interview 2003

I wanted to talk about an important video for video of the week so I chose the Primetime Interview from 2003.
I chose this for a reason. It's one of her most heartfelt and touching personal interviews.
At the time Britney was at the top of her game. She had just come off three massively successful era's, worldwide tours, movies, countless multi million dollar sponsorship deals, and a high profile break up with boyfriend of the time Justin Timberlake.

During the Interview it starts off light and happy. She talks about her life, defending her musical choices and public image which had been under intense scrutiny for being too sexy, too provocative and that she should tone it down as she was a role model for countless children around the world.
The interview then takes a turn and becomes emotional. She talks about her break up with Justin Timberlake and defends herself against the rumors that she was unfaithful to Justin after his video for "Cry Me A River" featured a Britney impersonator sparked rumors.
She continues to defend her image, saying she's not here to babysit children in response to angry parents disgusted at her sexualised image, and also sets the record straight on the lip syncing rumors.

Yes at 2003 Britneys life was still in a crazy whirlwind and I really think this interview reflects all sides of britney at the time. The sexy worldwide pop phenomenon and the sweet southern humble country girl that she still is at heart.
