Fun fact: Wade Robson was the one who suggested Britney Spears carry the snake in her iconic VMA performance, a performance that was very similar to the late Aaliyah’s music video months before.

Favourite Britney projects and songs and performances?

My absolute favorite Britney song of all time is Lucky. It’s literally a perfect song and my second favorite is Stronger. I feel like both of those songs truly represent Britney’s life and career. It’s eerie how songs she made 20+ years ago continue to represent her present day life and what she has had to go through and how she survived it.

And rounding out my top 5 would be (You Drive Me) Crazy, Oops!…I Did It Again and Me Against The Music. Honorable mentions to …Baby One More Time, Overprotected and Everytime.

Crossroads is a cinematic masterpiece with an all-star cast that does not get the respect it deserves and the Britney/Brittany episode of Glee is perfection. Honestly Britney does not get enough credit for her comedic talents. She was great on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Will & Grace and How I Met Your Mother.

I have to be basic and mention the iconic I’m a Slave 4 U VMA’s performance with the snake, but also the 2000 VMA’s where she ripped off the black suit really sticks out in my mind. I remember watching that moment so clearly.

It’s very weird the way that Britney VMAs performance with the snake was only weeks after Aaliyah’s sudden, tragic passing…distasteful, to say the least.

We have to bring back the "Short sleeve T-shirt over long sleeve shirt" look, I think it would heal us.
