I never thought I’d blog about Britney Spears twice in my lifetime, much less twice in less than thirty days, but it’s a hot topic.

In a prior blog, I talked about the abuse allegations against her. With her very public performance, and the things that have been reported from “behind the scenes”, I can’t help but wonder if there will be more allegations coming.

If you haven’t seen or heard this, Britney made her “comeback” in a performance on the MTV video awards a few days ago. It was a horrible performance, and everyone has been quick to criticize her. One person has spoken out in her favor, and that’s singer Kanye West. He has his own agenda, but what he said has a great air of truth to it.

The hip-hop star said: "Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her."

He added that he thought MTV made a "bad move" by having the troubled pop star open the event in Las Vegas. West said that he felt he should have kicked off the show.

Here is a young woman who is going through a horrible time in her life. The other thing that everyone forgets is that she is a mere 25 years old.She has two children, is in the middle of a custody case, recently divorced, and has essentially grown up in the public eye. That’s a lot for a 25 year old to handle.

What struck me about the video is the look on Britney’s face during her “routine.” You can watch the video here.

When I watched the video, I watched her face. I saw a young woman who is empty. Her eyes have no life to them, and the expressions on her face are pained and forced. I’ve seen that look many times. I see it in the faces of attachment affected kids every day.

This young woman does not have her mother in her life. Family relationships are strained, so she has no one to guide her and help her. Sound familiar?

I hope someone decides to step up and help her. I would hate to see her kids become a part of the system. Her kids can’t learn how to be good parents if she doesn’t set a good example for them and no one is helping her to do that. She’s barely more than a child herself.
