Britney Spears talks on the start of her career and knee operation

[@anette0118]

You can see here, she tried so hard to look happy but she wasn't. Her parents and the industry pushed her to the edge. She was exhausted in this interview.

[@CuteMighty1]

She was soo tired in this interview, bless her!

[@Adeoca2]

This was from 1999 before the World Music Awards. I was 10 years old and it was an amazing time. You can tell when you look at her, like, she wasn’t comfortable or happy during the interview.

[@dicemarta]

I think she was just tired...Moreover, the questions she was asked were always the same, kinda boring...

[@renacleerican7824]

She is the Marylin of our generation. The show business industry and her entourage almost have killed her. But she is strong, resilient and I hope she ll have the sweet life she deserves.

[@thatsmeeh]

prettier than Marilyn tbh

[@kathrinangelou-8986]

​@@thatsmeehprettier than marylin? You need to change your eyes, marylin was very beautiful and she was so average😂

[@LorieH-v4i]

IMO-I’ve always thought that Britney and Marilyn Monroe have similar features..

[@hakimbandaru1915]

There are angles of Marylin where Britney does resemble her. This was before the nose surgery she had (Britney).

[@HarleyLuna31]

She even looks like marilyn wtf😂

[@ciaransammon]

What the world and her family did to her is horrifying. She is fucking precious. A sweet and enormous talent. 😢

[@bbygrlpt2]

This isnt from 2002 its from 1999

[@deejaysee]

She sounds like a wise, hard working woman at such a young age, sheesh… can’t imagine the wisdom she has now! She knows what’s she’s doing and I have faith in her… she’ll find her way out ❤

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

So much wisdom at such a young age. ❤

[@reinhardt5405]

After reading her book, I can totally see where she got her sweet personality from. Her British Grandma. After all, Brit highly looked up to her.

[@JG-sd9zd]

She was exactly what was written on the tin

[@faaaduma6876]

And how do you know that her grandma was a good person at all? Were you there with her when she was alive??

Love you Britney❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Chief]

Anyone else see traces of the current britney here? Very interesting

[@gwarghiss]

some times bits where she scrunches her face, limp compression and fidgeting with her hands. But if you watch interviews from 2004 onwards you'll notice a lot of traces of current Britney

[@banana_alice3]

What do you see?

[@David_Julian_777]

She looks so tired and sad in some moments... I guess she was forced to work too hard as a kid and teenager. These kind of stressors can trigger vulnerabilities for mental diseases, which otherwise had not occured.

[@anairdar9645]

I feel that it was not work what un balance her....I think it was her personal life, I feel there are much worse things that have happened to her and we dont know....

[@David_Julian_777]

@@anairdar9645 You might be right. I don't know her. So I can judge only based on what is known to the public. And this video is from '98 or '99.... So way before the Cship and everything. But I can imagine that her childhood and youth were already messed up. But here she only seems tired and sad but very professional at the same time which made me think she worked too much as a teenager.

[@jannis4608]

It's kinda painful to watch this sweet innocent soul get exploited by the media and everyone around her. She was just a talented young lady and they destroyed her.

[@faaaduma6876]

Surprised to know that she suffered from a knee injury at this time in her career, considering how amazing of dancer she was.

[@shaunamarie1053]

she changed music!

[@Luckyy227]

so innocent, with clear light energy, pure & clear yet balanced. No wonder she was loved but also targeted by the dark side of people/things/situations.

[@ChristopherIGomes]

Pretty Baby

[@Elfangel85]

It's nice to see her OG nose here

[@N_D0511]

She never got it done

[@gwarghiss]

[@David_Julian_777]

Seh really had the cutest nose ever.

[@David_Julian_777]

​@@N_D0511How blind can someone really be ?

[@FML_85]

She said early on she wanted a nose job when asked about her insecurities. I remember reading it as a young teenager and thinking "wtf!"

[@oli-v1j]

She’s sleepy and so tired here😢

[@Blurryface47]

that was in Monte Carlo in 1999

[@Blurryface47]

i love her so much !!

[@doreencellner55]

Such a good, solid head on her shoulders, and she is remarkably mature and wise beyond her years; hard to believe she is just a teen, here, and she is such a good, sweet girl, too. Truly, nobody ever had anything to worry about with her.

[@janetpatterson7915]

Aww poor Brittany. Exploited to the fullest. So sad.

[@joselozada132]

We love forever 💕 strong woman 💕

[@hakimbandaru1915]

Watching this Britney and what she has gone through, this interview is incredibly sad. I wonder if she knew what was going to happen to her in the future would she have still chosen this career? The media needs to leave this poor woman alone, let her live her life and if she wants to spend her entire fortune, let her be. I have no idea how Harvey Levin (TMZ) sleeps at night knowing his people have hounded her and traumatized her beyond belief, he should be ashamed of himself. Truly is a snake.

What a cutie pie

[@leeirby3857]

She really was a cutie pie back when she was younger at the beginning of her career before JT, K-Fed and the conservatorship screwed her up

[@alistairproductions]

@@leeirby3857 the cuteness factor Is higher in everyone when they're budding. I wouldn't put it on some imperfect relationships that she's not as "adorable". It's sort of inevitable, and not necessarily in a bad way.

[@jessejameslatimer8686]

@@alistairproductionsit was more than just age for her… breakdowns stress ect.

[@TheWordsofDW]

Y'all don't understand media training. Britney has been a professional since she was 4-6 yesrs old. She's intelligent, talented, and ambitious. Don't believe her family. Codependency with money and alcoholic unidentified neurodivergent parents is hard.

[@Aurora-Rose01]

What’s with the camera man zooming up on her after she’d done her intro?! That was Weird. Just saying.

[@AnnMax-hk9br]

She was absolutely normal that time

[@LauraTuller]

Little did she know what the future and industry REALLY had planned for her, especially her own parents. SMH 🤦‍♀️

[@yearofthedragonjane88]

jayden james looks so much like her 🥺

[@labellav1103]

God people are sooooo WEIRD!! At this point in the pop teen craze! Britney, Christina, the boy bands! Was literal WORK WORK WORK!! Malls, Carnivals, private parties small venues and BACK TO BACK INTERVIEWS!! WITH THE SAME ATTIRE! But of course after her debut her family saw money signs and the rest is history! Britney wasn't a strong, level headed young woman like people swear she is to be. She let them take the reins and never got to really have a say so in her career. Since everyone ALWAYS compared her and Xtina. Example: Right after Xtina's debut she chopped off her management because she was in the loop of HER career and then became a "Free" young woman, who got to have plenty control over herself. Britney wasn't that girl. A pop Icon for sure! but a machine for everyone's liking! Now look Its "Poor Britney" FREE Britney!! Sadly Its too late.

[@mattthompson6281]

See, she said that she would have more involvement in the next album (oops) and she’s write songs…well, that never happened..Oops was Kidz Bop BEFORE Kidz Bop. Just like she was telling VH1 that her next album would be more like Cheryl Crow, Oops became a preteen hit. Her label controlled her too much..that’s why all her unreleased songs are way better than what was on the record..except Everytime..I LOVE Everytime..but the rest are garbage..her unreleased songs is where Britney SHINES!!
