The Story of Britney Spears

Has Britney Spears become complacent?
She told V Magazine that she gets sent songs from all over the world.  It's no secret that many of her albums don't feature songs written by her.  Obviously, whether that's her own personal decision or the label's is unknown.  But it's not out of the question to suggest Britney may have decided at some point that she needn't do anything.  Why lift a finger when the world is at your beck and call?
While I'm sure many big name artists are constantly inundated with material, if you really have something specific to say, odds are very slim someone else can say it for you.  But Britney said herself she likes dance music; music to play at a club or before you go to the club.  Anyone can make that kind of music.
Don't get me wrong, Britney is an original.  No one can sing like her, annunciate like her, be her.  But, if the world was at your feet, what would you do?  If you could pick and choose from the best of the best, would you forsake that and go your own way?
As a writer, I want to be disappointed Britney seemingly takes the easy road.  I want to be upset she doesn't fight to have a voice.  But maybe she does have a voice.  It's just not entirely her own.
Other than a few songs, My Baby, Everytime and Someday to name a few, lyrics don't matter to Britney.  Perhaps that's the way she wants it: simple, direct and no questions asked.  No one will ever ask her what the meaning behind Hold it Against Me is.  That song merely exists for the purpose of existing.  If that makes no sense, then Britney's point is proved.  It's music for music's sake, which seems to be exactly what she wants.
No questions asked, no questions answered.
If her truest thoughts and feelings aren't in her music, then they're still in her head.  Still private.  No one really knows how Britney feels.  Maybe that's the way she wants it.
In the world of Spears, her doll parts are more exposed than her innermost feelings.  That may seem illogical, but then again, no one ever asked her about her doll parts.
Maybe she's complacent, maybe she's guarded, or maybe it's none of the above.  Whatever the case, as Britney herself said, her story "will make for a good book."
If it can't be a song, then that's the next best thing.
