Britney Spearscatapulted into my life at a time when I thought I was going to grow up to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson. I was 13 years old and had been dancing and performing on stage for six years when Britney debuted in 1998 with those three iconic piano notes of .Baby One More Time, and all at once I was taken with her energy, music, and persona. At the time, I loved seeing someone only a few years older than me with a passion for performance giving all the boy bands and rock groups a run for their money. Seeing Britney at No. 1 on MTV s TRL beating out juggernauts like the Backstreets Boys, NSYNC, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Eminem was my whole reason for tuning in. I am she, she is me.
