'Recent erratic behaviour'? What is so recent about it - it seems to have been ongoing for a long time!

Britney vs BeyonceJul 1st, 2007 - 17:53:43

It is obvious that Britney does not have the support of her family like Beyonce does.

Britney wanted to become famous - and she deserved it, but there seems to have been no plan in place for once she did become famous.

And instead of standing on her platform - and reeling out performance after performance, she is crumbling - whereas Beyonce is going from strength to strength, with her family's support.

Perhaps a short stint in jail - like Hilton - would help her to see herself more clearly.
