Britney Spears' weird awareness
See more » Music
Music video director Joseph Kahn essays an explanation of Britney Spear's singular appeal. Having only seen her first video I have no idea myself.
"That's part of her brilliance," Kahn said. "She has this weird awareness of her appeal. She totally understands that she's naughty and nice, that she's the girl next door gone bad who is constantly titillating you. She's not like most artists who flaunt their pure sexuality. She toys with you and leaves you conflicted."
