Oh my lord this is heartbreaking. I’m listening to this while running errands with my mother and she said “I think Cheere had a lot of sympathy for Brittany” and I think your sympathy is VERY apparent. I think your coverage of this book has been just *chef’s kiss*

This is not a book I would have read, but you make it sound interesting.

I was Britney, in that I also was everyones doormat. I allowed it until my 50th year, when I discovered what boundaries were. BIG ones. I will never, ever be in a co dependent situation again. 😊 I am no one's doormat. My circle has gotten A LOT smaller, but I'm so much happier now, in my 60th year.

Took your advice and googled the Rolling Stones photos. 😳😬 What the heck was her family thinking? Poor Britney. No wonder she struggles. Talk about heartbreaking. 💔

Poor Britney was suffering from serious depression! Where were the people in her life to help her through it! 😢

Very revealing autobiography and we can always depend on Cheere to bring logic and ethics and morality to the whole thing. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Cheere Denise.

Merry Christmas to you, your family, and each who gathers here to hear your review. It’s a treat! I have so much sympathy for this poor naive, child like woman. She has been so badly used by so many people but still looks for good in people. Much of her career seems based on much that seems like child porn and. Fantasies of child porn. It’s pervasive in our popular culture and to me, needs to be recognized for just what it is. It’s destructive to girls. Love your comments!

The abortion pill is violence against women. My dear friend went through that. How dare they send a woman or teenager home to go through that alone! Imagine if we showed the proper outrage in defense if women's dignity the way people were willing for these ridiculous causes that helped tear down this country... Society is blind.

I had the abortion pill after my baby had died inside me at 11 weeks gestation. It was the worst pain Id ever had to this day and my husband rushed me to the hospital only for the staff there to mock me by constantly pointing out that I was over reacting to a little cramping.

Thank you for your commentary reviewing these books. I appreciate your mature & Christian view.

I think the thing that shocked me in this review- one of many, was that Brittany was only 15/16 years old when Hit Me Baby One More Time 🎵 was running on radio loops!! Shows how old I am, but I thought she was much older for some reason…

This is a very interesting, and seemingly _honest_ book. lt is nothing like ''Worthy'', or Spare. l was never a huge Britney fan, or follower but was there when all this happened. This chapter really pulled at my heart. l feel genuine empathy for Britney , as l know some of the things she is going through. Being alone with NO shepherding, mentoring, without being discipled. Having mental health issues but not really knowing it, not dealing with _extremely important_ trauma: like the abortion, and Justin's cruelty. l pray that Britney will be found by Christ, and know she has eternal life, and l pray that the realization would so turn her sadness into JOY, and Gladness! MERRY CHRISTMAS Everybody! :D

🐨🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺Wow what an excellent choice… & so brilliantly read with you own cultural take on this poor woman’s childhood! Such a breath of fresh air after the irritations of the Pinkett-smith book and the self obsessed musings of hapless Harry… so glad we are ignoring that terrible toxic rewriting of history by the very weird Scobie character! BRAVO & MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄🎄& good luck and patience with the new gsp puppy 🐶 🐾🐾❤from Melbourne Australia 🐨🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺❤

The sad part is that Britney actually needed a conservator. A carer, someone who could take care of her. Instead, her dad abused this power and stripped her of whatever self worth was left after everyone tore her to pieces. And you can see it now, she is definitely not doing very well on her own. My heart hurts for her, she was only seen as a cash cow and a sex symbol and was never given the chance to be more than that. She still doesn’t know who she is nor does she have a grip on reality today, she is stuck in her head thinking the same as she did in her youth

It’s just so heartbreaking how lost Britney has been her whole life. It’s ridiculous that Jada kept going on about being unworthy, Jada is a spoiled woman, while Britney has actually been treated unworthy her whole life by the people who are ment to love her most in her life. Britney you are worthy sweetheart, I just want to hug her, the little list girl in her. Yes, she is a women now, a mother, however, she has never felt true love. Shame on you Mr and Mrs Spears, you failed your beautiful daughter 😢 You are loved Britney, you are enough ❤

Quick shout out to the mother's who recognize their limitation and offer their children for adoption. Too often forgotten or vilified as not wanting their children

You have a Merry Christmas Cheere Denise. Thanks for the book readings and commentaries and all the work it takes to make a video. The saddest part so far is Brittany and the abortion. It is so sad the Brittany did not have a real Christian adult in her life, starting when she was very young.

I feel so angry that everyone in Britney's life has used her. I am fairly certain it is still happening today. That said, Merry Christmas Cheere and Thank you for working this into your busy schedule. It is very much appreciated.

Wow. I knew Brittany Spears had a rocky childhood and youth, but I had no idea just how rough it was. I can only hope that she finds peace eventually. Thank you for doing this video, Cheere. I hope you and your family have a beautiful and Merry Christmas! 🙂🎄

I am loving this episode. I feel for Brittany. Your comments are so spot on about her naivete and how women's beauty affects men... No one told me that when I was younger and now I try to tell my teenage girls something about this. You're giving me some words for this. Men are disarmed by women's beauty and women can be disarmed by men's reactions to them. Your commentary is entertaining and enlightening. I'm so glad you're able to do this with all you have going on. Hope you and everyone on here have a very merry Christmas and that 2024 is blessed.

Can you imagine, with the money and fame, been so lonely? It's kind of sad . Good video 🙂 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Why am I asking myself if this amount of introspection could really be coming from Brittany, as opposed to another person; say, a "ghostwriter"? I don't know what writing a book is all about, but this seems very well put together. I guess I'm just used to seeing "articles" about this woman in the Daily Mail, looking manic and disheveled, as she poses for what are meant to be provocative pictures and/or dancing in her home. There's an awful lot of unexpected lucidity here. I hope you have a beautiful Christmas.

Dissociation is real. All the types of it.

When I was in my teens (especially high school) my mother always told me “to be young when you are young “ she said “because you are an adult for a very, very long time). There was never a rush to get married, but to further my education & to travel & meet people. My mother turns 93 in February, she is spot on in giving guidance.

I love your take on various books. This kind of critical and thoughtful reading should be taught to people, not just consuming given information. Merry Christmas!

It really sheds light on she’s just a little girl who has grown up in constant volatility and stress looking for comfort and safety everywhere. It really does break your heart for the children who have grown up in those environments

Happy Christmas to you and your family. Loving this book. Not something I would ever buy, but a real eye-opener!

Justin was accused of cheating on Jessica with a costar.....he came out and denied it...claimed they were just having drinks...now we know he is a cheater....what a loser

What an awesome surprise! Merry Christmas, Cheere Denise. You are greatly loved and appreciated. ❤🎄💚

Thank you so much for your words of wisdom regarding terminating the life of an unborn person. It's disturbing how hard certain groups of people work to make it seem normal, simple, no big deal, like getting a tooth pulled. Inconvenient to be pregnant, the consequences of having sex which you chose to do with someone you weren't planning on having children with, or at least not now because you've got that vacation planned or a semester left in school or just got that job you wanted? Just get the procedure! It means nothing, it's just a heavy period! It's not a *real* person, just an inconvenience. And no matter how hard they try to believe this, they never forget. It pops up years later with a passing unexpected thought of "she would be starting kindergarten this year" or "i might have been signing him up for soccer". I wonder what she would have looked like? Would he have had his father's nose? Etc etc etc. Because each time it's a real human being. One you would have loved just as much as you love your living children now. That hole is never filled. That nagging feeling of "someone is missing" never goes away, no matter how hard you try to silence it with substances, relationships, more degrees, more money, more accomplishments. It's devastating that we as a society aren't even honest about what's happening. If it doesn't matter & it's just a blob of nothing, why are they pushing so hard to keep women from hearing both sides, considering all options?

Finally managing to catch up with the new episodes. This was a heartbreaking listen. How she survived that far with little or no guidance is beyond me and hard to comprehend. Thank you for your continued reading and insights of this book, it's much appreciated.

I’m late to this episode, but I appreciate your explanation so much, as they are mapped to your moral code.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you Cheere Denise for your hard work.

Merry Christmas! Prayers for peace and clarity for all this season❤

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for another great video.

Great analysis, thanks ❤

Well done, Cheere! Merry Christmas! Thank you for recognizing The Reason for the Season.

Merry Christmas to you Cheere and you lovely family, I hope you all have a blessed day together filled with loads of love and happiness ❤🎄🎅🏻🙏🏻❤️

Merry Christmas. Thank you for these fascinating videos.

The grown-ups are making or getting money from her. They don't want her stop working 😢❤

Surprisingly loving this book. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful Christmas Cheere, may you and your family have peace and prosperity in the New Year!!!

Merry Christmas Cheere! Have very much been enjoying your channel, I appreciate your work!

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and your family. Thanks for the new episode but now enjoy the holidays.

Appreciate your insights, I am really enjoying this with you!

Love your show!

Thanks for a close to Christmas treat! Merry Christmas!!🎄🙏🏻🎄

Thank you and Happy New Year! I'll still be here in 2024

Merry merry Christmas Cheere! I love your commentary and analysis on everything you share with us, showing how to be strong in your faith, your thoughts and be so kind and loving, while making us laugh out loud often! You are the BEST! Enjoy your family and loved ones this Christmas and may God bless you and yours always. 🙏❤️

Have a wonderful Christmas Cheere. I so look forward to your reviews, irrespective of the books. You have a wonderful way of bringing them alive for me.

Merry Christmas Cheere! Thanks for doing what you do, your intelligent POV is very refreshing, snappy, and entertaining. So much so that I jumped into this Brittney Spears book starting with this episode, when I really had no interest in subject. I'll be going back to the start now because your thoughtful insights have given this woman humanity instead of image (which is all I had) and I really LIKE her. Finally, on youtube viewing, not another narcissist, but a struggling empath. Although, she may well be the victim of many narcissists since childhood 🤔.

Thanks for these great chapters. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas Cheere, to you and your real life family, from a grateful member of your KZfaq family. I’ve had a horrendous 2023 but watching your vids has been a real bright spot in the darkness. ☀️🌈 🇬🇧

I have no words but 😢 bless her heart ❤️‍🩹 May God bless you and your loved ones this Christmas time and beyond 🙏

Merry Christmas Cheere Denise! I am enthralled with this book. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Cheere Denise! Thank you for your insightful book readings. I'm loving both books.

A wonderful Christmas to you and your family, Cheere! ❤ Your work is brilliant and I'd be lost without you while I'm gardening as I listen to them again, always hearing something new. Your insight is vast and your snarky comments always make me laugh out loud! 😅

What a great picture.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Thanks for the awesome videos.And God bless

I love the long episodes, so keep them coming. I love how empathetic you are with Britney's plight. She could have used someone like in her life while she was growing up because we would have a much different Brittney today. It's sad that she had no one in her corner.

Merry Christmas Cheere, thank you so much for reading this book. I certainly feel like I have a better understanding of Brittany.

Excellent. Totally enjoying this episode Happy holiday

🎉🎉yayyyy Im so glad you uploaded!!

Wow! what a life! I appreciate your compassionate and sane review

Cheere, what an amazing episode! The way you put everything that is read into perspective with much needed logic to it all. Britney needed someone in her life just like you to educate her, enlighten her, and give affirmations that she is enough, but unfortunately, she had no one that kept her from spiraling. thank you for reading between the lines. I can only hope that Britney watches this to understand that, although you point out things with true honesty, it's not done with malice but to educate on where and how things went wrong. Really enjoying this read!😊

Love, love, love your take on this book. 🙂👍 Merry Christmas🎄to you and yours.

I was never a fan of Britney's music, I'm just enough older than her it wasn't what I listened to. I remember seeing her everywhere though, but she didn't bug me the same way some celebrities do. It's as you said she never had that diva like personality she always came across so immature to me. I feel bad for her, she is the result of having absolutely terrible parenting. The way so many people took advantage of her, used her for their own wealth is just disgusting. These people do not care what happens to someone like Britney. She obviously had mental issues and they just kept using her. I remember watching Britney going through her mental break and being so angry at people for not helping her. She was clearly mentally ill, and people just kept going after her. She's had a very sad life, and all on display. So many people failed her.

Thanks, Cheere!! Best wishes!!!!😊

If you ask me this is not long enough. I could listen to you all day❤

I just have to tell you I adore and admire you! I find myself in complete agreement with your moral code and overall take on this crazy world. Be blessed and Merry Christmas

Thank you for being such a great reviewer/ commentator! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Thank you so much. I’m really enjoying listening this review. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas from ⭐️Texas⭐️

Catching up on my listening, a bit behind on both books. Wow this chapter was something. What a blessing you must be to your family and friends. I to have a strong faith and feel hurt from Britney as she has no understanding of who God is. Loving our Lord is no guarantee of no problems in life but you have a guide and the creator of all things who loves you unconditionally. Pray you and your family are having a great Christmas 🎄

Well that was excellent Cheere, I am finding this book so enlightening as to how Brittany became so fragile. On a happier note I wish you, your family and all the people who subscribe to our book club a peaceful Christmas 🎄 🌟

Love your summary of this book and I'm seeing so many parallels between Britney and a friend of mine. Not having a stable foundation and ending up in unhealthy relationships is such an issue. We allow things to slide when they should be unacceptable. Great you are highlighting that through your coverage. Have a great Christmas xx

Thank you.

Excellent perspective on the parenting skills of this girl Britney Spears and I look at that is almost child. Abuse, it is child abuse. My daughter always wanted to be a singer but when she was 15 she was so shy she just couldn’t do it and then when she was 17 she was in this play and she got a standing ovation and she felt sick to her stomach for two weeks and look at what that girl has gone through and and the terrible guidance and the way you shared your perspective, your ethics and values I’ve never been in a book club and I used to be a part of Oprah’s book club back in the day which to me now is just not acceptable. I’ll just leave it at that. Really looking forward to chapter 3.

Speaking of males being attracted to her sexuality - fun story. When her first hit came out I was nannying on the side while getting my second degree as a mature age student in my 40s, trying to pay for it. I cared for mainly doctors and psychiatrists kids probably because of my background as a paediatric nurse and mother of 4. One of my first charges who I started to care for at 6 weeks old I called Baby Tim. He would have sat in front of the TV watching Brittany perform that damn song all day if he could. He was in nappies and absolutely entranced by her. My subconscious has saved me from remembering the name of the song.

M'erry Christmas, Cheere! And congratulations on obtaining such a cute puppy.

Your opinion about beauty is very insightful. I think you are right. Once the hosts, mainly men, talk down to a woman is difficult to come up gracefully as they will carry on making the woman feel like less than. No every one is Scarlet Johansson. That one time

As a Mom, in the 90s...my girls singing along to this song...omg!!! Her story is sad, but honest...

Brittney has Daddy issues. It’s completely clear. That seems to be where her Justin relationship begins and ends as well as all the music moguls. Pitiful parenting let her down and she’s just been at sea ever since. I’m with you Cherre,I like the girl ( though I never did before). I’m glad you chose this book.

I can’t follow this sadness right now with the sorrow of the Israeli persecution and war and my sons’ sadness because their father is not doing well. Next week…

I’ve heard many actresses and actors state they became and lived their character. I don’t think that is so uncommon. It is uncommon when the movie is over ,done and released and still can not let go. Poor girl did not seem to be aware of her true self , always searching. I know I started to really step into my own late 20’s to mid 30’s. Perhaps there was something inside her that longed to be that young innocent girl, someone different than who she was. I give her alot of credit . Her hindsight for self seems accurate. She seems to be as honest as she’s capable. I find it concerning how she does not recognize the sexualization of herself as a young girl BECAUSE SHE WAS A VERY YOUNG GIRL. That’s the sickness of Hollywood and the influence. Britney Spears is not the first nor Last . I REMEBER when her video came out of her in the school girl outfit . My jaw dropped to see such a young girl dress in a manner that is many men’s sexual Fantasy, the school girl costume. As a parent of 3 daughters I WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THAT

❤cheere how are you my dear ??? It’s Gerri,I am unaware if you recall my message too you in references to 1 ) “ how I adore you as a person 2) how my daughter “ niggled “ me ( ❤) to watch your channel. Myself with no regard too KZfaq , no real regard for “ this new era”. Since watching , listening too your 📕 club. ( a sidenote I am now able to use emoticons.) the one thing that strikes me are not only the books that you read and how well you read and how you use your personality and your own morals, ethics beliefs, and I am a mother I am 74. I had Lasha at 21 and back then and I know you understand this even though you’re younger than myself I know that you respect people that have lived longer than you, I just want you to know I absolutely love this book Britney I remember Lasha dancing to this all the time all the time even at her age she would do her ballet and her dancing until that doctor came into our lives. However; since watching you, I’ve come to, except the situation in which we live, and, you’re a very inspirational young woman. I’ve learned so much about Britney Spears by listening to your book reading club and I subscribed and I did my daughter said to me she won’t take super thanks and I didn’t know what that was so then she showed me all of the channels that she’s subscribed to that she loves, and explained what it is, and she rarely rarely does it, or I would be very very mad, however; what can I do to help support you during Christmas and I used to think to be honest with you that Britney Spears this is my “”just absolute nonsense” and you put a real reality to these people that you think are out of reach, but there are no different than you were I you’re an excellent role model for younger people and people of my age so God bless you and have a wonderful wonderful Christmas with you and your family With respect GERRI

I've changed my opinion of Justin now. Before when everyone in the media, etc, were going on about Justin's behaviour, I was thinking, is he worse than her parents, her husband's. They've known each other since kids, he's young, and has a career to think of too. But hearing it now, he should have treated her better, because if their history from childhood. He just used her for his own gain. Hope he's reached out, and apologised after this.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I am really enjoying this book, I am tempted to buy it, never been that interested in Britney, I'm a bit old, but she seems so honest but naive, I feel like she needs scooping up and properly mothered and looked after. I think Britney is too trusting, having had an interesting childhood, and depression all my life, you get emotionally muddled, getting physical means someone loves you, you try to please everyone, though it's never enough. If I had then grown up with Britney's career as well I probably would have ended up in a similar mess to Britney. She needed guidance but everyone used her, her family used her, she was their cash cow, she needed guidance and someone on her side, the conservatorship was not to help her but help themselves. When she started the record company did not have to push her as so sexy, they could have toned down her costumes, she was 15/16 she was doing what they wanted her to do. Her fans were teenage girls but the record company wanted boys as well and to get teenage boys its sex that sells. to the record company make as much money out her possible , probably thought she would only last a couple of years, it was maximize her profits for them, she needed a grown up to be on her side, was giving her anti- depressants another way of controlling a naive teenager. It took to my forties to sort my head out and I never went through what Britney did, unfortunately the mental health rubbish never goes away, you just learn to handle it better, and recognise the signs ( most the time ) things are going wrong.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas ❤

Merry Christmas Cheere!

I’m feeling on point regarding how badly Britney was used and abused by many. It’s no wonder she lost control on occasion! I’ve always admired her and felt sorry for her all at the same time.

I've seen several interviews with Britney's personal assistant Felicia & keeping her on for so long in that capacity was Britney's biggest mistake. (Imo) Felicia was simply a family friend. She had absolutely no experience of any kind with anything. To Felicia, everything was just a lot of fun & whatever Britney said & did was fine by her. I'm actually amazed that Britney handled her fame as well as she did. She really was navigating it all by herself.

I had a coworker who took the abortion pill and she literally never got over it. I really think she had PTSD from it.

I used to tell people if it was written on the back of a toilet door it had more substance than anything i was told. I was mauled and pawed groped as a teen 12, 13 and all i got was im a slut from a sister and as much as i put that out of my mind during my drunken youth she never stopped with her venemous tongue. At 73 ive cut all ties but having a child alone was sisters prize and i wouldn't let her have her tooo taint with vicious words she tried! I can see Brittany's dilemma and the absolute immaturity and greed, possessivness of her family and didn't they milk that! Dear Brittany im amazed you survived as well as you did.

Have a merry christmas.x

The only thing I disagree with the general opinion on, is the pregnancy. Money isn’t enough to want a pregnancy. It’s not the only thing that prepares you for it. Tons of money do not qualify anyone as a good parent. I think it can be dangerous to think that if you have lots of money it’s ok to be a young parent even though you don’t want to. Justin clearly was not mentally prepared for a kid. It takes two people to make a baby. If one doesn’t want it, the other shouldn’t be forcing it upon them. I don’t understand why everyone is judging Justin so much for not wanting to be a dad at 19. And as everyone clearly sees in this book, Britney was also not fit to be a parent at that age. I think it was for the best. The way it happened, indeed, was supposed to be different and medically supervised correctly.

Wow. Bless Britney’s heart, praying for her and her kids. Blessings to you and your family as well. What kind of man writes sexually suggestive songs for teenage girls to sing? A perv does.

Your version makes a lot of sense. 😅❤

Makes sense about her identity issues, can see that in her instagram posts.

Thank you for your commentary on the abortion section of this book. 😮

Merry Christmas 🎄🌲🎄 👪

I always saw Brittany as a dirty old man's dream. I thought that was a large part of her viewing audience. Brittany was a good performer, but I couldn't help not notice how her backup singers were a bit louder than her and that she would get winded singing and dancing across a stage. I defiantly thought she was far too young to be such a provocative and sexual performer. I also understood why she went through the mental struggles she experienced. I hope that her life finds the peace and security she deserves.
