Britney was raised by both of her parents Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears in a small rural town of Louisiana. At a young age Britney liked to dance and do gymnastics, taking classes and winning several competitions. Although she is shy, Britney had high hopes and dreams to be like her idols Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, so she took vocal lessons in hopes to be a star along side with them.

Now 17, Britney will be a bigger impact on pop culture than she expected. Britney ended up selling over 10 million copies of her debut, as the Billboard top Female pop artist, Top New Pop artist, and Top Billboard 200 album. In the early 2000’s Britney was nominated for two Grammy awards. In 2000, she released her second album, which topped the singles charts five weeks in a row. Although her rise too stardom seems like something everyone would dream for, she would soon start to experience the negativity side of it. She would soon get backlash from fans saying she was sending bad messages to little children because of her taunting actions and skimpy clothes she typically wore during her performances and in her videos. This would soon create conflict between her, her mother, and her management, in which all are pulling her in different directions. This is going to lead the media to start aiming at the 20-year-old pop princess at all different directions, they started aiming at her perfections and
You might think that a woman with a pedigree and resume as impressive as this would have had a smooth ride all along. Not so. Says Janet, "I went through a great deal of pain from about sixteen to nineteen and a half… Pain that I really wouldn't wish upon anyone." During those years, challenging years for anyone, Janet released two albums, Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984). She spent a difficult and lonely year away from her family in New York while appearing in "Fame," and by the time she was nineteen, had been through a divorce after a short-lived marriage to James DeBarge of another somewhat less famous singing family, the DeBarge Family.
I have selected Britney Spears as my subject for the reason that I realize that she has been through so much in her life and has a tendency to convey her emotions radically and live life on the edge most of the times. Moreover, I find it simply fascinating to scrutinize Britney Spears’ personality by means of the Psychoanalysis so as to offer deeper comprehension in investigating her personality. Even though this process of personality analysis is hardly ever employed today due to a deficiency of empirical verification and a disappointment to deal with any adulthood impact on personality, the approach’s stress on childhood development is a long way from without foundation. It permits for a fascinating and vibrant examination of personality as it imparts a comprehensive description of why Britney’s id conquers her ego and superego in a majority of her decisions, as well as reciting her fixations within the oral stage of the psychosexual development. By exploring her defense mechanisms, from a spectator’s view it is apparent that she stays clear of anxiety-provoking stimuli by means of warping reality to her own terms. Taken as a whole, this assessment of Britney Spears’s personality does an excellent work via the psychoanalytic perspective as means to reveal/display a lucid conception of her outlook on the world and the connections with her relationships as to why she is this way at the moment.

In 2008, Miley Cyrus posed for Vanity Fair magazine. Although the half nude pictures did not make the cover in the States, Italian Vogue featured then fifteen year old Miley on their cover. Just because the images were not featured on the United States’ cover did not mean she did not receive several full page spreads. The controversial photo showcased her uncovered back while the rest of her body was wrapped in some type of satin sheet. To any adult celebrity this would be a pretty modest shoot for Vanity Fair, but for minor Miley it created a whirl wind of conversation from the media.

The stage is dark. Thousands of screaming fans wait in agonizing anticipation. Smoke crawls out from the stage, and out struts a confident blonde woman. With the spotlight focused entirely on her, the crowd erupts into deafening applause as she begins her incomparable dance routines. She is an icon. She is Madonna. History has never seen a cultural figure with as much controversy or flair for the dramatic as Madonna, nor will history ever see such a figure. Madonna’s name is recognized by everyone, as is evidenced in a survey taken of fifty people of varying ages (shown below). These facts alone are enough to engrave her name in pop culture history, but the making of an icon does not stop there. Madonna is the quintessential example of an American icon because of her revolutionary changes to both the worlds of music and fashion; her entire life, from her early childhood to her 50th birthday and beyond, has challenged the conventions of society and changed the face of the music industry forever.
