But after a very public meltdown at the beginning of 2007, the troubled pop princess has got herself back on track and is currently preparing for her world tour where she’ll be hoping to prove to everyone that she’s better than ever.
So Brit could have done with a controversy-free 2009.
But she got off to a bad start when she announced that the third single to be released from her comeback album Circus will be If You Seek Amy.
It all sounds very innocent but, as I revealed last year, the title of the song actually means something very naughty indeed.
Say the name very slowly and what you actually get is an explicit, erm, invitation.
To put it into context, one of the lines in the song is: “All the boys and the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy.”
I’m not the only one who noticed the alternative way of reading the track and US radio stations threatened to BAN it from their airwaves when they realised what was going on.
Banned
Britney is one of those acts who appeals to all ages and this is not exactly the type of song parents want their kids singing along to.
So now, faced with the prospect of the single being banned across America, she has gone back into the studio and rerecorded it.
But fans may be a little disappointed with the outcome.
Rather than rewriting the song, Brit and her label have simply dropped the “K” from the end of “seek” and renamed the song “If You See Amy”.
The removal of that one letter might have kept parents and radio stations happy but the downside is that the track now makes no sense whatsoever.
Not that that should stand in the way of Britney bagging the No. 1 spot.
Just look at cheesy Scandinavian pop quartet Aqua and their 1997 nonsense chart-topper Barbie Girl . . .
