In musical concern it was the same qualitative teen pop, partially consisting of dancing songs, partually represented by romantical ballads. In the spring of 2000 Spears fuelled the interest to her personality by the follow up Oops!.I Did It Again. The incredible popularity of this pop phenomena emerged a wave of alike teenage stars like Pink, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and others. The album gave green light to a number of other hits, including the beautiful ballad Sometimes and a fiery dancefloor single (You Drive Me) Crazy. This wonderful dancing composition greatly attributed to the success of Britney's eponimous debut disc of 1999 that was simply wiped off from the shop shelves.

Baby, One More Time, that made her a worldwide star. In the studio she worked with the best producers and in late 1998 the artist released her first single. One of Spears' demos leaked on Jive Records that eventually signed up the promising teenager. She auditioned for several teen bands and even took a short appearance in Innocense, but made up her mind funally to go solo. The show was abandoned and at 13 Britney came back to Kentwood and finished a grade in high school, but being 15 returned to New York in order to make a pop career. At 11, she auditioned for the second time for the same show and took part there with such future colleagues as Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake.

Nevertheless, one of the producers saw a future star in Britney and invited her to New York to attend the Professional Performing Arts School, where the girl consequently spent 3 years mastering the show business secrets. At the age 8 she was auditioned for the new season for The New Mickey Mouse Club at the Disney's Channel, but failed due to her young age. Anyway, she was brought up in Kentwood, went into gymnastics, performed successfully in this kind of sport at state competitions, attended a church choir and danced. Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, USA, but moved to Kentwood, Louisiana at such an early age that many sources mistakenly call this town her birthplace.
