Wow... Chris... sweetheart... I think this is called transference. Your therapist can help you work through this.

Anybody who isn't repulsed and confused by Chris Cocker is fucked up in their own respect.
And I don't mean that in a homophobic way, I mean that in a what the hell is wrong with that person way.

Great radio performance - all the sobbing noise - but few tears.

Chris, you too are going to run right into adulthood - sorry for the bad news,

BS has never had any talent ... what is new. She has always been a product.

She needs to drop back to the D circuit where she can make a nice living for the next 40 years - state fairs and such.

Get a grip Chris, my whole office was cracking up - now I have to deal with hours of sobbing noises.

Thank gawd David Schmader said it so I don't have to.

Maybe Chris Crocker should develop a meth habit; it might possibly make him interesting--maybe.

That's a pretty bizarre display of empathy, rage, and insanity. However, I still think the faux incest video was more convincing.

Yikes. Chris. Very emo. And all for someone who doesn't deserve an ounce of your sympathy. I used to kinda had a soft spot in my heart for his weirdness, but I agree, this little performance makes my skin crawl too.

Meanwhile, the dancing boy is hilarious! That is exactly why Britney shouldn't have been anywhere near a stage. This kid performed 10 times better than she did.

CC: Eww.
Hairspray boy: Nice moves (is he old enough for me to say he's cute?).

Many people have said Britney was shite from the very beginning, many also knew Bush was a creep too.
Guess what we were right all along but there are still gay men out there that like (BS) Britney.
First rule-
DO NOT LISTEN TO ALL GAY MEN! they are usually wrong about most things and suffer from that "Queer Eye" thing, you know "all gay men have it together" and are going to educate you on all there is to know about everything, all the while holding a martini and not spilling a drop. Well they don't know everything and most are boring and will do anything for attention. They just act all dramatic and star like just for emphasis so do not get sucked in by it. They just want another 15 min.
There is an easier way to get attention though as proven by Britney and many other useless celebrity sluts out there. Jut take off your panties Chris and have your picture take getting into a limo making sure you show some flesh. It is easy and gets lots of milage and you do not need talent to do it so you are a prime candidate. It is similar to posting on You Tube. You get a few more minutes to add you your 15 min quota or successfully steal another full 15 min. Either way it is short lived unlike truly talented people that deserve to be recognized and given unlimited time in the spotlight.

I hated him from day 1. I have comments to prove this.

What a creep little fucker. My favorite part is "If you want to mess with Brittany, you come through me, cause shes not well right now." And Mr Crocker there is a model of stability.

Oh and another thing there is only one performance worse than the Britney performance the other night and that is this Chris Crocker one.
There are more important things in the world to cry over. I think you got your point across within the first 5 seconds, the rest was just unbearable to watch.

Damn mediocrity is hard to watch! But like bad TV commercials that I know drive me crazy I am like a deer in the headlights at times I have to put myself through watching some things just because it is so unbelievably bad.....and odd. The fact that some people actually perform or record themselves doing somethings is just wanking for attention.
Like I said mediocrity is hard to watch! There is so much of it around and the world is wallowing in it. All sense of direction regarding true talent is lost.

I am relieved to see that I'm not the only one REPULSED by this Crocker guy.


I felt the original print editorial was more like a gushing love letter...like that creepy 'he can do nothing wrong' angle an older guy might fall into over a young object of lust.

This kid wasn't shunned out of school because he's gay. He was shunned out of school because he's a freaky ass gay.

I'm from an extremely small town too (and gay, and was out). But I didn't get out of that small town by being batshit crazy and hating on everything and everyone. I got out by working my fucking ass off to get in to college and move off to the gay haven/HEAVEN that Seattle is.

Hopefully he grows up soon.

(sorta off topic I guess)

That performance from CC is about as real as a three dollar bill, unless anyone thinks that tear-free crying and sobbing is genuine.

I'll add that I hope CC doesn't get wind of this post and sic his myspace dogs on slog again. I'd hate 200+ posts all saying "Quit hatin on Chris, he's so amazing!"

Chris Crocker? Not you again.

Anyway...Brtiney. Look, she is nothing more than a teen popstar who overstayed her welcome. When your target demo is tweens and under 18s what inevitably happens is that demo outgrows you and, hindsight being 20/20, laughs at you and themselves for liking you.

Every other artist bubblwegum p[op artist from Debbie Gibson to Tiffany to Back Street Boy have had enough common sense to get the fuck out of the spotlight before they overstay their welcome and enough sense to out of their own ways before they become the next trainwreck. If not that, then they've been keen enough to reinvent themselves as an actor or something forgivable.

At somepoinbt Britney's publicity began painting here as some sort of music industry force who was going to evolve into more than just a teen queen and groom up to an industry powerhouse of Madonna proportions.

Wrong. She's a performer and that's it. She's always been a showpony who can't write songs, choreograph, manage her own business affairs (and as evidenced by her recent escapades, can't manage her own life. Why should shye be able to, she's still unacquainted to living without handlers).

She started believeing her own press, stayed to long na dnow she's the target of all that misplaced shame her fans feel for actually taking here serious when they were young and impressionable.

I was already in my mid 20s when she was peaking. I think I speak for most people my age when I say she wasn't anything special to begin with and none of this is any surprise. She made the mistake of not cashing out and disappearing 5 years ago so the fiuckle public was going to turn on her regardless. She only compounds her problem by continually giving them cannon fodder in the form of spectacles like the VMAs.

Right now she could be:

• The most powerful woman under 30 in music (had she not gotten cocksprung, addicted and took advantage of the privelege she's earned by learning how this indutry works somewhere along the lines

• Blowing 40mg rails of OC in the privacy of a palacial estate in rural Arizona away from the public's prying eye, free of responsibilities (if she'd vanished in a timely manner and permitted everyone to forget her name, and avoided the marriage and kids thing)

Instead she's self destructing for the camera.

Fuck it, I'll watch. Keep it coming Britney. Most of us knew you were shit to begin with and the occassional sexy python dance or catchy hook can't change that.

Chris Crocker creeps me out, too. But I'm glad he's obsessed with issues like this as opposed to, say, debating foreign policy or railing against global warming.

How long before some club DJ mixes Brit saying "It's Britney, Bitch" & Crocker screeching "Leave Britney Alone!"? Add a standard techno beat and you've got a #1 dance hit!

I love, love, LOVE each of these videos for the exact opposite reasons. I mean, really: could there be a more perfect point-counterpoint on the merits of the internet as a forum for exhibitionism/normalization? God, I want that second kid to come to all my parties.

Oh dear - that Crockett lad is a bit much. I've known many a type like that and they usually end up alienating themselves from the other stylists at the Penney's salon, and calling me every Monday morning at 3am to tell me that they are sticking their head in the oven (Thank God for Seattle and the tendency towards electric stoves).

Dancing boy: Very energetic. I could not move like that anymore unless I was having some sort of seizure, but what is up with his room? When I was a teenager, my room was a showcase. Display your art, sweetie - don't plaster it on every possible surface. That only diminishes its impact!

And where's his mannequin? When I was his age, I had a mannequin, and if I were to do any sort of extravaganza with the betamax, you can be damn sure she would be prominently displayed.

It's things like this that make me worry for the youth of today.

To Chris Crocker - the person I formerly loathed:

I fucking laughed so hard at that. Bravo. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

"When is it professional to publicly bash someone having a hard time!??!"


ahhhh hahahahha.

It must be Hell having to grow up in public.

Wanna know why she shaved her head?

It's a result of the custody fight. She has to submit hair follicles, that surely would show her blatant drug abuse, and therefore lose her kids (which would be a good thing by the way)

No hair=no drug test=no drug detection.
For the time being anyway.

For a glimpse into her future in a couple years, see: Anna Nicole.
