the hashtag free britney is once again
trending all over social media
the movement started back in 2009 when
britney’s father was appointed as her
conservator
in 2008 but after recent pictures and
images posted on the celeb social media
fans are starting to worry about her
again they believe that she’s being held
captive and are now fearing for the
star’s safety
hey everyone what’s up and welcome back
to most amazing top 10 i’m your host
lindsay ivan and today i’m bringing you
the top 10 scary times britney spears
cried for help
people are really diving into the life
of britney and
are analyzing old posts and songs turns
out that she may have been
begging for help for years and we just
haven’t noticed but
before i begin let me give you a little
rundown on britney’s life
what not a lot of people know is that
britney was not allowed to sing using
her true
voice if you watched videos from her
singing live when she was younger you
would know that her singing rage is
much deeper and not as high pitched in
fact
it’s similar to that of christina
aguilera’s but since they were both on
the mickey mouse clubhouse together and
they were both trying to have a
successful music career
it’s believed that britney’s record
label forced her to change up her voice
as a result britney had to retrain and
restrain her voice to make it more
unique but over the years singing like
this actually damaged her vocal cords
then in 2006 britney wanted to release
an acoustic album called original doll
rumor has it that this album was her
plan to rebrand herself and sing using
her
real voice but her record label canceled
the album
after finding this out brittany has been
controlled
since the start of her career she is now
a 38 year old woman
and still doesn’t have control of
herself starting off this countdown we
have the leaked recording
in 2008 a recording from the rolling
stone captured britney saying and i
quote
i basically just want my life back i
want to be able to drive my car
i want to be able to live in my house by
myself i want to be able to say
who’s going to be my security guard keep
in mind britney is not allowed to
publicly talk about her conservatorship
so she may appear fine on the outside
but on the inside
she clearly feels trapped she’s a grown
woman and has
no control over her life it’s extremely
sad
this recording proves that britney is
not okay with the conservatorship
and she just wants to get her free will
back in our ninth spot we have the
lyrics
seems like britney has been put through
a lot against her will
in fact some believe that her music for
years has been hinting at the fact that
she is being controlled
let’s take a look at the 2000s hit song
lucky now pay attention to the lyrics
they go
knock knock knock on the door it’s time
for makeup
perfect smile it’s you they’re all
waiting for
one can interpret this as britney being
controlled daily
by people telling her how to act or
dress
like she has to wake up every day and be
britney she isn’t being treated as a
human being but
more like a product the song continues
on by saying
she’s so lucky she’s a star but she cry
cry cries in her lonely heart
and if there’s nothing missing in my
life then why do these tears come at
night
it seems as if people thought that
britney was living a life of luxury
just because she’s a star but what we
don’t know
is the dark truth of what goes on behind
the scenes
this might show how she isn’t happy just
being a star
and being the britney people want her to
be this may have been one of the first
hints that something was off about
brittany
in our eighth spot we have the dancing
video
on may 16th just after returning from a
mental health facility
britney posted on instagram a video of
her dancing to the song
scream by michael jackson fans are
wondering
why she chose that song in particular to
dance to
it’s particularly interesting since it
was rumored that she was taken to the
facility
against her will after not taking her
medication and going to in-n-out burger
with her boyfriend without her dad’s
permission
so the song’s lyrics go as follows
tired of injustice tired of the schemes
your lies are disgusting
what does it mean kicking me down i
gotta get up
as jacked as it sounds the whole system
sucks
then the song continues by saying you’re
selling out souls but i care about mine
i’ve gotta get stronger and i won’t give
up the fight that’s right britney
stay strong and fight on coming in at
number seven we have
over protected another song that is said
to have a double meaning is britney song
titled over protected which was released
in 2001.
in the song she sings i’ll tell them
what i like what i want
what i don’t but every time i do i stand
corrected
this can be interpreted as britney being
told how she
should act for years she can’t have her
own beliefs
she always needs to act in accordance to
how they want her to act
the song goes on to say i’m so fed up
with people telling me to be
someone else but me like i said before
britney was treated as a product and she
would have had to behave a certain way
to keep up the image of
brittany brittany was never able to be
her true self she’s been trying to tell
us this for years that she just
feels trapped god i need a petition for
her like i
feel so bad making our way down the list
at number six we have
my prerogative my prerogative was a hit
song by brittany that was released in
2004.
this is another song that has a supposed
hidden message in it
in the song brittany sings why don’t
they just let me live
i don’t need permission make my own
decisions
she may be telling us that she isn’t
allowed to make her own decisions
she was stripped from her own free will
like i said
every aspect of britney’s life was and
still
is being controlled we are now at our
fifth and halfway mark with the yellow
shirt
brittany has been under conservatorship
for around 12
years now she is a 38 year old woman
that is being controlled by her father
because of her conservatorship britney
can’t drive a car
vote get married have children do an
interview that
isn’t scripted use her phone
unsupervised or speak publicly about the
conservatorship
so fans are trying to save her from this
then
recently britney started to post videos
on tiktok and instagram
that people thought were quite odd as a
result a bunch of fans began to post
things like
if you need help wear a yellow shirt in
your next video
and that’s exactly what britney did some
say that it was just a coincidence
others think that she really does need
help on july 2nd
brittany posted a video of her in a
yellow shirt the caption read
i was so excited i threw on my favorite
yellow shirt and just had to share
the fact that she even mentioned the
yellow shirt in the caption
makes it that more suspicious but also
note the word
share was written in all caps as if she
wants you to
share this cry for help to others in our
fourth spot we have the letter
recently britney’s old photographer and
in-house director
andrew gallery came forward on tick tock
claiming that he had a letter
britney sent to him the conservatorship
destroyed the letter
but before that happened he made a copy
of it in the letter
britney refers to herself in third
person
she writes about how she was lied to and
set up so that her father could take
control as her conservator
she also claims that she was manipulated
into her divorce from
kevin fetterline and into giving up
custody of their two
sons in our third spot we have the
flowers
fans have continued to try and help
britney maybe
the yellow shirt was a coincidence so
they commented again
this time saying post a picture of any
flower if you are in danger
an hour later she posted a photo of her
hand holding
flowers the caption read god is in the
small stuff
and it all matters i don’t know i feel
off about that one it just seems too
coincidental for her to post
that specific photo an hour after that
comment
it honestly seems like a cry for help
moving on to number two we have the
dubs again it seems like britney has
responded to another
instagram comment asking her if she
needs help a user commented
post doves if you are in trouble okay
maybe
the yellow shirt was just coincidental
she may just love wearing yellow tops
and flowers are beautiful a lot of
people post pictures of flowers
but dubs not a lot of people post photos
of dubs
well on july 14th brittany posted a
piece of artwork
that had doves in it subtle
but the doves are there i think she’s
sending us a sign
there’s no way that this happened three
times just by coincidence
and in our number one spot we have 9-1-1
okay this next one really really really
creeped me out
on july 11th britney posted a close-up
photo of her outside under the shade of
some trees
the caption of the photo read the
natural light always reveals
the magic in the eyes ps no photoshop on
this photo
fans thought that britney hid a secret
message in this photo
so they zoomed in on her eyes which
seemed to be the main focus in the photo
like she even mentioned them
in the caption and many claim that the
word
call 9-1-1 appears written in her
eyelashes
which seems like a crazy thing to do but
if you’re desperate for help then you’ll
come up with elaborate ways to send a
message without getting caught
not only that but fans noticed that
comments about the call 911 in her
eyelashes are being deleted
and they went on to further analyze the
photo and caption
by looking at the emojis she chose to
use
so she has a camera tree and a cherry
flower
if you take the first letter of each of
those words you get ctc
which they theorize stands for call the
cops
it gets creepier it looks like britney
has the word
okay scratched onto her skin on her
chest
and now if she wasn’t in danger wouldn’t
you think she would have come forward
and dismissed the rumors by now
like she did say she reads the comments
it’s pretty scary let’s just hope that
she’s okay
and that’s all for today’s video let me
know in the comments below what your
favorite britney spears song is
and with that being said let’s move on
