Before Brit Went Bad

Who would have ever thought that the innocent girl with a hit album would become a provocative and controversial performer. Britney Spears began her career as a child in the Mickey Mouse Club. She then beacme very popular in mainstream music and pop culture with her debut album, Hit me One More Time. She was even credited with bringing back teen pop  during the 1990s. In 2000 Britney began to "go bad" when she performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. She ripped off her clothes to uncover a revealing skin-colored outfit follwed by a dance routine. Critics say that her performance that night was the beginning of her becoming a provocatvie performer.

Most Memorable Songs of the 90s

If you were a 90s kid you'll definitely have a good time thinking back to when these were the songs you sang along to..
  • Tearin' Up My Heart- NSYNC
  • Wannabe-Spice Girls
  • My Name Is-Eminem
  • Jump Around-House Of Pain
  • Baby Got Back- Sir Mix A Lot
  • Say My Name-Destiny's Child
  • I Want It That Way-Backstreet Boys
  • Baby One More Time-Britney Spears
  • Livin' La Vida Loca-Ricky Martin
  • Genie In A Bottle-Christina Aguilera
  • Wonderwall-Oasis
  • Gettin' Jiggy Wit It-Will Smith
  • California Love-2pac(feat. Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman)
  • Can't Touch This-MC Hammer
  • Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice
I love when one of these songs comes on my ipod when it's on shuffle or when Fly92 has their "90s Throwback Weekend" on the radio. My Name Is is one of my favorite songs to listen to now and I still know all of the words to Wannabe. Even though it's a little bit embarrassing, I remember when I was little I used to put on Bye, Bye, Bye, by NSYNC, and I would dance to it all by myself, and when I was in the shower I used to always sing along to Britney Spears because I wanted to be a a singer like her when I grew up.

Looking back...

Even though we were pretty young during the 90s, most kids my age like to look back at everything from that decade. Sometimes it's fun to listen to the old music or talk about the movies and tv shows that we used to watch, or the toys that we played with as kids, so this is a place where all of that can happen.
