Britney Spears Confounds Copy Editors

For starters, she misspelled Sinead O'Connor's first name as "Shanade," when listing the Irish singer for the song 'Nothing Compares 2 U.' Whether or not Spears knows that it is actually a Prince cover remains unknown, however we would like to congratulate her for finally recognizing that 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' belongs to Joan Jett. She did fail to mention that Jett performed it with the Blackhearts, but we're just glad she doesn't attribute it to Pat Benatar anymore.
Naturally, Spears still doesn't have all her facts right. Commenting on her pick of Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now' (which was actually first made famous by Tommy James and the Shondells in the '60s), Spears claims that Tiffany was "one of the very first pop stars in the '80s." OK ... but not really. Tiffany's career didn't even launch until 1987. So you do the math.
Thanks for coming back to entertain us, Britney. And please, keep it coming.
