One thing about Britney that I have to give her credit for (even with her quick slide to infamy as opposed to famy) is how long she has lasted. Pretty much from her first big splash everybody has been saying "she's still alive?"
Unlike most musical acts I have a very clear memory of when I first heard of her since it was at the very first online Disney fan gathering I went to back in 1999 and people were already saying it then (and theorizing on whether she had had a boob job).
The other big "they'll never last" group at the same time was The Spice Girls (though I think they were a bit) . Compared to them, Britney has been immortal.
