This weekend, BBC3 aired Britney Spears Saved My Life, a documentary chronicling Britney fans with all-up-in-her-George-Foreman level obsessions. I didn't watch it (primarily because I don't live in England) but thanks to the video above, I don't feel like I have to. It's a supercut diced and piled by LA Deli, and it's full of joy that's either adorable or mortifying. I can't figure out which, and I don't really want to. The best bits are the tight shots on the faces of these young fans as (their favorite?) Brit tracks play. Be sure to catch the girl who bursts into tears during "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" (to be fair, it is a powerful song). Also, I think Tilda Swinton makes a cameo. Who knew she was such a fan?
OMG. Tilda. Well played.

It makes me want to expose the young ones in the video to some real soul music.Tell me you can hear Etta James and then go back to this cotton candy diet.

wow, if i weren't told otherwise, i totally would have thought rich was responsible for the editing. particularly b/c they kept cutting to that 'telepathy' dude (britney 1 or 2?) making that horking noise. f'n hilarious. i'm w/sara on the seductive glasses child too-so beyond freaky. don't think i could watch the whole thing, but now i don't have to. thanks rich & la deli!

You don't have the live in england to watch the BBC. As it's a British company you could live in scotland or wales or northern ireland and still be able to watch it. I know, strange that england isn't the whole of the United Kingdom?

Wait... that was a sex face? I thought that was a choke and die on it face. People's sex faces can be so angry!

I'm amazed Tilda had time to record this, what with her thriving career as an Ellis Island accesory to burned pregnant infants.
Astonishing.

I liked psychic boy staring into my soul on that Bobby Brown song she covered.
Awww...god bless Britney fans. I could barely stomach it but it was also kinda touching. Emphasis on 'kinda'...

The boy who didn't know what telepathy meant and couldn't say choreography went to my school. He is such a liar! He was always, always a Christina guy!
