00:00It's very overwhelming sometimes, that people look at you.
00:22What do we want?
00:23Free treatment!
00:24And when do we want it?
00:26Now!
00:30She really does have this amazing appeal, right?
00:37And I believe it's because she's so authentic.
00:40She's super real, she's very genuine, you know, she's just a sweet person and you just love her.
00:46You see her and you love her and you want to be her friend and you want to support her journey along the way.
01:00I've always wanted to perform and being on stage, that's the best feeling in the world.
01:30I did that show for two years and that's when I got all of my experience with singing, dancing and acting.
01:50It's a wonderful song, but I really was surprised that it happened so fast.
01:55Everyone really, really loved the song. I knew I loved the song, but I didn't know everyone else would.
02:13It's so important to do normal things so you'll stay sane.
02:25A woman, I've said this before, is someone who has all the wisdom that she needs and has lived her life to the fullest.
02:40And I think that I'm trying to get there, you know? I think it'll be a while, but I'm getting there.
02:55The first time I was here was when I was ten years old with my dad and we had our rent-a-car.
03:08And we're going down here and now to be here now and being able to actually do this is very surreal.
03:25Being a mother has shown me what it means to love unconditionally.
03:43It is the perfect example of what happens when a child star evolves into an adult and doesn't have someone telling them what to do or giving them the right affirmative advice.
03:55It's been a journey for me, but I think there's a lot to learn.
04:00I had a lot of fun, but there was a lot of work to do.
04:04I'm sure it will be a lot of work.
04:07But I hope I'll be able to give it back to you.
04:12I'm going to try.
04:14I'm going to try.
04:17OK, I'm going to try.
04:18I'm going to try.
04:20I'm going to try.
04:21I'm going to try.
04:22I'm going to try.
04:23I'm going to try.
04:24To be able to have one place in one city, one show, it's amazing, it's really grounding
04:41and it's really cool.
05:01I cannot thank my fans enough for all of their love and support.
06:01I am traumatized, you know, fake it till you make it.
06:31But now I'm telling you the truth, OK?
06:33I'm not happy.
06:34I can't sleep.
06:35I'm so angry.
06:36It's insane.
06:37And I'm depressed.
06:38Now for her to have her day and to speak unfiltered, I'm so happy.
07:01My firm and I are moving aggressively and expeditiously to file a petition to remove
07:09Jamie Spears.
07:31Jamie Spears is no longer a conservator.
07:44I think the support of the Free Britney movement has been instrumental.
