December is a month being synonymous with the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, which is aligned with the Water element, representing Britney Spears in her soul, emotion and youth.

Echoing the water-related nature of her birth month December, Britney Spears sings as though she is shedding tears to cry.

Winter and ice are related to water in December.

Standing in the rain leaves Britney Spears with the intense personal scrutiny, the hidden trauma and the pressures behind the scenes, all affecting her life.

For Britney Spears, a rainfall, mirroring human tears, symbolizes issues that evoke emotion.

However, standing in the pouring rain, not to mention splashing water at the beach, also gives Britney Spears slicked-back wet hair in music videos that are soulful, sexy and youthful.

The Water element represents the lowest and the deepest frequencies, but also the dark and mysterious depths of the ocean; this holds true for Britney Spears.

A husky, sultry voice like Britney Spears' mirrors moving water's fluid, echoing quality.

The Rooster, using 7 letters, is tied with the Buffalo for having the longest letter count of a Vietnamese zodiac being written in English.

If Water is added, the Water Buffalo has 12 letters, the longest of a Vietnamese zodiac in English.

Plus, Thursday is when 1981 began/ended, in similar fashion to Saturday, when 1977 began/ended.

Jessica Simpson (b. 1980) is also a similar icon to Britney Spears.

Similarly, the Jayne Mansfield, Mahalia Jackson and Jessica Simpson trio has 14 letters.

Distinctly, whereas Britney Spears is the modern and contemporary answer to Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Simpson is the modern and contemporary answer to Jayne Mansfield.

Plus, Jessica Simpson has soul/gospel vocal aesthetics via Mahalia Jackson.

The facial features of both Marilyn Monroe and Britney Spears are childish and soft, whereas the facial features of both Jayne Mansfield and Jessica Simpson are slightly fuller.

Houston, Texas is where Beyoncé was born.

United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. is a 1948 decree that changed Hollywood.

Due to this decree, film studios started divesting themselves of their theatre chains, indie producers and directors won freedom and films in the indie, foreign and alternative genres sprang up.

After the Second World War, television emerged in popularity as cinema's main rival.

Television's popularity led to a decline in movie theatre attendance, but also led Hollywood to develop larger-than-life, innovative and creative experiences that television could not match.

Some of the noted film innovations, including widescreen and stereophonic sound, were not enough to prevent television's popularity, but did successfully change the Hollywood film industry.

With innovations, such as widescreen and stereo sound, Hollywood successfully made a pivot towards blockbusters and high-end visual experiences, but also made a surge in colour production.

Hollywood also started to target a younger demographic wanting to leave the house (pivoting from the older demographic who stayed home with television).

CinemaScope has anamorphic lenses to squeeze a wide picture onto standard film, making widescreen affordable for film theatres around the world.

VistaVision is a widescreen film format for higher resolution and clarity.

Panavision is a company that develops superior lenses to counter visual distortions in close-ups.

Technicolour is a process to counter early television's monochrome.

Eastmancolour is a cheaper alternative to the expensive three-strip Technicolour process, which allows more films to be shot in colour than monochrome.

Marilyn Monroe serves as the defining cinematic icon of the post-decree and television era.

Just before the 1950's, films were made for general audiences.

In addition, the main exhibition venue for general films in the pre-1950's era was a downtown-based movie theatre chain owned by film studios, featuring a lavish look.

Plus, the core themes for general films in the pre-1950's era were escapism, romance, patriotism and traditional values.

Besides, general films in the pre-1950's era used orchestral scores and homogenized pop music.

The post-Paramount decree/television era, particularly the 1950's, meant that films were being created exclusively for teens and young adults.

Furthermore, the main exhibition venue for youth-targeted cinema in this post-1950's era was an indie theatre chain based in neighbourhoods and drive-in theatres based in outskirts.

In addition, the core themes for youth-targeted cinema in the post-1950's era were rebellion, romantic angst, alienation and anti-authority sentiment.

Youth-targeted cinema in the post-1950's period also used modern rhythm & blues and rock music.

Both the 1948 Paramount decree and television's early popularity are signs signalling the end of a rigid period for Hollywood, and a fresh and new generation of stars arrived.

Furthermore, both the Paramount decree and television's early popularity also led Hollywood to end its philosophy, which was "something for everyone."

With both the Paramount decree and the early popularity of television, American cinema underwent its transformation from a general entertainment habit into a targeted, youth-driven subculture.

Riffs, runs and melisma are vocal techniques being laden with soft and breathy whispers, vocal fry and choked-back tears/cries/sobs, all belonging to female singers with soul.

Aspirate offsets have a breathy sigh at the end of each lyric.

In addition, soft and breathy whispers are used by female singers to provide a intimate feel.

Choked-back tears/cries/sobs, vocal fry and cracks/flips also belong to singing girls/women to embrace soulful, sexy and emotional effects.

Ad-libs, frequently featured in pop, rhythm & blues, soul and hip-hop, are improvised and spontaneous vocal additions that enhance the emotional delivery and energy of a music performance.

Plus, the trend for multi-layered vocals is also used by female singers with soulful voices.

Harmonies and belting also add to female singers with soulful voices

Besides, call-and-response backing vocals, chords and moans, all coming from gospel, are also used in mainstream pop/soul music.

Standard ad-libs being utilized in the pop/rhythm & blues/soul music lyrics include "Yeah," "Oh/Ooh," "Whoa/Woah," "Mmm/hmm," "Uh/Huh," "Ah/Ahh," "Hey!," "Ow!" and "Woo!"

Meanwhile, the romantic/emotional ad-libs in the pop music lyrics include "Baby," "Oh, baby," "Baby, baby," "Oh, baby, baby," "Baby, baby, baby," "Ooh, baby" and "Ooh, baby, baby."

Plus, the negative/distressed ad-libs are "No," "No, no," "Oh, no" and "No, baby."

Besides, the hype/command ad-libs include "Come on," "Let's go," "Get it," "Listen" and "Tell me."

Ad-libs surrounding sexuality are "That's hot," "I'm hot," "I'm sexy," "Get sexy" and "Make it sexy."

Variant ad-libs in the pop music lyrics include "Hey, yeah," "Oh, whoa-oh, baby," "Oh, whoa-oh, hey, yeah," "Yeah, yeah, yeah," "Yeah, baby," "Whoa-oh, yeah" and "Oh, whoa-ooh, hey, yeah."

Furthermore, the other variant ad-libs are  "Mmm, yeah" and "Woah, yeah, uh-huh."

Plus, in pop music, melismatic styles, specifically vocal riffs and runs, are common ad-libs.

Incidentally, female singers in pop music utilize riffs, runs, melisma and aspirate gradual/abrupt offsets with ad-libs, all with a soulful, emotional and sexy rhythm & blues-like delivery.

Modern pop tunes also feature spoken parts, sometimes with a telephone effect, to offer female music artists a sexy, yet emotional effect.

Girls/women use wet hair in either music videos seen on/made à la MTV or live performances through actual water (rain/splashing, sweat from intense performances or styling gel/products.

Wet hair for girls/women creates sexiness, raw emotion and intense energy.

The wet hair look for girls/women in music videos or live concerts is the visual answer to the soulful, emotional and sexy vocal riffs, runs, melisma, belting, aspirate offsets and ad-libs.

Using wet hair for girls/women (either in music videos or in live performances) translates the physical effort of a soulful performance into a visual language of sweat, rain and raw intensity.

Incidentally, for female music artists, this wet hair and ad-lib combo could turn them into visceral/real performers leaving behind the polished star image.

For female singers, they utilize their voices to offer the intimacy (ad-libs, whispers and sighs) and their styling to provide the intensity (wet hair, rain and sweat) in either music videos or live events.

As a matter of fact, females look, sound and feel hot and sexy with soulful singing voices and wet hair.

Riffs, runs, melisma, aspirate offsets and trembling notes are for singing girls using a deep and soulful texture, a gusty and raw delivery and a thick and resonant tone, all overflowing with emotion.

To make a long story short, soulful singing girls are like stormy weather.

Both Marilyn Monroe and Aretha Franklin are iconic and world-famous female figures who influence girls/women doing the same feat.

Whereas Marilyn Monroe has a soft and breathy tone, Aretha Franklin is emotive and sob-choked.

Combining Marilyn Monroe's soft breathiness with Aretha Franklin's sobs/cries, whether in riffs, runs and melisma, creates a paradox.

Niagara, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire are Marilyn Monroe's films being released in 1953, all doubling as her breakthrough films.

Overall, mid-September 1954 (late-summer 1954) is when Marilyn Monroe's white dress scene and her kisses being blown to the cameras, both for The Seven Year Itch, convey hot and sexy youth.

Representing summer is the heat of both the fire and the sun, which rings true to Marilyn Monroe's Fire Tiger birth element, her hot and sexy summer girl image/persona and The Seven Year Itch.

Using both fire and air, Marilyn Monroe's flying dress and her 2 Idlewild kisses, which are promotional traits in September 1954 for The Seven Year Itch, make her a hot, sexy and charismatic girl.

Besides film, Marilyn Monroe also dabbles in television and radio.

For example, the 1950 television commercial for Royal Triton Oil, featuring Marilyn Monroe when she was young and unknown, is one of the first major instances of a Hollywood star in this field.

Cynthia is the name of Marilyn Monroe's car in the 1950 TV commercial for Royal Triton Oil.

Marilyn Monroe's 1950 television commercial for Royal Triton Oil is one of them in advertising's early talking head era.

Using her sexy and sultry voice/persona, Marilyn Monroe's 1950 Royal Triton Oil TV commercial is an innovation.

Prior to Marilyn Monroe's 1950 Royal Triton Oil TV commercial, early ones relied on rigid pitches.

Besides, Marilyn Monroe is inside the Bel-Air Hotel, taking a bubble bath and being wrapped in a bath towel in a steamy sauna for her March 1953 shoots.

Marilyn Monroe's bubble bath and towel-wrapped sauna in her March 1953 photoshoots in the Bel-Air Hotel predate The Seven Year Itch.

For Marilyn Monroe, her watery March 1953 photoshoots being held inside the Bel-Air Hotel create a paradox: a girl born in a Fire year using soulful, emotional and youthful watery routines.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You is Aretha Franklin's 9th studio album, doubling as her first released through Atlantic Records; it reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

During the pre-Aretha Franklin era, female vocals in mainstream pop music comprised girl groups or smooth and conversational pop.

The worldwide success of the Aretha Franklin version of Respect proves that female music singers in mainstream pop music could use powerful, soulful and emotional gospel techniques.

Girls/women sing the Aretha Franklin version of Respect while doing everyday tasks, such as taking a shower.

Holiday is Madonna's big breakthrough tune.
