Spears was born in a small town, McComb, Mississippi to Jamie and Lynne Spears. She attended Parklane Academy, where she was a cheerleader and a member of the basketball team. She finished her education there via online correspondence and received her GED in February 2008 from Kentwood High School in Kentwood, Louisiana.
Spears made her acting debut in the 2002 Paramount film Crossroads, which starred older sister Britney, in a cameo role as young Lucy Wagner.
Spears then signed on as a regular performer on the Nickelodeon sketch series All That. Her performance was positively received by critics and she stayed on for the last three seasons of the series from 2002 to 2004.
She then took the role of the protagonist Zoey Brooks of the Nickelodeon situation comedy series Zoey 101. The series premiered in 2005 and ran four seasons, earning Spears awards from Young Hollywood Award, Young Artist Award and Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Spears also recorded the theme song for the show. Other roles include a cameo as Mandy Ferner in the ABC comedy sitcom series Miss Guided (in the episode "Hot Sub") and the voice of Goldilocks in the straight to DVD film Unstable Fables: Goldilocks & 3 Bears Show.
On December 20, 2007, in an interview with OK! magazine, Spears announced that she was pregnant by her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge. Nickelodeon issued a statement shortly after the announcement stating that the network respected Spears's decision to take responsibility and noting that its primary concern was for her well-being. Spears confirmed the couple's engagement in March 2008 after it was reported she was seen with a wedding ring. In May 2008, Spears and Aldridge moved back to Liberty, Mississippi, and purchased a house, with Spears stating they would raise their child there.
The announcement of Spears's pregnancy generated controversy, as the media was accused of using the story to "glamorize" teenage pregnancy.
Additional controversy surfaced because Spears was two years below the California age of consent, raising questions about her and Aldridge's age difference, and whether Aldridge could or would be charged with statutory rape (although Spears was neither from California nor living there). It was later confirmed that Aldridge was just under two years older than Spears, which meant that he could be charged only with a misdemeanor under California law, which has an exception for adults fewer than three years older than the minor.
On June 4, 2008, while in Amite County, Mississippi, the Spears family filed a complaint against Edwin Merrino, a paparazzo who they believed was following and stalking the couple. Merrino denied the allegation. He was released later in the day after posting a $1096 bond.
Spears gave birth to their daughter, Maddie Briann Aldridge, on June 19, 2008, at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb. OK! magazine reportedly paid one million dollars for the first baby pictures for their July 10, 2008 issue. In September 2008, following the announcement that Bristol Palin was pregnant, it was reported that Spears had sent her burp cloths as a gift. Comparisons between the two cases were made.
Spears and Aldridge called off their engagement in March 2009, and Spears ended the relationship and moved out in February 2010. Spears and Aldridge reconciled in August 2010. In August 2010, it was rumored Spears was working on a country album in Nashville but Spears does not have a record deal.
How Could I Want More
Jamie Lynn Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath the blue sky
Looking at a good man
Wanna be the right guy?
He's got that kinda heart that
Any girl would die for
So, how could I want more?
Treats me like a princess
Lets me have it my way
I could tell he's hanging
With every word that I say
All he does is love me
He swears that's what he's here for
So, how could I want more?
How could I want more?
More fire, more feeling
More stars than what I'm seeing
More hurtful what I find behind that door
More power, more passion
Instead of this acting
Like I'm the one that he's been looking for
I oughta say I'm sorry
I oughta say it's over
Let him live his own life
Stop crying on the shoulder
He'd probably say it's alright
And hold me while me tears pour
So, how could I want more?
How could I want more?
More fire, more feeling
More stars than what I'm seeing
More hurtful what I find behind that door
More power, more passion
Instead of this acting
Like I'm the one that he's been looking for
Lying in the green grass
Underneath the blue sky
Looking at a good man
And I know he's the right guy
He's got that kinda heart that
Any girl would die for
So, how could I want more?
How could I want more?

Imagine if Britney was allowed to sing with her natural voice? Sad what has happened throughout her life.
@juliemarin9999
What happed?
@VintageRose75
@@juliemarin9999 The record company would not let her sing in her regular voice, and made her sing with the more shallow and breathy tone she is known for. But, her real voice is more solid and strong and interesting, than what she was made to do.
Lots of people have exploited Britney, especially even her their own father. He moved in as the conservatory (I think that is the right word) when she battle some mental health issues in 2007. But, even though she has been mentally stable for a very long time, he won't relinquish that power. If you Google it, you will find many more details, than I could write here.
@kiara198923
I agree. I have no idea why they made her sing in a baby voice so much cause she has a powerful voice!
