Posted November 14, 200717 yr Manilow a Fan Of Spears New Album -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Veteran crooner BARRY MANILOW is "heartbroken" by BRITNEY SPEARS' current troubles, because the pop superstar's new album proves she has real talent. The 64-year-old hopes Spears can overcome her current troubles, which surround a child custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, so she can continue making music. He says, "I love Britney Spears' new album. I do. Though I fear for her as a person, somebody took care of her (with the album). The album was wonderfully produced. With this new technology, I don't know how much of that she really sang, but she's OK on it. "She has talent - that's why (her current state) is heartbreaking. I hope she pulls herself together."
