Washington, Sept 1 : Britney Spears has credited her father Jamie Spears for "saving her life".

After a series of public meltdowns, Jamie became his daughter's conservator, making all her decisions in January 2008.

"Britney now recognizes that if her father hadn't stepped in and taken the action that he had, well.. Britney is now crediting Jamie for saving her life," Radar Online quoted a source as saying.

The breaking point for the 29-year-old American singer's father might have come after the singer's disastrous performance at the MTV VMAs in 2007 - where she appeared dazed and wobbly while performing a dull version of `Gimme More' in a black sequined bikini.

"Britney always knew she would have a comeback. She just didn't know it was going to be on this level," the source said.

"Britney is on top of the world right now. She is getting ready for the next leg of her world tour, which will be on September 22 in Moscow.

"Her father will be with her for some of the European performances, along with her mom.

"Britney's relationship with her dad is in a very, very good place now. She was extremely emotional backstage before leaving for the VMAs and kept telling her daddy how much she loves him," the source added.
