Official Britney Spears Appreciation Thread - [Pretty Girls now available on Itunes]

[MrGaryy]

i dont see how that makes her the queen of pop. the queen of promoting tours in 2009, most definitely.

[MiuMiu]

Beyonce sold out everywhere too.
Fact.
What does that make her?

[MarkWaldorf]

The tour's gone amazingly well!

[Zac]

& I think alot of Britney fans are saying they like it just because it's Britney and they think they have to love everything she does.

I think exactly the same thing. I think they all secretly hate it. Can't blame them though, it was a huge let down.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah 'we secretly hate it' :conf:

[001steven]

Well i don't secretly hate either:nono:

[M X]

Beyonce sold out everywhere too.
Fact.
What does that make her?
:conf:

Omg so wrong. In fact Beyonce's tour was a tragic flop :sad: Shame.

Look at the boxscore data. Only a select few dates sold out and at one stage she sells as low as 64% of the arena.

[KKBL]

Hated "3" on my first listen but its growing on me now.

[Zac]

It's kinda growing on me too now. :/
I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing.

[001steven]

It's a great song.

Glad to how successfull the tour is, I read that to that the shows sold out

[MarkWaldorf]

I knew it'd grow on everyone.

You've actaually mad me angry by your ignorance.

:rolleyes:

I know for a fact that Britney's 2 concerts didn't sell out in Ireland and she only played 2 nights here.
Beyonce played 4 nights in irealnd with 2 more to go in November. They were all sld out and the 2 in November are all sold out!
:whistle:

In an article headlined "Concert Charts: Fierce Showing By Beyoncé On Top Tours List," music journalist Bob Allen wrote that "....AEG Live, the promoter of the tour's European leg reports more than $23 million in ticket sales, including four sellouts at London's O2 Arena and four more sellouts at Dublin's O2. (With) European totals...combined with more recent U.S. shows promoted by Live Nation, Beyoncé easily lands in the top spot on this week's rankings. With reported grosses topping $36 million since the tour began, her show ranks among the top 15 grossing tours of the year, with still more dates scheduled into the fall."


With an overall box office tally of $26,476,830 for the period covered, Beyoncé's "I AM..." tour achieved a remarkable 97% ticket sell-through (357,074 seats out of a possible 368,210) on 29 shows from Croatia to Sacramento.

The US leg of Beyoncé's "I AM..." tour ends this week with a four-night residency at the Encore Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas running from Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2.


Following a pair of one-off shows in August at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and the opening of the Donbass Stadium in the Ukraine, Beyoncé's "I AM..." world tour resumes with concerts planned for Australia, Japan, Korea, Asia, Africa with a return to Europe slated for November.

well to be fair, Michael was referring to the second US leg only, so the lack of sell out at the Dublin shows isn't really relevant.

:thumbs2:I made you angry? pmsfl. get a grip!

Beyonce's tour was a flop. She's a huge superstar but is selling 57% of 10, 000 capacity venues in France. :bored:

And the U.S and Canada leg was also a flop. Britney's tour has been such a huge success but Beyonce's hasn't. I'm not hating, I'm just telling the truth. I like Beyonce. And I like her tour. But the ticket sales aren't good. Just because Beyonce sold out a few shows in Ireland dosen't make the tour a success.

And the ticket sales were so low in the States that they were reduced to $10-$5 and in the U.K. they were given away free on every radio station, and in trident gum wrappers.

:laugh3: But nevermind.

I knew it would be something like that, but likewise, I might get it.

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm definitely getting it and the standard<3

[Callum]

The box itself looks similar to my Friends boxset, but that was in red. I like it though, would be nice to get it. :hugesmile:

Lol, I was actually pretty cranky.
It was early in the morning and I had just woken up on the wrong side if you know what mean.
It's not steller, but it's not flop.
And the trident gum giviaway was actually for a concert made up fully of free tickets sponsored by trident gum.
And the tickets for Beyonce were priced between $75 and $150 for the golden circle.
But meh... It was a fantastic concert. All of the reviewers said it's the best concert to go to this year, better than Britney's. And I was at it, and all I can say is wowness that was and will again (hopefully) be the best ever!!!!

:flowers:

[M X]

Did you go to Britney's?

And I'm not disputing the fact that it's a good concert. I prefer Britney's, but I like Beyonce's. But her ticket sales aren't very good.

[MiuMiu]

Did you go to Britney's?

And I'm not disputing the fact that it's a good concert. I prefer Britney's, but I like Beyonce's. But her ticket sales aren't very good.

No, but becaue Britney had just played the same week, there was a bit of a forore in the media over here about her miming to nearly every song.
And when the dj's and journalists went to Beyonce's and seen her singing live, there was a bit of a curfuffle.
Also, on the way to the actual Beyonce gig, there was a group of girls who were on the bus who were telling me and my friends about how their frend thought it was really a spectacular sight but was not impressed by the concert because of the non-actual-singing.

But I had the best time ever. Otherwise, as a poor student lol, I wouldn't be going again. I qued for hours to get in and managed to get into the golden circle. I was just meters away from old Bee face. :lovedup:

Yes, I went to Britneys. It was amazing! The best night of my life. The fact she didn't sing hasn't bothered me at all. She lip-synched most of her shows before Circus, it's just that now people bully her, it's a bigger deal.

'3' iTunes update!

Ireland #14
Italy #27
Belgium #85

[Callum]

ooh! Never knew it was out on iTunes already. :shocked:

Doing great so far.

[MarkWaldorf]

It's only out in Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy and Belguim right now. Out in the USA on Tuesday.

[MarkWaldorf]

Aww...

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac320/blackoutguy/09_1.jpg http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/disney-britney.jpg

[M X]

^ Awwww Nice.

and WOW 3 is doing great on iTunes then.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yep :D

[M X]

I hope it gives Britney a #1 single in the UK! It'll be her first in 6 years! :shocked:

Since Everytime, and if the TSC could go to #1 also that would just be ideal and her first UK #1 album.

[KKBL]

Even if she does mime,I still want an X-Factor performance of this.

[M X]

Same! I really want to her to X-Factor, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, and a TV special of the Circus tour and show in on like ITV or something. Great promotion!!!!

[MarkWaldorf]

No X Factor performance. Kyle said she isn't promoting this.

[Sophii3x]

Lovee '3' :lovedup: yay for dirty Britney! The song is just soo catchy.

The singles collection boxset looks nice, won't be getting it though seeing that I have nearly all of the singles anyway. I'll just get the album.

[M X]

^ The Singles Collection is the album.

[Firewire]

I think she means she'll buy the Standard but not the Deluxe.

[Sophii3x]

Yep, just the standard.. I presume there'll just be one disc with the singles and '3' included?

[Firewire]

Yep, just the standard.. I presume there'll just be one disc with the singles and '3'?

There is a Standard disc with 18 songs (including 3).

And the Deluxe with 30 songs ish.

[Sophii3x]

Argh, I'm confused now! So there are three different versions of the 'singles collection' release? a standard one (single disc), a deluxe one with more songs (double disc?) and then there's the singles boxset?

[Firewire]

Argh, I'm confused now! So there are three different versions of the 'singles collection' release? a standard one (single disc), a deluxe one with more songs (double disc?) and then there's the singles boxset?

Okay.

I confused you. The Deluxe is the Fan Box.

[Sophii3x]

Argh, I'm confused now! So there are three different versions of the 'singles collection' release? a standard one (single disc), a deluxe one with more songs (double disc?) and then there's the singles boxset?

Okay.

I confused you. The Deluxe is the Fan Box.

Ahh right, get it now.. thanks!
The standard it is then :P .. I'm only missing like 4/5 cd singles, and I think the box will be sold for a ridiculous amount of money anyway.

[MarkWaldorf]

The standard has a bonus track too, but no confirmation on what is of. Sony BMG Japan list it as 'It's All in the Game.'

[M X]

That sounds interesting. :shocked:

And I'm buying all of them. :thumbs:

[Callum]

I heard there's going to be a deluxe version similar to Madonna's new album with two discs, as well as the standard version and boxset.

[MarkWaldorf]

That could make sense.

[M X]

:shocked: :hugesmile:

[MarkWaldorf]

'3' #8 on Irish iTunes!!

[Callum]

Up to #7 now. :hugesmile:

Love how this thread is on page 123.

"1, 2, 3 Not only you and me"

[MrGaryy]

damn the irish really love their Britney, didnt Womanizer go to the top of the irish iTunes really fast after it was released too?

[M X]

YAY!

:hello:
:dance2:
:cheer:

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah then it got removed Gary :(

PLUSSS, DIANE SOMETHING IS DIRECTING 3.

[001steven]

Omg in America TSC is going to cost $99!!!!

That's ridiculous IMO, should at least be $29 or $39.

And apparently she won't be promoting it either:bawling: so someone says on another forum if that's true it's just stupid, but usually brand new songs do well anyway without promo, Madonna hardly ever promoted and her 1st singles of new albums chart well, so fingers crossed 3 goes no.1 cause it will help sell TSC.

The fan box does look amazing though and I will pay big money for it but it's not fair on people who can't afford £40 or £50 if it is that much.

[Zac]

ZOMG $99?!

[MarkWaldorf]

Well it'll be about £50-£60 here which is a good deal considering most singles are about 2.99, which with 29 singles would be £87. On top of singles you get b-sides/remixes and a DVD with special features and all the music videos on, so I'd say its a good deal.

[M X]

$99 isn't bad.

[MarkWaldorf]

'3' Director is...

Diane Martel


And the "expected" video release date is October 19.

(This date might chance as they might be pulling a IUSA with delaying it).

-this is still not confirmed

[KKBL]

damn the irish really love their Britney, didnt Womanizer go to the top of the irish iTunes really fast after it was released too?

Yeah but it got deleted right after it reached #1.Then it got re-released about a month later but was blocked by The X-Factor finalists with Hero.
But :elephant: @ 3 being so high.I can see it plummeting after the initial spike though.

[MarkWaldorf]

;O

[Callum]

Did anyone vote on britney.com for what they wanted for the "3" music video? There were a lot of really good ideas but I voted for "B in a church confessional. Sexual fantasies. Major dance sequences. Dark theme. Sin City."

[MarkWaldorf]

BRITannica said it was just for fun so I didn't see a point, but that sounds hot!

[001steven]

That reminds of tge picture promo in tge blackout album where she is in tge confession booth and sitting on the priests lap, that caused alot of controversy. I'd quite like that for the 3 video something controversial, can't beleive britney hadn't had a no.1 here for 6 years!!

[MarkWaldorf]

POM would have been number 1 if it wasn't for Basshunter!

[Callum]

^Stupid Basshunter. I can't believe people liked him back then. But saying that, at the time he was like an idol for the chavs.

[MarkWaldorf]

LOL-30stone cough-

I don't think 3 will be number one here, but w.e

[Callum]

Me neither because Leona's new single is released the week before and I think it'll still be selling well on it's second week. I think it'll definitley peak some where in the top 5 though.

[MarkWaldorf]

Hopefully. The competition this fall is tooo much!

[M X]

Is Diane Martel confirmed?

[Zac]

Hopefully. The competition this fall is tooo much!

Especially with Gaga unleashing her Monster and all. :tongue:

[M X]

3 video should be great, she's a great director.

Like A Boy - Ciara
Who's That Girl - Robyn
Watcha Think About That - The PCD
Read My Mind - The Killers
Boys & Girls - Pixie Lott

:lovedup:
All great videos.

[Zac]

Live streaming for SNL if anybody's interested...
http://www.justin.tv/boxlive2

[MarkWaldorf]

Insiders confirmed it....idk

[MrGaryy]

[001steven]

It's doing fantastic in Ireland, hope it goes no.1 there and over here

[MarkWaldorf]

[MrGaryy]

sftragic. Its vile, yet another Paint.NET creation.

[001steven]

I like it, but ivwill be getting the Box set. Good to see the Blackout picture on there they usualy try to avoid anything connects to blackout.

[MarkWaldorf]

I really like it too!

[001steven]

It's different to what I orginnaly thought it was going to look like I thought it would just have a new picture of her but I prefer this. Any info on how much the box set will cost in uk?

[MarkWaldorf]

£50-£60

[xDramatick]

That looks so fake, the logo's black but the artwork's brown? wtf?

[001steven]

It's got the sepia look.

And mark £50-£60 is reasonable price, but sadly I don't see the box set seeking well I think it will do well towards Xmas cause most fans will ask there parents to buy it for them. Realisticly I see TSC going top 10 only it might go Top 5

[xDramatick]

It's got the sepia look.

no, i mean the logo that says 'The Singles Collection' has a black background, whereas the CD background with the images of her on it is brown.
it's what would happen if you pasted a picture of the logo on top of that background.

[MarkWaldorf]

And growing! :hello:

[M X]

We are like the last place to get the song! :sad: Why?

[MarkWaldorf]

Probably because we're a bigger market and release dates have to be taken into account. We always get things last anyway.

[Callum]

Great to see 3 at #1 on the US store. It got there quicker than Womanizer did too! I hope it's #1 next week. Just hope it keeps rising on airplay. :hugesmile:

[MarkWaldorf]

She'll need to take down BEP though, so I'm kinda worried :(

[Callum]

Yeah I think their coming to the end of their reign now to be honest, haven't been #1 on iTunes for a while now but it's airplay that their doing so well on.

[M X]

Yeah I suppose so Mark.

[MarkWaldorf]

Though tbf she'll have a huge amount of airplay cause it'll have risen faster than BEP in the week, so it could help!

[Firewire]

But look at Miley

She has been #1 on iTunes for almost 2 months.

And only made #2 on Billboard.

[MarkWaldorf]

I guess!

[MarkWaldorf]

britneyspears 2nd day shooting my 3 video in LA with Diane Martell. Lot's of new choreography from Tone & Rich. It's gonna be hot!- Britney

-DEAD-

[Firewire]

I hope she adds it to the Circus Set List for Oz.

[MarkWaldorf]

If there's a DVD filmed they probably will!

[Zac]

Aw I really hope she gets to #1 on billboard though, it'll show all those haters that she's still got it.

[MarkWaldorf]

If she gets really good download sales this week, she could...

[M X]

WOO! Can't wait for the video! :hugesmile:

[Callum]

^Me neither. :hugesmile: All of her videos for the Circus era were brilliant bar Radar in my opinion, so I hope the video for 3 is just as good. The Radar video wasn't even that bad actually, since Piece of Me her videos have been on top form.

[001steven]

If britney makes top 10 or top 5 on the billboard it will still be a big accomplishment it's really hard for pop music to do well in America these days it's all about hip hop rnb over there. If she knocks BYP of no.1 then wow, and IMO BEP are so crap lol can't beleive such a rubbish dire song has been on top for so long.

And Im sure she will add 3 to the OZ leg of the tour, especially if there's a dvd which should happen.

[Chri$]

[MrGaryy]

would be even better if you actually made it. stop stealing zac, it isn't cute.

[Zac]

Why doubt me so much?

[MrGaryy]

a) a few months ago you could barely blend let alone creat masterpieces like that

and b) I know for a fact that banner you posted in the other thread belonged to Shawn at Exhale because I and others saw it there.

honey everyone knows your graphics skills don't extend past cropping LQ photos of Lady GaGa.

[Zac]

:bawling: I made it though! There's no other way I can explain it, I've already told you how I made the Gaga banner in the other thread. I've never been on Exhale in my life. Tell me to edit the graphic somehow and I will to prove that I made it.

[Zac]

& Don't call me honey either.

[MrGaryy]

i've told you go into the graphics thread an tell me exactly how you made it and I will eat my words.

[Zac]

I made a post in the graphics thread telling you how I made it.

[M X]

LOL owned @gary! pmsfl.

[MarkWaldorf]

YES YES YES YES!!!! BRITNEY SHOULD HAVE HER 3RD #1 ON THE HOT 100 TOMORROW!!

3 sold 254,640 downloads in its first week and should be enough to debut at #1. It'll also be the biggest debut to number one in over 10 years that wasn't a reality show song!

[MarkWaldorf]

This is amazing. No promotion OR video. Just shows what a force Britney Spears still is<3

[Hugo]

oyay

[MarkWaldorf]

teardrops in trinidad sold just 3,500 :(

[Hugo]

s0b
it was just a buzz single..it isn't from the album..-wtf.

[MarkWaldorf]

its from the bin gardens movie though :(

[Hugo]

ik, ik. its tragic.

[Iceman]

Not that you already dont know, but I came across this....might have some interest for you... :)

Britney Spears will become the first artist in over three years to debut at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 tomorrow.

The singer's new single '3', which is taken from her upcoming singles collection, has shifted over 255,000 downloads in its first week of release, according to Billboard.

The track is also expected to reach pole position on the Digital Songs countdown and debut at number 49 on the Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which is based on airplay audience on all radio formats.

The last song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 was Taylor Hicks's American Idol winners song 'Do I Make You Proud' in July 2006.

Britney's first single '...Baby One More Time' spent two weeks at the top spot in 1999 and 'Womanizer' enjoyed one week at number one last October.

[MarkWaldorf]

I was just about to post that!

SO HAPPY!!!!

SPEARS VOTED BEST CELEBRITY MUM

BRITNEY SPEARS comeback is complete - she has topped a new poll to find the best celebrity mum.

The Toxic superstar lost custody of her two sons after her public meltdown in 2008, but gained shared custody with ex Kevin Federline after she proved to the courts she had cleaned up her act.

And the singer's fans have obviously noticed Spears' efforts - she received a mammoth 74 per cent share of the vote in a new poll by U.K. company Park Christmas Saving to find the best mother in showbusiness.

Following in second place is Spears' childhood rival, Christina Aguilera, who pulled in 12 per cent of the votes, while mother-of-six Angelina Jolie was in third.

Late British reality TV star Jade Goody and mum-of-one Katie Holmes were awarded the fourth and fifth spots respectively.

Other famous matriarchs in the top ten include Madonna, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham.

[M X]

This just proves who big Britney Spears still is. No promotion whatsoever, no video at all at a debut at #1 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100!

I just love so much how she proves the haters wrong everytime. They said that the second U.S leg would be a flop, but every single show was sold out! At over 95% of the entire tour is sold out including the entire Australian leg, and a #1 single without any promotion.

Aaahh! So good!

[MarkWaldorf]

Now we have the video to look forward to!

[MarkWaldorf]

She's also #1 on the Canadian Hot 100 and set a record getting there!

Britney Spears is back on top as her single "3" has the biggest chart jump of the week from 86-1. That breaks the record previously set early this year by Kelly Clarkson when "My Life Would Suck Without You" jumped from #82 all the way to #1. And of course, this ends the long run for "I Gotta Feeling" which held down the #1 spot for 16 straight weeks.

Top Ten
1 86 2 3 / Britney Spears No. 1 (1 week)
2 2 11 SEXY CHICK / David Guetta Featuring Akon
3 4 10 DOWN / Jay Sean Featuring Lil Wayne
4 1 18 I GOTTA FEELING / The Black Eyed Peas
5 5 9 PARTY IN THE USA / Miley Cyrus
6 8 8 CHA CHING / Hedley (Greatest Gainer/Digital)
7 3 5 WHATCHA SAY / Jason DeRulo
8 6 24 YOU BELONG WITH ME / Taylor Swift
9 7 10 EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR / Cascada

[Firewire]

:O

I wonder what she is recording?

[M X]

Can't wait for TSC! and its out on the same day as TF:M :):)

[MarkWaldorf]

It got moved to the 10th!

[M X]

Omg are you joking?

[Zac]

Can't wait for TSC! and its out on the same day as TF:M :):)

:shocked:
Gaga vs. Rihanna vs. Timbaland vs. Britney.

[M X]

No, TSC is now the 10th. Which is stupid, because then it's released before 3. Which means no promotion what so ever. :(:bawling:

[MarkWaldorf]

3 will probably be moved up on download.

[M X]

Hopefully.

[MarkWaldorf]

Womanizer was out on download like 2 weeks before physical.

[M X]

Which is good! :D

[*mazedsalv**]

This is brilliant that she's #1. Its her 3rd #1 in the US.
Her 2nd since her comeback, which defenitley proves that she has had the biggest comeback in the US defenitley!! 2 #1s in a year!!! Brilliant!! :)

[Beastie]

I have heard the single "3" not as good as womaniser and that but might warm to it.

[Callum]

The "3" video was the first 3 day shoot since "Toxic" so I have a feeling it's going to be really good. I hope so anyway!

[MrGaryy]

Which is good! :D

not really, cos it means by the time its released physically, the download surge has pretty much died and results in a lower chart position.

[M X]

^ but it's promotion for the album.

[MrGaryy]

maybe, but not very much as she isn't actually promoting the single.

[M X]

yeah ok. but the single is still promoting the album, like radio & the music video is promoting the single.

[001steven]

Omg Im so happy 3 is no.1 in the US this has just cemented her comeback, now tge haters can't talk sh*t.

I hope 3 goes no.1 over here, so has the release date been moved foward??

[Callum]

I love how I keep hearing "3" on Radio 1. Sounds so good in the car.

[Christina]

I love her new song ''3''.. really catchy :D
