SUCH an amazing album.
Everyone of them could've been singles.
I know Britney didn't have a lot to do with the album itself because it was at the height of her going off the rails, but still.
it's amazing.

LOVES it!

[Callum]

Britney had more to do with Blackout then any other album she's ever made. That's because her management who she fired had nothing to do with it.

Pretty! :D

[001steven]

Looks like Britneys dad is the one to blame for britneys Sloppy cheography on BH.com he fired Wade robson, britneys best cheographer. I knew this ling time ago but still Her managent seriously need to loosen there strings, Blackout is britneys best album ever every song could of been a single, if she had promoted it I think it would of done a Fantasticly well sales wise. I hope for her next album she's In controll. Larry Rudolf still thinks she's in her baby one more time days

[MrGaryy]

anyyone who thinks every track on Blackout could have been a single is seriously deluded. It's a very solid album, by far her best work, but still a complete mess. the four singles released from it are the only track with any single potential on it. the rest are would have flopped.

[001steven]

No they wouldn't have, Toy Soldior, Get Naked, Hot as Ice, Perfect Lover, heaven on earth IMO is great very 80s beat to it, and Get Back all would of charted well if promoted. Blackout is her best work I don't understand how blackout is a mess.... It's a fantastic album.

[MiuMiu]

This.
It's WAY bretter then Circus.
And I only got Circus because of Blackout.

I don't even like the bitch.
But Blackout was amazing.
:xyxwave:

[MrGaryy]

it was amazing, no doubt. and most definitely superior to Circus. but far, far less commerical and almost totally unmarketable. It will forever go down as the hidden gem in her career.

[MiuMiu]

Britney had more to do with Blackout then any other album she's ever made. That's because her management who she fired had nothing to do with it.

WOW!
Well if that's the case, Britney must have apsolutely **** all to do with her music so.
Look at the writing and production credits for the tracks on Blackout.
She only had a hand in co-writing "Ooh Ooh Baby" with 3 other people and "Freakshow" with 5 others.
Out of 12 songs that's pretty pathetic. And you tell me that I'm wrong?

Keri Hilson made more of a contribution on that album then she did LMAO!
:xyxwave:

[MiuMiu]

Puh-lease!
The only reason it was unmarketable is that if they had spent a few hundred thousand on a lavish promotional campaign like they normally do, it would've been immediatly haulted because she was in the papers and tabloids pretty much every day back then for going off her rocker.

They weren't going to waste their money trying to promote an album when she was out being a crazy ****er on a day to day basis.

Britney herself made the album, which btw is her most commercial I think, unmarkatable by acting the crazy person.

:xyxwave:

:xyxwave:

Britney was the executive producer of the album, the only time she's ever done that. She produced most of the songs and co-wrote two. And also the fact that if she had still been with Larry then, they wouldn't have her making an album like Blackout. She got to decide totally what the album sounded like. And that's the most creative control she's ever had.

[001steven]

yeah, is Larry had been behind blackout i dont think it would of been as good as it was. i think its time she moved on from Larry, yeah hes good but back in the day, hes marketing britney as the sweet little angel well trying to, Britney needs to be back in control of her albums blackout PROVED this, she decided the sound, style ect of what it should sound like.

And omg have you heard Get back, omg it like soo adictive i heard thaat was gonna be the 1st release but they changed it.

[MiuMiu]

Jesus, was I in a bad mood or what last night lol?
:laugh2:

But I'm looking at the sleeve here. It gives who produced all the tracks. Her name isn't there after any of the songs for either Producer, co-production or vocal production.
At the back of the album it says Executive producer: Britney Spears.
Means nothing to me. They always say that anyways, just to make it look like the artist had something to do with the actual music.
She probably siad "right, I want to sound like that" and then people like Keri Hilson and Kara DiaGuardi went off, wrote songs for her and producers came in like Danja and The Neptunes and produced the songs and she basically just said "Yes, I like that" or "No". That's what it seems like to me looking at the actual evidence of the sleeve.

:shrug:

:shrug:I'm not saying she she wrote every song from scratch or w/e. I'm just saying, it's more than what she did on any other album, Blackout and In The Zone she had the most control.

[Zac]

I'm not saying she she wrote every song from scratch or w/e. I'm just saying, it's more than what she did on any other album, Blackout and In The Zone she had the most control.

And Blackout and ITZ went on to be the best albums she's ever produced! Something tells me she should always have more control on her albums.

[*mazedsalv**]

I disagree, Get Naked, Perfect Lover and Freakshow are 3 of the best singles she has done, along with the already released such as Gimme More and Piece Of Me. Get Naked is my ultimate fave unreleased track that she has done along with probably Unusual You and Lonely.
IMO, Blackout is only slightly better than Circus (Britney the album is my fave album, then Blackout and then Circus).

Unusual You, Kill the Lights and Mannequinn are the 3 HLS of Circus.

[Zac]

http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/11/23-End/britney_spears_dad.jpg

Britney Spears has reportedly been feeling "out of it" due to the control her father Jamie is exerting over her.

Sources close to the singer have claimed that his commanding ways are leaving her isolated and cut off from the world.

"She is so out of it she just doesn't care anymore," an insider told Fox News. "She just does what she's told and is totally in her world. She'll even call people at all hours of the night for a general conversation and acts like it's the middle of the day or something."

Of Jamie's actions, they added: "He's really trying to clean up her image. He's making a lot of changes to the people around her. Everyone is a bit on edge they could be the next one to be replaced.

"Britney's family have seen what happens when she gets too close to outsiders and they lose control, they don't want it happening again."

[MarkWaldorf]

Not true.

[Zac]

Really? Well I hope it isn't.

Look I love every track on Blackout, without exception, I could listen to them all for ages. But if you think tracks like Freakshow, Perfect Lover, Heaven On Earth, Why Should I Be Sad, Hot As ice would have done well as singles, you are fooling yourself.

First of all MiuMiu idk wtf you're talking about, when I mentioned it was unmarketable, I was not referring to her public image or personal problems at all. The actual music is not radio friendly, it doesnt appeal to as wide a demographic as her previous and current material. It's gritty, sleazy [in a good way], raw and racy, something which does not fare well with the public domain. So yes, it was her best body of work by far and Michael is right in saying that it is BY FAR the most creative control she's ever had and sadly, probably will ever have, but besides the 4 singles released [and even then BTI was a risk which certainly didnt pay off, which could be attributed to lack of promotion but I doubt it would have done much better even with that] the rest of that album is not single material. However they are all very strong, solid electronica pop songs.

[001steven]

BTI would of done much better if the video was better, but I personally like the animation video.

Get Naked and Freakshow WOULD have done well!! Yes okay, Get Naked isnt exactly a radio friendly song, but they would have done better than Break The Ice and Radar. WSIBS could even have worked.
I agree about perfect Lover and Heaven on Earth not doing well.

I do think that Toy Soldier would also have done very well too.

[MrGaryy]

Freakshow = flop. not many would disagree, there's nothing remotely commercial, radio friendly, appealing about that song what so ever, the lyrics are trashy, the beat is non existent, everything is tacky. I love it, one of my album faves but it just screams epic flop. Few with an acute knowledge of the charts would disagree.

[M X]

I agree with Gary.

[M X]

Britney didn't wear panties last night! Oops.. haha.

[M X]

3 music video coming on Halloween (rumoured) [/bump]

[MarkWaldorf]

Saturday?

[M X]

Yep. Not sure if it's true though. :shrug:

[MarkWaldorf]

Her manager did say its coming soon...

[MrGaryy]

it'd blimming well want to be coming soon.

[M X]

Britney always makes us wait ages for a music video. It was almost 2 months for Radar.

[Sophii3x]

I'm thinking of dressing like Britney (from one of her videos) at a Halloween party. Already done the BOMT school girl outfit at another party in the past. Currently thinking of the Do Somethin' vid as it's the easiest.. though it'd mean that I'll just be wearing black bra & underwear, cream faux fur bolero and bunch of necklaces. Anyone have any other ideas?..

[MrGaryy]

I don't think anyone would get Do Something tbh, its not very famous. obv Oops would be good but hard to do. You could wearing Circus stuff and just be Britney from this era LOL. or the flight attendant from Toxic.

[Sophii3x]

I don't think anyone would get Do Something tbh, its not very famous. obv Oops would be good but hard to do. You could wearing Circus stuff and just be Britney from this era LOL. or the flight attendant from Toxic.

Hmm, yea.. I was juts thinking of something quick and easy. Oops would have been good, I don't have the time though :(
Actually.. thinking of the Circus, I could be Britney during the Womanizer performance of the tour.. that outfit would be pips to make :P (blue shirt, black tie, high waisted black shorts, knee high black boots, fishnet tights-maybee, chunky waist belt, glasses and police hat). I don't care is people don't get it haha, thanks!

[MrGaryy]

np LOL, hope it works out for you!

[Sophii3x]

Aw, thanks!

Still soo excited for the 3 video.. they better hurry up and release it!

[MarkWaldorf]

ohh not long until australia now!

[atieah2009]

Anyone got sales figures for "3" on it's first week? I cannot seem to find them:O and it's such a shock that the song only stayed 1 for a week in the USA. But after hearing it had no video then......

[MarkWaldorf]

In the USA? 255,000.

[001steven]

its hardly had any airplay aswell which helps make a song stay longer in the charts in amereica

[*mazedsalv**]

Geting #1 without a video is pretty rare, so when the videos released, it could go back to #1

[M X]

I'm so ****ing proud of Britney! :D

[Zac]

What's the release date for TSC?
oh& when do we get 3?

[001steven]

Sam luftis been talkng crap again!!! Jordan reports, Saying he knows britney will talk to him again and that she isn't happy.

Seriously that guy needs sorting out,

[M X]

^I ****ing hate him so much.

[MarkWaldorf]

What's the release date for TSC?
oh& when do we get 3?

November 10th in the USA, November 23rd here.
November 9th I think we get 3 here.

Britney Spears is planning to marry for the third time, it has been claimed.

The singer, who recently reunited (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/news/a183310/britneys-mum-wants-her-to-marry-again.html) with agent Jason Trawick, is said to be so happy with their "deep" relationship that she is considering marrying him.

Showbiz Spy quotes a source as saying: "Britney and Jason have really hit it off. Britney is saying how this is the first 'proper' relationship she has ever had. They actually talk about real stuff and he's genuinely interested in what she has to say.

"He's so sharp and intelligent and Britney feels their relationship is so much deeper than any one she has had before."

The insider added: "She really feels like Jason is the kind of man who might tempt her to marry again."

[Zac]

^ If that's true then I'm really happy for her! :)

[MarkWaldorf]

1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3.

[MarkWaldorf]

More clips have leaked.

[xDramatick]

eh, tbh, they should use this as the official video:
uuqx-MzFKGc

ahahaha.
i saw a really good one on YT the other day -finds-

[Callum]

http://i37.tinypic.com/flej5z.jpg

[KKBL]

Its not that good tbh.

[MrGaryy]

It looks quite similar to Love Sex Magic - Ciara

[KKBL]

The video has actually leaked ya know?its on her official twitter.

[MrGaryy]

yeah I know LOL.

[KKBL]

ohhhh riiight..lol
I thought you were just referring to the pictures there but nevermind!

[MrGaryy]

I just watched in HQ. she looks an absolute hot mess, the video is nice tho.

[Callum]

I like it but I don't love it. I was expecting more to be honest.

[MarkWaldorf]

The video was described as 'simple' way before it was even released, so I didn't have any huge expectations. I love it, she looks absolutely beautiful.

[Sophii3x]

Just watched the video, she looks hot <3 Is the song going to get a physical release? They deleted it off HMV :(

The Aus leg is soon! This was posted on the Delta forum (from an Australian newspaper), kinda Britney related;

Dale Dorning Sticks With Delta Over Britney Spears
AUSSIE make-up artist Dale Dorning has turned down Britney Spears. Dorning said he was contacted by the singer's people about working on her Australian tour, Circus. But Dorning had to say no because of commitments with Delta Goodrem, including the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, which the singer is hosting with Good Charlotte twins Benji and Joel Madden in Melbourne on November 13. "I have worked with Delta for so many years, she is like a sister to me," Dorning said.

[Chri$]

I don't like the music video much, Its something that you have watched and don't care if you see it again. It was so boring but I love the fact she uses her fragrances in her music video's now.

Whats up with "Livin in this is the new thing" ?

[MarkWaldorf]

Probably got censored out.

I love how its not like any other of her videos.

[Fom]

This video is really bad, she completely gets over shone by her dancers... I really don't get Britney, she can't sing and now she can't dance. What's the point?

[Callum]

Livin in this is the new thing sounds pants.

[MarkWaldorf]

idk why they censored it :/

[Firewire]

wtf does SIN mean anyway?

like sin as in a bad things that you regret?

[Barbie]

why did they cover "sin" in "living in sin is the new thing"? seems a bit weird

[Chri$]

wtf does SIN mean anyway?

like sin as in a bad things that you regret?

I think it it has been removed because there are God's Ten Commandments and then there are the Seven Deadly Sins which are "Lust", "Gluttony", "Greed", "Sloth", "Wrath", "Envy", and "Pride" and they are against the Ten Commandments but Britney says "Livin in SIN is the new thing" which is SO true but as America is very religion based they don't want to cause any controversy and go against God.

[Harry!]

Great video my fave video from her for a little while.

[M X]

It's good. :D But Gary, why do you think she looks a hot mess? Her hair & skin for one look amazing! :D

[M X]

and WTF with the sin censorship? that sucks! :(

[MrGaryy]

you have to be kidding right? Her hair is disgusting, it looks so ****ing mangey, someone get the poor bitch a decent weave.

[MarkWaldorf]

it's been changed to 'nis' not 'this'

[Chri$]

it's been changed to 'nis' not 'this'

Meh sounds the same anyways. WTF is nis?

[MarkWaldorf]

sin backwards :p

[001steven]

It's not on YouTube yet?

[Ross]

Cute video. Simple and she's hot.

[MarkWaldorf]

ifkr, i love it sfmuch.

[Zac]

Uh I've has Hot As Ice on replay like all day lol.
& who added the tag "pile of shite" on this thread?!

[001steven]

McGary your always slagging britney of your always negative about her, sometimes I wonder why you post on here.

Anyone have a decent YouTube link please

[Zac]

This is the only video that has been uploaded to Youtube so far:
2bKEtm_C3Wc

[M X]

I don't think her hair looks a mess whatsoever.

[Callum]

Living in sin is the new thing is the best line in the song and it's been censored. :(

[Firewire]

Living in sin is the new thing is the best line in the song and it's been censored. :(

I know :(

wtf at Living in nis is the new thing.

[MarkWaldorf]

HD link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt4c_I4Vf4s&feature=related

[Callum]

Take back what I said now, love the video. She looks sooooo good and I love the dancing she does when she's in front of those bar code things.

[MrGaryy]

McGary your always slagging britney of your always negative about her, sometimes I wonder why you post on here.


erm because I'm a fan. who paid to see her live. she is my second most played artist. who has all of her albums. Just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I'm going to pretend to agree with everything she does.

[001steven]

Yeah but your always slagging her of like how bad her hair is, which IMO looks great, and then you say stuff like she's outshone in tge danceing, it's not that she can't dance it's the new cheographer she has he's just not getting britney they need her original cheographer back.

[MrGaryy]

Yeah i have said that. Because in my opinion it was true. Like I just said, I'm a big fan but I'm not going to pretend to like everything she does. Her hair looks ****ing mangey in that video, its my opinion, I'm not going to apologise if you don't agree, or hold back.

At the end of the day, I might go 'slag her off' - which I don't personally think I've ever done, there is a difference between giving constructive, justified criticism and being a **** for the sake of it - but then chances are I'll go out and buy tickets to her concert and buy her album.

[M X]

1,2,3.. Not Only You And Me.

[Firewire]

On SIN

There is an alternate radio version which sounds a lot better.

Britney's vocals are more powerful.

I wonder if she re-recorded it for the album?

[001steven]

Hopefully fingures crossed if my student loan comes through I can buy the TSC Boxset I mean £90 alot of money for songs but I think it's worth it but should be cheaper.

I'm really loving the 3 video now I love the beginng where britneys putting make up on and the end where the chrous kicks in and we see fast quick shots.

[MarkWaldorf]

Britney has landed in Aus!

[Barbie]

i smelt her circus perfume yesterday, it was really nice! so after putting some on i bought a bottle :D

[MarkWaldorf]

[Barbie]

[Sophii3x]

They are always saying this at every 1st me country she goes to, but I do agree she lacks interaction I mean where's the 'are you guys having fun!' ect and there should be screens of her.

Oh. Okay.

It might be different for some people.

I hope it does better than the Hot Mee Radar was. (It was hot, but was a mess in the charts).

[Firewire]

I would have told you on msn, but you aren't on.

Did you know that Sweet 7 has been pushed back to March 8 2010?

[MarkWaldorf]

[MarkWaldorf]

[Sophii3x]

Going to HMV tomorrow to see if there's a CD single.. there's only an Australia import on HMV.com and nothing on Amazon.

My boyfriend told me yesterday that Pixie Lott placed BOMT #1 on a top 50 pop debut countdown on that VIVA channel, woo!

[001steven]

3 is now no.11 on iTunes!!!!! Yay!!!

Mark 3 will do better the radar its a brand new song so it will I hope it goes top 3!!!

[MarkWaldorf]

:)

[001steven]

People ALL buy the HMV Physicle release of 3 we need 3 in top 3

[M X]

When's the physical release?

[MarkWaldorf]

idk :/ I didn't see it in HMV

[Callum]

8 on iTunes and physical release was cancelled.

[MarkWaldorf]

Why? :o

[Callum]

Dunno, lots of physical releases have been cancelled recently. Can't see the physical market lasting much longer, majority of sales come from downloads these days.

[MarkWaldorf]

I still think 3 will find it tough though because other big acts like Leona/JLS etc have physicals to add to their sales.

[Callum]

Yeah I don't think it'll go top 5 now, definitley top 10 though.

[M X]

FFS. She canceled physical Radar aswell. Now we'll only get physical 3 when you get the ultimate fan box edition of The Singles Collection.

[MarkWaldorf]

I guess thats something :p

[Callum]

I love 3 so much, think I might prefer it slightly to Womanizer. Every one in my class knows it, that never happened with Gimme More, PoM, Womanizer, Circus or If U Seek Amy. :shocked:

[MarkWaldorf]

Really?

[001steven]

3 is now no.5 on iTunes

[MarkWaldorf]

Yay!

[Barbie]

Nearly 3 on iTunes, ironic much? haha! This is amazing though, didn't even think it could go top 5 personally.

[Sophii3x]

Top 10, yayy! I hope it gets to top 5 :)

I went to HMV yesterday, there was no 3 CD single so I asked at the desk and the guy looked at the computer and said there was no record of it so they wouldn't be getting it :( So now I'm importing it from Australia on Chaos (cost me £3.80) which doesn't really bother me cause I'm always importing from Aus! Would have loved a UK release though!

[MarkWaldorf]

ugh importing is too much hassle :p

[Sophii3x]

I know, but as I said.. I'm just used to it! Aren't you getting the box set anyways? It'll be in there! :D

I can't believe that it's been 5 months tomorrow since I saw Britney in concert, arghh! Oooh, you went on the 10th didn't you?.. 5 months today for you, woo!

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah! I think they lowered the price too which is better. :D

omg so it is! happy 5 months britversary! :D

[Sophii3x]

That's good :)how much is it now.. £60?

I thought so, that was the date I was going to go to!

Happy Britversary! :P
http://i35.tinypic.com/2hwi5pd.gif

[MarkWaldorf]

yeah i think so? if you import it from amazon us it's only like 40 lmao!

[Sophii3x]

Just looked.. under £70 on Amazon, meh. Ordered the CD/DVD combo on HMV.com.. should get it next Friday/Saturday.

I'm so (wierdly) excited that Britney and Delta are gonna kinda be next door to eachother in like 2 weeks! Delta'll be in the Hisense arena hosting the Nickelodeon awards and Britney'll be in the Rod Laver arena on the tour. Maybe they'll be staying in the same hotel (I wish) :P

[001steven]

Guess there be no tour DVD then :(

Do they usually say they are doing a DVD or do they jst film cause on madonnas tours I never heard about it being filmed then months later there's a DVD I'm really gutted they decided not to do a DVD they know how much we wanted a Official onyx hotel DVD yet we never got one either, maybe Britney doesn't wanna do one?! So angry :(

[xDramatick]

How much is the box thing likely to be?!
I'm considering surprising my Dad and buying it for him for Xmas but depends on how much it'll be :\

[M X]

Steven, what makes you think there will be absolutley no DVD? We are only on the third show in Australia.

and to Daren, I think it's about £70.

[001steven]

ermm because theres been no mention, surely there would of at LEAST been rumours but so far nothing!! and if she dont do a DVD them im gonna be gutteed

[Callum]

3 on iTunes, ironic! :D Hope it can get top 3 in official charts. It's quite close to 2 on pop bars as well, if Leona and BEPs wouldn't have performed on XF this week I reckon she'd be number one.

[MarkWaldorf]

it's 64 pounds on play, daren. and according to gimmebritney, there's no tour dvd due to copyright restrictions.

[001steven]

Told you that's just BS what copyright exactly?

[MarkWaldorf]

like labels etc. you need permission to use them in stuff.

[001steven]

Just stupid absolutely stupid you know half me thinks maybe they don't want a DVD cause of her lazy danceing in austrailer, she seems to have got so bored of the tour :(

I mean a DVD is a good money earner couod of been released in new year but no nothing :( I'm so gutted

[MarkWaldorf]

Confirmed: No tour DVD.

[Vladimir]

shiiit :(

[001steven]

Yeah just saw that from Adam absolutely stupid, a DVD would of made alot of extra money, that's so sad :( really wanted a DVD! They have well and truely *****ed up now they ruin release dates, bad timeings, No Gimme More on the tour and now no DVD FFS!!!!

[MarkWaldorf]

Her Twitter has been hacked again!

[Fom]

Lmao I find it hilarious, it isn't like she uses her twitter anyway.

[M X]

NO DVD/ WTF ARRGH! :mad:

&what did the hackers write this time?

[MarkWaldorf]

something about devil worship!

[M X]

lmfao.

[MarkWaldorf]

britney beating gaga on fuse :D

[M X]

kinda half yay.

[Firewire]

lol

[001steven]

Have yiu guys watched the performance britney done in 2007 at house of blues??
She actually dances way better then she does on the tour the slave 4 u dance is way better.

I keep thinkng aswell It would of been so cool to have a blackout tour, a Gimme More Encore could you imagine :( and if you look on YouTube there are some great Fan made blackout set lists and video and Live remixes of blackout songs

[Sophii3x]

I can't believe there's no DVD.. so not fair :( But her curly hair on the tour atm is amazing <3

http://i37.tinypic.com/abtfk1.png

[M X]

^yah ikr.

[001steven]

She looks stunning, Its all been bs that fans walked out and sellng the ticked cheap, I mean if it as true Oz people must of been living under a rock cause from day 1 of the tour she mimed.

[M X]

3 is #7 in the UK Official Top 40.

[001steven]

No top 3 :( but it's better the her last 3 singles :) and another top 10

[MarkWaldorf]

20th uk top ten!

[001steven]

That's really good,

Looks like we could be getting a New album blackout style tge guy who write Toy Soldior and Hot as Ice is writing new music for britney and David Guetta is to according to breatheheavy.com I really hope britney does an all dance RnB album 3 could be sign of what her new music will be like.

I hope we get a new album early 2011

[M X]

New sig. Yes, Britney did wear a moustache & top hat at the show in Sydney, Australia on November 17th! :D

[MarkWaldorf]

pmsl why?

[MarkWaldorf]

We all know Christmas is the best time to release a "Best of" CD because Nanas everywhere love an impulse purchase at the Target registers. So in other words, I have no hate directed at Britney for dropping her "Singles" album with only one new track on it.

I guess the reason for this little Brit-riff is that it looks like she is getting ready to drop all new material this spring. According to her record label Jive the singer is eyeing a May release for her seventh studio album, which includes collaborations with Fernando Garibay (Pussycat Dolls "Bottle Pop" and Lady GaGa's "Dance in the Dark"), David Guetta, Danja (Madonna's "4-Minutes"), Sean Garrett (Beyoncé's "Diva" and "Ring the Alarm") and the brilliant Max Martin, who has penned some of her biggest hits ever!

- New York Post

[M X]

Yay! :D

[Sophii3x]

Ooh, May? Better be the 10th.. that's my birthday :P

Bought Circus Fantasy today and it had a cd with KTL and a Circus remix on it! Also got another Curious (my third bottle).. lovee it! :) If I had to rate all the Britney perfume I own I'd say Curious>>Midnight Fantasy>Fantasy>Believe>Hidden Fantasy>>Circus Fantasy

[001steven]

I'M so happy we finally getting a great album don't get me wrong I love circus but Blackout is just pure quality, can not wait blackout 2.0 is what fans want and it looks like we getting it. And A May release is great there's not much out then Christina comes out February I beleive so it gives time for het album to grow, Then britneys in may and you know what new album = Tour we prob won't see a tour though untill early 2011 which is cool.

[M X]

Fans don't want a Blackout 2.0. I want something more like up-tempo songs like Gimme More but more like experimental songs like 'Shadow'.

[M X]

pmsl why?

*Movember (a portmanteau of the words ‘Moustache’ and ‘November’), is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to have been invented in 1999 by group of Australian men from Adelaide.

Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand.*

-ToxicThrill.

[MarkWaldorf]

awww

[Sophii3x]

Got my The Singles Collection CD+DVD edition today. The DVD is crap and so cheapy and I don't see how the songs on the CD are re-mastered. There's no difference at all, meh.

[MrGaryy]

the whole project is ridiculously pointless, she should have just disappeared until her next album.

[Sophii3x]

Yea, seems it was just a way for Jive to make more money from her.

[M X]

the whole project is ridiculously pointless, she should have just disappeared until her next album. .

[001steven]

I'm getting thee box set Monday.

And micheal you may not want a blackout 2.0 but I do and so alt of other fans, blackout is her best album imo, in The zone is another great album. Also I hope Jive Are better with release dates tgis time they were piss poor for Circus, and hope the write tracks are put on the album, circus binus tracks would of made circus better if on the normal eddition. Also her promtion needs to be huge this time again very piss poor for circus only reached NO.4 Even Blackout went NO.2 with no promo.

So that what I want Great Promotion and Heavy Promo = Huge album sales and go no.1 ect

[Red Moon]

the whole project is ridiculously pointless, she should have just disappeared until her next album.

Could she just disappear full stop and sort out her life then come back, learn to sing so she can can combine that with that with her performance skills?

Then she might be worthy of all the fans she has and the acclaim they heap on her.

[M X]

Most fans don't want Blackout 2.0. I love it so much, but it was all about sex & clubs.

[MrGaryy]

I would say most do. I do and I've yet to hear of many who don't tbh.

^to Red, what would be the point in that. She doesn't write her own material anyway nor does she have really anything to do with her music or her voice. Disappearing for a long period of time wouldn't bare much professional benefit seeing as all she has to do between albums is mime on a few TV shows and shoot videos. Personally though it would be great for her, I imagine she will after this album though as her Jive contract will be up. Maybe that's why she's rushing it so, to get out from under them ASAP.

[Red Moon]

The point is she is a human being and not a commodity. She needs to do what is right for her and not what other people want and demand all time.

[M X]

I would say most do. I do and I've yet to hear of many who don't tbh.

A lot on Exhale.

[MrGaryy]

A lot on Exhale.

well over the mainstream of fans and not just those Hurricane messes on Exhale I haven't heard many unexcited by the prospect of a Blackout sounding album.

[001steven]

Well I have and few of my freinds are to,

Do you think she will leave jive? People are saying Warner are interested in her don't know if it's true

[M X]

I'm just saying, that the majority of fans on Exhale, Expose, Planet B everything.. say that they would rather have an album of experimental songs like 'Mannequin', and 'Shadow'.

[001steven]

Yeah of course I would like that to but I think she needs to do a more urban album, but I like anything britney does, just hope jive buck up there shoes and have heavy promo

[M X]

Blackout was pretty urban but I would hate to see Britney working with Chris Brown and The-Dream etc.. that's not her, that's not why we all love her. It's people like Max Martin, Bloodshy & Avant, Darkchild etc.. and could still either be a Blackout 2.0 or a Britney control album! :D

[Barbie]

I loved blackout it was what got me into her stuff, before that Toxic was on similar lines to blackout

Blackout felt different to the rest of Britney's music, very electronica i want to see this stuff from Britney again but at the same time i don't think working with will.i.am, jay-z or chris brown or whatever would work, good artists but i don't think its Britney.

[001steven]

I'm just happy she's workng with Danja and guy who wrote toy soldior and hot as ice,
