Off to see britney tonight! :D excited!

Britney was amazing last night <3 Loved every moment of it. Jedward were there too and they got on stage with Britney for I Wanna Go! They were funny! I had a great time. Joe Jonas was good too. I may upload pics but they are not the best quality. :( But it was a great time anyway!

My cousin went to see her and said she was unreal :)

Alan Carr returns to Channel 4 with a brand new six week series of Alan Carr: Chatty Man starting this Sunday (30th October) at the new time of 10:00pm. Joining him for the opening show are Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Nicole Scherzinger, and the winner of the X Factor, Matt Cardle, who will be singing as well. Other guests confirmed for the series are Lee Evans, Britney Spears, Ricky Gervais, Lady Gaga and Peter Kay.

Hope it's true, it'd be so funny

Would be great to see her on that although I'm not getting my hopes up after the Chris Moyles Quiz Night promo.

In other news it's Blackouts fifth anniversary today. Some facts:

Quote:

* Blackout was set to debut at the top of the Billboard 200, but debuted at number two due to a last-minute rule change.

* Blackout sold 124,000 copies during its FIRST DAY of availability in the United States and sold overall 290,000 copies in it’s first week of release.

* By the end of 2008, Blackout had sold 3.1 million copies worldwide.

* By 2011 the album has sold +4 million copies worldwide.

* Blackout has appeared on reader polls by Billboard and Rolling Stone, while The Times named it as the fifth best pop album of the decade. In 2010, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called Blackout “the most influential album of the past five years.”

* Gimme More reaches #3 on BB100, her highest peak of single since Baby One More Time

* All 3 singles reach #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play

* Album reaches Top #10 in 18 countries.

* Blackout won International Album of the Year at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards, and Album of the Year at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards.

* While reviewing Spears’ demo of “Telephone” Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone compared it to “Piece of Me”, “proving yet again how much impact Britney has had on the sonics of current pop. People love to make fun of Britney, and why not, but if ‘Telephone’ proves anything, it’s that Blackout may be the most influential pop album of the past five years.”

* Piece Of Me wins 3 MTV VMA awards and gives Britney one of the biggest comebacks in music to date!

It's tragic that it sold so little considering it's her best album

Blackout is my fave Britney album, quite underrated really.

Britney on Alan Carr? God, that sounds awful. It's always very awkward when he interviews Americans for some reason. Think Lindsay Lohan and Jennifer Lopez, had to watch through my hands.

Most fans agree that it's her best album but it's often forgotten about because it didn't sell much.

Good to see her looking really happy

The Box are finally playing Criminal, 2 weeks late but meh at least they're acknowledging it at last.

Britney was scheduled to appear on Alan Carr this month but her appearance has been cancelled. She will be on a magazine cover instead. /lazy

Inside Out HAS to be the fifth single, that's if we get one. I realise now it probably should have been the fourth single, Criminal is really underperforming on radio where as Inside Out is extremely radio friendly.

Yeah, I agree, IO is my favourite and it's radio friendly.

Gasoline >>>

also, even if it is under performing, the video is by far one of her best

I like Gasoline, it could easily fit on In the Zone and it's sort of like a slower version of Toxic but I couldn't see it being a hit. I think Criminal's underperformance has shown that Britney is unlikely to get a hit with a slow tempo song again, if the label want another hit from the album they have to release Inside Out but I think they're sadly pushing for (Drop Dead) Beautiful.

I love Drop Dead Beautiful! or He About To Lose Me

don't know if anyone has seen this, but its ****ing amazing

Youtube video

The Epix Premier is today! There is a link which is streaming it but it is just way to low HQ

1 hour to go! If I find a stream I will post it.

I'm too tired to stay up to watch it. Will just torrent it later in the week. I've seen most of the performances on YouTube and I hate how they've dubbed the audio. :bored:

Rumour has it that Gasoline will be the fifth single from Femme Fatale. Bad decision IMO, I can't see it doing well on radio.
