Default Circus - what a disappointment!!

Okay, Blackout - amazing, In The Zone - loved it, but Circus - what the H*LL were Britney's producers thinking? This was such a disappointment. I was so looking forward to it and am so disappointed. If any not-yet-established singer tried to release this crap as a demo it would soon end up in the trash. It's better than most of the music out there but compared to Britney's usually high standards this is just awful.

Alright, Circus: basically a much worse retelling of Freakshow. So Britney is in the ring and everyone's watching her just like a circus? Wow. Considering Britney doesn't write her own songs you'd sure think she could have better lyrics.

Out From Under, Kill the Lights: Boring, repetitive, didn't have much to offer.

Shattered Glass: Like the other songs on this album, basically the same thing over and over and over and over and over again! Simple lyrics, overused concept, and nothing even poetic about it.

If U Seek Amy: Hahahaha, yeah, you made it sound like **** Me. Excellent. There's our chorus. Now we'll just throw together some nonsensical, unrelated verses about looking for a girl named Amy and wala, we're done.

Unusual You: Besides the fact that this song is basically the same melody over and over, with the same lyics over and over (like all the other songs), the concept is pretty interesting. A little misplaced after "If U Seek Amy" which had exactly the opposite message though.

Blur: Yep, repetitive, but I did like the concept even if it wasn't executed so well. This song has no consistent flow and is too repetitive.

Mmm Papi: Huh? You're hot, you're mommy, that makes me papi? This was a very strange song.

Mannequin: Okay, what was this song even about? While it sounds great, the lyrics offer nothing. It's like someone was half asleep and just wrote whatever popped into his head no matter how random. The lyrics don't make any sense and there's no consistent theme. I get the thing about mannequins not having emotions, no screaming no crying, and how she's keeping that all bottled in - "I'm not doing that" "I don't care" - but the verses don't relate to this theme at all and quite frankly I'm not really sure what they're supposed to relate to.

Lace and Leather: Oh, real classy Britney. I would have preferred Lace and Pleather. I don't know why Britney feels the need to victimize innocent cows in her pursuit of sexual excursions.

What a freaking shame. I've been waiting so long for this album to come out and now that it has it's terrible!

I actually quite like Circus but it's VERY hit and miss. Some are great like Circus and Blur but some are just annoying and repetitive such as Mannequin or Kill The Lights. But I see where your coming from, it wasn't has consistently great as Blackout.

The one real positive is that she has seemed to have layed off the autotune a little.

She does write her own lyrics. She was heavily involved in the writing and executing of the album.

Just because a song is placed after another song with two completely different meanings, doesn't mean it's stupid?

Eh.. Blackout -
track #8 - Toy Soldier
track #9 - Hot as Ice



Also, "So Britney is in the ring and everyone's watching her just like a circus? Wow. Considering Britney doesn't write her own songs you'd sure think she could have better lyrics." - what the actual flip? that's the point of the song........ and I suppose just because you don't like the lyrics, it means their ****. Okkkk mate.

If you also listened to the song PROPERLY, instead of slating it when you can't even get the words right..

Mmm Papi: Huh? You're hot, you're mommy, that makes me papi? This was a very strange song.
She actually says; "I'm mommy and that makes you papi and that makes us lavi." So get it right before you go criticising her lyrics.

The woman who wrote that song with Britney stated the lyrics are nonsense and are meant to resemble some other jingle that sounds the same.

Okay, you have a point, the songs except for their repetitiveness do sound great; my issue was mainly with the lyrics. They aren't exactly Shakespeare or up to par with Blackout and In The Zone.

Never heard Phonography for some reason... was that a bonus track?

Interesting opinion you have there, I don't think it's a bad album but I respect your opinion as others should.
