This. They're surely just not releasing it because they want to release it on a weaker week so that it charts higher?

Clearly the rest of the world is loving it, as if it was truely "****ing terrible" it wouldn't have risen to #1 in 17 countries in less than 24 hours of release. Jealous ass haters. Sad their favorite artist looks like a flop in comparison to Queen Britney. Bitch is snatching weaves and taking names. People say there is no competitoin as an excuse for her doing well, which is not true at all. Both Kanye West & Jay-Z + Avril Lavigne (massively popular aritsts here in America) released new singles the same day and Britney is still slaying them in sales. Not to mention shes beat out Katy Perry's Firework and Bruno Mars' Grenade which are currently at their peak right now (well, not anymore :P). Haters gonna hate, but no one can take away the fact that this song is a smash. Love it or hate it. Most people love it....and if you don't like it then you're severely outnumbered sry2say Britney's been around for 12 years and is hitting 30, yet she is still beating out the young girls like Katy, Rihanna, and Gaga. Her time definitely is not up, and it won't be for awhile. Too bad you can't say the same for Floptina Aguilera.... ALSO - Good news for UK fans, the single release has been pushed up to January 17th. It will come out the same day as her Glee episode.

It's just the fact it's Britney, I doubt it'd matter what she'd release it'd still do well, nothing to do with the quality of the music

She has lots of fans, yes, but that doesn't mean the song is any good. It's generic dance crap that fills a hole for generic dance crap. Why do people insist on putting forward jealousy as a legitimate argument for why someone's opinion is that something is crap? Can people not think something is terrible now without having an ulterior motive for saying so? Her fans love it, and there are lots of her fans - but that's not a majority of music lovers, no way. Just watch as Britney Spears disappears over the next few years. You make a point about Christina Aguilera flopping - why do you think that is? And think about it, Christina Aguilera has a fantastic voice but can't keep on top of her game - Britney Spears relies on everything but singing, and it won't be long before all of those things begin to fade away from her, as you said, she's hitting 30... Don't be so deluded. Accept that you like the song and others don't - why bother trying to justify the song's credibility with facts and figures from Britney's career or comparing her to other artists - that reeks of desperation and says far more about how generic the song is than anything else.

Firstly the reason the song uses less [but still a **** load more than any 'singer' should have to use] is because if you haven't noticed, the only part of the song she actually sings is the chorus which is the most heavily vocoded part of the song. The rest is basically spoken. considering Avril Lavigne hasn't had a hit in 3 years, she's hardly relevant competition in ALL fairness. As for comparing her to Christina Aguilera, please, Britney can rack up those generic dance floor hits all she likes, Christina is busy promoting her Golden Globe nominated film and song and preparing to sing on the most watched televised event of the entire year, the Super Bowl. on a note entirely separate to this quote, she would have to be really, really dumb to perform on the BRITs, I mean please, she would show herself up tremendously.

People try to use autotune as an excuse for any time her vocals sound decent which is not at all the case. Just look at this video of her recording Womanizer. It hardly sounds different from the actual recording just without backing vocals and less polished. It's not like she's singing out of tune and they need to fix it... And the lines of HIAM are HARDLY spoken, what a lame thing to say. Obviously if you actually listened to the song you would realize that she's singing. Just because she's not belting it out doesn't mean she's not singing :/ 2. Avril hasn't had a hit in 3 years because she hasn't released music in 3 years. This is supposed to be her comeback. 3. LOL, I'm talking about Christina's success as an artist and singer. Cool, she put out a good movie! But her album and singles FLOPPED miserably. She spent years working on a comeback and it sucked, face the facts. She's lost all relevance in today's music scene. She TRIED to rack up a generic dance song with 'Not Myself Tonight' and look like a desperate ***** trying to look like Gaga in her video, but of course, she flopped.

People thought Britney was done 4 years ago. She was at the lowest and darkest point in her life ever, with most of the public against her and thinking she was a joke, but she came back and tore up the charts with consecutive #1 first singles and #1 albums and won back the hearts of everyone. Not to mention she had the highest grossing tour of 2009 and the 5th highest grossing female tour of all time that same year. Her success is showing no signs of slowing down...

I don't see how it's a 'lame' thing to say, the verses are more or less spoken [hey over there, ect.], i mean really you couldn't call that singing, anyone could do it. The only other vocals apart from the robotic chorus are on the bridge which is just one spoken line and a flop attempt at 'dubstep' [gotta love the stans trying to make out she's some revolutionary dubstep artist now]. also, the Telephone demo is Britney with A WHOLEEEEE LOT of autotune. just because Womanizer, 3, HIAM et al. don't sound that that doesn't mean they aren't generously making use of the autotune tool.

I beg to differ that Hold It Against Me has no chance of becoming a Britney classic, especially if it is widely successful, but we'll see. It's YOUR opinion that it's a generic dance song, it doesn't make it a fact. It's certainly less generic than any other song on pop radio right now in America. Hah, but the thing is she never MADE a career out of infamous behavior. Everyone knows she was an international pop superstar before her breakdown. She rose, then fell, then rose back up again. It's not like she's famous and popular because of what happens in the media. If anything those negative stories hurt her image way more than help it. The point is, she came back from an extremely dark place in her life and people were endeared to that, that she was able to finally pull herself together and get back up again. I'm rivaling the fact that you think it's generic dance crap, because I disagree, and I'm letting you know WHY I disagree and why I think it's not.

Robotic chorus? LOL, okay. Another description from you that doesn't at all match the actual song. Choose your words wisely. No one is saying she's a "revolutionary dubstep artist", people are praising the fact that she's the first pop artist to truely bring dubstep to American radio and experiment with it, and take a chance in doing so. Sure, I wouldn't doubt there's very minimal autotune here or there in certain parts, but that's exactly the same for any pop artist out there :/ It's not like she relies on autotune in order to produce decent vocals.

Lindsay Lohan didn't make a career out of a drug addiction, but that aspect of her life has come to define her and has kept her famous. Britney Spears' career's been prolonged purely because she went mad just as her career was stalling. The hype will disappear in a couple of years, just like it did before. On the contrary, I would say that she IS famous because of the media - they like to make and break people. I wouldn't say people were endeared to her, I think people were more fascinated by her trainwreck performance at the VMAs for example than rooting her on... She spent a few years turning herself into a complete joke and has brushed it under the carpet by being outrageous in her songs. Avril Lavigne's been misfiring for years, and a Kanye West/Jay Z collaboration is hardly the most inspiring opposition to a dance track. The song, as I said, fills a hole, because the dance track niche has been lacking somewhat in new material for a while. Firework's been out for ages, I don't know about Grenade, but it's hardly strong competition anymore. Britney Spears has released it at a time when not much else in the way of competition is releasing, that's why it's doing SO well - if she released it up against other pop heavyweights then I doubt it'd grab #1 in many places. I think the song's good for what it is, I just find it a bit of a joke that people such as yourself are throwing all this irrelevant information about her previous successes around like they have any impact on her new song... |

I'm not jealous of her. And no, my favourite artists have been much better than her. Elvis and Daft Punk own the hell out of her.

HOLD UP.
Whoever brought Christina into this is ridiculous. Christina's album had a lot more input than Britney will ever have in her own, she can sing, and just because she flopped doesn't mean her music's worse. Bob The Builder got a number #1 single, does it make him better than Green Day, who've never had a UK #1? Christina might have flopped but at least she can be called an artist, a musician, and a singer. Something Britney will never be. She's a puppet, she'll be given a couple of catchy dance tunes, change a word here and there to gain a writing credit, lipsynch a couple of performances whilst strutting and flicking her hair and her OTT fanbase will label her Godney whilst the first single is massive, then retire back to their caves as she starts to flop later in the era [see: Blackout & Circus singles ] Britney's only successful because of who she is, not what she does. Anyone could put their vocals on the track (Bonnie McKee sounds fantastic on the demo, and this song would definitely suit someone like Katy Perry or particularly Ke$ha), and it wouldn't change. She doesn't bring anything to the table apart from her name/brand.
