I really love the subtexts of the performances!

I actually liked the album lol.

I suppose I stopped being a fan after Oops...I did it again, and so I've been quite casual after that.

So iunno, I wasn't expecting that much :-p

Is she planning to release anymore singles for Britney Jeans? I really want a music video for Alien.

I think the official audio release on VEVO of 'It Should Be Easy (feat. will.i.am)' and 'Now That I Found You' are serving as basis to see which song has more popularity among her audience. One of them may be Britney Jean's third single.

^ I hope not. Don't like either one of the songs.

It Should Be Easy has that really sexy instrumental break so...

Britney Jean - billboard 200 (USA)




Britney Jean - ORICON STYLE (JPN)


Looks like the album didn't chart in USA this week.. It didn't chart in Japan either.

It Should Be Easy? oh, you mean It Should Be Pig Shit.

Britney really flopped with this album eh? It was ineed boring though... The only good track was Til It's Gone. She doesn't sing anything save for Alien from the new album in her present show (probably because they knew how it would fare). Personal album but not interesting at all, at least she could have made it so. I hope the next one is more like Famme Fatal which was awesome.

So she is not a million seller anymore I presume?

I hate how she kept calling it her most personal album when the only personal songs were Alien, Perfume, Chillin' With You, and Don't Cry. Everything is standard will.i.am fare.

William Orbit should have done more tracks or just been main producer. The album would have been gorgeous.

+1,000

Britney Jean - billboard 200 (USA)



13th Week
Position: Out of Top 200
Copies: 2,000
Total: 241,000

@Ayumisral
Her present show is a biggest hits show, of course she won't sing the whole album, pretty much like Ayu didn't sung anything from Love Again during AT13. Still, Alien, Work Bitch and Perfume are on the setlist.

@NintendoHTF1242
Work Bitch is about her career... If wanna be where Britney is, you have to work as much as her. It's a trendy subject on pop music (Give me all your luvin' and Flawless** deal with similar subjects).

Body Ache is about performing, not about clubbing... About dancing on stage until her body aches to entertain her public... What actually makes a lot of sense considering her knee injury. The music even ends on a rather sad mood.

It should be Easy and Till it's Gone are both break up songs... Pop music have plenty of those, and we can't really know how personal they are... Tik Tik Boom is the standart sex song.

All the 3 bonus tracks deal with her relationship with religion.

Is the album as personal as Ayu stuff? Nops. But it's as personal as a Britney album can be...

Thank you. Guess I was too busy trying to find ayu-esque personal but guess this will do.

I don't know, how true it is, but she said that they'll include more songs from Britney Jean later on. But she could also be lying. Remember how her manager was emphasising that she would sing all the songs live at those concerts and how she had a vocal coach to train her to sing and dance at the same time, but from what I've heard she's lip synching all the songs on her Las Vegas shows, even the ballads.

recently she failed her lip sync on Alien performance, awkward..

^You'd think after mastering the art of lip syncing for the last 15 years we wouldn't have to witness her mess up like that. Oh well.

My favorite songs on the album are tik tik boom, and alien, I think they both need to be singles. I have had ttb on repeat for the last week. I just wish it wasn't so short.

My favourite songs from BJ are : Alien, Till It's Gone, Brightest Morning Star and Hold on Tight (my favourite). I also like Passenger, Now That I Found You and Perfume (The Dreaming Mix).

Britney Jean - ORICON STYLE (JPN)


13th Week
Position: #296
Copies: 309
Total: 24,328

it was able to chart in Japan this week :)

You guys still remember isthisLOL? ? I requested a Blackout review and he was so kind to do one for me: http://day1day2day3.wordpress.com/20...ears-blackout/

Maybe you guys are interested? That's his new blog by the way and he will post every day one album review. I think it's a very nice idea!

Does he still visit AHS, or was he banned? I like his opinions and views but I just noticed he doesn't post anymore lol

He was banned. Actually the mods said he just shouldn't be able to post for a while, but they never unbanned him as far as I know.
I find it questionable to ban someone like him for making a little bit trouble here and there but let other people post their racist/homophobic/sexist stuff all the time.

But I think he would be happy to know that there are still people around who liked his opnions and views and maybe some of you will follow his blog?

At his old one he posted also a Britney Jean (http://boldlydelicious.com/2013/12/1...y-jean-review/) review and one of the Perfume video (http://boldlydelicious.com/2013/12/1...g-back-simple/).

I like his Britney Jean review and it shows that Britney Jean isn't the shit people like to pretend it is.

I'm not a real fan of Britney, but I usually like some of her singles.
Is there going to be a 3rd single from this personal album ?


I don't like Work B!tch and Perfume is boring.

Oh come on! Work Bitch is such an awesome song to work out to. You gotta try it. lol :D

Danja: "Will.i.am Changed The Direction Of Britney Jean"



will.i.am is a name to talk about. Thankfully Miley didn't chose him to lead the executive production of Bangerz, because even though he worked on "Do My Thang", it's still a great song, same thing about "Fashion" (and I think Artpop would've sounded more audible if he had produced more tracks than just one). Williams can produce good songs (not everytime), but in a room with three or four people, but it seems that Britney let he take over the whole thing about Britney Jean, and that was when the album started to fall apart in my opinion.

Britney Jean isn't really that bad tbh... It's just... Just another Britney Spears album~ (At least there's less auto-tune than usual)

^^
Interesting.
I actually don't mind some of will.i.am. stuff. It's just that everytime she does something with Britney, it's something I hate.
They just don't work together for me.

The problem is Britney Jean (the album), because he did a good job with Femme Fatale and #willpower is also not that bad, I really don't know why he messed up things this time :@

Because messing things up is what will.i.am is good at. BEP's The END was great... look what he did to The Beginning. It's the same issue with most of his work. He thinks his ideas are gold but they only have a shelf life of a few songs before EVERYONE is ultimately sick of hearing him.

Have you guys listened to this?

^That one is great! Like it a lot more than the album version (not that the album version would be bad).

nice =)

I still haven't given Britney Jean a real listen. I just can't do it.

Also, very intersting that her "most personal" album would be the one to flop. But, I think that speaks to what people want and expect from Britney: manufactured pop crap. I loved Blackout and Femme Fatal because they are dancey, sexy and fun. I listen to Britney when I wanna shake dat ass, not cry.

Nice.

I don't know, I don't mind Britney slower pieces, and some of them are masterpieces (like Everytime), and it's not like Britney Jean is full of ballads or insightful songs. Quite the opposite, actually.
I think it's flopping because 1) Britney image is not appealing anymore, her era is kinda over and 2) I honestly believe it's such a "meh" cd.

Both points are very true, but I think they could have been overcome if she had done what she does best. Let other people reinvent her pop icon diva look. Done yet another "comeback" album. As someone who hasn't really listened to the album, just going off of what I've read about the purpose of the album, it seemed that they were striving to make this album less diva and more... girl next door? From the name they choose, the cover of the album, etc., I think the marketing killed it. Because the album's music could actually be far from that, and be full of ass poppin' hits. But, I wouldn't know that because I don't want to bother to listen to it, based on what I simply think about the album.

Simply comparing name and the covers of the albums Britney Jean and Femme Fatal, just from those two things alone, FF seems like its a lot more fun.

But, that's just how I view it.

^
Yeah, that's the point. Some singers have to reinvent themselves, like Madonna or Katy Perry. For other, this formula don't work, they have to do what they're known for, like J-Lo or Celine Dion, or Brit-Brit. They can experiment, but they need to be extremely careful doing so... They're not very versatile, they have a sound, they're very good at it and they can play with it.
And, anyway, it's not like Britney Jean is experimental. Far from it. I just found it a watered version of what she usually delivers, with few exceptions.
You're right, I think the album could have used a normal promotion, instead of this "more personal Britney cd evah" marketing strategy. Maybe it set our expectations on something different and that's why a lot of us are so disappointed. Because, in the end, Britney Jean is not even that terrible. Just... "mheeeee".

I guess the main problem revolving this album is will.i.am, his production on Britney Jean sounds saturated, Brithey should have tried In The Zone producers once again, I call that album her masterpiece :heart

Yup! You got what I was trying to say exactly!! Just in less words and much more clearly XD

Britney Jean isn't personal. Just some bullshit marketing strategy by her team, she couldnt care less for this album.

Finally someone said it.

William Orbit, who largely criticized will.i.am for the executive production of Britney Jean, released on his own a remix for Alien. He used the Beautiful Stranger (Ray of Light - Madonna) sample for the remix.

^
So nice.
Now I'm sobbing at all Britney Jean could have been. I like the original version of Alien, but this remix is so adorable.

the new version of Alien sounds nice!

That mix sounds awful tbh lol but William Orbit shoulda been main producer for the album. will.i.am made such a shit-pile.

I'm going to be in Las Vegas from July 13th-July 19th. I really wish I could go to the piece of me show. Too bad it's sold out til August.

I wonder if she will continue to release any singles from this album...

I don't think so. But I would love to see "Til It's Gone" or "Body Ache" become singles.


A few days ago Britney posted this on facebook: http://www.intimatebritneyspears.com/
I just signed up and I'm curious what exactly will come.

^love that pic! I sooo want to see her Vegas Show... but I guess that won't happen y___y

http://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwar...ory-lost-album

I would have loved to know what Original Doll would have been like.

^Very interesting article.

That's so cool and sweet from Brit!

Love that article!

Yesterday was Britney Day in Vegas: https://m.facebook.com/home.php?soft...pe=1&source=48

She looks amazing!

i hope she does something new soon.
Britney Jean didnt do it for me.

These western pop artists take too long to release something new. And most of them release half filler after 2-4 years, like wtf X_X

Isn't she doing that Vegas residency thing? Don't think she will be releasing anything anytime soon :(

if celine and cher can do it, then Britney Bitch can do it! :D

Actually, she is already working on her new album...

:yes She posted a pic of her in the studio a while ago.

She also confirmed it... There's no executive producer announced, so, I guess she will have more creative control over this one.

Considering the last times she had creative control over her albums we got Blackout and In The Zone, that's good!

I would give anything for will.i.am to NOT be on this upcoming album

^ He most likely won't.

I'm very curious which direction this album will take. Maybe we will get it around March next year?

Happy Birthday BritBrit! ♡

Happy ~2 days later~ birthday Britney!

Awww, I was hoping from the URL it'd say "Britney to release new album early next year"

LULZ wishful thinking

Not a fan of Iggy Azalea though, so I'll pass :(

Same lol I'm already over this collab

Iggy is da best

I love Iggy. I can't wait for this.

IGGY♥

I'm not a fan of Iggy Azelea, but I really love her song "My World". I hope this turns out well

Look who just watched Piece Of Me Show:
https://m.facebook.com/home.php#!/Yo...pe=1&source=46

http://m.billboard.com/articles/maga...lbum-exclusive

We will have to wait a while for a new album.

F..k, not a good news.

Britney always takes forever to release an album. I have come to expect at least 5 years between just so that I'm not disappointed in her release schedule. Lol.

Besides, they are probably still trying to figure out how to do some damage control and recover from the atrocious Britney Jean.

;___; Britney Jean was so tragic.

Loved that post:
https://www.facebook.com/britneyspea...type=1&theater

^ LOL! That's good philosophy!

Yaas queen, time to change the meaning of the word bitch!
You wanna hot body? Better werk bitch!

I found that "Bitch" thing to be so overdone. "I'm a bitch and proud!", blah blah. Actually, a bitch is a female dog. Britney's team is just riding the coattails of the "Its Britney, bitch!" intro and people trying to make the word "bitch" a positive.

^I don't think that was the intention if the post.
I love the post because as a woman it doesn't matter what you do, you're a bitch.
• you're dressed "too sexual"? - bitch!
• you're dressed "too conservative"? - bitch!
• you're telling your mind? - bitch!
• you're not really open with your feelings? - bitch!
Same goes for the german equivalent "Schlampe". I mean, look at how often people here at ahs call women a bitch, just because they don't like a new song, album, PV, the list goes on.
The post isn't really about making bitch a positive one. It's more saying "you don't like that I'm saying what I'm thinking and doing what I want and therefore calling me bitch? Well I know I'm strong and emancipated, deal with it".
At least that's what I thought when I read that post.

^ I agree.

Anyway her new single Pretty Girls (ft Iggy Azalea) will be out in May 5! She's shooting the video soon. :luv2

Whenever the word "bitch" is used, least in my circles, its just to someone who is being rude. Male or female. What that "bitchology" thing described was a confident, strong and mature woman. Not a bitch.

But most of the time bitch is being used to especially disregard women. That's what that bitchology thing was referring to. =)

Again, I don't really see anyone going around calling confident, mind speaking women bitches unless they are being really rude. Just my experience.

Britney just shot the music video for Pretty Girls together with Iggy. Seems to be visually 80's influenced!

The video seems cute, with pink water, a carwash, a dance scene with only boys and Britney. I can't wait!

Britney and Iggy will perform Pretty Girls at the Billboard Music Awards.

I can't wait!!!

I'm really curious for this song!!!

http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/bri...-pretty-girls/


The stream is at the bottom of the article
I like it but nothing beats work bitch. I quote that song to this day. Just ask all my friends how many times I've asked if they wanted a Bugatti, Maserati, hot body, etc. They better werk, bitch!

I like it just for the fact that it's "something urban and cool" as Brit probably would describe it lol I was getting tired of her dance tracks so if this is what I can expect with her album, I'm all for it. Give me some Urban-ey Spears this era <3

That was awful lol

No! y_y it has been removed.

It's horrible. How can you even call it a full track? Lol. It's more like a jingle. Can't believe it got a video and everything. Thinking about all the "work" that went into this song and it's such a throwaway. How in the Hell can you be proud of something like this? It's SO stupid.

Mh? When I tried to listen to it, they told me it was removed... Can you guys still listen to it?

I had to search google and sort by "posted within the last hour" and weed through link after link before I found one.
