The Circus album could have also done with some better mixing. A lot of the songs on there just don't seem mastered tbh. Especially "If U Seek Amy"; which I replaced with the single version from the Singles Collection because they mastered it differently for it. I though the original mastering was fine and part of why I think 'Amy' works so damn well. It was outrageous, over the top, sometimes collected, sometimes alarming. Fuck the album-- that song was an audible circus. It managed to take every angle, cram it together, and somehow make it work. I'll never get the hype for 'Out From Under' though. That needed to stay an album track.

And? With s**t vocals and a bum knee the bitch is still worth $220 million. Who are you? Yall need to take a chill pill, im a fan of Britney, my point was that the leaked alien vocals are probably her, because she never sounded good live. Doesnt make a difference to me. I listen to the records, funny how people take a point and get it twisted and start getting all defensive and s**t. Im out. Funny how people are wondering about the authenticity of the alien vocals, believe me they are Britney and for her actually not too bad. She could never sing.. this is what she sounds like live.. i dont think she was ever allowed to sing live again after this show and you cant blame her management, she cannot sing live!! I think your point was that "she could never & cannot sing live." Correct? Criminal simply wants you to take a trip down memory lane and revisit those live vocals that he mentioned with both an open mind & ears.

Technically it was Criminal who brought up her vocal highlights. I was the one who took a trip to the bank with her net value ;)

Hmm, well I mean like on "Amy" on the actual CD that one track sounds actually lower than the rest of the tracks. Like when I put the CD in my car "Amy" is the one that sounds muddled. But yes the song is TOO perfect, especially the final chorus with the ad-libs and the over the top production it was everything.

I never had that problem? Odd. Did you buy the Standard or Deluxe? Deluxe was fine.

4. If U Seek Amy (sexier video, better choreo, maybe more colors to pop out because the song is just very poppy) No, IUSA is Britney's best video ever, it's just genius. Too bad people didn't get it.

I prefer the Circus album to either Femme Fatale or Britney Jean (duh on the last one). Plus I think IUSA she appears the most "Britney of old", in any of her videos post 2004 (Work Bitch aside).

I'd throw 'Womanizer' a bone as well. 'If U Seek Amy' got serviced one hell of a clip though, even if a lot can be said of the editing. Truly an underrated masterpiece.

The concept is cool but the video looks grainy and I don't like the way it was filmed or edited. Britney looks fucking amazing tho.

Britney looks f**king amazing tho. The grainy quality was intentional, to give it kind of a found footage look. It was actually a precursor to the soft grunge aesthetic that Sky Ferreira and other "forward-thinking" acts sampled from visually last year. If anything, she was half a decade ahead of her time with that one. Legend. :'(

Or release her next album as a Starbucks exclusive.
Is that her name on the cup? Funny if she uses her real name when ordering.

Well, Holy shit.....Joseph Kahn just confirmed that this, barring some slight changes, was the original edit of "Perfume":
There's also an alleged screenshot of the original video on BH. JK only said that the image didn't come from him but never denied that it's the original shot.

Rihanna did the whole gun thing in 'Man Down'. Not sure why it would be any more controversial with Britney doing something with a gun involved.

I really have to wonder what happened that caused them to make such a dramatic change in the storyline for "Perfume" video. The video concept has to make it past the storyboard stage and usually a lot of the specifics are planned well before they even start shooting. I'm really frustrated at her team at times like this. They need to stick to what they do best and handle the business side of things and let the writers, producers, and directors deal with the creative aspects of her career.
First we learned that that the album could have had better songs that fit closer to the concept that was advertised, now we learned one of her most uneventful music videos really did have a more interesting concept. This era is just one disappointment after another. Is her team purposely trying to make this era as boring as possible?
On the plus side, she looks great in that pic.

That picture is far better than any of the Mya Jean shots.
