She looks a lot better lately. Not physically per se, but like, I can see a little spark in her eyes again.
I hope she has a nice Xmas.

I just picked up the Glory vinyl from Target and my boyfriend surprised me with the Blackout vinyl for Christmas. Needless to say, Merry Britmas to me!
That got me thinking though… I’d love to get The Essential Britney Spears on vinyl at some point. I’ve seen other artists have their “Essential” collections issued on vinyl, and I would think Brinny’s would be relatively successful.
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative was so early in her career that it doesn’t have any of her later hits.

A GH so early in her career was such a serve.

LISA (of BLACKPINK) covered "My Only Wish (This Year)". The track isn't available on DSPs as of now, so it could give a nice boost to the original version.

Does she mention Domination at all in the book? It was canceled due to Jamie getting sick. At least that’s the message her team was pushing. She has mentioned the Domination rehearsals in passing a ton, I always assume what we heard from her court testimony, was pretty much her talking about the rehearsals for that residency. So we sort of know what was happening through that entire time period. It was a hostage situation of her not wanting to do it, not wanting to announce it, being forced into rehearsals, her trying to inform the choreography, and her people telling her she couldn't do things until her family got tired of arguing with her and sent her into rehab facilities to make her behave. I would say Jamie being sick was just a cover so no one would question her disappearances. Has anyone even seen these two play basketball, because if you have (since there is footage of both playing), you should genuinely question her beating him in basketball. Britney played point guard for years as a high schooler, arguably the most important position in the game. It's not surprising that she would have better sportsmanship than Justin, considering she would have had to lead offensive plays, manage the ball, and strategize with the team to move through defensive plays to get points. Justin has never had any experiences in high school to compare. It wouldn't be surprising if she did play better than him. I'm happy for her streaming placements it looks like the book did a good job in bringing her back to people's minds. I hope there's some way for her to capitalize on this moment at some point. Her streaming is strong for someone who hasn't released music in 7-8 years.

As I said already Daenerys - there is footage of both playing. But sure, you just keep on buying whatever narrative Britney is selling.

I'll believe it when my hands are pulling the rose colored vinyl out of the sleeve with another 2001 photo of her.

Began the year by reading this. Yeah, safe to say her sister is absolute trash and I don’t think I’ll bother with a Timberlake song for a long time now (seriously fuck his ass). I think it’s just fascinating seeing this gossip figure I used to hear about all the time as a child, and seeing what happened behind those days. But also, lord, it’s devastating to the crap she was put through. Her parents are also pure trash.

Honestly I totally get why she’s not returning. When she came in the industry she had the passion and fire but once the conservatorship happened she was forced to perform and ultimately lost that passion and confidence she once had..

I’m happy she’s free and support her decision but….I can’t lie and say that it doesn’t make me sad. I miss Britney the artist and all the news/rumours got me excited for a new album.
Who is she ghost writing for though ? I need to know.

Britney is too much a icon and legend to never release anything else. On her own terms and time she needs to have her comeback and make people eat their words.
However I wish her the best and her music is always going to be available to listen to and play. Nobody will erase blackout for example so.

Sounds like they’re trying to force convince her to make music….

Just reading between the lines with so many people “presenting” stuff for her, it makes it seem like she probably does have some sort of contractual obligation to fulfill. But considering everything that happened, it wouldn’t surprise me if Rosengart was working to get her out of it, if indeed she has no plans to return to her own music. I don’t know anything about contracts, but If RCA was to try to make her do anything, the trouble it would cause may not seem worth it to them.

I hope she realizes that she can put stuff out now on her own accord. She's completely free to put out whatever she wants, however she wants, and with her full direction. Maybe she still doesn't want to with that in mind, but I really think she'll eventually get that spark back and then realize that she can do what she wants with it and not be beholden to anyone else's direction.

Who is she ghost writing for though ? I need to know. Selena Gomez was my first thought. At the least, I expect some of those songs to have made their way to her.

The more I think about it zero chance Britney never makes new material.
That artistic itch is gonna itch. The fact she even ghostwriter is sign she feels that itch.
She is scared of giving up her privacy and being in the spotlight again
If Mariah got husband/bf/gay lover stealer Grande to come out of hiding and perform live again she can get Britney on a record on MC16 or some Xmas project

Britney is impulsive and reactive. At this point I’d take anything she says about her career with a grain of salt.
Elton had to beg her to release “Hold Me Closer” because she was scared of returning to music. We’re not entitled to anything, but producers encouraging her to do so isn’t inherently malicious. If there was one takeaway from her book, it’s that she hates the spotlight, not the art.

It wouldn't surprise me if she winds up making an album and releasing it in the next year, some time in 2025. This is the same thing that ended up happening with the book. Everyone kept saying that it wasn't happening, until it was, and everyone was caught off guard because no one believed the rumor drops.
I'm not surprised that RCA is trying to get her to record, they want to cash in on the interest that's been generated by the Woman in Me before it dissipates.
I wish we knew her ghost writing name, as that would give us the best sense of where her sound is looking to go for her next album. There were rumors that she passed on Unholy and Padam. I would love to hear something in the vein of Twigs or Kesha's most recent stuff from her.
Happy 25th Anniversary to ...Baby One More Time. The merch is on her website.
