I mean, Biden wasn’t wrong. It is REALLY difficult to get a ticket to a Britney concert right now. In fact, I would say it’s the most difficult it has ever been and ever will be. lol

Probably off topic but is anyone familiar with DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ? I was just introduced and a lot of her production is very late 90s/early 2000s. There’s a track called Honey in which I almost stopped everything because I swear it was Britney’s vocals. (around the 2:20 mark). I would love to hear her do something a little left field like this that nods to her early discography.

I know she likes MATM but there were way better singles left on ITZ and it's probably the album with the most wasted potential in her discography.
Boom Boom, Breathe on Me, Shadow...

"Brave New Girl" is the only song that comes to mind as a "bad" single choice from that record, but I'm biased.

I don't mind MATM as a single choice, as I think it's probably the closest musical equivalent to the iconic VMA 2003 kiss, and it's nice to have something like that to mark the time period of one of her biggest moments and career peak. MATM goes well with the evolution of Toxic and Everytime as a career commercial high. It also has some of the best and most underrated choreography in her peak years.
To me the biggest problem with ITZ was the anticlimactic ending. The era didn't have to end the way it did, and part of me wonders if instead of going out on tour she should have just done television specials to promote the record and done more on-air television/promo appearances than a full-scale tour. It feels like the tour sucked out any enthusiasm she had for the project. Once the tour was finished, she seemed happy enough to film My Prerogative, her curious commercials, and Do Somethin' for her greatest hits projects, when she could have just applied that same energy to promoting future ITZ singles.
2004 was just an odd time for Britney.

Didn’t she hurt her leg during the “Outrageous” video shoot and that’s why the era supposedly ended?? That was one of if not my favorite track from “In The Zone”.. I know I’m in the minority here. Personally I would have loved either “The Hook Up, Showdown or I Got That Boom Boom” as a single of they kept going with the era. I was never into “Breathe On Me” like most fans were and someone mentioned “Brave New Girl”….. I think I listened to it once back in the day. That may have been the biggest skip for me on the cd. Well maybe “Shadow”… Everything else on it was basically great for me.

Her book reveals that she hated the Onyx Hotel Tour, it's been a fan understanding that she couldn't stand Outrageous from the beginning, and Jive had to force her to release it. It's a shame because I would say the Onyx Hotel Tour is one of my favorites from her. I always see it as one of her best in both production and in that she gave great performances.

It would've been fun if they were daring and let Showdown, Touch Of My Hand, or Early Mornin be a single. Anything would've been better than Outrageous tho.

I always liked Paris Hilton. Besides for her “fire bush” comment about Lindsay. I always thought she seemed like a nice person.

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.

However, not once did she write about her father being sick at the time. She glossed over a lot of details that I am surprised she did not include (like she didn't mention the lip-syncing allegations at all).

It's "firecrotch" and that is FAR from the worst thing she has been caught on video saying. Racist, ableist, classist, and homophobic shit has also come casually out of her mouth, but she seems to really like Britney?

Keep your foot on his neck! I can only imagine what that second version was. I also do 100% believe he did cry when she beat him in basketball. http://instagram.com/p/C06NJLaNakq

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.

We know it was done by LaChapelle and was much more subversive than what we got. I think there is footage of that version out there.

It was very obvious why her team didn’t want it out there

The original video made the song even better too. The one we got killed it off imo.

My Only Wish (This Year) has surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify. Her 9th song to achieve this. A song from a random ass Christmas compilation from 2000 became a global Christmas staple with zero promo. Your fave could never.

I think the thing that always killed me was using that shot from the Make Me video we got as the album cover...thank God its at least been rectified in recent years but lord my heart sank when the mv and original album cover dropped.
