It’s tomorrow! What are we waiting for??

That's a good question. I hope it wasn't an announcement of an announcement.

[It's me, bitch.]

I thought the same thing plus I’m wondering why on a Tuesday and not Friday?

I hate everyone. LOL

[HamedM1 💔]

They really milking unused Britney era photos for this and the book aren't they lol. She's still beautiful I don't get why they can't just use a new photo.

[schnetzka]

At this point, I'm surprised they didn't just take a photo from her Instagram because she gives plenty of material on it.

[think pink.]

Embarrassing.

[ampersand]

I don't have high hopes for this. Has Britney even acknowledged this song is coming out?

[It's me, bitch.]

Whose body did they put her head on?!?

[Choco]

Probably no one's. The image is most likely generared by AI.

The will picture is also old. They just fed some AI with a couple of old pics.

[Koochie]

I laughed out loud omg

[upsidedown]

The sad thing is the photo would be really cool if it was just a new photo of her.

[carriefan15]

Ya’ll need to Mind Your Business. She can use whatever pic she wants 😂😂

[Love Plastic Love]

The low effort of using a leftover from 10 years ago and photos that are 20 years old AIed into a new picture is obnoxious, but I am still hoping that Britney pulls out something as catchy as Scream and Shout with this.

Lower your expectation as low as you can, please. :'(:'(:'( S&S was iconic. This is just not it.

I saw "Once Upon A One More Time" on Broadway last night and loved it. Aside from how well they adapted the songs to stage (KILLER arrangements and band), it was legitimately funny from top to bottom. Most of the cast (aside from the lead woman, sorry girl) was incredible. Justin Guarini really carries that show and was absolutely electric. Just leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else in the cast (with maybe the exception of the Evil Step Mother who got a standing ovation for her take on "Toxic" which was an absolute show stopper). I do hope they make it, but for the size of the theatre there were noticeably a lot of empty seats which does not bode well.

Good to see as of today that it doesn't look like Broadway will be shutting down because of the teamsters strike. That would certainly be the nail in the coffin. They've only been on for about a month so there's still time, but they need word of mouth to keep this thing going.

Go see it if you're in NYC. It's 2.5 hours (including a 15 minute intermission), but goes by in the blink of an eye!

I loved “Scream And Shout” so hopefully it will be just as good.
It does sound dated I guess, hopefully it will be in a good way after we hear the full song.

Omg just heard it and it was…. A mess
It sounds like something they recorded long time ago and decided to release now..

Glad to see some praise for S&S. It's a fun bop. For some reason many stans think it's an atrocity for some reason.

[HamedM1 💔]

Scream & Shout is a song I liked more at the time but I don't really return to it much at all now, its fun to hear every once in a very long blue moon.

It locally released in other territories as per usual for Thursdays so its surfacing on social media and download sites. Someone on Twitter also basically just shared a video of the full song and that went around very fast.

Oh, S&S is great. It was current, extremely catchy and served its purpose. Production-wise, one of will.i.am’s finest, imo. I personally don’t mind mindless fun pop songs à la S&S or Pretty Girls. As long as it’s executed well with fine production. That’s why I’m disappointed with the new song. My bar was already low, knowing who’s involved in this, but it's nowhere as slick as S&S.

[Koochie]

This unironically sounds like a Nadia Oh song except Nadia was actually in on the joke

Same energy:

[adamalterlago]

What a strange, strange song. This MAYBE could have worked 10 years ago.

Everything about this seems off. The low effort and energy with the cover, song, lack of any real acknowledgement by her, etc. 

This is the same quality and effort as when she was in the conservatorship. I just don't get it with her she's so confusing.   You still never really know if it's genuinely her doing something or her team making a cash grab even today. She's vague/reclusive and the products themselves are a mess. 

I honestly hate to seem so pessimistic but I really do think with the way they threw together a decade-old Britney Jean outtake with no effort that this memoir is also going to be something that she didn't put much effort in nor have much input. Like I get the vibes the memoir is going to be some very vague storytelling and not actually address how she is currently or what she's really been through behind closed doors. It'll be released and she won't do any interviews or even bother acknowledging it much. A memoir about her being a free woman while seemingly still being guarded and closed off. 

It all just seems like the same cash grabs her team was doing before the conservatorship ended.
