The carpool karaoke and the MTV performance are the best news that could have happened in the last two days. :'( Still pissed about the music video fiasco though~

I'm sorry and I'm all here for a smash return. But honestly wtf are her team thinking?!?! Can someone here please take over and run this show?! The album cover is horrible. She is at top form right now - why are we not doing a body shot or something that is innovative or new other than a face shot. I mean COME ON...it's a screen grab!!! Secondly, this is one of her worst videos. I'm sorry but I have to say it regardless of the hype. The concept is lame, not funny and predictable. If I was David C, I would want my name off of this too! Honestly - what were they thinking? This is like a glossed up commercial version of GM!! All we have to rely on now is the music which has been on point so far. I'm just so frustrated w her lame ass team not doing their jobs and making her into what she deserves to be right now which is a pop legend. She needs to be making moves artistically, from the outside, that remind us who the f she is. Is anyone else as disappointed as I am??? And now I'm watching the first David C cut being leaked which is iconic. What the faq...this version is amazing!!! Can they play up this video drama and then release this version??

SHE DID NOT do re-shoots just to release a Patti Labelle "Right Kinda Lover"/ Backstreet Boys "As Long As You Love Me" mess!

It's interesting that there would be any issue with sexual, "adult" themes in a video when so much of her career initially hinged on sexuality.
I get that she's a mom now and everything but it's weird that her team/parents/whoever were cool with her thotty antics at 17 but as a grown ass woman it's suddenly a problem.

Maybe this is all for hype and they have full intentions of releasing the original version of the video. If they knew what they were filming how could it be so racy now that it can't be released now a days. It all seems strange. The new version is ok but I guess the scenes of her dancing sexy by herself are a little out of place. She looks amazing though.
"Private Show" from what I heard could have been good. I don't care for her vocal approach on the song. It's kind of annoying and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up liking it in some strange way. LoL.

I remember when she was launching her Vegas show she was asked about her tours, and said that she likely wouldn't do a show as sexually charged as The Onyx Hotel Tour these days due to motherhood, but then why even shoot those scenes to begin with?
Anyway, her Seacrest interview was hilarious, and I'm looking forward to the iheart performance. It's interesting that she spoke of a hip-hop direction, when the 2 songs put out so far are more in line with the "rock-influenced" sound she was talking about creating earlier.

Apparently the sexuality of the video wasn't the issue. I mean, in the reshoot she's basically interviewing people to f**k her brains out.
A part of me had a thought that this was all orchestrated. Release a safer video officially, then let the racier one leak to stir up press—if the response is negative, she's in the clear for scrapping it; and if it's positive then she still gets the credit for doing it and "her team" takes the fall... but I think G-Eazy going on record as hating the new edit sort of killed that theory.
Idk, I'm kind of over it. Poor career choices that make little-to-no sense are par for the course with her these days; but at least we have the promo to look forward to. I just hope the album is good.

This is the most talkative she's been in an interview in YEARS. Love what she said about the album.

I'm on-board the Private Show train more. The prechorus and bridge are really engaging and does show growth from the previous album. The bridge is very Janet Show Me from 20 Y.O. with that call and response.

Just an odd little side note, but the woman next to Seacrest in the radio show clip isn't on the show anymore; the female co-host you hear is someone else. Just one of those nitpicky things I tend to notice.
Anyway, it seems with Private Show they were trying to do something experimental, change things up with her voice, but it ended up just sounding pretty awful. Also, am I missing something or why is the album nowhere to be found in the entire iTunes top 200? Not eligible to chart yet?

Seems like Clumsy might be the next promotional release and it's track #6 on the album.

In what universe are Make Me and Private Show considered "rock-influenced?" @ Ryan Seacrest referring to himself as a woman when saying he shouldn't talk about age. Also, where are y'all seeing Clumsy on the pre-order? It's not on iTunes.

I'm re-watching some of her videos right now and the breakdown and fight scene in Hold It Againt Me has me rewinding it constantly right now. She was so above the trend with that album. It always brings me back to Vegas and seeing her film that MTV special with Pauly D.
