I fully agree that it is possible that some are unfair to Britney Jean because they actually prefer Britney at that point in her life (BO) and actually can't relate to songs about her being at the place she's in now. It's how I finally reconciled with myself the fact that so many don't even see that it is an extremely personal album, even if the music isn't your taste. In fact, maybe I only relate to it so well because of where I am in my life and it doesn't have anything to do with where Britney is at all. Who knows.
However, Blackout is a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong. I never want her making another one because I never want her to have to feel that way again. But let's not deny that the music on that album was a perfect personification of her life at that time (much like I think Britney Jean is today). There are songs on that album that would go on to define the landscape of pop music for years. On POM this pop starlet, who had become famous for her tabloid antics, actually bites the hands that feed her - the music industry, the media. And she was right to. "No wonder there's panic in the industry, I mean please" is one of the most powerful and truthful lines in any Britney song, in my opinion.
The sheer sonic quality of Blackout is unsurpassed in her catalogue, and certainly is an area that Britney Jean sometimes fell short. I only prefer ITZ to BO and it's not for quality, it's for variety. Regardless, Blackout was a moment in her life, much the way Britney Jean is. Even if you hate either period I don't see how fans don't respect them both for being those kinds of reflections.

Well... We all know what happened to Britney in 2007/2008, but it doesn't mean that if an album is being done during the personal issues an artist could had, it's necessary bad.
Having said that, I also consider Blackout as a masterpiece and it's because it was a trendsetter album in my opinion. I think that Danja and Bloodshy & Avant, among the other producers that worked there, explored a sound that wasn't too mainstream and ahead of its time, making that record a cohesive one.
Also, we should take into consideration that Britney had the creative control during the Blackout process, which it could be seen as personal since she let will.i.am to take that in Britney Jean.

We had done this like a zillion times b4 but whatever ill do it again (pun intended) :
1. In The Zone (one of the best albums in music history)
2. Blackout
3. Femme Fatale (I loved dance Britney and I want more of this on her next album)
4. Circus
5. Britney (this album has one of my all time favorite songs aka slave 4 U)
6. Britney Jean (Work Bitch will be a career highlight)
And I don't care for the rest

I prefer ITZ and OIDIA to Blackout. But all 3 are great albums, and Circus is up there with them (and would be higher had they included the bonus/extra songs as part of the real album).

It's a shame that they changed the rules for the dance category. "Work Bitch" might have stood a chance there. Probably will end up being another Skrilled sweep instead. ????

Don't they have to pay for submissions? Why would they waste money on this?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll be the first one to tell you that Britney Jean is in fact the best album of the year. But the Grammys? LOL
