People actually still have high expectations?!

Also consider that she was woken up out of her sleep for an interview that she obviously didn't even want to do, but she did it anyway. She wasn't rude at all. There's really nothing to be upset about...

Actually I'm amazed by that. I was gonna listen to her interview but I saw Victoria (Spice Girls) there so I listened her first. Man she was in the station live broadcast around 7:30ish (and Britney's interview was around 9:30ish...), and she mentioned that she gotta wake up around 6ish cuz she gotta help the kids to school.

I mean, if this was a interview popping out of the blue (like they decided to call her all of the sudden), it would be ok. But I guess people around knew about there would be an interview coming. I guess she's still drown inside the drug pool :P while doing the interview.

Of course the interview wasn't as bad as I thought. But she left just after a few mins still amazed me to a certain point.

No, I've never been a hardcore fan of Britney. I just love some of her music. So it doesn't matter to me if she still wanna drown herself. I would love to see her stand up again one day. Some of you should keep your faith. As a Spice fan I've never expected that there would a reunion.. but let's see how active and happy the spice fans are now.. so maybe one day you will be happy as well (meaning that she's back to her old self..)

futureLOVE 3rd November 2007 07:48 AM

BLACKOUT is HOTTTTTTT!!!!!

she may be a wrecked person, but she definately did good music for this album.

TITANIC 3rd November 2007 03:27 PM

But the Spice Girls never went into crazy drug depression periods. They all had solo careers (of course to differing extents) that were successful. Brit really doesn't care about anything anymore and I've kept faith long enough. After watching that trainwreck VMA performance, seeing the monstrously horrid video for Gimme More, and now hearing this interview, I now despise her as a person. I'm sorry, but I do. I've held on far too long. Sure, her music will always be fantastic, but as a human being, she fails to even fill the basic requirements for being a decent one.

JesA 3rd November 2007 05:05 PM

Blackout is amazing...its one of the best albums ive heard all year. My favorites are Gimme More, Piece of Me, Break the Ice, Freakshow, Hot as Ice, and Ooh Ooh Baby. There's only three songs i dont like; Radar, Get Naked (I Got a Plan), and Perfect Lover. The other songs are just ok.

Btw, i just read that Blackout sold more than 114,000 copies in the first day (according to Nielsen Soundscan) and they said they predicted about 350,000 for the first day. I know, that doesnt make much sense, but thats how it was phrased...i guess it sold 114,000 for the first part of the day, and the total for the entire 24 hours was 350,000-ish.....im not really sure. I wish we could just see all the sales and the chart positions...ive been checking every two hours since tuesday....

You've GOT to be kidding me. You should consider that the only things you now about her is what you read in the tabloids and internet gossip sites, which is all negative (half of it isn't even negative, like her going out and partying for example, but it's intentionally presented in a negative way which leads many folks to misunderstand it as negative news, just like the media wants them to). You only know about one aspect of her person, and that's it. The media portrays her has a bad person and many folks are fooled into believing that she truly is. You know what the media wants you to know. You don't know anything else. Best not to make a one-sided judgment. It's invalid. As for being a decent human being, the only thing she does is go about her own business. She doesn't harass anyone, she doesn't go out of her way to make life hard for others, she doesn't do anything of that sort. The only thing she does is wake up, make mistakes like the rest of us, and go about her life minding her own business. That to me seems to be a decent human being at the least.

austin. ♥ 3rd November 2007 08:30 PM

LOL, she shouldn't be partying anyway, she should be discussing with her lawyer/defender-person (:tipsy) exactly how she's going to get custody of her children (which imo, she doesn't deserve custody over).

God knows what happens behind cameras with those two crackheads Allie and Sam etc. Britney should just completley disappear from the public eye for a few years and sort her life out then make her comeback. Because, even though musically 'Blackout' is a comeback, and it's selling well, she's just as bad as she ever was. D:

So, she didn't:

Get together with someone who had a pregnant wife at home.
Almost drop her kid, and then drive with the same kid on her lap.
Screw up a magazine shoot the other month with her selfish actions.
Give a judge cause to submit her for random drug testing.
Go drinking every night she had a court appearance in her custody battle.
Smack the paps with an umbrella.
Hit and Run ... a few time's.
Pretty much admit she didn't really want to finish the Onyx Hotel tour.
Flash her minge to all and sundry. Indecent exposure = criminal offence.

Good to know. Thank God non of those things happened and she really is a nice person :P

Dreamin Startin 3rd November 2007 09:18 PM

^ o_O Did you not catch the meaning in that sentence? She doesn't go out of her way to make life hard for others. The mistakes and issues of her personal life are her business that she's got to deal with, but the fact still remains that the only thing she does now is mind her own business and go about her life.

Britney can't get away from being in the public eye. The media is always on her ass.

Weslicious 3rd November 2007 09:24 PM

Hello. She stole a married man, and has almost damaged her kids. I doubt she woke up that morning and thought 'I might drop Sean today', but still, them poor little brats are gonna have a pretty naff life with that for a mum.
Then the magazine shoot. I'm sure it doesn't come naturally for people to let their dogs crap all over designer dresses and not say sorry, so yeah, she's gone out her way to be a vile person.
And do you accidentally pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ things with an umbrella? Or do you go out your way to do it.

Dreamin Startin 3rd November 2007 09:47 PM

Those incidents are very old. I'm speaking of her recently. But if she knew that Kevin and Shar were together when she began talking to him, then she is indeed in the wrong. And she didn't command her dog to go on the designer dress just to make the owners upset. It was an accident. And did she not really apologize? I don't recall reading that she didn't apologize. And thinking that she'd go out of her way to hurt her kids is a crazy thought to have. :laugh She may be deemed an unfit mother but she definitely doesn't try to hurt her children.

She doesn't go out her way to be a bad person, but you're going out of your way to make her look like one.

Weslicious 3rd November 2007 10:02 PM

Why? Because everything I mentioned never happened?

The only way I would be making her look bad without that being the case would be if I posted lie's.

The media are on her arse because she keeps them in contact when she goes out, get's them food, let's them do her shopping.

Portrayal of someone is how you intentionally choose to make them seem. It doesn't have to be done with lies. Just like toward the beginning of Britney's carrer she was portrayed by herself and her management as a "sexy-but-virginal girl next door". You're portraying her as a bad person. Her dog went on the dress; fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsibilty for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happen and it was a accident. She almost dropped her kids, fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsiblity for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happn and it was an accident. She hit another womans car, fine, but it was an accident. She still has to take responsiblity for it, yes, but she didn't mean for it to happen and it was an accident.

Weslicious 4th November 2007 12:53 AM

See, if you have to explain her entire life as 'an accident' then that can't be right. Girlfriends messed up, and no matter how many Chris Crocker-esque fans tell me I'm being harsh, I'm just keeping it real. J-Lo real :P

JesA 4th November 2007 01:20 AM

i really think Britney should get custody of those boys. Kevin is worse than Britney in every way...he doesn't make enough money to support a family. The only reason he's getting the boys is cuz Britney always has cameras on her butt. I bet if the papparazzi followed Kevin for a while, things would change...

this is off topic, but..

i saw a rerun of the second Britney hosting on SNL last night on E!, and her performance was awesome! She sang I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman...and she didn't lipsync. It was actually really good....

True dat yo' :P

And Dreamin Startin, I completely stand by my comments. Sure, I don't think she goes out of her way to make anyone's life miserable, but she certainly doesn't seem to care about anyone's but her own. And she doesn't even treat that with respect either. There's only so much negativity the paps can portray. You can't pretend that the girl is the pure pop princess she once was, she IS a different person now.

Many reasons you've made are quite irrational. Not many people would have quite a few car accidents in less than a year. I didn't know she hit a woman's car, but I know her wheels stepped on a photographer's foot. And this is not the first time I hear she hits on an object. You can call those as accidents... BUT do normal people drives like that?

Oh gosh if you're working, you shouldn't bring the dogs in. That is a common mistake that both ayu and britney have. At least you dun see ayu's dogs trashing people's design... Britney can hire a person to look after her dog. PLUS I heard that she wiped her mouth with her hand, then she wiped her hand on the clothes rite? You said she took the responsibility (I assume paying for the damaged clothing?), but that's because she has money. A normal people can afford damaging those luxury stuff.

I dun even wanna talk about her kids cuz she and kev are just bad parents. And dun say she's been chasing by the media. If she doesn't act that weirdly, who would bother putting her on headlines? How often do you see Julia Roberts hitting people's car with an umbrella? Have you seen other artist showing her bottom in the public (other than Paris Hilton..)?

It's true that no one on the outside can know the whole story, but there is also a point where you can't possibly justify a persons' actions either. And her actions over the past couple of years and especially since having her kids have been inexcusable. If she were really so concerned about being a good human being than she wouldn't even have an album out right now, she wouldn't be trying to do anything except get herself together and get her family situation sorted out. Yes, media, papparazzi etc make it more difficult but ultimately you always have your own choices and she has continued to live a lifestyle that is going to attract a significant amount of attention, so in some ways she does bring it on herself.

Bottom line, she just needs to get her @*#$ together. Period.

[Dreamin Startin]Britney can't get away from being in the public eye. The media is always on her ass.[/Dreamin Startin]

I'm sorry, but that's an excuse. It's not impossible and if she didn't give them reason to, they wouldn't be there in the first place.
Even move to a different country if you have to(Johnny Depp is a good example). Hell, even move to Antartica if it's your own well being and your family that is at stake. The point is, you do what it takes if your family is really your priority. The papparrazzi (who I think are absolutely awful and should be illegal btw) are ultimately still just an excuse.

Supposedly: Jive has already chosen to release Break the Ice as the next single, as confirmed by SonyBMG, and is expected to be released mid November.

And (great new folks!, to the Britney fans at least)

Quote:

The Pop Princess's latest album 'Blackout', is expected to debut at number one on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums next week. That will let Spears to break her own record again by becoming the first female artist in SoundScan history to have her first five studio albums debut at number-one. (She previously set the record for her 2003 number-one album In The Zone). According to Billboard, the album sold about 125,000 copies on its first day. The lead single from the album- 'Gimme More' has reached the top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Britney's record label Jive is ready to release the next single 'Break The Ice' (produced by Nate Hills), which is expected to hit the airwaves in mid-November.
According to SonyBMG.

But really, why are some folks so anal over this single choice??? It's a damn great song. And it has a very urban sound, and it'll get lots of radio play because of it, which is what needs to be out there in Britney's name right now. Get things away from her personal life and onto her music. Piece Of Me is a great song but it's about the media harassment (which were trying to take the attention away from) and it also isn't as radio friendly as Break The Ice. Piece Of Me shouldn't be released just yet, but later.

KaoriNeko 6th November 2007 02:47 AM

Radar, Piece of Me, Gimme More, Toy Soldier, and Freakshow are the bestest. Durr stupid voter people. Screw Break The Ice

Dreamin Startin 6th November 2007 06:34 AM

Folks loved Break the Ice, but then when it got put against Piece Of Me all of sudden the song sucked. :rolleyes

ayumisrael 6th November 2007 05:04 PM

It's funny!
Most of the songs remind me of BoA's Bad Drive song style.
Get Back has that hymn behind the beats that reminds me of hikki's Movin' on without you the "Nothing gonna stop me" part.

bluegie 7th November 2007 11:25 AM

Oh my... Blackout is debuting at no. 2 this week because Billboard just changed the policy of the chart.

Quote:

Previously, titles that were not generally available at retail were not eligible to appear on The Billboard 200, but were entitled to chart on Billboard's Top Comprehensive Albums, which includes catalog titles and proprietary albums from retailers willing to report those sales.
So Eagle's new album will kick Britney off the no. 1 streak... :no..

bondingo 7th November 2007 11:58 AM

It's almost like Billboard is giving Britney a big middle finger and saying, "Haha! You didn't deserve the number 1 spot you wreck!"

At least that's how I see it... :\

bluegie 7th November 2007 12:05 PM

i got the same feeling as well. well Eagles sold over 700,000 at Walmart only this week.. Britney sold around 290,000 copies at different stores.. So we can't really say anything except that Billboard doesn't really want Britney on no. 1..

Kobayashiwoof 7th November 2007 12:41 PM

i think its kinda rude they changed it so last minute

Luv ~Venus~ 8th November 2007 04:05 AM

I had read about it on wiki yesterday. And they should that it wouldn't take affect until...well, today! So I mean, Britney should have her number 1. Why are the billboards doing that crap (I know why but not to Brit). I HATE WAL-MART NOW!

That's good, the eagles deserve to be number 1... more than I can say for Britney, she should be thankful to have managed to get 2.

Speaking of buying, I wonder if Chris Crocker bought her album?! :laugh

..:Hot:Like:Wow:.. 8th November 2007 10:51 AM

hmm, prolly 289 000 copies... using all the money he made from his pathetic 15 minutes of fame.

bondingo 8th November 2007 12:52 PM

The thing is thouhg, that the Eagles sold FAR more than her, and at a single store. Therefore, their sales are far exceeding Britney's and they deserve to be number 1 in my opinion. Personally, I don't like them, but I mean in terms of being fair they should have that place on the charts.

It's so funny, that crazy over on the Breathe Heavy website is getting all bothered by this and trying to get people to vote against it. It's like, "Give it a rest dude. Who really cares?"

Ok, finally I got my Blackout. I have bought the album at iTunes (I payed to my friend and he bought to me, cause I live onto Brazil, I can't buy these things) but the quality wasn't really so great. I have ripped the CD and I encoded the bonus tracks in 320K CBR/Constant BitRate (it was 320K VBR, so it doesn't makes much difference, but the songs DIDN'T PLAYED AT MY IPOD O.O).

Well I'll upload the whole album after finishing upload of Spice Girls' new album and Satomi Takasugi's new single promo.

And yay! Piece Of Me as the second single. I hope they will release Toy Soldier and Heaven On Earth as single too. I love the album, excluding Freakshow and Get Naked (these are so horrible that makes me laugh).

Anyways, I can't tell you how happy I am that Piece of Me is the next single. A friend of mine who doesn't even have the album was telling me she heard it and fell in love with it as well. It's definitely different, but I think it could be mainstream popular. I just hope she's there for the video shoot :\

ayu_ayu301 10th November 2007 06:07 AM

i think it's disgusting how billboards did that last minute .. it's liek they are against britney. Eagles might have sold it but under their "old" policy they wouldn't count single vendor sales ...

if they're going 2 change the rule of how they calculate sales on their chart, they should at least give it a notice period of more than 3 mintues !

Best song of the album by far. In second, for me it's Heaven on Earth. And I like Gimme More as well.. These are the only ones that I like xP~

namiie 13th November 2007 04:24 AM

Okay, I ain't gonna lie guys. Hot as Ice is, well...hot. XD It's a good song, but I think that Britney would be NO WHERE without her producers. I owe the general catchiness of "Blackout" to them. She can't really sing....it's the music/fun lyrics that make her album, and she does neither.

Luv ~Venus~ 13th November 2007 07:41 AM

I just don't think she put her soul into this album unlike her other ones. Yea, Gimme More was a great way to give the ablum hype but because of her personal life, I think saw her as a joke and didn't buy the album. Look at her first week sales, THEY SUCK! I was qutie surprise though....it's good album but like you guys I expected it to do well. Its sad because her producers worked hard this album and for her so that this album would help people get their minds off her personal life and onto her music. I mean, after all that's what we like her for: her music and her videos. :)

I think Toy Soldier would make a hot video...eh wait..... britney 2007....

I think that Brit's ranking for her album will rise and maybe #1 when Piece of Me is out

TeamAyu 13th November 2007 09:09 AM

The best song on the album goes to "Break The Ice" for me. That song SCREAMS hot, but I don't mind "Piece of Me" as the next single since it has so much attitude.

quoted for the truth :yes

I think the album is really catchy but Britney really does not deserve abum this good with the amount of effort she put into it. she didn't even bother to make a proper music video for "gimme more" :o
I'd rather see a new artist working with these talented producers instead of britney ...

credits of the album list Robyn & Keri Hilson for backround vocals. what kind of artist needs two ebstablished artists to do backround vocals ? lol

spookshow 14th November 2007 12:34 AM

^Robyn does background!? must go re-listen!

Rickumi 14th November 2007 01:53 AM

just listened to GIMME MORE acapella version

its incredible how overproducied her voice is... OMFG

PrincessAyu 19th November 2007 12:43 AM

I hate gimme more. She looks horrible and that's not music. xD cmon. She only repeats the title 429572 times and prances around looking awful. Her time is over and done with x.x

They broadcasted a concert of her tonight on tv.. in better times. But even then she doesn't sing live and she's a bad performer :s i wonder why i ever liked her xD

milky_way 19th November 2007 01:06 AM

^ Which concert was it?

Dreamin Startin 21st November 2007 07:47 AM

Gimme More... the song is music. And Britney's voice definitely brings something good the songs. She has the right voice the kind of music she does, which is dance pop/RnB. A voice like Christina Aguilera's wouldn't sound good for the kind of music Britney does. A voice like Britney's wouldn't sound good for the kind of music Christina does.

And some of yall need to just stop worrying about the Piece Of Me video. Because you know as soon as the video drops you're gonna do nothing but complain about it, just like you've done with everything else regarding the girl. :rolleyes As a matter of fact I don't know why she even bothers. She can't please anyone.

She doesn't bother, that's the problem. The girl doesn't give two craps about what she's been doing lately, and it's a battle that can't be won arguing against that. I am worried about the Piece of Me video because the Gimme More video was the biggest mess of a music video I've ever seen in my entire life. The girl wasted an opportunity for something great by shooting a lapdance that just happened to be done while music was playing.

And how do you know she was talking about the VMAs? She said "in better times", and the VMAs 07' were not better in any way whatsoever.

She performed, made a video, and did a photoshoot for the album. She does bother. Her talent, however, is buried under loads of other crap right now and it's going to be a long while before it resurfaces, if it ever does. The Gimme More video was bad, and the Piece Of Me video won't be anymore spectacular either. Expect that now. And since she gets ragged on and is going to get ragged on for this video even though she tries, she really shouldn't even bother.

Prove me wrong Britney!

Whoops, it seems I was mistaken, since she was talking about Gimme More beforehand. I hardly read that line. I took "in better times" as "in better air times", as in, so more viewers could see it. She also said "she's a bad performer" which to me HAD to mean she was talking about the 07 VMAs.

I'm hardly impressed at her lack of effort in doing the things you mentioned. She may have bothered to do them, but she certainly didn't bother to actually put anything into them. Just look at her past videos and performances and tell em that she bothered putting effort into any of the things you mentioned. You'll lose a lot of credibility in my book if you say she did. I don't mean to sound rude about this, but she's ********d up bad and hasn't made any attempt at remedying the plethora of mistakes she's managed to make within the past year (and by mistakes I'm including the performance and video). Her personal life is an entirely different, deformed entity.

And she isn't trying, that's what the problem is. If she was trying, then something good would be much more likely to come out of what she's done. I'll admit that she wholeheartedly provided vocals for a fantastically produced album, but she has made no effort beyond that and if she bothers to make a video for Piece of Me, it will be quite obvious if she bothered to put any effort into it. If she did, then I will most certainly appreciate it, but if she continues with this complete lack of enthusiasm, I will be forced to do as you say and complain about a poor video.

KuroixShiroi_Namida 21st November 2007 09:43 AM

I like Pieces of Me. She should make a music video for it with her giving the finger to everybody or something.

Bondingo I just said the video was bad in my previous post and I've said the performance was bad before. Do you remember my response to the performance a while that other thread? I ragged all over it myself; called her a drunk fool and all. You even responded to me in it. I shouldn't have done that though because it was pretty inconsiderate. But it's not lack of effort, because she did do her best; it's lack of talent now. She tried during HOB, it was still very lackluster. I watched the video again just now; she didn't toss us crumbs. She tried. But even when she tries her best it's not going to be good. You said it yourself, she's ****ed up bad. Why do you think a severely ****ed up Britney can pull off a video as good as Slave 4 U or Me Against the Music, or a performance like she did at the 2000 VMAs? It's not going to happen. If 2001 Britney did a performance and video like Gimme More then it'd be lack of effort, but this is the best she can give us now. She's lost her A-game.

bondingo 21st November 2007 10:58 AM

Sorry I sounded all pissy, I guess we just have differing views on it. I just don't think someone doesn't just lose talent like what she had only years ago. I believe it would take much longer for her to completely lose talent, because it's something innate. Personally I just happen to see it as lack of effort as opposed to a lack of talent but I guess we can agree to disagree.

i really like this album....really really fun techno pop album

my fave : gimme more,toy soldier,get naked,freak show,piece of me,perfect lover (hmm...) and why should be i sad.

rating : 9/10

Hopefully the album will flop soon, she'll disappear for a few years and make a proper comeback. She should sort her personal life out before taking something as big as this on.

And has she lost her kids?

Dreamin Startin 22nd November 2007 03:47 AM

^ It's been flopped. And it's currently at #23. Though I doubt a flop album is going to do any good in helping her recover.

Well yeah, now she can disappear. And did you lose her kids? I don't know...

Dreamin Startin 23rd November 2007 05:11 AM

Britney isn't disappearing as long as there is the media. Did I lose her kids? LOL. I might have misplaced them, but I sure hope not. Lol. No seriously, she does get them occasionally. I think it's on the weekends (not sure), but she also has to have an appointed monitor there to supervise when she's with the kids.

ayu99persen 23rd November 2007 02:13 PM

i think im in love again with britney LOL...
i see her as a very tough girl...
i really like why should i be sad :)

Oops, my bad. Aw that's sad, I hope she get full custody in the near future. :[

Dreamin Startin 24th November 2007 07:19 PM

I know. A while back there were paparazzi photos of Britney having to give her kids back to Kevin. She put them in the SUV and kissed them on the forehead, and when she finally turned away she was crying and wiping her eyes. : ( It's awful for any mother to have her babies taken away.

minkAYuko 24th November 2007 10:25 PM

it's always a joy to talk to my only britney-freaky-fan he always say he most unbelievable stupid things ever!! super funny!,.. no, seriously, we always get into brit-ayu fights but it's all just for fun!.. it's our thing! and and even though I dun want to hear about brit.. he puts me upt to date! xD

anyway.. so he showed me this audioclip of brit singing piece of me "live" and then I was like... "hey that's not a live... she's not singing live" and he's like.. "nooo the audience is live is a fan madeee"

and I'm like *speechless*...



...and so that's when it hit me... some of us (fans) we look forward to other artists lives that actually sound like a live, they can be rare!... but for britney jus add a "live" audience... and that's your live! you can have the whole black out album LIVE! that's what it's been so far.. just a track and live ppl at her concerts! :P

LOL!!!

here is the audio clip!:

^xD Wow. That does sound like an actual live. Thanks for this.

bondingo 26th November 2007 01:48 PM

It isn't official yet, but (my idol) Lil' Kim recorded a remix of Gimme More where she raps and talks in the background and it's freaking awesome. I'm kind of biased because I've always adored Lil' Kim, but you all should hear it, at least only to hear when Kim says "Kimmy Kimmy More". Click here to download it.

Mods, if this isn't allowed then please take the link down (it isn't official or for sale yet though, so it should be fine).

Luv ~Venus~ 26th November 2007 04:48 PM

OMG! You luv Lil Kim?! :roflmao Nothing wrong that but I find it funny that she's your idol. She is alright to me but I found constantly rapping at the tone but then again the Bad Boy label raps like that. I did like her rap version in Keysha Cole's Let It Go (I LUV THAT SONG!) You have heard of Keysha Cole....right bondigo?

(Sorry I'm off topic!)

Oh my gosh it sucks. >.< I really don't like it, lol. The Kimmy kimmy more part was cool, but other than that, NO. TI did way better. But I do like her songs How Many Licks and No Matter What They Say.

Well idol was said kind of jokingly but I seriously love Lil' Kim. I have since liek, the sixth grade, and I'm in college now. I even had a set of How Many Licks a few weeks ago which I'll probably have again in the future because I really liked it. I heard Let It Go and it's pretty good because I adore Kim.

I despise TI, so I hated his version. But at least you like two awesome songs by her; they're probably her most accessible too. It's just too bad you didn't like the version of Gimme More. I've been listening to it constantly since I downloaded it.

bondingo 29th November 2007 02:34 AM

So I'm still pretty worried, but I'm thinking that the video for Piece of Me might not be that bad. Britney actually put in the effort to go to the video shoot yesterday and was there until 6:30 in the morning. The concept is her and a bunch of lookalikes dress up in matching trenchcoats, blonde wigs, hats, and sunglasses in order to evade the paps and enter a club, but one of them follows her in. Unfortunately, Brit apparently used a body double for whenever it wasn't necessary to show her face. At least it might look a little more professional than Gimme More's wretched video. I think this might actually be alright, but then again, I shouldn't be expecting so much.

Eeeeeeeeeexactly. Standards should be low. No use in setting ourselves up for disappointment.

[taskin.ayu] 29th November 2007 05:25 AM

I feel sorry for Britney, her album is already on special in Australia. D:

Her album is going for $12.99, where a full priced album is around $20-25?
The Banana's in Pajamas album is going at $12.99 too, which shows you something to compare with. XDD
