You guys still remember isthisLOL? ? I requested a Blackout review and he was so kind to do one for me: http://day1day2day3.wordpress.com/20...ears-blackout/

Maybe you guys are interested? That's his new blog by the way and he will post every day one album review. I think it's a very nice idea!

Does he still visit AHS, or was he banned? I like his opinions and views but I just noticed he doesn't post anymore lol

He was banned. Actually the mods said he just shouldn't be able to post for a while, but they never unbanned him as far as I know.
I find it questionable to ban someone like him for making a little bit trouble here and there but let other people post their racist/homophobic/sexist stuff all the time.

But I think he would be happy to know that there are still people around who liked his opnions and views and maybe some of you will follow his blog?

At his old one he posted also a Britney Jean (http://boldlydelicious.com/2013/12/1...y-jean-review/) review and one of the Perfume video (http://boldlydelicious.com/2013/12/1...g-back-simple/).

I like his Britney Jean review and it shows that Britney Jean isn't the shit people like to pretend it is.

I'm not a real fan of Britney, but I usually like some of her singles.
Is there going to be a 3rd single from this personal album ?


I don't like Work B!tch and Perfume is boring.

Oh come on! Work Bitch is such an awesome song to work out to. You gotta try it. lol :D

Danja: "Will.i.am Changed The Direction Of Britney Jean"



will.i.am is a name to talk about. Thankfully Miley didn't chose him to lead the executive production of Bangerz, because even though he worked on "Do My Thang", it's still a great song, same thing about "Fashion" (and I think Artpop would've sounded more audible if he had produced more tracks than just one). Williams can produce good songs (not everytime), but in a room with three or four people, but it seems that Britney let he take over the whole thing about Britney Jean, and that was when the album started to fall apart in my opinion.

Britney Jean isn't really that bad tbh... It's just... Just another Britney Spears album~ (At least there's less auto-tune than usual)

^^
Interesting.
I actually don't mind some of will.i.am. stuff. It's just that everytime she does something with Britney, it's something I hate.
They just don't work together for me.

The problem is Britney Jean (the album), because he did a good job with Femme Fatale and #willpower is also not that bad, I really don't know why he messed up things this time :@

Because messing things up is what will.i.am is good at. BEP's The END was great... look what he did to The Beginning. It's the same issue with most of his work. He thinks his ideas are gold but they only have a shelf life of a few songs before EVERYONE is ultimately sick of hearing him.

Have you guys listened to this?

^That one is great! Like it a lot more than the album version (not that the album version would be bad).

nice =)

I still haven't given Britney Jean a real listen. I just can't do it.

Also, very intersting that her "most personal" album would be the one to flop. But, I think that speaks to what people want and expect from Britney: manufactured pop crap. I loved Blackout and Femme Fatal because they are dancey, sexy and fun. I listen to Britney when I wanna shake dat ass, not cry.

Nice.

I don't know, I don't mind Britney slower pieces, and some of them are masterpieces (like Everytime), and it's not like Britney Jean is full of ballads or insightful songs. Quite the opposite, actually.
I think it's flopping because 1) Britney image is not appealing anymore, her era is kinda over and 2) I honestly believe it's such a "meh" cd.

Both points are very true, but I think they could have been overcome if she had done what she does best. Let other people reinvent her pop icon diva look. Done yet another "comeback" album. As someone who hasn't really listened to the album, just going off of what I've read about the purpose of the album, it seemed that they were striving to make this album less diva and more... girl next door? From the name they choose, the cover of the album, etc., I think the marketing killed it. Because the album's music could actually be far from that, and be full of ass poppin' hits. But, I wouldn't know that because I don't want to bother to listen to it, based on what I simply think about the album.

Simply comparing name and the covers of the albums Britney Jean and Femme Fatal, just from those two things alone, FF seems like its a lot more fun.

But, that's just how I view it.

^
Yeah, that's the point. Some singers have to reinvent themselves, like Madonna or Katy Perry. For other, this formula don't work, they have to do what they're known for, like J-Lo or Celine Dion, or Brit-Brit. They can experiment, but they need to be extremely careful doing so... They're not very versatile, they have a sound, they're very good at it and they can play with it.
And, anyway, it's not like Britney Jean is experimental. Far from it. I just found it a watered version of what she usually delivers, with few exceptions.
You're right, I think the album could have used a normal promotion, instead of this "more personal Britney cd evah" marketing strategy. Maybe it set our expectations on something different and that's why a lot of us are so disappointed. Because, in the end, Britney Jean is not even that terrible. Just... "mheeeee".

I guess the main problem revolving this album is will.i.am, his production on Britney Jean sounds saturated, Brithey should have tried In The Zone producers once again, I call that album her masterpiece :heart

Yup! You got what I was trying to say exactly!! Just in less words and much more clearly XD
