^ Lol. I know; it's weird how I was kinda just drawn to the television along with 3 other people.

I think this PV is a direct reference to the Toxic PV, which I love because it's one of her biggest hits and it's a great song + pv.

just some points of similarity:
- 3 hair colors: black, blond, red-ish.
- nude scene
- shower scene
- sits on top of the guy + something with food (or poison in toxic)
- unrealistic throwing scene on the couch (where she throws the guy somewhere)

again, I'm NOT bashing the pv for this, but I love it!! She appeals to main stream while also pleasing the fans!

also, the chubby guy at the copy machine looks like the guy in the plane from Toxic! but I need a closer look when it airs on TV.

this song is so great and the PV also so unique

I recognized that too!

although this video 's similar to TOXIc ( imo ) .... but who cares !!!! i still love it so much !!!! i hope it'll be the best video of the year in VMA next year

The video was great and yea, it definitely pays homage to Toxic. The only problems I had with the pv was that it was too short and that she looked like a tall buff man in the businesswomen scene. Other than that it was cool. :)

Btw, I agree with austin. Toxic jewerly Britney >>>>>>>>>>> Womanizer naked Britney. Somehow I found her naked scene disturbing.

I think my only concern was her eyebrows in the sauna scenes when it showed her close up. They were definitely a different color than the hair on her head.

I just love this video! It's so camp!!!

Yeah, but they matched her 3 inch roots perfectly :heart

the guy is hot :X

pv is so cool :>
i love "womanizer", it's so catchy ...

ALL is hot I LOVE britney SHE is AMAZING

@dddaiyamondo
frikken hilarious

I agree with a few people here, it's not her best video nor Best Video of the Year material, but is hell of a lot better than Blackout's videos. The full on naked scenes weren't needed and the short black wig made Britney look butch. Really, this is more of my taste, but the hair flipping moves were annoying.

So far, I have high hopes for Circus!

I love the naked scenes. Not for looking at her body or anything lol but I like it.. Better than the Toxic scene, that I find strange >__>
Womanizer is total win!

It's very interesting that they added more steam to the nude scenes for TV, because in the director's cut there's barely any steam, and you still don't see anything.

This video isn't much different from any of her other videos. I still believe her best videos were "Everytime" and "Boys."

UMMMM, there was a glitch today with iTunes causing "Womanizer" to be removed from the store in all countries. Her record label is working to get it back, but how the **** could that have happened? Did Xtina pay someone to do it?

:roflmao

That's kind of retarded. You would think someone could get that controlled easily. Maybe there really is a conspiracy behind it 0_o

Christina probably spent her makeup money for the week and paid the iTunes people to remove "Womanizer". :uzi It better go back up soon or I'll be peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ist.

yeah !!! i hope it'll be backs so soon ... maybe someone doesn't want Brits reach no 1

Well it's back now, and at number 5. This is just weird.

YIPPY BRITNEY IS BACK!
I STILL LOVE HER MUSIC!

that's all what i read " Britney Spears makes a 96-1 jump with "Womanizer," returning to the top of the list for the first time since her debut single ". . . Baby One More Time" hit No. 1 in January 1999 . . . This is the third time in the past two months that the record for the biggest jump to No. 1 has been shattered. On the Hot 100 dated Sept. 6, T.I. soared 71-1 with "Whatever You Like" and last week he broke his own record when he sprinted 80-1 with "Live Your Life." . . . Spears' massive leap to No. 1 is spurred by first-week digital download sales of 286,000, the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003, besting Mariah Carey's take for "Touch My Body" by just over 200 units . . . In between her nearly 10-year gap between No. 1s, Spears has placed four other top 10s on the Hot 100, the last being "Gimme More," the first single from her last album, "Blackout." That song jumped 68-3 last October with first-week download sales of 179,000. "Womanizer" previews Spears' sixth studio set "Circus," due Dec. 2. "

^Congrats to Brit-Brit!

Haters:
http://i34.tinypic.com/64frsi.jpg

^:laugh

Woot! Woot! Congrats to her! It's about time she got another #1 single. :clapclap

WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME. :grumpy

^I kinda felt bad for T.I. tho. He had just gotten the #1 position just this week. That's okay tho. He has the #1 album in America right now. Woot for him too! :shimmy

that's a MASSIVE JUMP :OMG ... from 96 (!!!!!) to 1 (! x gazillion) I'm so hyper right now after reading this ...
AMAZING WORK BICTA!!!!!

I can't get over that she has only had two number #1s How didn't songs like Toxic and Slave 4 U not reach the top?

Wow...this is dang gd for her..hahaha

Honestly this song sux!! People only happy because she is when again... :no:no:no:no

Because she's "when again"? Since when is "when" an adjective?

And no, the song is actually great, and that's why it's so successful. If Britney just recorded herself farting it wouldn't be this successful.

^ Kinda agreed.

I don't "kinda" agree, I TOTALLY agree :)

^ oh pleaz ... that doesn't make any sense. Do you really think that so many people are
rooting for her and only buying the single because they are happy to see her
back?!?

:thud

^:innocent

People are "interesting in this"? I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying.

And no, not everybody is interested in Britney. Many people are, but stating that "everybody is" is a generalization. People are glad to see her doing well, yes. However, people wouldn't buy the song if it were crap. It's a good song, and therefore people are supporting her by purchasing it (and yes, the fact that her fans wish to support Britney herself is a part of this, as is the case with any fan purchasing a song from an artist they consider themselves a fan of).

Exactly. I can't think of any examples of people buying a song they don't actually like. I mean seriously, it makes no sense. Clearly if people are buying the song, then they actually LIKE it, and they're not just "interesting in Britney"...

Thank you. I don't support Ayu when she churns out ****, and that's why I didn't purchase A COMPLETE. It's a lazy release, and even though I adore her, I'm not some blind fan who will waste my own money in order to buy a compilation of songs I already own simply to support her. If people thought Womanizer was not a good song, and were just purchasing it to support her as a person, then it would be sad how many blind fans she has.

I don't like Womanizer all that much (she can definitely do better), but I'll support the song if it means helping Britney produce better music in the future.

She said "support", not buy. Unless she's indeed buying it for that reason.:shrug I don't understand how you'd encourage an artist to produce better music by applauding them when they've made a bad song though :shrug

I'll buy her next album, but not because I pity her. I'm already a fan and well, a lot of people liked BLACKOUT, and I definitely loved it, so it might have gotten people really hyper to check out how Womanizer would sound like. I haven't listened to Womanizer yet, though I'm extremely curious, but I don't feel like downloading it (and I haven't been paying attention to what's being played on radio..).

Love BLACKOUT AND WOMANIZER ALOT! Will buy her upcoming album!

The argument that Britney is only finding success because people are rooting for her and they are caught up in her making a comeback is bull. If that were true, how come Blackout sold so poorly? I know it's hard for the haters to admit that "Womanizer" is a catchy and amazing song, but they need to face facts.

totally agree with u. BLACKOUT did crap. and those haters just scared to accept her really coming back to the scene. christina aguilera's fans all decided to purchase her single "Keeps getting Better" in iTunes on the same day Womanizer was released just so Britney would not get the top spot. but too bad, she's even #1 in Billboard Hot 100 now. there, in ur face = ="

edit: owh i forgot to mention how much i love Womanizer. The video is awesome. the office scenes cracked me up ~ XD

lol cant believe i still see these kinda bull around.

i'm so happy to see her come back. i've never really cared much for britney before, but now, i'm really interested in what she has to offer now. Womanizer isn't that great, but it shows a new britney that's now put her foot down. i'm going to support her for that, to keep her doing what she's doin b/c of that "what now?" kind of curiosity i have of her. maybe that's why she's up top on the chart for that reason. some people could be thinking just like i am. it's about the artist AND the new sound, which, in this case, is a new sound for Britney, imo. its like, one would keep nurturing an unknown pot of something after it was returned by a person who took poor care of it, which once bloomed daisies, to keep it going just to see what it would offer this time.

people are gonna have their opinions about Britney, and sadly all those people who hate her for the stupidest reasons and want her to fail, well those are the kind of people who will end up just like Britney in her darkest days. At least Britney is picking up her pieces and making a comeback, and whether or not ppl want to admit it, she is coming back full force. Her new single has already broken a few records. /rasp

Circus is going to be absolutely hot hot hot. i love the list of artists she is working with, i can't stand the wait.

Same here, I think the whole thing is going to be a lot better, especially since she herself is in a better place, so I am looking forward to a more put-together sound. BLACKOUT was good, but it seemed a little disjointed, so hopefully Circus will feel better oiled.

Agreed, totally. I'm expecting an all-around better album with Circus, especially since Brit herself is doing so much better. I even like Womanizer more than Gimme More, which not many people seem to.

Me too! Not that I didn't love Gimme More, but there's something about Womanizer that just makes me want to dance more, and I smile more. Maybe it's because it's still new, but in any case, I am loving it. And congrats to her for another #1 =D

*Loves Gimme More more than Womanizer*

I hope Circus is better than BLACKOUT as well. BLACKOUT was okay but I didn't like most of the tracks. :no I haven't been to enjoy ALL of Britney's album tracks since Britney was released. =/ Britney = :heart In the Zone was another okay album but I wasn't feel'n some of the tracks either. I seriously felt that I wasted money on ITZ. I really hope that I can enjoy all of her album tracks on Circus like I did with Britney.

^Wat.

ITZ was her best album by far. That's when I started taking her serious as an artist, not just some pop culture phenomenon. "Touch of My Hand", "Breathe On Me", "Early Mornin'", "Everytime", "Toxic"... so amazing. And Blackout is one of my favorite pop albums ever, hands down. "Gimme More", "Toy Soldier", "Radar"... it blows away pretty much everything else in 2007.

I just realized the Womanizer video gets better every time you see it. =D

I'm liking Womanizer & I hope Circus will live up to Blackout :D

Blackout is the best Britney album ever, all the tracks are good and the album is very consistent. Danja and Bloodshy & Avant are just genious producers :yes

panda87 took the words right out of my mouth. It's very interesting to see her move forward and wonder "What's next!?"

I don't listen Britney's stuff so long. (maybe since I'm 16, lol) but Womanizer its so addicting >_< omg stop stop Britney! I'm under your spell!! XD

Continue the dance rehearsals to build her back up to the performer she used to be. That's all I want from her as an entertainer right now.




Also, THANK GOD THEY DECLARED A MISTRAIL. That should never have even gone to trial in the first place.

It's been confirmed that there will be a two-disc Deluxe Edition of Circus released on December 2 as well. I'm definitely buying it :D

^OMG! Yay! :heart What's with the sudden rise in releasing deluxe versions tho? lol I hope that we get the pv for Womanizer and the special documentary about on MTV with the DVD.That would be awesome.

They never said it was a DVD though. It's 2 CDs according to Jive's statement about it.

^Awwwww! :cry A I Am...Sasha Fierce type release huh?! >_> Oh well, I'm still buying it. *prays that the album isn't garbage*

Has the tracklist of Circus been released yet?

Like "I Am... Sasha Fierce" was the first double-disc album ever. :laugh

I remember reading on britneyspearsblackout.com though that a certain deluxe edition would include the documentary from MTV and such. So that leads me to believe it is a DVD.

That would be so cool! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

:OMG Have you guys seen her PROMO for the GMA-EVENT on the 2nd of December?!?!

She looks so great and stunning.



:heart :heart :heart :heart :heart :heart :heart

Wow, she looks great!!!

Britney really is back =D

AWW she looks great! hahah..im so happy for her really...its gonna be so awesome

it's been confirm her CIRCUS release will be 1 CD + 1 DVD ..
i cannot wait and for sure will get it on release !!

God she looks so refreshed and "new". She got a reBiRTH, just like Ayu! They are really such inspiring women...

Yes yes yes! :yatta It's been released along with the CD only version just like I Am...Sasha Fierce. :shimmy I'm so buying their albums. Thank gawd America has finally got the picture to release like the Japanese. :cool

http://britneyspearsblackout.com/?p=5499

She is re-recording "Baby One More Time" with a more modern and mature twist now.
and probably its gonna be on Circus? hopefully...

im excited about this! woohoo! .. its renamed to "One More Time" apparently..as seen in that article

^ Wow, seriously? That's so cool! Very reminiscent of Ayu's 10th Anniversary songs.

That's very fitting for her 10th anniversary. Hopefully we'll get to hear the track!

Oh Mai Godz SHE COPY AYU!! MAYBE SHE KNOW AYU? OH NOE!

god lmao jks kiddies


I think that would be cool, Christina is re-recording a couple of old tracks for her upcoming Best, now Britney doing it... its gonna be great :D. 2 of the greatest pop icons doing it at the same time :D.

The media will probably turn it into a battle of the divas, and you know fans are going to buy copies to support their favorite. It'll be like Kanye West vs. 50 Cent, only neither is going to stop singing if they "lose" in sales.

omg that is so cool i am excited to hear it!
and in that clip with the birthday cake she looks so young and cute~

Judging from Christina's latest MV...i think Britney has the chance...
Seems like November 2nd is the day where all 4 stars clash..

Britney, Xtina, Leona, Beyonce are all releasing their singles on Nov 2nd.
Source: http://britneyspearsblackout.com/?p=5518
Leona's Forgive Me was some bonus track material...
I cant comment on Beyonce's

Anyways...I hope she makes the re-record well haha..that'll really show a lot

I just remembered that 2008 is Britney's 10th Anniversary! LOL.

i'm happy for her coming back again
she's just as great as she was...even greater !

her eyes look horrible and so is her dress. imo worse than the blackout cover

Britney's covers have always been okay. Blackout had to be the ugliest cover though. This is one of the prettier looking ones. It's over air brushed feel reminds me of BEST FICTION.

edit:What a sec... Bonus Track is Radar?! The Bonus Track is a song we already have(if you bought the last album)!

She looks fugly as fugly can be.

'If u seek Amy'? What? :\

Geeez the cover is bad =\ Oh well, I'll still buy the album =)

I'm assuming that could have been a typo and they meant 'If U Seek Any'

OMG the cover is sooo nice
so pretty ^^
something fresh from her
somehow looks like Paris Hilton
LOL

That's what I was thinking. :P

On her official website it says, If U Seek Amy, so maybe it's the title. Btw is that hole in the chest of the dress? I'm trying to find that dress.

I'm curious to hear what Circus sounds like, they say it's a fast tempo song and as her next single we'll get a music video, i hope.

MTV says "If U Seek Amy" as well...

'One track, entitled 'If You Seek Amy', has left fans wondering if it's in reference to troubled British singer Amy Winehouse.' (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...bum-cover.html) hahaha.

i think she looks pretty on the cover but the text ruins it! better than blackout but still pretty tacky :(

and if anyone thinks there is going to be a big media battle between britney and xtina, you'll be disappointed lol. it's pretty much going to britney hands down.

WOW LOVE THE COVER! SO GROGEOUS!

I think she look really pretty on the cover hahha...even though the font is tacky but...for a "circus" font, its ok

It looks cheap and ugly, Blackout is still worse. and her eyes lmao, she probably forgot to take her meds before the photoshoot :laugh
