'Weslicious wants the Japanese bonus tracks NOW'

Yay, second thread. Let's shave away her first thread by posting here (The best I could do :P)

Reminder: Gimme, gimme Japanese bonus tracks, gimme Japanese, gimme tracks, gimme gimme Japanese bonus tracks.

Yeah, your gonna have to remove me, coz I ain't leaving this thread without them.

It's Weslicious Biznatch ... Word

Exactly. I wouldn't say it's her worst though, it's better than. '...Baby One More Time' and 'Oops!... I Did It Again'. But I can't see any other Billboard top 20's coming out of it. Okay maybe one and the rest out of the top 40. Ugh, well I know what I mean. :P

I can't believe that Break the Ice is honestly supposed to be the second single. It completely sucks next to Piece of Me, Radar, Ooh Ooh Baby, and Hot as Ice. On it's own, it barely even qualifies as a good album track, never mind a single. Her promotional team really does not care at all if they release this instead of some of the much better alternatives. If they do, they best be releasing many more singles. This album is not bad at all, and it could be highly successful with the right singles chosen.

Also, it's been projected by some guy at Billboard that the album is expected to sell somewhere between 200-300k in the first week alone. Those aren't bad sales for the current music market.

^^^Break The Ice is awesome. Should have been the lead single. Radar is filler when compared to 'Break The Ice'.
Actually, I'm loving how the tracks on this album have divided fans with what needs to be a single. Her last albums have been obvious. This time, personal taste come's into it.

Break the ice FTW.

That's practically blasphemy. Radar FTW forever!

Break The Ice FTW! That's what I want that's what i want

BTW, anyone else notice the super cute 'I like you' in Ooh Ooh Baby'?

I'm sorry but the covers are still pissing me off! It looks like she the put any though into how her cover should look.....Bleh, I don't want to talk about! :grumpy

OK, can someone please download http://www.zshare.net/download/441525545f68ff/ and put on DivShare. I will love whoever does it forever.

:weep...That means you won't love me forever!!!

I do it, I do it!

Who else want's a PM?

Not me! No, thank you! I don't want to ruin my hype for the album despite the album cover. You should too, Mr. Spoiler or Spoilers!!! :grumpy

Thank You austin :D

there are none

I have to agree here. Radar is not a very appealing song. Break the Ice is the shiz.

But Get Back is the supreme shiz.

its not i just checked itunes sorry :thud

edit: that was another remix i checked :S

now i dunno lol

That news about Break the Ice being the next single disappeared off Wikipedia, so yay!

^is that the 'ex' single where it had a white background and a close-up on Brit with the noticeable fake blond wig???

i'm so going to get this album on its first day .. i'm loving a lot of songs on it ..
I don't care how bad her personal life is but these music makes me love her again

I can't believe some people don't absolutely love Radar. The minute I heard it I was like "Oh yeah, this song is the absolute most awesome thing I've heard in a long while".

But who actually thinks they'll release a Deluxe Edition? If not now, then in the irritating way they did with Beyonce's B'Day.

glad to see at Britney got a new thread ^^
i still love her .. :yes


I <3 her new album
i've it on computer :D

waw new thread..
make 500 post and we get to the 3rd thread

Oh, hae the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ bonus tracks leaked in CD quality ? my boyfriend bought me the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ vers, but we have to wait 2 weeks for it to be released >_< (and it came out here in Aus yesterday !)

Lol, alternately, I can't understand how some folks absolutely love Radar. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a decent song and I can listen to it (but sure can't dance to it), but that's it. It's just not all that appealing to me.

Now, Toy Soldier, omG, that song kills it for me. :luv2 "This time a need a SOLDIER! A really bad-ass SOLDIER! That know how to take, take care of me..." Excuse me while I go dance around and act like a rabid fanboy.

Well I have no clue why but the post I posted was erased (I'm sick of mods erasing posts that have no reason to be erased)

But anywho my fave songs are Radar, Piece Of Me, Get back, Ooh Ooh baby, and Hot As ice. Idc what ppl say I adore this cd. Idc if its fake and overproduced. It's one shallow indulgence I am not above.

As for Radar VS Break The Ice...... RADAR RADAR RADAR RADAR!!!! FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! Someone else sees it like I do. God I love Radar so much I can't even express it in words, haha :D

Break The Ice FTW, That's what I want That's what I want

Gotta still love me for quoting Radar :D

I'm pulling an all nighter so I can d/l the album on itunes UK. I have a school placement at 6am :laugh

JUST BOUGHT IT.

Everybody and Get Back = HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I KNOW RIGHT!?!? Don't you just love it!?!? :luv2 The supreme shiz!!

^^^^Both tracks are amazing compared to the demo's. How the hell did certain songs make the final cut whilst these 2 didn't?

I can't wait to get My J-version.

I may learn to drive just so I can have his album blazing down the street :laugh

I agree that this album isn't her best, but it's so nice to hear new Britney material. I really like some of the songs, as for the others, they're okay, I'm sure they'll grow on me.
Right now I'm addicted to Piece of Me, Break the Ice and Toy Solder (K-Fed anyone?).

Same! Wes hurry up with those iTunes exclusives! :3

Stupid question... why do japanese releases always have bonus tracks?
okay, not always, but LOTS of j-versions have bonus tracks!

Eh, I can't order the album via iTunes here, at least not for now.

^ Well I guess to persuade them to buy it 'cos it's in English? I don't really know, but it's not fair. :[

I really like her new album! it's great!!! I'm really into her right now..

OM G OMG OMG

I didnt even think her album was gonna be SO ****IN GOOD. Im impressed. All the songs are perfect..... geez..... well....I am adicted now
o.o

To be honest, the B-Sides didn't call me much attention but I love Toy Soldier, Hot As Ice, Piece of Me, Ooh Ooh Baby and Heaven On Earth so much that I don't have words to describe that.

But the best track title goes to... HOT AS ICE BABE! The lyrics are awesome, funny and sarcastic as well. I love that. Piece of Me lyrics sounds so horrible to me, the one only thing I like in the song is the awesome arrangement.

Britney's album was released today! CELEBRATION! :hbday

It's been out here (legally). for the past 3 days. I heart living in Ireland.

I have come to the conclusion that Get Naked and Freakshow are awful :laugh

Also, what did they do to 'Everybody'? That 'J-J-J-R' tag sounds like something from free software that puts a watermark on mp3's until you buy the product. Shame, coz otherwise that song is HOT.

The Itunes version has the 3 bonus tracks.. any of u guys going to get it??

Freakshow is the shite! :grumpy (Still here, waiting...)

Hot as ice is such a clever song. One of the best.

i only like pieces of me and radar

that is about it.

So even though I already had all the songs in high-quality MP3 form, I still bought the album today. I'm not sure why, since with the effort she's been putting into her career, I certainly wasn't doing it to support her. I guess it's just because I'm an avid CD collector. I really need to stop buying CDs when I already have them on my computer. It's a waste of money :(

Complete agreement.

^ If you're going to download her entire album, or any artist's entire album, and enjoy it, you should buy it.

Does anyone else think that only putting 12 songs on Blackout is too few?

anyone noticed that Britneys new album is cheaper than most CD albums atm?

since Britney wont be promoting it, ZOMBA her label, came up with some ideas to make it sell! EG, controversy with the album booklet. Distributing the CD at cheaper prices.

i'll preorder blackout next week...hehehe

Britney was named Maxim's 5th unsexiest woman alive. Awww... At least she came ahead of Madge, Amy Winehouse and etc. I guess. :[ I don't agree with half the people on the list. :|

Edit; Here's the official Maxim link.

I didn't know Maxim had a list for that.

Eek, gonna try now. LOL I'm putting Ganguro make-up on for Halloween. i look like your avatar.

Me :P And then austin when I finally get the tracks burned and ripped. He has 1 3rd.
Also sent FanBanWa the digital booklet *Keeps Fanny Love alive* Love the fanny kids. It's what God intended.

CDs are always cheapest the first week they come out. Maybe it's different in Australia, I don't know... :\

Yep....especially at Target but the thing is they censor out profanity! ToT Quite sad, indeed! Oh, well, I'll stop at Best Buy when I get the chance to!

Hey, does anyone have the sales report yet???

Is there even one released? Considering the fact that the album was released yesterday, it seems doubtful to me.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/..._id=1003665998

:yes

i guess but this album is really cheap at every CD store here, at HMV, their albums are generally $26 when they are out but Britneys was &18, at CC music they are the same but are selling it at $15, big W usally sell their albums at $18 so they will sell at $15 most probably as well :S

Why no ones like Get Naked? I think that this song is so unusual so I like it a lot.

I got blackout for seven pounds, I don't like dance music one but I love peices of me. I really hope she does well with this album and gets to the top and gets her life back together

'Heaven On Earth' is Britney's favourite track on 'Blackout'. Just like me. :]

^ :laugh True though, on her KIIS.FM interview she left and gave her phone to her friend to have a shower. And on halloween she was wearing a sumbrero(sp?) and when a paparazzi said they liked her sumbrero she said 'what's a sumbrero?' D:

Are you a stoner too austin? That song is awesome but just sounds sooo out of place. Coming after a stellar 4 tracks, Heaven On Earth is just ... there. Like a sore thumb.

^ D:~ -Calls Brit and rats on you-

Kaori; Well, lets think of her as a musician and not a person. :D

Britney love's me. Were going to the tanning shop tomorrow, then were going to the Starbucks and were gonna do permanent damage to our hair.

:roflmao

Yes, she's still a bald-headed crackhead! :laugh

Are there any reports of her first and second day sales? I'm so anxious to know her first-week sales!!!

She sold 124k her first day in the U.S. alone.

^Thankies! :glomped

Hmmmm....maybe she can pull off 500k her first week! *crosses fingers* I'm still waiting for them to release info on whether or not there'll be a CD+DVD version though! :)

Luv; Billboard estimates 350k.

Did anyone else hear yesterdays radio interview. If I get censored here for the *** I don't give a ****.

WHO THE **** does this ***** think she is. People have supported her. I've just looked at my Brit collection and I've spent several hundred pounds on that ****ing ignorant drunken ****ing *****. She goes on air, she couldn't be ****ing arsed being awake on time. Then she put's her ****ing stoner bastard payroll *****'s on the line to talk for her.

You may be Britney, but like you said. Your a ****ing *****.

I'm losing patience. I have been one of those faggy fans 'Oh leave her alone, she'll come through.' I've bought Blackout. 3 time's. And this!!!!! This is her promotion. Sickened. Absolutely sickened.

Dear Austin,


The billboard(s) can kiss my ass! :grumpy *crosses fingers and hope for 500K its first week*

Sincerly,

Luv ~Venus~

What? What did she say/do now? :[

^^^^^^^

Prepare to be sickened

She left half-way through! :laugh

It won't play for me! :weep

See why I'm sickened. Alli and Sam seemed like 2 stoners.

In the words of Cloud; 'BETCH!' I'm really dissapointed.

Me neither :grumpy

Good. I wish I'd never heard it either.

austin, it's more 'that ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** **************************************'

It was that bad?

Not at all ....


















































YES. It was awful.

milky; Basically it was 1/4 Britney 2/4 Her friends and 1/4 noise. -shudder- And then she let down Lance, the guy that came out to her, she couldn't be bothered to talk to him in about 2 years. :|

Now I really wanna hear it!!! *cries*

ETA: What'd she say about her album?

1/4 Britney?

Hey. Haha, yeah fast food. Uh huh, you know. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hahahaha


^^^^Britney Transcript. Like for y'all ya know.

She didn't bother talking to her fans, AKA us. :[

^ Ouch. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you :/

You guys are forgetting that she IS a bald-headed crackhead!

Tbh that's not an excuse, not for that, if you heard it. I'm really regretting buying 'Blackout' over 'Headstrong' now. Thanks Britters. D:~

^^^With tacky Hair extensions.

:rofl

:roflmao

Wish you had waited huh?! XD You should have just illegal downloaded the songs and be happy with that. Well, its okay....your supporting her music not her personality! :yes Personally, no one likes Britney. They like her music...and ass (as stated on VH1!)! SO look at it that way austin!

I'm a masochist. I still wanna love Britney. Hit me with your drunken antics baby one more time.

Oh, so you all heard it too? I'm glad I wasn't the only one. It really was disappointing that she couldn't even say something for her fans. The second phone call was even worse, since Britney wasn't even there at all. Alli needs to quit speaking for her. The silence and lack of caring should speak for itself. I know it did for me, and it honestly makes me regret buying Blackout, especially since I already had all the songs :\

I'm sorry Jake but I laughed at your last statement. You, austin, and Wes rushed to get that album like there was no tomorrow. I feel sad for you guys though. Like I said in my other post, you guys are supporting her music but not her...look at it that way! ;)

Since I can't hear what happened, can someone post what she said or rather what was said on the radio?

Well, I may have went out and bought it myself, but my Mom gave my the money to as a reward for getting a 100 on my History midterm, so really, I didn't lose anything. But then again, supporting Brit nowadays is pretty much losing part of your soul so I guess I did lose something :D

im losing a bit of Britney fandom myself BUT she is going through a major breakdown, and is probably badly influenced by her friends who should be picking up her life with her. But meh, its her, not me.

I think some folks are really overreacting to that interview. It wasn't nearly that bad. I read the comments here which lead me to expect something horrible like her having a "Whatever; I don't care" attitude. 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. We all should have known not to expect too much from this interview. Did you really think she was going to do some amazing, heartfelt, tear-jerking, change-the-world interview? LOWER your expectations. Disappointing as it may be, this is Britney right now, as it's been months and months before. There's nothing to be surprised about. If you're expecting otherwise from her you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.

But the interviewer asked her some things he shouldn't have asked, said some things he shouldn't have said, and his attitude toward her was condescending at times: "So your album's been out after all this time and all this drama that we've seen in the news and you've just watched a movie?" / "We know you've been on a good diet Britney; we've seen all of your drive-thrus" [What a smart remark] / "And do you feel like you're doing everything you can for your kids?" Comments like that were uncalled for.

But I think she did a good job explaining the way she feels about the media and other things, and she was sweet during her interview despite some of his rude remarks.

"At the end of the day you just have to know in your heart that you're doing the best you can." :yes

^ Excuse me, but I don't call deciding to have a shower in the middle of a planned interview 'doing it anyway'. But yeah, maybe I should lower my expectations, even if they are at almost rock-bottom.

Oh, and the more I listen to 'Blackout' the less I seem to like it now. :|
