let me exercise my ignore list tbqh, truly disgusting.

Sorry but she's not a legend yet. Icon sure, but she's not on Madonna's level yet. Plain & simple.

 

[You Know Nothing]

That being said, Femme Fatale was excellent. Her Ray of Light era.

It's a completely generic Dr. Puke album. Trash.

Blackout is her Ray of Light.

 

[Meowster]

Femme Fatale was a better album than Circus. So many good single choices. I still don't use that much but it was definitely enjoyable. Britney's Jeans was just terrible though.

 

[Frodo]

Femme Fatale gave us Trip to Your Heart.

<3

 

[Professor Beef]

I would most certainly call Brokenknee a legend.

 

[Zutroy]

She was the Pop princess of the 2000's no doubt. She was the center of pop culture back then too, but we're looking at the present, where she's not as impactful or relevant as she used to be. She'll be noted by the media as an icon definitely, but if her next album does similar performance as Britney Jean then it'll be clear that people just aren't checking for her anymore other than her loyal fan base.

In the her last two 'eras' she's had 2 numbers one, 2 number threes and 2 top tens. That's US charts, if you expand that worldwide the record is even better. Hardly irrelevant or a bad record.

I dunno why people are trying to stain her relevance because the numbers don't tell the same story. Her only true flop era was BJ, but that was nothing more than a promo album pushed out for her hugely successful residency and gave us Work Bitch.

What do you mean by promo album? I never heard of that before, & if I recall correctly, Britney did little promo for BJ anyway. It seemed like she didn't really care at all for sales outside of Work Bitch recognition.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

tbh how can any of you even come for Britney when she released Slay Bitch, the greatest motivational song that has ever graceT the internet tbfh.

She only had ONE number one and it was frontloaded. Hold It Against Me wasn't a legitimate hit in the way "Till The World Ends" or "Scream & Shout" were. It dropped out fast and was forgotten just as quickly.

Furthermore, HIAM sold 400k copies on launch. WB sold a third of that. The interest dropped dramatically in between those eras. Look at the numbers between FF and BJ. It's susbtantial. The touring revenue drop between Circus and Career Fatality Tour is clear. I mean her last real tour had to go with Groupons of 80% discount.

A successful residency only speaks on the fact that her hardcore AND casual fanbase is now economically active enough to a) Go to Vegas and b) Afford reservations and entertainment in Sin City (which is the REAL objective of the residency) for a proper amount of vacation time. It doesn't correlate to relevancy or chart potential.

I mean it was obvious that the creation and timing of the release of the album was used to bring attention to the residency. She only released two singles from the album - WB being the only one that got promo, Perfume was just popped on Vevo to keep the fans happy. She didn't perform a single televised performance of any track from BJ.

She had her feature in S&M the same year that went to number one. Yeah it was mainly Rih's song, but it only managed to reach number one when it got the push from the Britney feature.

Oh no wonder Britney & Iggy are collaborating together. Gotta practice their whipping skills.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Spoiler

Listen to Froot (the song) on Spotify and don't bother with the rest of the album

I love most songs on Froot tbh I don't regret it

 

[Partition]

I kinda hope the iggy brit song is trash tbqfh, I don't want Iggy to have any more success

 

[Meowster]

Does that Iggy Azalea Stan (I think Azalean is their name?) post here? They are so funny lol.

 

[vinnygambini]

Ooops... I Did It Again, Britney, In The Zone & Blackout are my favorite albums from Britney Spears.

Britney Jean is just a tragedy. Let's not talk about it.

 

[Yado]

Britney Jean is just a tragedy. Let's not talk about it.

Tragedy is a bit much, she seems to be doing ok these days.

 

[rhandino]

Britney Jean was such a dissapointment.

Not that I expected much in the first place tbh

 

[SaintZ]

I kinda hope the iggy brit song is trash tbqfh, I don't want Iggy to have any more success

Prepare to be disappointed

And BJ isn't all THAT bad. I still use Perfume, Work Bitch and Passenger.

 

[vinnygambini]

Tragedy is a bit much, she seems to be doing ok these days.

will.i.am replaced Max Martin as the producer.

It's a damn tragedy, and the result shows.

Genuinely hope he returns for this one. I'm hoping she earns another number 1.

Please don't be an interlude or intro.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The Everytime video is fucking iconic tbh

Spoiler

she should've stayed dead at the end tho

 

[Mumei]

You had me going for a second. I was like, for a song with that title, it certainly sounds like she took it seriously.

Not you using a basic version of your own GIF.

 

[Mau ®]

Please don't be an interlude or intro.

Cant get enough of that instrumental.

It's a song. Mitus (the producer) and Florence have said as much.

You can kinda hear the chorus (?) when she shot the video for it in Paris.

 

[twobear]

you want a hot body?
you want a bugatti?
you want a maserati?
you better work bitch.

you want a lamborghini?
sipping martinis
look hot in a bikini?
you better work bitch.

you wanna live fancy?
live in a big mansion?
party in france?
you better work bitch
you better work bitch
you better work bitch

now get to work bitch!

 

[Mau ®]

I'll never understand the love for Work Bitch. It's just so blah.

It's amazing tbh. I LOATHED it at first, I thought it was trash and found it unlistenable. Then I actually listened to it properly and realised it was super catchy and the production is hype inducing tbh

 

[Mau ®]

Uptown Funk has been discounted on Amazon. Other services will probably follow.

Snatch the record, King Bruno

It's one of the best pop songs to run to tbh.

Along with Nicole Shcerzlgkjslkgjsdlkjf's Wet.

 

[Floridian]

Uptown Funk > See U Again. If that song is the one to dethrone it...

 

[Meowster]

Uptown Funk is trash.. but it is still better than One Sweet Day. Get that record.

 

[3phemeral]

Chalk that up to Minus' horrible mobile web interface. I couldn't find the one I remade and thus, settled for the lowest of quality.

 

[The Flop]

When will your favs deliver an acoustic masterpiece. Slay Queens.

Such a lowkey slay even if it is.

I'm here for R8tchet.

I really hope she calls it R8tchet it would slay a biT.

Are people still using ratchet to refer to black women? Wow.

My thoughts exactly. Wow.

 

[royalan]

Rihanna is ratchet as fuck and even calls herself that. Enough with the immature, I-just-took-my-first-Black-Studies-course faux-rage. Y'all actin like someone just called Michelle Obama ratchet.

This woman:

Is ratchet personified

 

[The Flop]

No... I call anyone Ratchet, and I prefer to dance to Ratchet music that the Rh8t will bring us all!

No lies spotted.

I still think R8tchet would be the best name for the alber.

But it'll probably be like

Rihanna "Tidal"

I don't think it's gonna be called R8tchet when songs like 45S, higher, & American Oxygen are included.

 

[3phemeral]

Work Bitch had such potential but she's become lazy with the delivery. What I loved about the tracks that I adore from prior Britney eras is her ability to embody the mood of the song e.g. Gimme More, Toxic, Showdown, Touch of My Hand. Hell, even From the Bottom of my Broken Heart. Work Biatch's musical phrasing and that desperate sing-along bridge both relegate it to meh status. Wasted potential.

The sad thing about the "Uptown Funk" lead is that it blocked Ed Sheeran of that No. 1 he deserved

Spoiler

Listen "X" on Spotify T_T

Poor Mark Ronson, it's like he's not even associated with his song.

Bruno ha power.

i mean......the fact that mark ronson is one of the most famous producers in the world ............................

The Queen is looking so flawless this season. *.*

C'mon. Pretty much everybody refers to Uptown Funk as a Bruno song lmao

 

[Leona Lewis]

Britney has been trash for over a decade. Please let it go.

 

[3phemeral]

This came on a random YouTube playlist. First time I'm hearing it and when it started, I was like "Jennifer Hudson did a cover of Emotions?"

Seriously. That intro when she sang "Heeeeeeey" sounds like JHud. What in the world.
