What are you even talking about tho?
Were you alive the past 15 years?
Britney only truly fell off in the public eye with BJ.

Uhu. Femme Fatale still has some awesome awesome tracks. Inside Out and Trip to your Heart ... <3

It really is just Britney Jean that was a nasty surprise.


BTW is there any news on a new Britney album? Or is the Vegas show the only thing she does?

I always saw Blackout as the beginning of the end tbh. I mean, musically it's all been downhill from there.

Personally Blackout was where I started liking Britney. Before she made popppy pop, since Blackout she's been more electro/dance pop. I like both kinds of music, but the latter moreso.

Still, I don't have her pré-blackout albums, but songs like Slave 4 You, Touch of My Hand and Breathe on Me are def in my Britney playlist.

The first half of Circus is super cute. Kill The Lights Shattered Glass and Unusual You save the alber. Plus iconic bonus track Phonography. Plus an iconic bonus Gaga song from when she could still write.

Phonography is Britney's best song full stop. Seriously, I don't even hesitate.

Lemme listen to it right now.

soul-sis has always had a bizarre double standard for britney. he'll insist that no matter how bad gaga gets 'bad romance will always have been her song so you can't drag her', but despite the fact that britney has put out more legitimate [ b o p s ] than your fave has had hot meals, he'll still claim total garbage like 'britney jean was so bad it invalidates the whole of britney's career'

but, well

one iffy alber is enough to 'invalidate' all of the good ones, when his own fave has had a career of pushing out barely-better-than-britney-jean's? let me just noT put up with these delusionS.

eh, her albums are boring to me. Couple stand out tracks here and there but nothing to call home about. Even when she incorporates new sounds into her music it still comes out bland.

Metacritic is a stain. This comparison doesn't make sense for a number of reasons.

Since we're on topic...why BJ isn't as bad as everyone
the fighers
claim.

Alien
despite it's jump
slays; WB is the best workout song of 2014; Perfume is a nice upbeat ballad (yes that's a oxymoron but works for this song); ISBE is trash - moving on; TTB is kinda of like the 'I Got that Boom Boom' of the album but not as good, but still alright; Body Ache is a bit too Will.i.am to be great, but the chorus is pretty good; Til It's Gone sounds a bit too contrived to try and be a Britney hit, but disregarding that is good; I like Passenger; CWY is kinda shit; I like Don't Cry and BMS; Really like Hold On Tight (think it's even written entirely by Brit); NTIFY is an Avicii rip off (based on the timing of the realese anyway), but is great.

Despite my opinion that Back to Basics and Stripped shit on anything Britney ever did, it's hard to even make that comparison. Those albums are R&B, and most of Britney's are pure Pop albums.

It goes back to the belief I always had that pitting Britney and Christina against each other never really made much sense, as the only thing similar about the two acts are that they're both blonde white girls from the Disney machine. Musically, they couldn't possibly be more different.

In my mind, Christina has always been an R&B artist in Pop clothing. And I think that's been one of the biggest stumbling blocks for her when it comes to critical reception.

Now this I agree with.

The Britney/Xtina rivalry has always felt a bit forced to me just because they were both around at the same time. Britney has always been the been the best pop star (both in terms of songs for that genre and media focus) but Christina has always shined for me when she isn't after that market (her ballads have always been amazing and when she lets her vocals shine in other genres).

Food and Flesh Tone were both amazing. I'd love to see her live but I don't think she leaves the US that often.

Such accuracy. BJ is only mostly shit, not entirely.

despite being too ratchet
slays; Phresh out the Runway is the best workout song of 2012; Stay is a nice interesting ballad (nope, not an oxymoron and it works for this song); Right Now is trash - moving on; Diamonds is kinda of like the 'Only Girl in the World' of the album but not as good, but still alright; Lost in Paradise is a bit too Will.i.am to be great, but the chorus is pretty good; Jump is a bit too contrived to try and be a Rihanna hit, but disregarding that is good; I like Get it Over With ; Nobody's Business is kinda shit; I like What Now; I like Loveeeeeee Song; Love without Tragedy is a secret bop filler; Really like No Love Allowed (Rihanna even helped write the song); Numb is an Linkin Park rip off (based on the timing of the release & name anyway), but is great.

LAWD, I wrote that post as a joke, but seriously sistren get into Kelis Was Here. Listening now and getting my life with this surprising classic.

I suppose the great thing about Kelis always being a bit too the left of trends is that, despite keeping her from being as popular as she deserves to be, it leaves her music feeling timeless. I'm listening to this record, made in 2006, and a lot of it stands up to what's being released today.

Gems like Till The Wheels Fall Off, Goodbyes and Lil Star could be tracks released in the last year, and I'd believe it.
