Britney Spears-Femme Fatale out today!

[tilthefirefades]

12 years ago I watched the video for Baby One More Time, and fell in love. I have always looked at Britney as an older sister of mine, one I have watched as I've gotten older and looked up to, learned from. I am incredibly proud of her, and despite all the people that hold her up to an unreachable standard, she is still making music. This will be her hardest album to pull off though, considering Gaga's revolution of pop. And even though the album was leaked not too long ago, I haven't listened to the tracks. I've heard 5 songs so far, but only once or twice each. This will be the perfect album to keep me patient for May 3rd, is anyone else a fan or excited?

I am pumped!! While you may have seen her as an older sister, I have seen her as... uh.. yeah ;)

I'm going out to breakfast with one of my friends this morning then going out to buy it right after :)

[Heartboy]

It's a catch22 for me about Britney. I love alot of her songs, hell, I have some of her albums & I felt bad for her when she went thru all that stuff a few years ago.

On the other hand, I really don't know why she needs to look skanky or sing skanky stuff. It's time to grow up, we don't need to know that you want to take a vaction on someones Disco Stick! :shrug::D

[WildHearted]

I absolutely love Britney, and I'll be picking up the album on my way home today! I grew up listening to her music and will always be a fan of her as a performer. From what I've heard of the album, it's very promising and I hope that it is a success for her.

So glad that she's bounced back from the troubles she had a few years ago.

did you all see she is touring with Enrique?

[Kena]

I'm not exactly, or at all, a fan of her music but I did think she was a real hotty before she had babes.;) She hasn't quiet got back the shape she once had...yep, that's coming from a mostly hetero female (me) who's had babes of her own and knows how hard losing weight is...I'm just saying. I'll listen to the album for free on AOL and give it some consideration.

I love Britney's new album. The laptop that does her singing gets better with each album :laugh:

No, seriously though, I love it. Some really catchy songs, and they feel less "safe" than the songs on Circus did. I think Femme Fatale is the followup to Blackout that Circus should have been.

Gasoline, (Drop Dead) Beautiful and Trouble For Me stand out as my favourites.

You quickly have become one of my favorite ledgies. hahaha.
I was telling Anthony that Gasoline is my absolute favorite track off the album, followed by Trouble for Me, too :p

[Artemis]

They went TOO safe with the singles, I think. HIAM and Till The World Ends are okay, but there's sooo much better on the album. :(

Without a doubt, I definitely see Gasoline being a single.
I don't think I know you're name. I'm Chris :)

[tilthefirefades]

I am honestly blown away with this album. In my opinion, it is easily her best yet. Almost every song is a favorite already, but my top 3 are (Drop Dead) Beautiful, Trip To Your Heart, and Gasoline.

Anyone know how the album did on it's first day?

[kak125]

I really am liking this cd the more I listen to it. I like the bonus itunes tracks too. I think Selfish is really good as well as Inside Out, Till the World Ends, and Gasoline.
Hits Daily Double usually releases the first day sales so they should have the info shortly.

I hope so. I'm not a huge Brit Brit fan, but I loved Blackout.

Britney will debut at #1 next week. They are projecting 275-300k sales.

Britney’s back… and on top of the HITS’ Album chart for next week, as her new Jive/JLG album, Femme Fatale looks set to score sales in the 275-300k range.
The album has actually been well-received by some critics, earning a four-star review in Rolling Stone, while last night, she performed on Jimmy Kimmel and appeared in footage shot for Jackass 3 in which she was bungied while inside a porta-potty.

That gives RCA/Jive the #1 spot for the second week in a row. This week, the label held four out of the Top Five spots on the HITS Album sales chart.

The week’s real surprise is Atlantic hip-hop artist Wiz Khalifa’s Rolling Papers, which is on target for sales between 190-215k, coming off the smash single, “Black and Yellow,” now closing in on three million downloads, and the latest hit, “Roll Up,” closing in on 330k. He performed last night before 3,000 fans at a sold-out Roseland Ballroom in New York. As part of iTunes’ “Countdown to Rolling Papers” promotion, the rapper released the Benny Blanco-produced “No Sleep,” which shot to the top of the overall singles chart a day after it was released on the digital retail site.

The physical version of Radiohead’s The King of Limbs hit stores this week, on the band’s own TBD label through RED, with estimates in the 50-60k range, with the previous digital sales on their website not included.

Priority/Capitol/EMI’s Snoop Dogg album, Doggumentary, will bow with between 45-50k, while Columbia Grammy-winning gospel group Mary Mary’s Something Big will do in the 35-40k range.

The market was up 13% vs. last week, up 7% vs. same week last year and now down 5% year to date, marking the sixth consecutive week that album sales have beat the corresponding week last year. So crack open the bubbly and let’s settle on the correct spelling of Khadafy, Qadafi, Gaddafi or whatever his name is once and for all.

Hi Chris, my name is Mark =]

If she hits #1 this week, it's her sixth #1 album ever, I think? That's pretty impressive, all her Studio album apart from Blackout have hit #1.

I really can't get over how much better this is than Circus. I wish Britney would start to take creative control over her music again though, in her newest video, she just looked so dead behind the eyes :(

[Heartboy]

I heard she totally sucked on 'GMA'!

She looked like sh*t!

This is coming from a bunch of Madonna fans!:thumbsup:

People have been saying the same things about Britney since day 1. I think by now people should realize the following things:

-Britney lip syncs
-Britney doesn't write most of her music
-Britney either dances amazing, or flops
-No matter what we still love her, and it's called being a Britney fan

I made this thread for fans that were excited for Femme Fatale, which is truly a great album. I would recommend watching the GMA performance for yourself, because I really didn't see anything off about it :)

I totally agree with you! I like Britney! :cool:

I love when fans show their passion for the ones they love!:nod:


Rawk On! :)

Casual Brit fan here. I only have a handful of her CDs that I have received as free promos. I’ve actually never listened to a full Britney CD, with the exception of “The Singles” that came out last year I think it was. I like Brit and I’m rooting for her but there is no denying the fact that Brit’s heart is not in this right now and hasn’t really been since about 2004/05. I read a recent AOL article about Brit and her recent GMA performance and they pointed out that she has not danced with any conviction since the “Do Something” video and they are right. Brit seems lifeless on stage, as if she is just going thru the motions. I feel for her because I know she is a mega talent but it’s just not happening for her at this time. The music is ok, I enjoy “Trip To Your Heart” and one of the bonus songs on the deluxe version which is “Up N’ Down” but overall, I’m not feeling a lot of growth. I think she is actually just plain tired of doing what she’s been doing. Look at this, Brit had her first greatest hits CD at the age of 25, which is how old Stevie was when Buckingham/Nicks was released. At the age of 27, Brit’s life was in shambles, Stevie was just becoming well known with the first FM album. Much like young athletes that start out very young to hopefully earn that gold medal at the Olympics and then retire at the old age of “20”, this is what Brit’s life has been like. She’s done so much before most musicians even get started. I feel like she’s never had a life of her own really. My heart goes out to her. I think she is simply tired but she has to go on because there are people counting on her. I wish she could be allowed to grow as an artist instead of having the pressure she is now dealing with, which is to compete with the RiRi’s and the Gaga’s (UGH). Anyway, I’m rambling, I just feel for Brit and I hope she can come out of this haze she is in and really find herself.

I frequent a Spice Girls (:cool:) message board, and the gay bitch fights on there are epic. Lady Gaga vs. Madonna vs. Britney vs. Rihanna vs. Beyonce vs. Shakira vs. Floptina (Aguilera). It's funny just because it's so ridiculous. :woohoo:

LOL

Thanks for posting that! I needed a good laugh!

This place is depressing to me for some reason. :/

[Nico]

There's something about Britney that is so likable. I just see her walking candidly down the street looking like a regular girl in some Uggs and want nothing but good things for her. It's ridiculous that the media/paparazzi hound her and the like when they are down and no one ever has much empathy to maybe back off and rationalize that this is just a 20-something chick who never really had a normal life trying to...live the way she knows how. Yes, she chose to go into this field and I understand it comes with the territory, but there are lines you just don't cross. The fact that they all stood there gawking and crowding as she was having a meltdown to such an extent was just...despicable. :mad:

Anyway, I obviously am not a huge fan of her music but I work out to this type of music so it fills an extremely valuable place in my life. :nod: I think she seems sweet and love her bangin' body.

Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

Britney will be at #1 this week.
Check it out.

I know exactly what you mean here! My friend and I were discussing Britney the other week, and we were both like... you just want to see her do well, you get all "You go girl!" when she's successful :nod:

I think it's because those memories of her darker umbrella-wielding days are still very fresh in people's minds. The thing that was so spectacular about Britney's breakdown was just how public it was; not to mention shocking. When Charlie Sheen started acting crazy... eh. But when Britney did it, it was genuinely shocking. :distress:

[cristochango]

After a week (?) of listening to it.
I love almost all of the tracks. Great album.

[Musicman408]

Never really liked new Millennium Brit, with all the auto-tune- she was a hottie though back in the day! Haven't heard much from her younger sister these days either!

Yeah, weirdly I had no sympathy at all for him. In fact, I can't stand that vile man in any way. His show sucked. His acting sucked. He isn't funny or real or anything. He's a hot mess and he's got a ton of little kids that are the only victims in his whole...situation.

But with BS it's like...she was sort of brought up by the media and they loved and exploited her and then they turned their back on her and really dug the knife in the way they treated her meltdown. She seems like a genuinely sweet, albeit ditzy girl. I like her. And I don't just like random people who have good dance songs.
