The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

[Nocturnal]

Breaking Records. Eat that pompous haters

This is a friendly response, <---See, I'm smiling, but that's pretty much an oxymoron when it comes to Gaga fans. We Gaga fans know as a *fact* that Gaga is more critically acclaimed, talented vocally/musically than Britney, so there's absolutely no reason for us to hate (just check the VMA and Grammy noms/wins stats alone). K, I admit we probably come off a little pretentious, but, to paraphrase Beyoncé, we simply talk like this cuz we can back it up. And most of the time it's only in response to Britney stan fans calling her "The Queen" when we all know *damn* well Madonna is the Queen! lol

Britney must not be cast aside though. She (re)paved the way for Gaga. I definitely give her credit where it's due and I am a fan of Britney's.

Btw, the word "Legend" gets thrown around *way* too much these days. I saw someone refer to Ke$ha as a legend the other day. lol

I think it's safe to say Britney is a legend. She's broken so many records by now and has made her place in the business and clearly isn't going anywhere anytime soon. A 12 year STRONG career in the music business is what she has. Gaga is great and has a great career right now but she's still 2 or whatever years in she's got a long ways to go to catch up.

PS Brit fans can equally back it up

Rolling Stone said her album Blackout was the most influential pop album of the decade. Her version of "Telephone" that was not even released officially made the top 25 singles of the year. So there's your critical acclaim. PS. I'm pretty certain Gaga's album was released in that same decade

Breaking many many records and has critical acclaim.

‎"...With "Hold It Against Me" already under her belt and making a lot of noise, expect Spears to have one of the biggest years of any artist out there — and perhaps of all time." ~MTV.COM

So I think I covered everything....... She has talent. She has charisma. She doesn't need to remind everyone numerous times why she is in the business and lets her work speak for itself. She never starts shit with anyone even though she do with her all the time. Her career has outlived many many artists when she was said her career couldn't. And she is a legend whether people like to admit it or not.

Wow, I've never heard 'Let Go' b4! After listening to it's raw and unedited vocals alone (u can't get more raw and unedited than the reverb effect @ 1:59), let me apologize to all the Britney fans out there. It's now clear Britney, is more talented vocally than Gaga and in her 12 year old career, Britney has accomplished more than Gaga has is her 3 year old career.
Now, I'm going over to Wikipedia, as has been suggested, so I can compare the two. I will return after some cuddle time and Aussie Open Tennis, I promise!

PS I think the Mtv quote, was a little wink at Kanye's "Best video of all time" speech @ '09 VMAs too.

Awww I love that video of her playing the piano. So beautiful

Lol you're funny.

PS: "let go" sounds like shit. She sounds like a cat crying after getting gangbanged.

[stephe24]

Ok. I'm done trying. Seriously. You're not going to see my point and I'm definitely not going to see yours so we'll just agree to disagree.

BTW Nocturnal...good mature response. Can't wait to see your traveling comedic road show.

Teehee...sorry, that was a little bitchy of me. I sincerely apologize. You'll get your free front row tickets in 3 weeks.

Now, like chastising an unruly child, this has to be done...for their own good. At times you must be firm (or bitchy), and the child will initially hate you for it, but you're doing it because you love them and they need to learn the laws of the land.

Now Stephen, please forgive me for what I'm about to do, but it must be done. I can't have someone call me out, and not respond. I'm not doing this to offend you, I'm doing this for the children....OHHH won't *somebody* think of the CHILREN!!!!!

Remember, my point was that Gaga is more critically acclaimed and talented vocally/musically than Britney. I never said Britney wasn't talented or critically acclaimed.

I think it's safe to say Britney is a legend. She's broken so many records by now and has made her place in the business and clearly isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I never said Britney wasn't a legend. I'm sure it seemed like I was insinuating that, and I was to certain degree (as I will elaborate on in closing...i sound like a fucking lawyer...). I personally don't put her up there with Cher, Madonna etc. Not quite yet. AFA breaking records, the same could be said about Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ke$ha...it seems every week someone's breaking some kinda record. Doesn't make them a Legend. Least not in my book.

A 12 year STRONG career in the music business is what she has.

Can't really argue with that. Though...there was that whole Blackout era...u'know, the lame VMA performance, and the fact that 'Black Out' debuted #2 with 290,000 copies and hasn't crossed the one million copies sold mark in the US yet since dropping in 2007...but I digress. Other than that, yes, it has been really strong.
(And all the talk that will come about "lack of promotion" for Black Out? K, that may explain why the general public didn't respond to it, but where were her fans? *They* sure as hell knew about it.)

Gaga is great and has a great career right now but she's still 2 or whatever years in she's got a long ways to go to catch up.

That's thoughtful and true. And thank you, we appreciate the compliment.

PS Brit fans can equally back it up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwJgrng2DNk - with raw and unedited vocals

Equally? K, Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, let the record show, once again, it is obvious by the reverb effect throughout, the performance above is *not* unedited and raw. And certainly nowhere *near* equal this Gaga performance of 'Paparazzi' which *is* raw and unedited, and Live.
Watch it all the way through. Highlight @3:55. I'd like to see and hear the vid of Britney doing that! After 12 years in the game, it must be out there somewhere. C'mon, show me the receipts!

No doubt. The 'Oops...I did it again' remix' performance was epic AFAIWC! I remember watching it on repeat forever back then. Now when I watch it, all I see is a lot of shaking, and hair tossin' and fuck, that 'ol raggedy ass cat next door does that on most of her good days!
Britney caused a stir, because her image was pretty much sugar sweet and innocent, and then all of a sudden there she was on stage stripping down to a cleavage-revealing flesh-colored jumpsuit...dancing with a python, and kissin' Madonna. Of course it caused a stir.
The choreography in the 2001 VMA performance was Amazing though! I want to see her like that again! No way any of the females in the business could pull off that choreography at the moment!

K, here's Gaga playing piano and singing Live, a little shouty at times, but shit, at this point she's barely a songbird hatchling.....hey, don't let me get the 'Paparazzi' video posted above again cuz...okay...just sayin'...
@2:05 I want hear Britney do that Live. (Let me take this opportunity to remind everyone, I simply said Gaga was "more" talented vocally than Britney, and that the no smoking sign is still illuminated. Thank you.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...Britney_Spears

Thank you. First of all, as you have said already, Britney's been around for 12 years. Gaga's approaching 3 years. Needless to say over 12 years you're going to accumulate more awards and noms than someone whose career is only 3 years old. And so many of those awards are now defunct anyway.
Now, let us stroll merrily down the list of Top music awards...but no SKIPPING!.....thaaaat's it....just a nice, easy, leisurely stroll...... ok, now, I think it's safe to say those Top music awards are the: Grammys, The Brit Awards, Billboard Awards, Mtv Video Music Awards and we could (or not) throw in the World Music Awards.
I shouldn't count the "People's Choice" type of award shows because they're (arguably fixed) voted by the general public/tweens with a shit load of free time and not by critics, members of the business/her peers. And of course the core of my post was about Gaga being more "critically acclaimed" than Britney. I shouldn't count the Billboard awards either since it's basically defunct now (or TRL definitely).

Britney's 12 year old career vs. Gaga's 3 year old career:

World Music Awards: Britney has 3 nominations, 3 Wins (in 2000/2001). Gaga has 5 nominations, 5 wins (all in 2010) More

American Music Awards: Britney has 5 nominations, 1 win. Gaga has 6 nominations, 1 win. More (Nominations at least....nitpicking, I know )

The Brit Awards: Britney has 4 nominations, 0 wins. Gaga has 3 nominations, 3 wins (2010) More

Billboard Awards: Britney has 16 nominations, 10 wins (spanning 12 years). Gaga has 13 nominations, 13 wins (spanning 2, 3 years). More

Mtv Video Music Awards: Winning this award isn't really all that relevant here since last year's awards were voted on by the general public, but comparatively Gaga's been a bit more impressive here in her first 3 years, than Britney has in her 12 years afa nominations/wins of the major awards like VOTY are concerned.
Britney has 27 nominations, 4 wins (spanning 12 years). Gaga has 27 nominations, 11 wins (spanning 3 years). Though again yes, in 2010 they were voted on by the general public, but still. More Britney's been nominated for 'Video of the year' 3 times, 1 win. (spanning 12 years), Gaga's been nominated for 'Video of the year' 2 times, 1 win. (spanning 3 years).
In any case, viewer voted or not, we'll see at this years VMA's won't we? There's no avoiding it. Should be amazing!

People's Choice Awards: Britney has 6 nominations, 1 win (huh?) (spanning 12 years), Gaga has 6 nominations, 2 wins (spanning 3 years). More

Grammy Awards: Ahhh The TOP prize in music: Britney has 8 nominations, 1 win (spanning 12 years). Gaga has 12 nominations, 2 wins (spanning 3 years). Britney's 6 studio albums' AOTY nominations: 0 (spanning 12 years). Gaga's 1 studio album and 1 EP AOTY nominations: 2 (spanning 3 years). More and More

Rolling Stone said her album Blackout was the most influential pop album of the decade. Her version of "Telephone" that was not even released officially made the top 25 singles of the year. So there's your critical acclaim. PS. I'm pretty certain Gaga's album was released in that same decade
http://www.theprophetblog.net/rollin...ast-five-years

Sorry, no. Rolling Stone said it was "possibly the most influential pop album of the last five years." I'm not sayin it wasn't, I think it was her BEST album to date (completely underrated!). However in any case, that article was written by ONE individual, who could possibly be a HUGE Britney stan (they do have jobs). Possibly. 1 person's opinion. 1 person. Article

And as if you didn't think she still had it, Here is everything "Hold It Against Me" has done so far:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_it_against_me

Breaking many many records and has critical acclaim.

Here is the HIAM Critical reception Wikipedia entry you suggested I look at.

Rick Florino of Artistdirect gave the song four and half stars, calling it "one of Britney's catchiest club bangers yet" and saying "[it] proudly stands alongside Britney classics like 'Womanizer,' 'Gimme More,' and 'Toxic,' but there's a refined ethereal elegance to it that sees Britney stepping into new territory and pushing the boundaries of dance pop once more."

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone compared the song's riff to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (1976), and referred to the song as "prime Britney."

Jim Farber of the Daily News said that the song is reminiscent of Spears's previous hits, noting the double entendre lyrics and arrangement, and added, "With all that behind her, the 'Oops' girl may yet do it again."

Bill Lamb of About.com called it one of the most mature dance pop songs of Spears's career, praising the chorus structure and the electropop bridge. Lamb stated, "The pop music of 2011 has an early shot in the arm here. ['Hold It Against Me'] will quickly take its place among Britney Spears' best singles."

Popjustice positively compared the song to the leaked demo, saying that while the lyrics and melody were not different, Spears's finished version "is approximately 1000 times better than the demo. It's a harder, more urgent, extremely epic statement track that sounds like the work of a superstar."

"...With "Hold It Against Me" already under her belt and making a lot of noise, expect Spears to have one of the biggest years of any artist out there — and perhaps of all time." ~MTV.COM

Brad Wete of Entertainment Weekly said "'Against Me' [sic] is classic Britney — that is to say the vocal performance is far from stellar, but it serves as a nice accessory to [Luke and Martin]'s thumping Euro techno groove." He also added that Spears did not enter any new territory lyrically, and that there was not much growth when compared to singles such as "...Baby One More Time" [1998] or "I'm a Slave 4 U" (2001).

Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune commented, "It’s one of the tougher-sounding Spears singles yet and should do the job as a dancefloor-filler for listeners who are starting to wear out on the latest singles from Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas". However, he also dismissed the lyrical content and said that Spears sounds "bored [...] as is the case with most of her recent work."

Nick Levine of Digital Spy said that although "Hold It Against Me" was produced by Luke and Martin, the finished product was not similar to songs by regular collaborators Kesha and Katy Perry. He also deemed it as "clubby and au courant", while comparing it to Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" (2010).

Jim Cantiello of MTV commented that "Hold It Against Me" combines the electronic sound of contemporary radio with a "sing-songy" chorus that references Spears's bubblegum pop past.

Edna Gundersen of USA Today criticized the use of pick-up lines, but said the single "delivers enough dizzying dance-pop ecstasy to ensure another chart-topping ride."

Glenn Gamboa of Newsday stated that "Hold It Against Me" was "a bit safer [...] like her current low-key, non-tabloid persona."

Michael Cragg of The Guardian called it "decent enough."

The Globe and Mail's J.D. Considine called the reworking of The Bellamy Brothers' song "lame", but concluded that the track was "perfect ear candy", calling it "lust made audible".
Spears's vocals has been described as "a bit treated - it's a Britney single" but not heavily Autotuned.

The hook was noted by Ann Powers of Los Angeles Times to be reminiscent of "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" (1986) by Cutting Crew.

So what I'm hearing here is that it's, "decent enough", some of *her* best work, not much growth when compared to singles such as 98's "...Baby One More Time", a bit safe, weak lyrically, her vocals have been a bit (but not surprisingly) treated, "the vocal performance is far from stellar", comparing it to other artist's songs (Rihanna's OGITW from just last year? Ouch!) and as pretty much nothing new, reminiscent of her own previous hits. So pretty much most of those^ critics are saying it's "ok." Also, these^ are reviews of one song. One.
And I won't mention Taylor or Rihanna or Ke$ha etc again afa breaking records.

So I think I covered everything....... She has talent. She has charisma.

^This part makes me feel kinda sad, Stephen.
I never said she wasn't talented or that she has no charisma. I'm a fan of Britney, and like you, want all the best for her too. She's been through allot: Kevin Federline, the shaving her head/paparazzi umbrella attack breakdown, being admitted to a psychiatric ward for holding her boys hostage and then having them taking away from her? No one deserves that, especially Britney. She's never said a bad thing about anyone that I can recall, and I can't say that about many other females in the business.

She doesn't need to remind everyone numerous times why she is in the business and lets her work speak for itself.

So I take it what you're saying here is these days Britney doesn't flaunt her sexuality or make music that appeals to tweens and teens and clubhoppin' pop music fans like she did when she first entered the business? I mean it *is* her tween/teen appeal and sexuality that got her (and yes, Christina, Gaga etc) into the business. (But unlike Christina and Gaga) it certainly isn't her vocal skills, musical talent and suburb songwriting skills that have and will keep her in the business. It *is* her sexuality (in song lyrics, videos etc) and a loyal (most of them tweenage when they started listening to her, then and now) pop music fanbase that's keeping her in the business. And good for her, she's one of the lucky ones.
However, large sales numbers do not equal high quality music (where would I begin? 'NSync anyone?): Britney *is* undoubtedly the Queen of the Tween/Teen Pop Princesses being the 1st out the gate in the late 90's, and with that comes a multitude of fans, and they are very loyal, so her sales reflect that.
(Yes, I'm aware of Tiffany, Debbie Gibson etc in the late 80's, but I think that was a different time in teenpop music. I think back then the focus of the str8 teen gurl was on NKOTB, and less on the female singers.)

She never starts shit with anyone even though she do with her all the time.

Who, Gaga? If it's Gaga you're referring to, I don't remember Gaga starting any shit with Britney. I've never heard Britney start any shit with anyone, that's true.

Her career has outlived many many artists when she was said her career couldn't.

That's true and her loyal fanbase takes all the credit for that. I think Gaga will do the same.

And she is a legend whether people like to admit it or not.

I think she's a Legend in her own right....yes. However, until she's in the 'Rock N Roll' Hall of Fame or when top artists start covering her songs on their albums or they have an Mtv: Icon-esque Britney Spears concert or tribute, I can't put her up there with Cher, Madonna, Elvis, Aretha, Michael etc etc. She's not there yet IMO. She will be one day, no doubt. As will Lady Gaga.

That was fun! I learned allot too!

[outrageous4u]

^ too long, didn't read hahaha

[stephe24]

Ok I read everything Nocturnal and I got the points you made and I'm glad we can agree on many things and we obviously disagree on many things. One thing I felt I wasn't clear on was people starting shit with Britney. I didn't mean Gaga at all, I meant other artists who put her down constantly. I do think Gaga is talented and I respect her for doing what she does. She's even on my iPod Brit is my number one though so I have to defend her just as you do with Gaga. No Brit's voice isn't the strongest BUT she does the best with what she has. Her head voice, to me, is so gorgeous... especially in ballads.

And you can call me Sean...my name isn't Stephen. Also don't refer to me as an unruly child who needs to learn the law of the land

I expect my tickets in 2 weeks not 3

[StarCrasher]

LOL, Britney's no legend. Now Madonna... she's a legend.

[Nocturnal]

^ too long, didn't read hahaha

lol That's fine, we all try to avoid the truth sometimes. I call it the "Lalalalalalala! Defense Mechanism." (j/k, of course). I'm just satisfied in knowing that post will be a part of this thread forever!

Exactly. It's what any great fan would do.

And Sean (I like that name better. Sexier.), I apologize for the "unruly child" thing, and I'll see what I can do about the tickets, but you have to be patient, I'm always worth the wait. Always. Trust.

[stephe24]

She looks amazing. Looking forward to the video.

[Jitrel]

Surprised there's not more here about "Hold it againts me" I'm in love with that song now. I remember reading somewhere, that her new album will be edgier, like the Blackout album, which is great news to me. I love the Blackout album. Circus was alright, but Blackout was better in my opinion.

Honey, the world is in love with HIAM.

And the video!!!! I will be dead!

[EvilTwinTwo]

According to SoundScan:

Over on the Digital Songs chart, last week's No. 1, Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," slips to No. 3 with 183,000 (down 55%). She's replaced atop the list by a familiar face, as Mars' "Grenade" returns to the top (204,000; down 7%).

[outrageous4u]

She is supposed to tweet new pics from the video tonight! Can't wait!!!

[Rubber Rat]

btw, this is my favorite vocal performance of hers in a song:



------------------------------------------------------

what do YOU think about her?

She needs to sing like this more often!

[Gemini_Valley]

^I agree. It has an "All Cried Out" type of vibe to it. I think that was intended for her 1st album, which is vocally still her best. She's never been known as great singer but she showed some capabilities on that LP. Well except when she was much younger (pre-Jive Records) she had a really good, full singing voice.

Is HIAM feat. Flo Rida an official remix? I've heard this a few times on radio.

[outrageous4u]

^No, that remix is not official.

So far, the only official remixes we have heard are: Alias Club Mix, Mike Ruiz's remix, and Robots With Rayguns remix

If this is the actual final version of the song, then I actually dig the song. Another version I heard the bass sounded really low and weak. But I'm def into the song if this is a legit version. At first I thought it was a edit with heavier bass.

I dig the drop.

Yeah thats the final version ^ I love the breakdown. It's awesome.

Also there is a blog confirming Britney performing at the Grammy's. Super excited!

[Mikami]

Awesome.

Might have to give her new album a whirl when it comes out, interested to hear the rest.

[outrageous4u]

No, her manager just denied the Grammy rumor. We will, however, be getting the album title, album cover, and HIAM music video sneak peek this week. Can't wait!!!

the club is NOT in miami. the club is NOT on "south beach". it's in the fontainebleau hotel on mid-beach, miami beach.

here's the reason she was in miami beach:

Yeah we already know all of that.

Hmmm so is she or isn't she?

"Following previous rumors mentioning her Grammy gig, Britney Spears reportedly has secured an opening slot at the upcoming 53rd Annual Grammy Awards despite her camp saying otherwise."

Anyway, I'm curious about the album title and cover, so this week should be good!

[stephe24]

It's a big mess. Her manager is saying no and that she never was but bloggers and reporters are still saying she is. I'm gonna go with the manager on this one. BUT I'm looking forward to cover, title, and previews of the video this week.

Maybe it's not a mess, maybe they want to keep it secret and then surprise everyone.
