Side by side comparison of Britney’s VMA’s performance against a performance of her dancers rehearsing with a stand in (as Brit had better things to do that day I’m sure).
What do you think?
You gotta love the level of realism they were trying to achieve in rehearsals, I mean anything less than a 165 lb. stand in, just wouldn’t have looked right y’all!
Number 2!
It’s like the whole world is against Britney when Billboard changes their policy??
Britney’s album “Blackout,” would have been No. 1, had Billboard not changed their policy. Billboard reports, “In consultation with Nielsen SoundScan, Billboard will now allow exclusive album titles that are only available through one retailer to appear on The Billboard 200 and other charts, effective with this week’s charts. Prior to this, proprietary titles were not eligible to appear on most Billboard charts. ”
Had the Eagles’ data not been reported, “Blackout” would be No. 1, however, it will open at No. 2 with first-week sales of 290,000 copies.
Well, it looks like Brit can kick back and relax, reviews for Blackout are coming in and they’re all good. To be expected. She’s such a mess to watch attempt to function in everyday life, but empty enough to make a successful pop album (where she contributes basically, just her name and a little vocals).
She’s mailable and I don’t think that there is a producer that could go wrong with the fame that swirls around this girl. Hype is half the success.
IGN reviewed ‘Blackout’ and gave it a 6.9. There’s a great breakdown of each song on their site. Here is an interesting excerpt of the full review, on the production of Brit’s Blackout.
From a production standpoint Blackout is pretty sweet. The sheer amount of layering and overdubs create a full, rich vocal palette for Spears and when listened to on headphones even induce mild bouts of hypnotic euphoria. Ultimately, however, this is just corn syrup saturated ear candy that goes down easy and then is ultimately forgotten. A retro post-new Wave rush encapsulates “Heaven on Earth,” which again features breathless Britney working her seductive magic. Yet when coupled with all the “out of shape” photos we’ve been assaulted with in the tabloids, it’s hard to get aroused by the slinky sway of the song. Visual connotations aside, the track is actually one of the more solid offering on the album, Spears keeping her vocals pretty consistent, going for a sultrier, richer approach than her normal shrill demeanor. The chorus itself is incredibly enthralling, lilting along with melodic supremacy.
…Makes you want to hear it, eh? October 30!!!

After many mock-ups, here is the official cover for Britney Spear’s new CD, ‘Blackout’ .
This is what they settled up on for a comeback? Ew! … quick, back to the art room!
According to People magazine, ‘Blackout’ was originally scheduled to be released on November 13, but will now hit store shelves two weeks earlier on October 30.
Only 13 more days of paparazzi antic hilarity to endure until this p.o.s, drops.
‘Blackout’s track list:
1. “Gimme More”
2. “Piece of Me”
3. “Radar”
4. “Break the Ice”
5. “Heaven on Earth”
6. “Get Naked (I Got a Plan)”
7. “Freakshow”
8. “Toy Soldier”
9. “Hot as Ice”
10. “Ooh Ooh Baby”
11. “Perfect Lover”
12. “Why Should I Be Sad” (let me see, where do I begin? …Nah that’s too easy.)
Remember while Britney was filming her mess of a video “Gimme More” she broke down crying, leaving the crew standing around for hours waiting until she pulled her sh** back together? That was around the same time that she was cleaning up after her then new puppy, London and mopping up fried chicken with her Chanel dress during her big OK! Magazine interview.
Perhaps the rumored “uncut” version explains why tears hit the floor. Maybe she had some sort of conscience about getting topless, while her babies were home waiting for their mommy. Or maybe she was so pumped up on drugs that getting topless seemed like a good idea for a drowning music career.
Either way, judging by the above pic, it’s not pretty.
A mega-popstar loses out to a wannabe rapper! Britney would probably do everything she could to beat out Kevin, if the two were battling for the number one spot, on the charts. So why didn’t she follow L.A. Superior Court’s, Judge Gordon’s orders, when he laid down the law? Britney was ordered to attend parenting classes, random drug tests, and to get a damn California drivers license, last week. While Brit’s song “Gimme More” is finally topping charts, she’s losing the opportunity of a lifetime. Poor Britney is so blinded by the flashing bulbs that she can’t see her own demise. On Monday, the judge ordered that Brit turn over physical custody of her two boys, 2 yr. old Sean Preston and 1 yr. old Jayden James, to Kevin Federline. I have to ask how a girl, that has the world at her disposal, manages to lose custody of her most valuable possessions? To be young, healthy and one of the richest woman in the world seems like the perfect combination to offer your children the finest possible life. The luxury of staying home with them, traveling with them, making their meals, reading stories, foreign language tutors, nutritionists to prepare menus, the best clothes, the softest sheets, swimming lessons, villas in Italy…… why? why? Why not just retire from the spotlight and enjoy the experience of being a parent? Moreover, how do you lose physical custody of your children to likes of a wannabe rapper, who’s only claim to fame, is YOU!? While there is no replacement for the comfort of a mother, we can only hope that this was a wise decision on the judges part and Kevin will take the honor of raising their children seriously. Oh Britney, I beg thee to get it together!
Looks like after all of the hair, wardrobe and parenting mishaps, Britney may come back on top…. again! She has a new hit that dropped today and it’s not a parked car. “Gimme More”was produced by the same guy that churned out two monster albums last year. Nate ‘Danja’ Hills is a Timbaland protégé, that was introduced to Timbaland through a childhood friend in 2005, who produced Nelly Furtado’s successful comeback record, Loose and Justin Timberlake’s, uber successful SexyBack. See what you think, you can hear it here at Perez. It doesn’t have the dance pop that “Toxic” maintains, but it will for sure be a hit, especially after all the fanfare surrounding this mess the past year. She has been asked to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, Sept. 9, but Timbaland, this years musical director for the event, thinks that her performance will overshadow the other performers. Timbaland tells E! Online that, “He thinks it would be too much drama, and that she is going to take away from the other performers.” It is rumored that she is to open the show in a vanishing act that would lead her in and out a series of mirrors, vanishing and reappearing. This is said to be the reasoning behind her late nights with Chris Angel. Okay that makes sense, but why the hell are so many other Hollywood starlets hanging out with this out-of-touch magic man? I wish he would make the silver rings, bandannas and pukka shells disappear! Now that’s a show I would watch. Chris Angel on What Not To Wear, but I digress. Back to Britney, no matter what she sings or wears, it was reported today that her monthly income is an average of $737,868, so can she really fail? She tries!
