Ouch! Not rubbish fictional characters, obviously. ;)

If Gorillaz were a bit more fictional and a bit less Damon Albarn then I might find more time for them. (Actually, perhaps not, I've just remembered how awful everything I've heard by them has been, and it can't all be Albarn's fault. But anyway.)

"Britnillaz!"...?

What do people think about the title of the album? (Britney)

That cover is also a shame. It looks very Adobe Photoshop.

the title is awful. i hate it when bands or artists make an eponymous record when they already have other stuff out. its like, *and now, the real me/us)*. just said this on the pulp thread too.

Praising Britney is a bit like supporting the airheaded jock or cheerleader who is not only rich, but blessed with good genetics as well. If you were in their position, you could've easily had the same strings pulled and ended up a clueless human cartoon, too. Of course Britney is a pop star. You needn't be impressed by this fact. Britney fans must be the same sort who go to movies for the neat special effects.

Or or or or like when people say, "The Yankees are the fuckin' BEST!" Like, no shit, brainiac! They got the most money. You might as well congratulate Bill Gates for forcing another company out of business.

i like the idea of a complex and brillant conglomaerate making someone famous. Its like a Duchampian/Koonsian My Fair LAdy .

Who has Britney forced out of business? Pop ain't a zero-sum game.

mark s, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Of course I go to the movies for neat special f/x. You think I'm supposed to go to become a better person or something?

Britney Spears records 'aggressive' new material

Britney Spears’ new album is under way and according to the producer with whom she is working, it’s “real aggressive”.

Rodney Jerkins, who created hits with the likes of TLC, including the enormously successfully ‘No Scrubs’, and Brandy on her ’Full Moon’ album, is collaborating with Spears for the first time in seven years and says the new material is "very dance-y, very up-tempo, in the clubs, real aggressive, and catchy...very, very hook-friendly."

Jerkins told Rap-Up TV that Spears is a fast worker and that he plans to reinvent her sound for the 2009 release.

"It usually takes people a long time to record songs and we just did a song. She walked in at 8:30 and was out by 10:30 -- did the whole song -- in and out. …I love working with her. I'm just trying to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project."

The pair have been working together for around four weeks and Jerkins says that after after her failed 'comeback' at the MTV Awards last year, the singer is on a new path to success.

"I was very happy to see that she was working on the positive side and she's moving toward new things now. I think it's about to be her time again."

BRITNEY SPEARS is looking back to her old self and it seems the people who matter are taking notice.

Bosses at MTV could be set to ask her to return to September's Video Music Awards (VMAs) despite her disastrous performance just 12 months ago.

She gave a dreadful and out of time rendition of single Gimme More at the bash in Las Vegas. She was later spotted crying backstage.

So could Brit be set for her second "comeback" in as many years?

MTV president Van Toffler revealed: "Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?"

Let's hope Britney gets it right this time.

Jerkins certainly did a bang up job on Janet's comeback single, he must be the man for the job here

"Britney is back (again), but this time she has the help of a fellow diva.

The singer revealed to People that she and “Fancy” rapper Iggy Azalea collaborated on a single that will drop May 5.

Azalea confirmed to the Associated Press earlier this month that the song will be called “Pretty Girls” and will most likely appear on her next album."

britney working with E•MO•TION personnel might be one of the best pop looks of 2016

maura, Thursday, 18 August 2016 14:11 (seven years ago) link

to be fair they've written like 50% of non-edm pop radio songs lately

"do you wanna come over?" is the only song i've liked from the album so far

I address the implications of "I'm a Slave 4 U," John Ashcroft's ordering statues to cover themselves, and the sinister figure of Justin Timberlake: https://www.stereogum.com/2165554/britney-spears-britney-turns-20/reviews/the-anniversary/
