Britney Spears Wishes Japanese Audience a “Wonderful Christmas”

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:35:26 +0000

Maybe a blanket “Happy Holidays” would’ve sufficed as Britney made her promotional rounds in Japan, but she won points with me after barely looking like the overwhelming crowd/simultaneous translation/general awkwardness got to her. Brit’s totally back in the swing of things, and out of all her Circus comeback stops, this appearance was one of the most interesting (and she isn’t even singing in the first one).

One thing that’s making me sad, though: I see her outfit hasn’t changed. A tweak or two would get her looking less “Madonna”-esque– I hope she makes a resolution to change stylists for 2009!

The Performance

Britney Spears top of the pops with Circus

Britney Spears’ new album Circus has debuted at No. 1 on the charts in the US and five other countries.

Circus sold 505,000 copies in the US for the week ending 7 December 2008, making it one of the biggest album debuts for the year. The album also hit No. 1 in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and Switzerland, and top 10 in seven other countries.

Of 6 albums, Spears has hit the No. 1 spot 5 times, with her previous album Blackout released during her breakdown in 2007 managing to debut only in second spot with 290,000 copies.

Spears starts her world tour in New Orleans next March and more than 400,000 tickets have been sold in the United State alone.

Britney Spears on Good Morning America: Whoops I lip synced again

Duncan Riley — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:51:18 +0000

Britney Spears appeared on Good Morning America today and performed two numbers to coincide with her birthday and the release of her new album Circus.

While most agree that Britney is looking great, the same can’t be said for the performance, with Britney clearly lip syncing and not doing a very good job at that either. This is the second time recently Spears has been caught lip syncing, with UK fans outraged following a similar fake performance on The X Factor.

Her dancing is being strongly panned as well: not only doesn’t she sing when she “performs,” not having to make noises doesn’t seem to help her feet either.

Here’s the Britney Spears Good Morning America video, apologies about the quality. What do you think?

Circus

Britney Spears Circus pre-release leak

Duncan Riley — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:02:18 +0000

A range of songs from Britney Spears’ forthcoming Circus album has allegedly been leaked online.

The songs in the YouTube clip sound legit, but the leak seems to be more of a PR stunt, with Britney’s record company linking to the site that has supposedly gained the leak from an inside source.

Anyhow, for Britney Spears fans, your first taste of Circus.

Britney Gets “Erotic,” Releases Finished Womanizer Single

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:49:43 +0000

After a leaked unfinished version of “Womanizer” hit last week, Britney’s new single has been cleaned up and released. Is it going to be a hit? I can’t wait to see how it fares because (to me, Brit fans, sorry) it sounds generic. And not exactly like her, because her voice has been taken over by the magical digital reworking machine.

For the guys who could care less what it sounds like, supposedly there is “erotic” choreography in the upcoming video to keep you distracted. According to Usmagazine.com, Britney wears tight leather pants and straddles a man in a business suit:

“The scene continues with Spears sucking on cherries or dangling them around her mouth, all while straddling and crawling all over the man, the witness says.”

Well, there’s something for everyone, at least. It’ll be playing in a Club Near You.

Pumped for Britney’s New Album?

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:01:46 +0000

Britney Spears’ whole life is a Circus, so her album of the same name planned for a December 2008 release makes a lot of sense. Except for one tiny thing, that is: this album’s supposedly her ticket to Comeback City and Normal Town.

With a bad name already stamped on the project, Britney’s fighting an uphill battle. Well, that and the fact that she’s trying too hard and too fast. Her VMA stuff was passable, she’s managed to have get-togethers with her children and family without drama, and she’s looking fit, but doesn’t another “Britney comeback” promise seem rushed?

I feel like she needs to disappear for a year and then pop up with something amazingly polished.
