Then tell me what you think.

I love it! It's super catchy.

[Cayman]

It sounds like the singles from her last album.

That makes me very happy because the Blackout album is criminally underrated.

[KenK]

Reminds me of Christina Aguilera's (infinitely better) new single.

Eugh, Xtina's new single is a piece of shit. She's got nothin' on Britney.

except for an actual singing voice. :biggrin:

[Spike-X]

I'd really rather not, thanks.

[AlistairCrane]

except for an actual singing voice. :biggrin:

Depends on if you consider Xtina's voice a "singing" voice. Sounds more like a screeching howl to me.

Clearly you are an Xtina fan. I am a Britney fan. This means we are at odds.

[AlistairCrane]

I'd really rather not, thanks.

You should give it a chance---it's a nice, fresh, fun, catchy pop song.

[howyadoin]

Clearly you are an Xtina fan. I am a Britney fan. This means we are at odds.Maybe you could have a slap fight to sort it out.

I'd rather give your mum a(nother) chance.








OOOOOHHHHHHHH YEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!!!

My mother has nothing to do with Britney Spears. I wish she did, though.

[jesse_custer]

Personally, I don't think a song can be great until it's sold a few million copies.

Sorry.

[howyadoin]

Personally, I don't think a song can be great until it's sold a few million copies.

Sorry.Yeah, it's really the only valid yardstick.

Sorry.

That's why Nickelback creams the competition, and not just lyrically.

[leonaozaki]

Against my better judgement, I did listen to it.

I'm still trying to clear it out of my brain.

Yeah geez. Xtina blows, but her singing's near perfect and pleasant to hear. Even I have to admit that. Especially in contrast with Nasal Spears.

What??? Didn't she sing Genie in a Bottle? I don't care if her singing blows in real life, I have no idea. But if so, at least production did a crazy good job making it sound awesome.

[Flight]

I like it!

[MartinRedmond]

Wow, googling up Nasal Spears to see if anyone shared my aversion I found this excerpt:

Maury Dean, author of Rock-N-Roll Gold Rush (2003) documented that Spears has an alto vocal range.[159] Rami Yacoub, who co-produced Spears's debut album with its songwriter and lyricist Max Martin, commented, "I know from Denniz Pop and Max's previous productions, when we do songs, there's kind of a nasal thing. With N' Sync and the Backstreet Boys, we had to push for that mid-nasal voice. When Britney did that, she got this kind of raspy, sexy voice".[23] Following the release of her debut album, Chuck Taylor of Billboard observed, "Spears has become a consummate performer, with snappy dance moves, a clearly real-albeit young-and funkdified voice..."(You Drive Me) Crazy," her third single...demonstrates Spears's own development, proving that the 17-year-old is finding her own vocal personality after so many months of steadfast practice".[160] Spears later commented, "With [...Baby One More Time], I didn't get to show my voice off. The songs were great, but they weren't very challenging.

Ah! I knew producers from the late 90s did that nasal crap on purpose. BSB, NSynch, Eminem, Britney all the commercial gimmick fake bands from the late 90s had horrid nasal singers. It sells!!! :frown:

It will be released on iTunes next Tuesday--make sure to buy a copy!!

Ha ha ha!! The fact that it's stuck in there means it worked!

A pop song's goal is to be catchy so it gets stuck in your head and you remember it. Goal!

[AlistairCrane]

I like it!

Sweet! I like it too but I don't love it quite as much as Gimme More.

[leonaozaki]

Do you know how many songs I get stuck in my head that aren't supposed to be there? I mean, I catch myself singing Cher's "Believe" and that's one craptastic song.

I have successfully forgotten "Womanizer" now.

"Womanizer womanizer oh womanizer..you you you are, you you you are, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer..."

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Britney Spears doing yet another comeback huh... didn't her last album bomb ? Yep...only 834,000 albums sold. The career is slowly winding down for Britney . Who lost her fucking mind the last 2 years.

[leonaozaki]

"Womanizer womanizer oh womanizer..you you you are, you you you are, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer..."

Her last album was critically-acclaimed. It came out at a bad time for her, but the new album will be huge because she's had a lot of positive press in the past few months.

Don't be a hater.

It's a pop song, it's not trying to be Mozart.

I read one positibe press was actually showing up and presenting an award at the MTV Music Awards. Wow...from making a fool of herself last year to showing up this year. I notice she never performed...since last year she was pretty bad.

I just don't think Britney wants it anymore. She hasn't performed in years , is outta rythem and shape , and is acting like she no longer cares.

I can't help but think she's crazy and dying for attention soo bad. Plus she needs the $$$ since rumors are she spends like there is no tomorrow and has to pay Federline to keep the kids safe from her.

I totally disagree. I'm a huge Britney fan and your hater attitude is offending me, so I'm not discussing this with you anymore.

Its cool with me... its not like I'm caring for it. I mean she's gotta earn the jack to pay Federline. Plus I'm sure soon she'll be paying to keep that sex tape outta the press....

[howyadoin]

It's a pop song, it's not trying to be Mozart.'Cause Mozart, of course, was renowned for his lyrical abilities.

Adnan admitted there is no sex tape and that the story is fabricated.

It's so sad that Britney has to pay that no-good dirty bum Kevin. He doesn't deserve a cent of her hard-earned cash.

Except for the fact he's became the best parent to the children where as Britney is looked at as a loony . So she can party , not give a shit and spend all she wants....while the kids stay with a responsible parent. Which shockingly is Federline.

Britney doesn't do that anymore. Since January, her father has been controlling her estate.

Look kid, you're not a Britney expert, so stop acting like you are, because it's just getting embarassing.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Guess her being crazy and being locked in the crazy house allowed that to happen.

Look sonny boy , we have this wonderful thing called the internet...which reports when stars do fucked up things. Like a Britney and those other stars. I'm pretty sure Britney's due for her next mental breakdown soon...

[DoctorDoom]

So how many more singles until Britney's relevant again?

That happens when she has the plastic surgery to fix her saggin breasts and liposuction to make her drop 20-30 pounds !

[AlistairCrane]

Sure won't!

Don't worry, I'll just download it twice!

[AlistairCrane]

Just this one. Britney's never not been relevant.

Mozart was a pop star.

She had her torso surgically elongated to show more midriff.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Welcome to 8 years ago. How may we help you?

[DoctorDoom]

Just this one. Britney's never not been relevant.
I don't think so.

I honestly don't think she deserved to win at the VMA's, but then again, that show stopped being relevant long ago.

[Nate Grey]

Best thread ever!

I thought Brit's singles from her Blackout album went gold/platinum? I did think "Break the Ice" and "Gimmie More" were damn catchy. "Overprotected" sucked, "Radar" was ordinary, but "Ice" and "More" gets thumbs up from me.

However, I heard "Womanizer" on the radio for the first time today, and, well, guess Britney's back to churning out doo-doo. Is her new album called "Metamucil"? I wouldn't even illegally download it ONCE. Then again, maybe like her last album its just the first single that sucks and it'll get better? Wait and see I guess.

I didn't know Christina had a new single out. I'm curious to hear it now. She seems more ecclectic and versatile than Britney, both musically and vocally, though it seems Britney's future might be club music, which is fine.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Could you try to be a little more sexist? I'm still not entirely nauseated.

Maybe its wrong to live in such a PC world where saying "sagging breasts" is such a dasterdly bad thing. I'm glad I live in America where I can mock and be happy to be as sexist as possible.... now I shall go get sexually aroused by old Christina and Britney of 2001-2002 when I thought they were smokin hot.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

And you've proved your ignorance over and over. Welcome to my ignore list, kid.

Ohhh whoa is me ...how will I go on without your overzealous support of a faded pop star ?. How old are you anyhow ? 15 ? 16 ? I mean really... beyond saying Britney's a few flakes from a full bowl of cheerio's in the head and its been proven by her actions reported online this is your defense ?

Go ahead ....I won't be crying ....it just makes me laugh my ass off though.

Britney's first singles don't always reflect the quality of the album. For example, "In The Zone" was a lot better album that its first single, "Me Against the Music". Best to take a "wait and see" approach.

I don't want anyone mistaking me for a Britney Spears fan but how come she's a faded pop star but you don't consider Axl Rose a faded rock star?

-Twi

[Jonathan Bogart]

Because rock's real music blah blah blah.

I said this elsewhere...If I ignored everyone who dissed Axl Rose I'd be alone on CBR by now. I don't...I accept he's not for everyone but I will defend my love of Guns n Roses.

Because rock's real music blah blah blah.

Hmmm maybe....


Of course my respect for Justin Timberlake (and I used to blast the dude a lot) grew when he did a spot on SNL , playing the panio and doing his song. I was like... wow that is pretty good. He's obviously moved to the point where he doesn't need to dance all around and sing "insert generic song here" .

Britney never changed. She had her moment in 1999-2001. But she never grew ...never changed. Even Christina A. changed and grew. I don't like her music ...but she at least made a change.

[twilight]

I said this elsewhere...If I ignored everyone who dissed Axl Rose I'd be alone on CBR by now. I don't...I accept he's not for everyone but I will defend my love of Guns n Roses.

I didn't ask you to defend your love of Guns 'n Roses.

I simply asked what the difference is between Britney Spears,a former top selling artist who you claim is a washed up pop star, and Axl Rose,a former top selling artist who hasn't produced any music in fifteen years.

-Twi

[Spike-X]

I accept he's not for everyone but I will defend my love of Guns n Roses.

Guns'n'Roses ended in the early 90s, Super. I used to love their music, too.

Which is why I'm so damn disappointed with what Waxl has done with the name since.

-Twi

He has...produced music....(album likely out Nov.25th at Best Buy). I think its crazy to claim that basically everyone has came down on Rose for everything under the sun. I accept it... he ran off the old band , he wanted all the money ....he is crazy ....he will never produce an album....

The differance is Axl has performed (2006-2007 world tour) ....and got himself into shape after a disastours 2002 tour. It went to hell bad for him then. He admitted he was outta shape and not really wanting to play ! But he felt pressured to tour and the result was what we saw.

His 2006-2007 tour was him attempting to show he could play and did every show (except for the 1 canceled for not selling alcohal) . Axl Rose could have said FUCK IT ...and not really wanna do anything anymore after the horrible 2002 tour. But he rebounded , did a good tour and showed a lot of fire was there at age 44.

Years ago Rose was a crazy son of a bitch. He drank , smoked never took care of himself. Sebastian Bach told him of a throat doctor to help his vocal cords stay strong. He said Rose had changed a lot from the young guy he was and wanted to take care of himself...and be able to perform.

When CD gets released....well that will be great. Its due November 25th at Best Buy. So should be fun to hear and see whats on the album.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Guns'n'Roses ended in the early 90s, Super. I used to love their music, too.

Which is why I'm so damn disappointed with what Waxl has done with the name since.


I agree ....to a point. I think change is a part of the music. I could see why Rose wanted to change. The leaks sound impressive when you consider 90% of it is Rose who wrote them. Its so easy for him to wanna do "Paradise City" 2k8 but he didn't. He changed some shit up...

I never imagined a day when a song like "If the World" would be done by Guns n Roses. But it has...and its gonna be on the "Body of Lies" soundtrack I suppose. Its playing at the end of the credits....

I miss Slash a lot. Guy was fucking awesome with Axl and maybe one day their paths will cross and we'll see both men re-unite. Guns n Roses is due to enter the Rock Hall of Fame in 2012...so maybe by then Rose and the old members will have settled down.

[Spike-X]

He should have changed the name to Gunnas'n'Roses.

"We're gunna put an album out...we're gunna do this...we're gunna do that..."

[SUPERECWFAN1]

He should have changed the name to Gunnas'n'Roses.

"We're gunna put an album out...we're gunna do this...we're gunna do that..."

I think that we wouldn't be seeing "Shackler's Revenge" or songs on soundtracks if it wasn't for Rose biting the bullet and getting the former manager of Velvet Revolver (Azoff) and another manager to actually make shit happen. If anything maybe it was part of the problem as well with "The Axl Rose and his Guns n Roses" band for the longest time.

You need a manager who knows the business and can push shit thru. Last year its said the record label told Rose his current manager and plan (13 Tuesdays suprise release) was fucking stupied and to fire him. Rose... eventually did it finally. Even thoough the guy had been his manager for years.

[Spike-X]

You need a manager who knows the business and can push shit thru.

No, you just need to get off your arse, write some songs, record them, and release them. It's not fucking rocket science.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

No, you just need to get off your arse, write some songs, record them, and release them. It's not fucking rocket science.

You need good management... the songs , production ect ect was done for years. Hell we've all likely heard them online and in concert. He even toured .....

Its gotta come down to having someone who is a good manager and can make deals ...knows the business . Like Azoff who in 5 months got the label and shit straightened out it seems.

And the manager thing comes back around to Britney Spears. It was said she fired her 1st manager a few years back. Maybe that was a mistake and the current manager she has isn't working as well. Maybe thats a problem at the moment for her.

I know even the Beatles claimed in later years that as good a guy as Brian Epstein was ...he wasn't that smart towards business. His deals as their manager hurt them. So even great bands can suffer from some mistakes management wise.

[Slam_Bradley]

Could you try to be a little more sexist? I'm still not entirely nauseated.


I certainly hope he can. He hasn't been nearly sexist enough yet.

[Spike-X]

You need good management... the songs , production ect ect was done for years. Hell we've all likely heard them online and in concert. He even toured ...

Maybe he needs to hire The Raconteurs' manager. Their latest album was recorded and released within the space of two weeks.

And I'm quite confident it will shit all over The Axl Rose Band's album, when that finally comes out.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I certainly hope he can. He hasn't been nearly sexist enough yet.

I aim to try....:tongue:

I liked the song (escapes my mind) that the Raconteurs had out ...the one with them having a soapbox derby race . The song used to be played by me a lot.

Well he has his management team... (and I admit he should have hired em years ...and years ago). The album will be one that will never live up to its billing. Ohh I accept that. I just want the damn album ! Thats all...

[Slam_Bradley]

I aim to try.


Don't get too cocky, because Asshole Ro$e has been a has-been for at least a decade.

[Matt Algren]

Eugh, Xtina's new single is a piece of shit. She's got nothin' on Britney.
Who cares about Xtina, man. I'm all about the PopoZão.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

I like this new thread better.

[Sabrinaset]

She hasn't performed in years , is outta rythem and shape ...

Well, round IS a shape! :biggrin:

[AlistairCrane]

Britney's going on tour in '09! I joined her fan club because it will give me access to awesome seats when I go to buy tickets.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Don't get too cocky, because Asshole Ro$e has been a has-been for at least a decade.

Well Axl does have one thing working.... who else could logically for over a decade keep an album mentioned so much in the press ? I mean other bands can wish that... but well there are few who could not release an album in 14 years and yet...still do sold out world tours.
