Britney is the best! She's my all-time favorite female artist! I'm so excited for her Radar MV! :)

I hope she releases more singles from Blackout. I love "Toy Soldier" and 'Hot As Ice".

Really don't understand what all the hoopla is about. She is still out there drinking and doping with her friends. She has her freedom from the kids right now and is enjoying it to the fullest for as long as it lasts. So far it has been way too long, for me, personally.

I don't understand why she is idolized so much. If my daughter's were this age and doing what she was doing, I am sorry, but there would be a price to pay, and Miss Spears hasn't paid that yet.

She is still wrecking cars and wondering why people want her to quit driving. She needs to step back out of the 'fast life' and watch the world around her. Her album is not getting that great of reviews, and she doesn't have her personal life under control yet. What is there to see as a role model? I don't see much.

I liked her a ton when she was first on the scene, and I have all of her early albums, and even have a poster of her on the back of the door to my computer room, which by the way I saved during the fire. I am a fan of the 'old' Britney. The new one I really don't care for at all.

:D

I love "Hot As Ice" even more than "Radar"- that'd make a GREAT single!

I think that a lot of us hold onto the "old" Britney- we were fans back then, and we want what's best for her. She wouldn't be as successful as she is if she only came on the scene recently, the way she is now. We all know what Britney is capable of, both in her personal life and in her career. We hope that she'll get better. She's definitely on the right path. I haven't been on TMZ in a while, so I don't know what antics she's up to, but I know that I haven't heard of her riding in cars pantyless recently, and she did get 50/50 custody of her kids, and she's actually working (guest-starring on "How I Met Your Mother"). She's come a long way, and even if she has a long way to go, she's on the right track, and I (and many others) applaud her for that.

Yeah i love Hot As Ice, as well as Toy Soldier, and Freakshow, and Perfect Lover, and Get Back and Why Should I Be Sad?.... as much as i want a new album, i want her to continue releasing singles off Blackout! I love nearly every song of this album, and i want more singles, they'd sell well, if she made videos for em, 6 or 7 singles could be released easily.

I wish that I had bought the whole "Blackout" album, instead of just downloading 6 songs. When I had listened to the whole album on MTV.com's The Leak, I didn't like some of the songs. What was I thinking?!? 8 months or so later, I'm listening to the other songs online, and they're great! I must've been in a bad mood or something! I now wish that I had spent a few more dollars back in the fall and bought the whole CD- I've totally been missing on these songs! "Heaven on Earth" is great! (That's what I'm listening to now.)

I just wanted to post this. It really is another great album by Britney, and I apologize for my previous attitude towards it!

I'm still not feeling "Get Naked", though. I guess it's not enough Britney, what with that guy singing and all. "Toy Soldier" isn't too great, either, but I'm torn on it. I know that I'll get into it if I keep listening to it.

*edit*- I downloaded the rest of the songs, but not "Get Naked".

I originally bashed the album as well, but now I'm in love with it. But I'm with Amy on <i>Get Naked (I've Got a Plan)</i>. It's complete trash!

Well I don't think much of Britney and I think this thread is looking at her under more postive a light than it should, given she was recently rules incapable of showing up for a court date. But don't you think you are being a little hypocripital given you were head of a fan club for a band in which two of the four members killed themselves with drugs?

I truly believe she's finally making her comeback. She's been in the gym and recording studio non-stop, she's been spending a good amount of quality time with her boys, and she hasn't been out club-hopping at all. Not only that, but she's heading off to London to film her new video, which she'll also be co-directing. And to top it all off, Neil Patrick Harris has been winking at the idea of her character, Abby, returning to <i>How I Met Your Mother</i> next season as a recurring guest star.

She's still got a ways to go, but it looks like our Brit-Brit is officially on the right track!

Oh, and quick question: Is there truth to the <i>Blackout</i> re-release rumor? I know she's been in the recording studio a lot lately, but I thought all of that was for a new album.

Rather ironic considering the fact he was against the stunt casting from the start and thinks that Spears couldn't handle the workload if she were made into a *gasp* regular character. I wonder what got him to change his mind. Probably the CBS bigwigs saying "Hey, don't ruin any future opportunities for us or we'll fire you!" :roll:

I remember hearing that too. But that's probably exactly what it is. CBS knows bringing back Britney means bringing in ratings, so they'll take her as much as they can get her.

Radar won't be a single anymore due to Jive Records wanting the new record from Britney quickly, and wanting to spend more time promoting that, than wasting time on this album, and this era of Britney. I guess they'd rather start on a fresh leaf with her, you know? I'm betting that she will open this year's MTV VMA Awards, to show how much she's grown since then. I hope she does, I want her to show all those nay-sayers.
But then again, I was looking forward to a hot new, Toxic-like clip from Brit for Radar, it would've been great. I wanted like the rest of the album as singles too!

Wikipedia says that the show stopped airing new episodes on May 2nd. And an article that's linked from the "Zoey 101" Wikipedia page from March 1st says that all the episodes had already been taped, prior to March 1st, so Jamie's belly probably wasn't showing at that point...

The above post was not me. It was my sister! I'll have to have a talk with her (and start logging off). She's a big Jamie fan.

OMG!!! Did anyone watch "America's Got Talent" last week when they had a guy who looked just like Britney Spears tryout, and they liked him so much he is on his way to Las Vegas for the finals.

"America's Got Talent" judges were blown away by this guy, and as David Hasselhoff said after the performance, "Are you really a guy?"

He was that good.

:D

If this guy sang, then it'd be even better...I mean, Britney herself lipsynches often, but still...

Remember Kady from "American Idol" this past season...she can sing like Britney...the two of these people could be a good team.

I'm impressed by this guy's look and his Britneyisms, like when he blew kisses and put his hands together...he has her mannerisms down pat. He must've had surgery, right? I mean, his teeth were perfect. Did he have facework done, or does he naturally have nice cheekbones? His makeup job was great. Is that really his hair, or is it a wig, or a weave?

I believe it is all in the make-up. Reading an article about him, he does four other stars in his act. He has been blessed with the cheek-bones that allow him to use make-up to highlight other areas. Don't know who the other stars are that he impersonates, but give the guy some credit. He does have all the moves and the look of Britney Spears.

Anyone remember that 'idiot' from last year's show that thought he was the gift to the world of impressions who tried to pass himself off as a girl? Compared to this year's 'model', that guy was terrible.

Well, sadly as you all probably know, 'Radar' will not be released as a single. This is due to the fact that Britney and Jive want to focus on her new album, and new projects, and essentially move away from 'Blackout'. Which is a shame I feel, as Blackout is her best album by far. The release was of course surrounded in an extremely nagative time for Britney, and its no wonder she wants to move on and up ! So, sad to say ...

R.I.P Blackout.

BUT

What is utterly fabulous is this news: Britney will apear in a 'mini movie' during Madonna's 'Sticky and Sweet' tour ! ! The Queen of Pop personally asked Britney to become involved with the tour, which I think speaks volumes about Madonna :) Here is some info about the EXTREMELY hot scenario that Britney will be taking part in:

More details have surfaced about what exactly Britney is doing with Madonna for her "Sweet & Sticky" cameo(s). Eonline.com describes one of the two scenes saying: "Britney, partially disguised by a gray hoodie, walks into the elevator. As she starts traveling upward, she seems particularly nervous and anxious. The popster starts pacing back and forth. Then she progresses to kicking and smacking the walls, all frantic-like. She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall, pulls down her hood and, into another camera, says: "It's Britney, bitch." But according to other reports, this may just be the tip of the iceberg.

The Sun, the site that broke the Britney-Madonna cameo news first, claims this isn't the only scene Britney will be featured in. The next scene will have your draw drop to the floor, making their 2003 vma kiss look "tame."

Britney & Madonna "will perform a mash-up of Madonna's track 'Beat Goes On' and Britneys 'Piece Of Me,' while the two are unwrapped from costumes that can only be described as bondage mummy. The pop duo will be wrapped in bandages which will then be unraveled by leather thong-clad male dancers."

An on-set source revealed: "It's absolutely classic Madonna. Probably the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and will be very controversial. Britney and Madonna are unwrapped like mummies, to appear together almost naked apart from tiny leather bondage pants and knee-high boots. They then dance closely together, pressing their hands and bodies together. There will be big rows over whether it is sexy, shocking or both."
- breatheheavy.com

How fantastic is that?! I only hope it will not just be able to be viwed on the tour, so we all can see it.

Also, the producers / songwriters signed on for Britney's 6th album are, s far: Danja, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Sean Garrett, JR Rotem, Guy Sigsworth, Damon Elliott, Dallas Austin, Kara Dioguardi, & Bloodshy & Avant,Taio Cruz. Pretty hot lineup too !

I'm so happy that there is so much positive in Britney's life right now. Here are some pictures of a happy, similing Britney, just before she went off to shoot the Madonna cameo: http://www.britneyres.com/thumbnails.php?album=3066
