Well, come to think of it, the Britney Spears that I had come to admire, like and love, seemed to have snapped off from her trance from her previous marriage failure and decided it's time for her to move forward. A good job, more so, a good video for her come back. I loved it! I can't wait for the official release of her latest album.

By the way, the above video is the director's cut (available over you tube), which shows scantily dressed Britney with a Calvin Klein model named Brandon Stoughton, who likewise is almost naked as her.

What a way to shut critics mouth about Britney losing her curves that had attracted millions of male fans around the world? Read More......

Britney Spears' latest album Blackout was definitely not the usual of what we normally hear of her; the provocative and sensual type. Her latest comeback album somehow incorporates her feelings, though in a poor sense, since we all know she doesn't wrote much of her songs. No one truly knows whether the said compositions reflect Britney's true emotions or not, but one thing is for sure about the album; Blackout surely is not even comparable to the previously released albums of Britney Spears that her fans had come to love. Blackout lacks the sensuality of the "I'm a Slave 4 U" or the provocativeness of "Toxic", and it also lacks the classy pop style of "Oops... I did it Again", more so, the album is deficient of the dance-able rhythms exemplified by "Me Against the Music" and others songs that had hailed her to her position in the music industry

Whether or not Blackout reflects her emotional roller coaster, the album shouldn't had been released early not until resolving all the negative criticisms and publicity hailed at her. Her management and record label, shouldn't had took the risk of releasing the said album just to combat online piracy, more so as a follow up for the success of the carrier single "Gimme More". They should had test the waters first, by releasing another single from the said album, and check it comparatively with the success brought about by "Gimme More".

So far, upon listening to the entire album, I can assert that the album is fairly good, but really not that good enough to stir my attention to re-listen to the entire album itself again.
