^^ I think one can honestly argue that any Britney album could be classified as overrated to an extent.

Now you of all people know the answer to that question. :frenchy: But I have a feeling I know why you're asking it. :surprise:

My answer: Quality music is quality music.

And I'm sure that had circumstances been different in Britney's life, Blackout would have sold more and some fans wouldn't have such a bias towards a solid body of work.

Because Blackout was the EPITOME of a PERFECT Britney signature sound. It was the most mature, was somewhat controversial, & just had that classic Britney sound. Britney (in my opinion) is the only pop star that can successfully pull off an urban sound as well which is why her fan fav's are songs like Slave, Gimme More, Get Naked, Tik Tik Boom, Break The Ice. They come natural to her. Where as other pop artists have dabbled in R&B/ Hip-hop sounds and although it may be good does not give off the same effect Britney's does or runs as smoothly (IMO).

BJ however was not a favorite because they did not successfully capture the Signature Britney sound! Although it wasn't bad i have to admit listening to the album throughout, I felt as if hardly most of the songs as a whole captured her essence. If you can listen to a song by an artists and clearly imagine another artist sing that song, if not better, than that song doesn't necessarily capture the artist's essence. Name one CLASSIC Britney song that you hear that you can imagine another artist sing..even if it was intended for them. (ex: Slave was intended for Janet & even tho that may be Janet's style, I actually cannot envision her singing Slave 4 U. It was 100% BRITNEY, same for BOMT and TLC). BJ tracks were Will.i.am tracks that tried to push Britney in them and it felt unnatural despite how good some of them were. That's my analysis on it all

When both "flopped" by Britney standards (especially after the 10-million selling In The Zone) and didn't go #1?

Why? :yaknow:

Actually, blackout was hated by many pretty much throughout 2007. I think a year later, people starting liking it. But yeah, when it came out.. it was criticized to death because it was so "autotuned" not to mention how uncool it was considered to be a britney fan back then. I loved the album though since day 1 esp. Piece of me. <3 Give Britney Jean time.. :) In a year or two, it'll be considered a masterpiece. <3

I don't think so :) Blackout is so different and it's really amazing album.

Britney Jean songs are dead :( I mean I still can listen "Hot As Ice" but I don't wanna listen "Chillin' with you" :) And one year later I won't listen haha :D

Blackout is a critical darling and set the standard for pop albums going forward. Fucking Pitchfork, an ivory tower of an indie publication, sucks Blackout's big meaty cock and gave it a great review. Thank God they spared us the carnage by not reviewing BJ (in comparison, they gave Unapologetic by Rihanna a 4/10 :eekk: )
