Pokémon Spears Posted June 6, 2016 #13 Report Posted June 6, 2016 I really like Britney Jean. I can still listen to it with no problem after almost 3 years. To listen to Femme Fatale in full I have to be in a certain mood, which happens very rarely, and that started to happen since 2012, a year after it was released. Not to mention Blackout I can only listen to the individual songs when I put all the albums in shuffle. 2

That's what really makes me mad, I would love that album to death if it wasn't for the whole Myah mess. I'm not one of those fans that keep complaining about it or that had meltdowns back then, I just moved on and decided not to let the negativity consume me, but you know, sometimes I listen to it and I think about how much potential the songs have and how sad it is that because she didn't have the best production team Britney Jean wasn't the album it was meant to be Thankfully I have big hopes on B9, I feel like it's gonna be awesome 3

I still believe many songs could've done well as singles, at least a moderate success. Overall, I won't say the individual songs are her best, like, I don't know Body Ache or ISBE. Personally, I just love NTIFY, Don't Cry and Hold on Tight, but I can definitely listen to that album in full for some reason. Maybe it's because is somewhat short. I really like the vibe, even though I know it doesn't show like an evolution in her style, or it wasn't anything transcendental. It is definitely not as bad as people make it seem. I'm sure B9 will be really great, because she seems so involved in it. But for the producers and writers we've seen so far, and that supposed melody of MMO that the brazilian guy is singing, I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking but something very similar to what's out there right now, from artists like Zayn, Bieber, Selena Gomez, etc. It will be something new for Britney though, I know I'll love anything she gives us, I just hope this time she releases more singles, to make the era last a little bit longer, since who knows when will B10 come out. That's another thing, if she gave us a couple of BJ singles during 2014, we wouldn't be as thirsty as we are, or as we were by the time PG came out. 1

Yeah, I agree with what you said about B9, she's definitely going for this kind of chill, fresh vibe that's being trendy right now, and I'm happy with that. I mean, people act as if following trends is terrible, but it actually isn't, there's a great value in taking something that's already been done my many people, adding your own personal style and making it sound completely different, and I think that's what Britney will do. So far things are going way better than in 2013, she's more involved with her music, her attitude is super positive and she just oozes energy and passion for her work, so if her team supports the project I think that she will happily promote and make the era last longer! 1
WOMANIZA Posted June 6, 2016 #17 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Good. 'Britney Jean' should have been an EP with 6-8 tracks. It, as a whole, is terrible in comparison to the rest of her discography. 1
PsychoMonkey Posted June 6, 2016 #18 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Brenda Joan was her most successful album debuting at #1 with 50 million albums sold first week and its been #1 still to THIS day yall aint shit
josephthemerman Posted June 7, 2016 #19 Report Posted June 7, 2016 I like Britney Jean, I still remeber when it first came out and everyone was like "she's back this album is great!" But then they seen it didn't chart well (which most of her songs don't , just her albums) they hated it it was bad, etc. Sometimes Britney's worst enemies are her own fans. We know she's not that much know for hits or topping the charts she's only done it very few times, the only thing she had going was her albums debuting at number one. Not much else really but we still love her. We need to just be happy there's still music. Stop being fake fans. 1

It has some good tracks like Alien, Til It's Gone, Passenger, and Hold On Tight. But overall, it sounds very unfinished and unprofessional considering it's not a debut album. Charts mean nothing if the songs are bad, most people love WB and it charted well, i have never liked that song and never will, just never found the appeal to it. 1
MakeMySugarFall Posted June 7, 2016 Author #21 Report Posted June 7, 2016 I don't hate Britney Jean, but that album looks like trash compared to most of her other albums. A few people have mentioned the poor production and I agree - that was very disappointing. None of the songs on there are great imo. There are some I like (Tik Tik Boom, Body Ache, Now That I found You, Work Bitch, Alien - don't judge me), but I don't think they hold a candle to past singles, let alone other deep cuts. That album was so basic. I'm hoping B9 isn't like thy.

The main problem with Britney Jean is vocally it's not even her 100% on lead. What I don't understand is how anyone can call themselves a fan and not recognize an airy, exaggerated impersonation on the majority (aside from "Perfume" & "Don't Cry" to be exact) of the tracks. Or worse just bury their heads in the sand as if it's perfectly normal to have a soundalike "background" singer share or completely sing lead. You like the album, fine, but the harsh criticisms is well justified -- the album feels more like a post-mortem release with Myah Marie filling in with subpar & dated material and terrible production. No amount of chart success is going to erase that fact, I mean, it could have debuted at #1 and broken all sale records and still be looked at as the shit stain on her otherwise flawless discography. We would have been better off with just "Work Bitch" and "Perfume" as standalone singles, but according to this article this album never existed anyway. I'm okay with that. 2
3184373295524 Posted June 7, 2016 #23 Report Posted June 7, 2016 I never got the hate on BJ though When it came out it was my fave from Brit's discography The haters gonna hate tho during the BJ era it was clearly visible that her main priority wasn't music but at least she made and effort and as the booklet said, it was a labor of love for her fans so that's why we should be thankful 1
HeadstrongWolf Posted June 7, 2016 #24 Report Posted June 7, 2016 Burka Joanne was iconic y'all need to stop hating

Yeah, as some people have already said the album's main issue is not its charts position, it's its quality. The production could've been better, some songs feel kinda unfinished and then you have the Myah issue. I was really happy with the album at first, because the songs felt very different to everything she had done before and because it was something newly released, so of course the excitement took over. As time passed and I could annalize the album and be objective I realised that there were things that were not ok, that's why I dislike it. Charts don't mean a thing to me because Tom's Diner is one of my favourite songs released by her in the last years and it didn't even chart, so yeah, it's fine if you enjoy that album (I actually do from time to time too) but you can't blame those who don't and call them "fake fans" just because we have an opinion 2
