ValetGirls Posted June 14, 2014 #1 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I appreciate Circus now before, I found it scatterbrained and supported by a tour with a lot of walking and flailing of arms. But lately, I've been listening to it more and more, and something's changing. It's so fun, it's so upbeat and poppy, and I think it's rather underrated as a whole. I'm also starting to appreciate UY a lot more than before So what if it has My Baby? So what if I still have no fucking idea what she's saying in Mannequin? The gems, bops & hits in it are numerous (Womanizer, Circus, IUSA, L&L, Out from Under, Mannequin, Unusual You, Shattered Glass, Blur, Rock Me In, Phonography, Amnesia, Quicksand), and the tour is a two hour indulgence of production, which I really don't mind at this point, because in all honesty, it's an entertaining show to watch as a whole as opposed to fixating on one element of it Do I think it's flawless. Nah brah, but it definitely deserves some cred. EDIT: lifting my flawless translation of Mannequin's flawfree lyrics from the Mannequin Appreciation thread: [kickass instrumental that get me pumped up] [words that I don't understand] ...okay, around may, I get things... [words] ...blue skies, [words] backless dresses, excess... Icannahelpmaself, I'm juzdoowinwutayedoo [words] ..but I will survive you... [words that repeat "like it" (?)] IF YOU WANNA JUST SCREAMMMMMMMM Scream your lungs out IF YOU WANNA JUST CRYYYYYYYYYYYY Cry your eyes out [words] You can cry your eyes outta your head (?) Idontcareidontcareidontcarei-idontcare You can cr-cr-cr-cra-cr-a Muh face like a mannequin hemegain, hemegain, hemegain, hemegain You can cr-cr-cr-cra-cr-a Muh face like a mannequin [hella words I don't understand] ...can't impress me... PRECHORUS CHORUS [kickass instrumental, then the teeniest acoustic guitar breakdown that slays careers:] DUN-DA-DUN-DA-DUN-ZZZSSHHHHHWOOOOOORRRRR [kickass instrumental continues] [meandering words] [Lace & Leather starts] 1
britneystanstan Posted June 14, 2014 #2 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Circus is one of the top five songs of her career I still don't like the album that much, but it's better than BJ
ValetGirls Posted June 14, 2014 Author #4 Report Posted June 14, 2014 You used to not like circus? I've just never appreciated it like I do now. It's like the album is debuting to me for the first time
Lenore Posted June 14, 2014 #5 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I am definitely surprised you didn't see the light sooner But welcome! Circus is my second favorite album. 1

ValetGirls Posted June 14, 2014 Author #19 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Slayngerous and Slaybroad are amazing I listen to Slayngerous on the daily. If anything is to be even remotely considered Toxic 2.0, it's Slayngerous btw Rockstar isn't from Circus I think it leaked with Dangerous/Abroad, so I always lumped them together. Idk what other era it'd be tho, ITZ/Britney?

Idk what other era it'd be tho, ITZ/Britney? yeah, it's probably Britney/In The Zone era... I love Rockstar tho I wish Dangerous was released, this song fits Circus perfectly so I don't get why they didn't put it on the album

I love Rockstar tho I wish Dangerous was released, this song fits Circus perfectly so I don't get why they didn't put it on the album I have no idea why it wasn't tbh they shoulda put it on the main album, and relegated a lesser-known flawless gem like Shattered Glass to to be another kickass bonus track. idk, it's hard to shuffle the songs around, but Dangerous shoulda made it! It screams Circus theme!
sodramatic Posted June 14, 2014 #22 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Circus has some amazing tracks, Circus, Womanizer, phonography and my fave Kill The Lights <3

It screams Circus theme! exactly, it should have replaced Shattered Glass and make this song a bonus track for example... I prefer Dangerous than Shattered Glass. but I'm happy with the actual tracklist, we got 19 (!!!) amazing tracks + some unreleased songs have leaked I also wish Rock Boy or Trouble were on the standard edition. I love these songs very much unfortunately Rock Boy is only available in the Mexican iTunes and Trouble was a bonus track if you pre-ordered Circus : (
ValetGirls Posted June 14, 2014 Author #24 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Circus has some amazing tracks, Circus, Womanizer, phonography and my fave Kill The Lights <3 KTL is one of those songs that I don't listen to often, but when I crave to hear it, I need to hear it
