Not a fan but I love going to gigs and it doesn't really matter who's performing. That set list sounds blistering, made me realise how many good tracks Britney actually has. Might go!0 -

Thanks for the video, don't think I'll watch it. Don't want to ruin it on myself.

"Tightrope", a great promotional track from and for her album, hit a sweet #73 in the Irish chart. I'm usually polite on message boards and it gets me nowhere so let me say on this occasion you're talking sh1te.
15 year old girls for the most part don't give a rat's ass about a psychedelic/funk concept album inspired by a 1927 silent German film, nor should they be expected to. When JM gets more airplay and press they'll come round.
It was nauseating in Tripod the other night, hearing D4 heads name dropping "Janelle" as if she was their best mate. Kindly go back to your posing and your pint on the pavement outside Kehoe's.
What are you ****ing on about? 'Typical Dublin pseud attitude' ?I really have no idea what any of your pretentious rant has to do with what I posted.
I was merely pointing out that Janelle Monae is actually very popular. Maybe I was wrong about Tightrope, I presumed it was a hit as I heard it in a club several times and most of my mates seems to be familiar with it but she's currently sitting at number. 7 in the iTunes albums charts. Your coming off as 'nauseating' as those that you are describing in your post.
You still haven't explained what you mean by 'generic Britney fans' either.0 -

BigFatBass wrote: »^You guys are right! Britney's latest albums are awesome and she is really bringing it on tour this time now. Even I admit that she didn't give her all during the circus tour but she really does this time around. Tight choreography, a great body and most of all live singing. Not to mention the amazing production this tour has!
OK FIRST of all a lot of what you just said there is just not true and quite frankly shows that you really don't know what you are talking about. Britney may not have the STRONGEST voice around but its still a really great recording voice. She may not write every song she releases but she also doesn't buy writing credits like a lot of artists (beyonce and gaga etc.) Most songs that Britney has written have been praised by critics. Everytime, Someday and a good amount of the In The Zone album were written by her. One of Britney's least successful albums but most critically acclaimed albums, "Blackout" had her as executive producer. And finally instrument wise she plays the piano!
I do agree with you however that she will probably be remembered for the wrong reasons which is awful. IMO she is a really great artist and isn't afraid to admit that she has weaknesses. She has personally said she only thinks her voice is "OK" and wishes she had one like Christina. She also makes it no secret that most of her singles aren't written by her and has also stated that she sometimes uses playback during her performances due to her dancing on stage. When mentioning that her album isn't doing well and needs to be sold at a discounted price you may wanna look at gaga's latest album which was sold for 99c for its first two days of release to try and sell copies! :S
One other thing I want to clear up. I should really have referred to her recent albums as POP masterpieces, which is what they are. I understand that people who are into hardcore music might not love these albums but as far as pop music goes Blackout and Femme Fatale are a lot better than most of the pop out there atm! Her voice is manipulated quite a lot on blackout but on femme fatale the only voice manipulation happens for affect in songs such as "big fat bass". Other songs such as "criminal", "He about to lose me" and even "Hold it against me" have very little vocal effects.
Sorry for the rant I just feel that she is a true artist and deserves to be seen for what she really is!
She plays the piano?! Wow coz most of her songs are based on that instrument not.
Funny how I never saw lady gaga's album in the itunes for 0.99 because I was dying to hear the songs and kept checking it every day for the 30 second play of tracks.Britneys femme fetal has been for a LOT of weeks since start of April actually priced at 5.99 so you have no point there.
Amazing production of the tour???!!! Seriously have you ever seen a Lady gaga show? where tickets are cheaper than Britneys for the most part? Britney has a swing (again she has followed this route) and a revolving stage and some moving walkway. Groundbreaking and amazing I think not.
Did you hear the Rihanna and Briteny mashup? Rihanna doesnt even have an excellent voice and she made britney sound like a hamster on drugs.
Id hate to listen to your ipod or itunes if you think Britney is a "pop masterpiece". You really need to get out more.
And btw I bet you havent seen her live on her current tour and you are relying on youtube videos of the best bits. Id bet my house she wont sing all her songs live yet ever other major pop act at the moment can and does do exactly that 0 -

OK I just wanna say that I don't want this to turn intp a Britney Vs. Gaga post or some **** like that but seriously I do have to respond to some of the things you are saying.
I NEVER said that the piano was in most of her songs so I don't know where you got that from I simply stated that she can play it and write music on it. I have no point on the discounted album thing? Well now you are just being stupid to be quite honest! In the US gaga discounted her album for 99c and sold it for the first two days at that. She managed to sell 1.11 million copies in its first week (STILL not beating the record of most records sold in a week by a female artist which just so happens to belong to.....BRITNEY) and 800,000 of them were sold at 99c. So you can get off your high horse there.
The production for the femme fatale tour is amazing weather you like it or not. She is on the swing for one song (a ballad which is live by the way) and I dont get what your getting at saying she is following this route again? If your referring to the circus tour then that was a giant turning umbrella and not a swing so get your facts straight first. I never said that this tours production was groundbreaking all I said was that its awesome! Unlike other artists (gaga) Britney didn't need to pay her record company to build her a giant stage.
The S&M vocals only sound bad because you are referring them to rihannas original vocals. This happens all the time the original sounds better cause its what your used to (e.g kesha in the till the world ends remix). Im also just going to ignore your point about my musical taste cause quite frankly that was uncalled for.
NOW the lipsyncing! You really wanna call Britney out on this? She sings over a backing track for most of this tour much like MOST OTHER POPSTARS. Gaga, Rihanna, any of these popstars which you think are singing live most likely are lipsyncing over pre recorded vocals or singing over a pre recorded backing track. ALL popstars do this now! Even tho gaga likes to claim she never lipsyncs she does. (I do admit she sings live for a decent amount of her show but again it is with the help of pre recorded vocals). Next time you wanna compare Britney to other artists out there you should really look into what you are claiming first!0 -

Eh.. Lady GaGa never lip syncs..
Eh.. Yes she does. And more than people think as well.
Proof:

Here you can clearly see her move her mic to and from her mouth with the vocals never changing...

You clearly didn't listen to that carefully. There's playback in the background, and you can clearly tell when it's the playback on it's own, and when it's Gaga with the playback?
maybe it's hard for you to tell the difference since you're used to hearing Britney Spears or something..
Edit: in relation to the Ellen show, that was only a trailer with a CD playback, if you looked at the real performance, that doesn't happen..0 -

Watch Beyonce (who leaves me cold, her "songs" are unadulterated crud) at her Glasto performance online and you'll see it quite clearly in spots. I've seen Kylie twice and she's the same.
I think Britney should sing live more, or push herself to. She has a great deal of passion in her as a woman and a lot more to give as an artist.
BRILLIANTLY PUT! THIS is what I want people to see. Just that Britney isn't the only artist out there who does it! 0 -
