BRITNEY SPEARS CIRCUS ALBUM REVIEW GMA & X FACTOR LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO

 

Britney Spears continued her comeback promo tour with a lipsynched performance of Womanizer and Circus on Good Morning America.

Britney looked great but we just wonder if Brit's hooker outfit on the Disney Channel owned GMA morning talk show was appropriate for the underage viewers. Britney celebrated her 27th birthday which happens to be the same day she is releasing her album Circus.  Britney received the Sarah Silverman treatment overseas in the UK after her lipsynched or mimed performance on the X Factor in the UK. Simon Cowell's X-Factor is the UK equivalent of American Idol where performers must sing live performances and receive scores from judges. Watch Britney's lipsynched X-Factor and GMA performances with her buttocks exposed.

Do you think Britney is ready for a comeback? Do you think poor Britney would still have a career if she wasn't selling what was left of her sexuality?  BritBrit never sings live and she is still able to sell records.
We still can't get the image out of our heads of the Britney Spears period photos during her breakdown phase. At that time poor multiple personality Britney was walking around town without bottoms while wearing fishnets and a bloody sanitary napkin. We're glad to see that Britney looks better but she still seems like she is on the verge of another breakdown. Britney's explanation in the "For the Record" documentary about the headshaving incident that "everyone shaves their heads" and the fact that Brit kept crying throughout is enough proof that Britney is not well.

X Factor viewers were outraged that Britney Spears mimed through her performance of "Womanizer" on Saturday's show. Even Gavin & Stacey star James Corden has pulled himself away from his bucket of KFC to rag on Britney's act:

    They [the contestants] are all better than Britney Spears. I'm not lying. The song sounded great but I've already got the CD. I didn't need to see her come out and mime it. Here are a group of people coming out - not trained, not sold five million albums, singing live and being judged really harshly. Then comes Britney Spears, mimes, does a sort of half-***** performance of thing and then leaves. I was watching it going 'Ppphhrt!' I was a bit over it.

OK, No. 1, James Corden owns a Britney Spears CD? (He didn't even download it from iTunes, he owns the CD!) And, No. 2, you can't suddenly get mad at Britney for lip-syncing. When has she ever sung live? When has she ever sung, period? She just sorta buzzes from the back of her throat. It's part of her brand.

Apparently, according to The Sun, the hits kept on coming for Spears as she did her promotional tour in the UK: "Miss Spears, who will turn 27 on Tuesday, was also jeered for a lackluster appearance at a gay night in London where she neither sang nor spoke." source

Here is a Britney Spears Circus Album review:

Faced with the train wreck of a career that is America's doubly cursed dance-pop diva--the two marriages, the two divorces, lost custody of her two children, two trips to the psychiatric ward and a double-wide list of battles with the paparazzi and other public embarrassments--what is the greedy machine behind Britney Spears, Inc. to do?

Since just letting the woman be is not an option when there's a single dime still to be wrung from her sad spectacle, the answer is to pair the troubled performer with the best hired songwriters and hippest streetwise producers money can buy; attempt to craft a slick mainstream simulacrum of urban club music along with a smattering of ballads to please more sentimental fans; defiantly reference her personal anguish and/or play it for laughs, and most of all rely on what has always been her most potent sales tool: S-E-X.

Wait a minute, you might ask: Didn't we just witness all of this a mere 13 months ago with "Blackout," Spears' fifth album and first alleged worldwide comeback?

Indeed we did, and none of it worked--at least not on the level of her post-Mouseketeers, prime "Slave 4 U" superstardom. Released after a four-year absence from the spotlight, "Blackout" has yet to reach platinum status, with a mere 913,000 copies sold--not bad, but not the big-bucks Britney of the past.

Counting on pop fans' short attention spans and nonexistent cultural memories, B.S., Inc. is working the same gambit again, but this time it's trying much harder. Spears' sixth album "Circus" arrives in stores on Tuesday, her 27th birthday, and it's a much more finely crafted and no doubt more expensive piece of pop product. The hype campaign is more focused this time: Instead of the infamous zombie-like performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, we're getting a 90-minute documentary entitled "Britney: For the Record" produced by her record company and airing on MTV on Sunday. And La Brit is gearing up for a massive tour in 2009 with, oddly enough, only one date officially announced so far: March 30th at the Allstate Arena in suburban Rosemont.

So far, everything seems to be working. The first single "Womanizer" is Spears' first No. 1 hit since "...Baby One More Time" a decade ago. And the select media that's been granted access is reporting that she seems relatively sane, sober and content--though at the price of living under the thumb of her father Jamie Spears, who was granted legal control of her finances and personal affairs during her second hospitalization.

"Britney today has about as many legal rights as when she was in the Mickey Mouse Club," Rolling Stone reports in its current cover story. "She is watched over day and night by security guards Jamie hired (and she's paying for); it's also rumored that Britney's phone calls are closely monitored and that she's not allowed to drive her own Mercedes."

Says the woman herself: "I feel like an old person now... I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything. I just feel like an old fart."

Needless to say, this is not the life Spears sings about on "Circus." Several tracks reference the swirl of insanity surrounding her: "All eyes on me in the center of the ring," she sings in "Circus," while in "Kill the Lights," she gripes, "All the flashin', tryin' to cash in, hurts my eyes.". But as with "Piece of Me" on "Blackout," these complaints seem tired, trite and disingenuous when much of the rest of the album celebrates the sort of behavior that's always landing her in the gossip columns. source
