J-o-e

Oh Alexandra....it's just...yeah.

FF was more like Sweet 7 for me, Soulless, lifeless, lacking any personality...but a great album nonethless, BJ is just..lazy.

After Britney Jean I'm not sure I want a new album, the lack of quality in all aspects of the era was extremely off putting, and its pretty clear at this point we're not going to get any decent promo or effort from her again.

I expected a bit more from the promo's...its good for her but overall that chorus is just lacking any energy, it reminds me of Notorious in the sense that you expect it to pick up around the chorus just for it to fall flat, and before you know it it's the next verse and nothing really happened!

Jesus, I thought Live It Up was bad, this is hideous...I'm not sure who's behind all these random sub par songs being thrown out but she needs to get it in check.

This is definitely a grower, and lord knows the video helped, glad to see this might crack the hot 100 too and give her a bit more exposure. Hopefully Fancy can go top 10 over here, its far more enjoyable than CYL and Bounce....IMO.

I haven't listened to the single mix since the Dreaming Mix leaked, Sia's backing vocals make it that much more perfect.

I've really come round to the album however this coupled with Young Blood have to be two terrible single choices. I hope it does well for the sake of the album but Deer and the Wolf, Love is A Camera or Wrong Side Of The Sun all would have made better choices.

BJ is one of her worst for me, even her earlier albums still had the iconic singles on them, whilst its great Britney is writing on these tracks they still feel very dull and throwaway, FF might have been lifeless and essentially didn't feel like a Britney album but it was much more enjoyable than a half assed attempt at a "personal" album.

Glad to see her having some success with this new sound, finally gave the album a listen and whilst its not particularly to my taste its a pleasant surprise after Make A Scene. My favourites so far are The Deer & The Wolf, and Love Is A Camera.

3, I love rock and roll and the majority of Britney Jean.

Are they trying this again since the current name seems to be generating next to no interest...

Fallen to #22 in the US :(.

I wouldn't say many people are overacting, its just disappointing to not see her début on top in the US at least, or even top 2.

Only expected to do 115-125k in America, looks like she might miss out on the top spot to 1D.

Now That I Found You is such a blatant rip off of Wake Me Up in places, so disappointed with this album :(.

Britney Jean is such a disappointment, hopefully it will grow on me in time but I really think this could be my least favourite album of hers. Alien - 8/10 - Nice relaxed song, could have done without the changes but still good. Work Bitch - 9/10 - Still amazing and catchy as hell. Perfume - 8/10 Much prefer the Dreaming mix but still great. It Should Be Easy - 0 - Can't stand Will.I.Am, but Big Fat Bass was bearable...this is all kinds of hideous Tik Tik Boom - 4/10 - Boring as hell Body Ache - 5/10 - Not much better than Tik, just a very bland song Til' Its Gone - 8/10 - Much more power than the previous two attempts before it, but still nothing too special. Passenger - 7/10 - I've not really got the hype around this song it sounds a little dated and nothing like the Britney I love, but then not much of this album does. Chillin' With You' - 8/10 - Reminds me of something that would be on BOMT, in a good way though, I just dont like Brit and Jamie singing "chu" it especially doesn't fit Jamie's voice. Don't Cry - 5/10 - Bland and forgettable ending to a lacklustre album.

Listening now, eurgh It Should Be Easy is horrendous.

Any way of streaming it from the UK?

I have to agree with others about the lack of excitement for this album, especially after the snippets it just sounds so flat and typical Will.I.Am dullness.

Will.I.Am needs to f*** off forcing himself on at least one song per album he does a song for. Other than that I'm excited for the duet with her sister.

Boring as hell, she should have just thrown the album out after Beautiful.

As much as I agree they needed Keisha in the sense that without her the band did die, I thought 3.0 was more about Amelle...unpopular opinion on here I'm sure.

They sign a £1million contract and now that's it...I find it hard to believe they would give up so easy without a second single with more of a promotional push.

I like it, I don't love it just yet...it feels like the chorus could be more powerful and I'm not sure how this will fair as a single, but as a change in sound I hope it works for her.
