Is Ciara's 'Work' really going to flop in the UK? :(

I can't believe VV is flopping....'Shark in the Water' has such a radio-friendly chorus!

It was No1 on some 4Music countdown yesterday I believe....not sure how much that relates to its success in the UK. I don't have high hopes for this though, Britney's done well this era; No1 smash in Womanizer, Circus peaked at a very respectable No3, album has sold well worldwide and obviously the tour has been amazing for her. Probably the most successful music act this year, with Beyonce close behind.

'Tell Me What You're Name Is' would have been a great hit in Europe, and 'Pucker Up' would have worked well in the US, 'Work' would have too.

Really? I think 'Single Ladies' and 'Halo' could pretty much become some of the definitive Beyonce songs, alongside the likes of 'Crazy In Love' and 'Irreplaceable.'

I think the big problem with Keri not hitting the 'big time' yet is that her associations with all these big names is actually detrimental to her; she needs a track where she stands alone and doesn't have the 'featuring' tag after her name, she needs to establish her credibility. I really thought 'Energy' would do better than it did in the US, and think it would be a perfect release for the UK market. Secondly, not all of her songs on her album have cross-over appeal outside of the R&B/Urban vein, which Rihanna had and is why she was propelled to worldwide super stardom. I don't think Keri is going to hit the big time with her debut, 'Knock You Down' was pleasant enough and got her recognised but I think her sophomore effort will hopefully put her in a better stead at attacking the charts.

Yeah, Because Of You was the rare exception it seems. I don't think I'd mind a performance scene or two in Already Gone, the chorus does have the 'oomph' that could be suited to a performance scene. I'd rather her not go down the bride route because they've already played that out BTHE.

Hmmmm I hope this isn't too Urban for the UK to take. Much prefer 'Return the Favour' to this, hell 'Energy' is a good ballad that would have done ok in the UK.

But they're like a staple of Clarkson music videos lol!

I've imagined the video to be set in the desert...Kelly and a lover are driving along at the start, and Kelly pretty much sings the the first verse to him before getting out of the car for the chorus and belting it out to him in the car, before he reverses and drives off into the sunset.

It's also at like No.4/5 on the R&B 100. Really surprised its doing this well tbh, considering its a fairly average song and the album has sold a bucket-load now. Good on Bey!

Wow, Taylor really is looking to beat her previous peak of 'You Belong With Me'....great stuff considering how MUCH her album has sold :o

Am I the only one who likes this song?! 'This isn't another girl meets boy'....love it!

I love her intro! 'My name is Lady GaGa....and this is my house.' Is there a HQ version of that on YouTube anywhere?

The problem has definitely been the single releases, and hopefully with 'Already Gone' just around the corner, it will help to bring up album sales that have so far been fairly disappointing, but not exactly surprisingly so. 'My Life' needed to be first because it was a slice of commerical pop that re-introduced Kelly to the world; after the shaky 'My December' they couldn't risk NOT doing something like 'My Life' in fear that fans would have just turned their back on Kelly once and for all. The mistake definitely lies in releasing 'IDHU' second....first off, as a Katy Perry reject, it was never really going to do well in the first place and secondly, the song doesn't build up to an anthemic chorus like its predecessor does.

La Roux was released at like 4PM today, and she's already eaten into his lead like a beast *chuckle*

There should have been more screen-time of Pink dancing about in the 'Funhouse', instead of the video pretty much consisting of her just walking, walking, crawling, walking and then riding. Eh.

Hmmmm 'Everyone's At It' would have been a good third choice, it definitely needs to be released, such an epic song, one of Lily's best. 'Kabul Sh!t' is an amazing bonus track that deserves its place on 'It's Not Me...' as a proper song.

She's not promiscuous, but she likes to tour the world and sleep with really good looking people. Whatever you say love :lol:

I'll be very surprised if 'Ego' does well at all in the US, I mean considering how huge 'I Am...Sasha Fierce' is, Bey's done pretty well single-wise for this career; If I Were a Boy - 3 Single Ladies - 1 Diva - 19 Halo -5 I can see 'Ego' doing a 'Diva' and charting quite low in the H100, it's a nice track but definitely should have been left as album-only. I think 'Sweet Dreams' will round this era off really nicely, and I'm sure her album sales will continue to pick up as she continues to tour well into the end of the year.

Seeing as I love doing creative stuff like this, I'd like to know everyone's ideas and set-lists if there had been a Blackout Tour. I'll post mine below.... TITLE: Britney Spears, The Blackout Tour STAGE LAYOUT: The central piece of the set would be a huge, rounded titantron with many other smaller circular screens branching off it, with the combination of screens roughly making up the image of a dated flash-bulb camera. The stage would stand infront of the behemoth screen, and the band would line its sides. A smaller 'B' stage would be placed into the crowd, with a catwalk connecting both stages. SET LIST IT'S BRITNEY BITCH As the tour starts, the lights would black out as various flash bulbs are shown on screen, the odd one beginning to flicker and blink on and off, culminating in them all going off at once, creating a large kaleidoscopic effect on the circular screens. A video montage of various Britney headlines and images are flashed, interspersed with the flashbulbs until they culminate in one final bold heading; IT'S BRITNEY BITCH. Electric guitars are heard as the band is illuminated to the side of the stage and the screens feature red and white 'sound waves' as the opening notes of 'Piece of Me' start up and Britney with a group of dancers rise up from below the stage. Britney has been poured into a black leather cat-suit while her dancers around her are clad in white from head-to-toe. 01| Piece Of Me As Britney sings the final line, the lights go out. The fans scream as they return and Britney and the dancers have regrouped. 02| Why Should I Be Sad Once Britney finishes the song with the closing 'Come on...' the dancers flee the stage and are replaced by a flock of solely male dancers dressed in baggy pants and tank tops. They swarm around Britney as they lead into.... 03| Boys 'Get nasty' marks the end of the first segment and Britney heads off stage as the male dancers regroup in the centre of the stage and begin a dance break-down to an extended outro of 'Boys.' THE PRINCESS OF POP HAS RETURNED As the dance-breakdown ends, the dancers disperse to either side of the stage as the flash-bulbs once again appear on the titantron behind the stage as lyrics from various Britney songs flash on/off on the screen. They finally settle on 'It's been a while' and as it appears on screen, Britney utters it over the speakers, and the orchestral opening of 'Break The Ice' begins as Spears descends from the ceiling wearing blue. 05| Break The Ice 06| Hot As Ice As 'Hot As Ice' ends, the speaking excerpts of 'Me Against The Music', 'Break The Ice' and 'Overprotected' are played as the lights flicker on and off. When they return on, Britney has a microphone in hand and is standing on a chair with her dancers seated on chairs around her. 07| Overprotected 08| Stronger BRITNEY AGAINST THE WORLD As Britney and her dancers move off-stage, a montage of Britney's past media plights is played over the titantrons, with the eventual message being that Britney has managed to overcome these and as a result is now a better person because of them. The tour returns with Britney speaking overhead: "It's been a while....Are you ready? Let's go...." 09| Me Against The Music 10| Toxic With the closing notes of Toxic, Britney addresses the crowd and thanks them for supporting her throughout everything and dedicates this next song to them. A swing is lowered which Britney sits upon as the opening piano melody of 'Everytime' begins to play. 11| Everytime WELCOME TO THE SPEARS-SHIP Once 'Everytime' finishes, Britney ascends to the rafters of the stadium to close the third part of the show. The screens turn to outer space and show various stars and planets as an vocodered voice informs the audience; "Welcome aboard the Spears-ship...commencing launch in....10....9.....8.....7....6....5...WARNING...System Malfunction.....Hyperdrives on red alert.....WARNING....Entity spotted....Location indeterminable....WARNING.....WARNING.....WARNING.....WARNING...." The voice stops as Britney makes her return from the roof, dressed once again in an all black cat-suit with diamonds encrusted on it. As she is lowered the opening synths of 'Radar' marks the start of the fourth act. 12| Radar 13| Freakshow (Walk to the B stage during song and change-over) 14| I Got That (Boom Boom) As 'I Got That..' closes, Britney returns up the cat-walk to the Main Stage to excerpts of both 'Toxic' and 'Radar' and when she finally reaches the back of the stage, she performs one final dance-breakdown before descending below the stage. RETURN TO EARTH As Britney descends below the stage, the voice-over says "WARNING....Entity averted....Blackhole spotted....ALERT...Return to Earth is imminent...ALERT...Prepare all landing positions....ALERT....Blackhole located....ALERT....ALERT....ALERT...." Followed by a sudden screech accompanied by the electric guitar strings before the entire stage just blacks out. The set remains this way for a minute or so before the lights return and the voice calmly states 'Blackout averted.' 15| Baby One More Time (excerpts of Lucky and Oops!) 16| You Drive Me...Crazy 17| My Prerogative When 'My Prerogative' finishes, Britney takes a bow and heads to the back of the stage to a 'Piece Of Me' outro. She descends below it and it looks like the concert is finally over. ENCORE...BITCH Another video montage begins to play showing Britney's progression as a performer and artist, all of her hits to date are featured all leading up to and focusing on one final and iconic video; 'Gimme More.' A pole rises up from below the stage with Britney, black wig and hat on, leaning on it. 18| Gimme More Britney takes her final bows before thanking the fans and disappearing off stage for a final time. The band strikes up a closing outro as snippets of the 'Gimme More' video are continuously played over the titantron before finally zooming on a close-up of Britney's face, who winks, before fading....to....black...(out).

Hmmm...my track-listing would have to go: 1) Womanizer 2) Piece Of Me 3) Circus 4) Unusual You 5) Quicksand 6) Gimme More

Oh no...I'll scrap Mannequin then :)
