I don't really see how Femme Fatale was "safe" Britney was experimenting with musical genres no one else had experimented before (at least in the pop music sphere). The only reason people are saying it was "safe for her" was because she has been doing dance music for the better part of a decade now. That in itself doesn't mean she isn't experimenting with different dance elements though.

I don't think she's a hasbeen. She had three Top 10 singles from her latest era.
The other things, though.. and saying it really hurts me because my childhood was everything about her along with Christina.

This thread is ridiculous.
Neither album was risky.
Britney EXPERIMENTED with dubstep and yes SHE experimented because she wanted Rusko to work with her before Dr. Luke was even involved with Femme Fatale, but I forgot all the details about that and why it fell through. Not here for y'all acting like Britney has nothing to do with anything. But regardless of the dubstep moments, Femme Fatale was MOSTLY safe. But you also have to remember Britney has been doing dance music long before anyone else, so all of you saying she "jumped on a bandwagon" make no sense at all, especially when the lead single included a breakdown that has been shamelessly mimicked since (there have already been articles posted in this thread that credit HIAM with bringing dubstep into mainstream). It's more like Britney was driving the freakin wagon.
If ANYBODY "jumped on the bandwagon" it is Christina Aguilera with Bionic. And every media outlet will tell you that. For any of you to say Britney jumped on a bandwagon when all she did was continue to perfect a genre she is a pioneer in is ridiculous.
And I like Bionic, but this thread is obviously just an attempt to have it at the top of somebody's chart.

No, she didn't. She recorded the vocals for the songs Larry and her soon-to-be-husband chose for her. She bought some Starbucks and then she picked her favorite songs from the whole process.
I give you the reason on that bandwagon thing about Britney though. Did people forget Blackout?.
On Christina, NMT and..Desnudate? were two songs from a 23 tracks album.

Britney herself recently said that she and THE PRODUCERS listen to the songs and feel them out and if they like them then they write on a few of them, maybe change some stuff up and then record them.
Don't you dare speak on something you have no knowledge of.

I'm gonna ignore the first part of your post because you're being childish.
From Bionic to Prima Donna, the first section of Bionic was Christina trying desperately to fit in and deliver with the dance craze. Sex For Breakfast to You Lost Me were standard expected Christina ballads. I Hate Boys, My Girls and Vanity were afterthoughts.
The only risky portion of Bionic were the bonus tracks.
I don't care if the album was 50 tracks - it wasn't risky.

As an artist, yes.
Does she dance? Nope.
Does she sing? I haven't seen any song of hers without excessive auto-tune since Shadow (2003).
Did she ever sing? In the studio, with some proper help, she could. Live? Never, her vocal performances have always been atroscious. And please don't tell me she used to be a good singer, because she never was. Now, in her defense, I think this is because of the excesive use of nasal voice (this strongly harms a voice), fault of her producers tbh.
Does she write her songs? Nope. Adding some lines does not count. Btw, has she ever? I think ITZ is the album where she was "the most involved in" yet her songs have like 5 - 10 writers each.
Does she produce music? Nope. She has never done.
Does she direct her music videos? Nope.
Britney has never been an artist. At most, she was a dancer (a very good dancer, btw). She used to be a solid entertainer. Her biggest weapon, besides her beauty and her marketing team, was her charisma. Which she has clearly lost. Is she scared of people or something?.

Bionic was throwing **** at the wall and seeing what sticks. The album had TOO much going on, no sense of direction...and all of the tracks were 'blah.'
There was nothing risky about Bionic, aside from maybe the title track and "Woohoo." Everything else was generic and not risky.

Have you not listened to I Am, You Lost Me, Lift Me Up, Stronger Than Ever, Monday Morning...? If those weren't risky and incredible might I add, what is?

Oh, I never said it was risky. I mentioned NMT and Desnudate because of the "dance" trend somebody accused her of following. I don't find Bionic as an experimental album either. Some tracks (less than the half) are experiments, but that's it. Some of her fans blame the label, but in the end she recorded them and she even co-wrote some of them, she could've delivered better and more quality songs, but she decided to record Prima Donna, Desnudate and I Hate Boys.
Compared to Femme Fatale, though, Bionic is more experimental.

Waiiiit. So you are saying that if she adds lines to a song, takes some things out and rearranges some of the melodies that it doesn't count? And directing their own music video? Producing their own songs? what kind of bootleg pop artist? I mean collaborating with the video producer is fine but directing the damn thing?
I'm done!

This post is full of such LIES.
She does dance. She lacks energy sometimes, I admit, but watch any Femme Fatale tour video and her choreography still ***** on everyone out right now except maybe Gaga (but they have two different dancing styles). And what does dancing have to do with being an artist? Can Katy Perry dance? NO. Can Adele dance? NO. Dancing is a PLUS because Britney is an entertainer.
If Shadow is the last song you heard without excessive autotune, you either went deaf or you haven't listened to any album since In The Zone or you have missed every leak that has happened in the past 6 or 7 years.
Britney does sing. Yes, she has horrible live performances but she also has good ones, like everyone else. And if anything, her ass could belt out some notes when she was little. So don't say she could NEVER sing.
She doesn't write? Ignorance. Someday, Everytime, My Baby, etc.
She directed Do Somethin and was set to direct Radar.
If all the stuff you "listed" doesn't make someone an artist, then no pop star out right now is an artist because PLEASE direct me to the one that produces their own songs, writes without co-writers, dances, sings well and directs their own videos ALL THE TIME and I will sit here and wait.

Christina Aguilera, Lady GaGa, Shakira and Madonna all have co-directed many of their music videos. Of course they're helped and advised by professionals in the technical parts of the process, but they do.
Christina, Katy, GaGa, Shakira, Mariah, among others have written most of their songs. And I'm not talking about adding lines, I'm talking about writing the songs by themselves. Madonna, GaGa, Shakira, Robyn, Amy Winehouse, hell even Katy Perry co-produce part of the music.
The fact that your standards are low and sorry, but also mediocre does not mean real artists are not suppossed to do their thing.
