I'm excited for will.i.am too. He's helped her reach a broader audience (we all know his being on S&S helped the song be more accepted by people who would never use a Britney Spears song), she's looked amazing in the videos he's done with her, and I think he has a lot of potential. I really think he's going to help her get a big hit for album 8 if he features in one of the songs. And the fact that S&S is her most viewed video in less than 3 mos.
