Ew why Britney

So much better than the FF tour and the Las Vegas one.
I've learnt thru the years to appreciate the Circus era, it was her last great era.

We all love the holy lip-syncer

CIRCUS PT2 IS COMING
I CAN FEEL IT Y'ALL
THE LAS VEGAS THEATRE STAGE IS BEING RENOVATED INTO THE CIRCUS TOUR STAGE
WE ALL KNOW BRITNEY KEEPS ALL HER TOUR STAGES AND PROPS IN A HOUSE IN LOUISIANA

You mean Adam

I think the Circus era is so overrated by fans and the album isn't even that great either. I mean its obviously better than Britney Jean of course, but its still kind of bland.

Femme Fatale is her last great album imo and for reasons that often don't make any sense its put on the backburner by fans. I mean i've seen people argue that its too shallow and im like are you serious? Its a Britney Spears record.

A really great show. I loved every minute of it.

I think the Circus album is underrated and your think like the majority does.
Femme Fatale was like listening to the same (great) song all the time.
But Circus had a variety that is hard to find on a Britney album.

It's unfair to compare completely three different albums though. Britney herself said that Circus was like different flavors of ice cream where Femme Fatale is a more consistent album like Blackout (I'm not comparing these two, I'm talking about consistency )

Circus is wildly overrated, but FF is not far behind. It is mostly shallow in the sense of just being tailor made for radio/clubs without much of a feeling of her being "there" for it and the promo did not help this claim. For what it's worth, at least BJ showed her a bit more active in the process and the E! documentary did help with the behind the scenes peek at her life again. I think if she had been more "with it" during the FF promo, it probably would not have as much of a bad rap. Neither that nor Circus is an awful album by any means though. Just lack the sonic creativity and aggressive energy of ITZ and Blackout, respectively. As far as successful variety goes though, ITZ takes the cake. It was adventurous, innovative, but also cohesive. Her promo during that era was on point too.

she betta stan for the greatest era of ALL TIME!

First of all, shes never once made an album that wasn't tailor made for radio/clubs and the closest shes ever come to anything personal was with In the Zone. I agree.

Blackout is not nearly as innovative as its always heralded to be, it sounds like a reflection of its time, not a glimpse into the future. But is it one of her best albums? Yes. As I believe Femme Fatale to be as well. Because Femme Fatale is everything Britney stands for, infectiously fun shallow dance/pop with blatant commercial sexuality. Its like Blackout's bubblegum sister.

Circus imo, isn't a terrible record (like BJ) but its bland for being a Britney Spears album. The bridges are all lacking, its kind of just the run off from Blackout gone in a significantly less interesting direction. Yet its ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS heralded by fans, imo because it was the first time she properly promoted an album and her first era since In the Zone where it seemed like there was genuine effort put in. I get that. But did the album and her tour meet up? Not to me.

It wasn't even a good era, let alone the greatest era of "ALL TIME".

I think the problem with FF for me is that it literally comes across like every track was just handed to her very quickly and like she wasn't present for them or the era.That is more of what I meant by "tailor made"... kind of what would happen to a new artist who just came out of AI or something -- throw as many by-the-numbers hits against the wall and hope that something sticks. As a major pop star obviously the goal of her albums is to get hits. FF though was one of the most noticeable times though where she really seemed like she had no idea what was going on and was just on auto-pilot.

While I adore Blackout, I don't think it is as sonically innovative as ITZ, but I think the aggressive/IDGAF approach to a lot of the tracks was so fitting for her persona at the time that it was (albeit inadvertently in a lot of ways) quite representative of her at the time, especially in hindsight. I do think tracks like "Freakshow" and "Toy Soldier" were a bit more forward thinking than most others though. Overall, I feel like the tone of Blackout is what makes it brilliant.

I completely agree that Circus is unjustly praised to the high heavens. It didn't click with me on that same level either, but it seemed like it brought it's own share of fans back to her for a bit so I guess for her sake that's great. However, as an album, it's uneven by her standards. Definitely has some gems though (namely: "Blur", "Mannequin", "Womanizer").

Clearly her best tour along with Onyx

This. I've always found it overrated.

The tour was amazing tho.

But at the same time the only album where I feel like Britney hasn't been on auto-pilot is In the Zone. So that reasoning for not liking Femme Fatale makes absolutely no sense from my perspective. It doesn't seem like she was present for Femme Fatale anymore than she was for Blackout or Oops or whatever. Is Femme Fatale jam packed with Britney brand infectious trash pop? Absolutely. So whats the real problem with it? There is none. Unless of course one just didn't like the sound of the record as I didn't care for the general electro-bland sound of Britney Jean.

And Circus definitely has a pair or two gems. Unusual You and Phonography being my top favorites, Blur is pretty great. Mannequin is kind of the blandness I was talking about. I mean its fine I guess but it goes nowhere and the bridge is nothing. It sort of just blends into the walls. Womanizer is okay.

The DWAD tour though >>>>
