What do you think?

oh god............................
From what I just read from breatheheavy, from the fans who attended and britney's half heartedness, I do NOT think she is ready for this... I feel like she is getting PUSHED by Larry, and Jive, She does not seem extremely excited about it at all, and from her acting out yesterday, or lack their of any doing, I think she still has some MAJOR issues, if she is acting out like this in front of her true fans. Again though, that documentary is probably REALLY not comfortable to watch in front of all these people she DOESN'T know, when its about how jailed she feels.
Like, does her dad NOT get it!!!!????????? SHE'S ****ING MISERABLE!!!! She probably hates him, but puts on an act, he seems SO controlling, Ya she might have issues but a conservationship is not exactly the answer. Her life is not being run by herself, and now seeing in to it, i can TELL she does not want to do this era, but its definitely forced. I am SO scared for these performances... sadly, if they happen at all..
I can't even IMAGINE being on her level of stardom and after a YEAR of craziness and performing your last big event to harsh critiscism, like I wold have a BREAKDOWN if i had to be pushed up on the stage....
I love Britney, but from what the fans saw, she does NOT seem ready for this.....

WW..
I think the album being LEAKED this publicly, will hurt her numbers severely.... Sadly to say, I think the album will sell around 250,000-330,000 ... DAMN LEAKERS and PEREZ For whoring it up that the album leaked.

^That's true, but in my case it may have helped her. If it weren't for the leak I would have never even considered buying the album, now I'm really warming up to it!

I think the same... It seems like she's not ready for the "comeback"

^ They are just a few drama queens, you guys really made an elephant out of a little bug. She probably had a bad day, she wasn't in the mood and that's completely o.k - she's not a robot, and she most definitely shouldn't work on 'automatic pilot'. She attended; she answered the question, but just briefly. You all forgot all the amazing things she's done so far over a little thing such as this one – Womanizer's video clip, the photo shoots, the rehearsals, the little commercials, the little interviews, the Madonna performance etc. Relax, and remember – she's going to have some good days and some bad days, she's just a human being.

Given how surprisingly well "Womanizer" is doing and holding up - I honestly think "Circus" could be massive. I'm talking "Toxic"-level hit, but now with the aid of digital sales to boot.
Album sales? #1 for sure. 450k U.S. and 800k WW bow I'm calling.

^ Exactly. letscauseascene1, you're as dramatic as the drama queens over breatheheavy. It's just a one bad day for her and OMG NOEZ SHE AINT READY 4 DIS. What about the endless rehearsals, music videos, incredible album and photoshoots and UPCOMING promo tour and performances that she did so far? Give me a break. Obviously, she's not ready to open up and wide about her personal life yet. But that has nothing to do with her career. If anything, she's doing this to heal her personal life. People need to stop overreacting about every step she does.

I'm predicting 350K the first week in the US, and 700K worldwide.

I think it's all up to how much britney wants to sell.... If she actually wants to promote this album then it's going to be huge. If she continues to release good videos then it's gonna be huge. I don't think the leak is really gonna hurt her, Britney is a legend and is always going to have a huge following, and her "comeback" will certainly help her out. It's all about the tour really, artists really don't make much profit off cds anymore. So if she goes through with the tour than she is going to regain her position at the top without a doubt. Good luck Brit and buy circus.

Domestically it was 298k. And worldwide, I can't remember exactly. I think it was somewhere between 475-550k.

I hope her plane crash in her way to France and she has a meltdown just before dying. I know she's scared of planes.
