The mix of the song + video actually gave me goosebumps this time...
I just remembered this drawing I drew of the FF cover last year (Her hair is so messy, so I just drew small parts of it each time = the drawing wasn't finished before 5-6 months later), what do you think of it? The nose is a bit too long though..or the eyes are too big..
I realized that Blur, Mannequin, Mmm Papi + My Baby aren't that bad when I listened to Circus the other day, those are still the weakest, but I didn't bother skipping them yesterday and I liked them more
!
I don't find "Blur", "Mmm papi", "Mannequin" and "My Baby" as weak tracks, I never understood why her fans hate so much to these songs.
IMO there are not weak or filler tracks on "Circus" I think the album is not repetitive at all, every song has its own theme, concept and vibe, I think is well composed, I find it sincere, and I always appreciate non-repetitive albums... For Example "Femme Fatale" is a repetitive redundant album, it features way too much songs about sex and dance.
IMO The problem with "Circus" is that is wayy too pop and commercial, I think is too safe and clean. . . she should've taken more risks, and I find it burns out and gets old quickly.

They're just not as "me" as other tracks on the album are, probably other fans feel the same, I dont really know
Circus has no big fillers though, and I agree with a lot of the things you are saying.
Circus is still a solid album, I love it and it doesn't deserve the hate from fans it receives. The album does have problems though. The tracklisting order is a complete mess, if they took out the filler tracks (Mmm Papi, Blur, My Baby, etc... they are the definition of filler tracks) and replaced them with the flawless bonas tracks the album would be much stronger. The album currently doesn't consistently flow well together either and feels all over the place with different sounds not blending in properly, that's something Femme Fatale, Blackout and In The Zone did perfectly by managing to have all tracks flow so well together in one listen.

the most fans I know hate those songs... Specially "Mmm papi" and "My baby"
"My baby" is not commercially appealing at all, and there are flaws with the lyrics .... but I would never consider a filler a song that is about her kids and shows her real feelings and human side, totally relevant song on the album.
"Mmm papi" , call me crazy but I think and I could swear this song is actually a fun song about her father, the lyrics are written on a grateful way, and if you listen to the lyrics you'll find them sweet more than sexual, is just a grateful girl to a man that's been there for her all the time.
Britney's dad is the guy that saved her and has been there for her no matter what, highs and lows.
Blur and My Baby will remain my favorite non-single tracks off of Circus, each are perfect examples of the versatility in her voice. Her best vocals on the album

Well, Circus is a synopsis of her first 5 albums.
It has middle of the road pop ( out from under, unusual you, my baby), urban pop (kill the lights, blur), dance pop (shattered glass,circus) suggestive pop (If you seek amy, lace and leather and phonography), anthem pop (Womanizer, ) with her usual quirky/unique pop (mmm papi, mannequin, rock me in)
