I don't think Britney was miserable during the FF era, just disappointed that her original album was scrapped and that she couldn't do what she wanted. It truly bothers me that other artists' are allowed full control of their records, and Britney is subjugated to the will of her record company. I think she's finding herself again and finally after 5 years, making the album that SHE wants to make and that makes me beyond happy.

Blackout is a great record, don't really see what's to hate about it. I can see how some people prefer albums like Britney or Femme Fatale to it (

) but it's definitely always great to listen to either way.
