IKAG is pretty sexually naughty, as well as IUSA..... I really dunno how i started to compare the two haha. sorry, but just the context of both.
again, I don't like Katy Perry, i think she is dreadful, but it's my opinion and ill keep my mouth shut.

If U Seek Amy has a lot of potential to be huge on the radios and with a good video it might be one of the best songs of 2009

That's nonsesne. IUSA is CLEARLY catchier than IKAG. Both songs are Max Martin production, lesbo anthem , you can also add "So What" here. It has the combination of both songs but only better and smarter. It's ridiculous how radio friendly it is. It's going nowhere but #1.

Kill The Lights -
Total Spins - 51
AI - 0.725
Hot AC - 1
Pop - 42
Rhythmic - 8
Now you get my point?
Btw, last week it had 20 spins on Rhythmic.
It's not my fav' track but like I said, seems like radios like it.

I love the song but it's too short and it's missing something. The chorus is cute but too European for the US radio. It's not the best choice for a single.

ick. IYSA is just an average song with extremely sexual lyrics..i guess it would be a smash in the US because of that

Kill The Lights is 2nd to last on my list for up-beat songs on Circus. I hope it's not a single.

if you seek amy is really catchy...most people i know actually really like the song. i think it would do well on radio. while i like kill the lights, i think its just a repeat of piece of me, but could still do well on radio. while i love shattered glass, nad yea its popular on itunes now, i dont think it will do so well. Out from under isnt the best song from the album, but it seems that they want a "Britney" ballad and this is the best one.

Opinion, opinion.
The song is the most popular in every single poll. Even Max Martin himself called it his best work yet. It's not supposed to be deep, but rather catchy and sexual and people are liking it for what it was made for.

yes, as much as I love "shattered glass" it does feel like it is missing something, perhaps a bridge,

I adore Out From Under. 
The way the verses go into the chorus is just magical. :heart:

Because it doesn't have a proper song structure.
Quote:
REPETITIVE
Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaa huuu
Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaaaaa’
SHORT VERSE
Did I wake you, were you sleepin’, were you still in the bed?
Or is a nightmare keepin’ you up instead?
Oh baby, are you feelin’ guilty for what you did?
If you think you’re hurtin’, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet
CHORUS
Was it really worth it?
Was she everything, that you were looking for?
(To) Feel like a man
I hope you know that, you can’t come back
Cause all we had is broken like shattered glass
You’re gonna see me in your dreams tonight
My face is gonna haunt you all the time
I promise that you gon' want me back
When your world falls apart like shattered glass
Glass, glass, glass
SIMILAR SHORT VERSE
Are you having trouble focusin’ throughout the day?
Do you find yourself still callin’ my name?
Do you wish you could rewind time and take it back?
I bet you realize that she ain’t half the woman I am
IT REPEATS AGAIN..
Was it really worth it?
Was she everything that you were looking for?
(To) Feel like a man
I hope you know that you can’t come back
Cause all we had, is broken like shattered glass
You’re gonna see me, in your dreams tonight
My face is gonna haunt you all the time
I promise that you gon' want me back
When your world falls apart
Like shattered glass
Glass, glass, glass, glass
Like like .. glass (ee ee ee)
Glass, glass, glass
Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaa huuu
Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaaaaa’Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaa huuu
Haaaauh haaaauh haaaauh
Haaaaaaaaa’

So when the song ends you're like... that's it? Cute song but nothing memorable.

and another thing, britney has built her career on being "controversial", and while i dont think IUSA is controversial, many other people WILL, and it will put her keep her name in the public.

I agree, Shattered Glass must NEVER be a single. I love the song, the lyrics... But it does seem incomplete.
