Now she has no rights, her brain is mush (needs cue cards to say hi; speaks only 5-10 words), she continues to suffer under conservatorship and now that her career is over (she'll never have another hit), she has no legacy beyond being the stretch-marked white trash lip-synching popstar who went crazy.

Rest in piss.

the fact that you didn't even understand what he was implying and randomly resorted to attacking the mental wellbeing of a person you don't even know hoping everyone would quote it and laugh. even the people that don't like britney saw how pathetic and in bad taste your attempt to 'drag' was and avoided it, except ofc, the queens that still think being bitchy and 'ruthless' on an internet forum about pop music is cool.

Probably, because it's not in the actual Hall of Fame. It wasn't chosen for anything, it was donated to the library. You can also find Nelly's influential 2008 album Brass Knuckles (?), photographs of Mandy Moore, and unauthorized biographies of Katy Perry in that archive.

Blackout is another tragic album by her, In The Zone was her best effort.

Not saying that it's good either.

It's a great album but wow I didn't realize that same writer had such garbage opinions otherwise

“We purchased that CD a few months ago as part of a project involving the acquisition of the most critically acclaimed albums of the past couple of decades,” Andy Leach, director of Library and Archives at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, tells MTV News via email.

Leach cited the album’s appearance on Rolling Stone‘s list of the top 50 albums of 2007 as the reason it ended up on the Rock Hall’s list of album’s to acquire and archive.

I'll take the word of the Library's director over random ATRL user who clearly doesn't know what he or she is talking about.

Yet they specifically went out and purchased Blackout over the other 49 albums on the list. Rob Sheffield his power indeed.

The principle hasn't changed. Whether purchased because the curators are misguided by magazine lists or simply donated by an outsider, there are no real standards exacted to determine what is or isn't eligible for inclusion.

I'm sure Blackout looks cute on the same shelf with Brass Knuckles though.

part of a project involving the acquisition of the most critically acclaimed albums of the past couple of decades

Except it isn't just a regular part of the Library's collection. You understand that library's have special collections, rare collections, etc., right? The Library's director clearly stated that the acquisition of Blackout was for a special project that involves the collection of only the most critically acclaimed albums of the past couple of decades. Not all books in a traditional library are treated the same, just as no two albums in this library are treated the same.

You read way too much into that. "Part of a project" meant that they were given funds for new acquisitions. There is no special section in the library dedicated to the items acquired during this period. It was filed away just like everything else.

So on the one hand you are saying that they were deluded into buying it because of the Rolling Stone article, but on the other hand you are saying that they obtained it just like every other album. Interesting.

Also, it clearly states that the album was obtained as part of a project to collect the most critically acclaimed albums of the past few decades. If they were simply given new funds to purchase albums, why would they go out of their way to purchase Blackout and why would he even bother doing an interview about it? Do you work at this library or are you just making assumptions based on what you believe to be true? Everything that I've said has come straight from the article and interview given by the director of the library, while all you have is unfounded extrapolations.

Because sis, NONE OF THIS MATTERS when it's a part of a library that also includes promotional photos of 98 Degrees.

Did you miss the original question behind the thread? Is Blackout overrated because of a Britney stan on the Rolling Stone payroll? The answer was given, affirmatively, and sourced by you.

Influential in what way? "ahead of its time" -- it's your typical, run-of-the-mill pop album.
