If you see it, only watch Angelina's parts (and Brittany Murphy). The rest of that movie is trash.

When you think about it, no. Gags should not do it. It's more fun and suffering this way.

At least Katy was born a female and beautiful and not birthed out looking like a NYC sewer rat  poor GaGa is ugly, has no fans left, was "raped", "has depression", was "bullied", etc. At least Katy doesn't lie and use real problems that people actually have for her own personal gain, but slay GaGa!!

Ew, why would you want it now? If she did all media outlets would report her death so people would feel sorry for her & maybe buy some of her records. Let her be COMPLETELY over so no one other than the nostalgic gays remember her when she dies/kills herself.

Godfume was suprisingly well received by the critics!

So here’s something we haven’t heard in a while — Britney sounding like she is aware of what she’s doing and what she’s singing, being coherent and putting on a well-emoted performance (though straining the word “natural” to half-rhyme with “call” is weird) and doing so over an actually really good song. Standard-issue electro throb is found everywhere you listen these days, but the piano sounds are raindrops, or teardrops or both and give the song a weird intimacy on the verses and the swirling strings create the appropriate drama over the chorus. This is a finely crafted song, rather than the germ of an idea of one like “Work Bitch!”

I was curious about where Sia’s Twitter hype about Britney’s vocal on their collaboration would lead, and I’ll admit what we got — a return to the huskiness of her early days — was a fantasy of mine I hadn’t expected to see fulfilled. If she’s not totally in control of those long notes, that’s okay: this song takes place in a spiritual midnight (I can hardly believe the personal gift of getting to sing along with Britney about how I hate myself and I feel crazy), her heart peeking out from where it’s been hidden behind the hazy glitz of a circus. There’s a radiance, familiar but real, in the swoony strings, and a cosmic sparkle to those piano high notes. I’ve seen tut-tutting about the definite Sia-ness running through each twist of the vocal line, but I’ve never minded the creative bleed-through that sometimes accompanies collaboration — after all, no woman is an island.

My initial responses to this: 1) Oh no, Britney’s fallen into the K(aty Perry)-hole; and 2) Could “Perfume” be the 2013 “Everytime”? Neither heuristic is really accurate, but I’m happy to be increasingly feeling that the latter impulse gestures better at this song’s strengths. Despite the Perryian blandishment that is the introductory pulse, the chorus ushers Spears into places much weirder and more emotionally precarious. She suspects her man has been cheating, and her response is both animalistic and helpless: “I’m going to mark my territory … I hope she smells my perfume.” Even while it’s emotionally devastating, it’s capitalistically assured: we who sing along can imagine being cuckolded, but even if we have a scent we habitually use, few of us have our name on the product. There are some lines that turn subtext too clearly into text (“I wanna fill the room when she’s in it with you”), but pop hasn’t captured the sound of someone dying inside quite so sharply in a long while.

I was worried Britney wouldn’t be able to perform such acts of tender heartbreak. This gets really close to the heights of “Lucky.” It’s also delightfully narcissistic — not only the lyrics, which on the surface would seem spoiled and bitchy, but for the spun-sugar fragility of the production. Something so light carrying something so heavy — there is something hyper self-aware of her own skills there.

So far away but still so near, Britney is swept off by each chorus’ wave of crystalline electro, just about steadfast atop a sea of misery. It’s the sort of sound that tends to lend itself better to a female vocal — Robyn! — than male — Adam Levine! — and from the opening verse — “such a classic tale” — it’s clear she knows it’s a cliché. If there’s one thing worse than straightforward self-flagellation, it’s chiding yourself for being so obvious. Truth is, as much as it sounds like it here, no-one’s life is a movie. The strings’ uplift towards the end offers hope of a resolution, but by the time it’s over it’s clear that it’s going to take repeated listens.

About a decade ago, Britney Spears released “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman,” a clumsily titled ballad tied to a mostly forgettable film vehicle. It’s easily one of Spears’s worst songs, about as clear an example of a bad ballad possible – sluggish, over the top, the whole thing coming off like a by-committee number polished to an emotionless sheen. It’s everything “Perfume” isn’t. It is imperfect: at times Spears voice sounding just off and the music more on the glitchy side of things. It’s the perfect sonic match for a song where Spears is questioning a relationship, whether she’s just insecure about rekindled connections or in danger of losing something. It’s a nervous song, one that finds our central character trying to reassure her mind that everything’s OK by bathing her man in her preferred fragrance (and, if we believe that this new Spears album is truly her most personal yet, pretty funny to picture her showering the dude in her own branded perfume). Like “I’m Not A Girl,” it revolves around a universal human feeling. Unlike it, “Perfume” actually sounds human.

I hate that he is not invisible to the GP  |
Bruno looks good facially, it's his height that lets him down.

She's already forgotten tho. Nobody outside of Twitter or atrl is checking for her anymore. In before a little power bottom says "but cheek to cheek sold ___!" It only sold because of Tony's name.

I feel kinda bad for Michael Keaton, Birdman is a Oscar winning-comeback for him but this year the Actor category will be so heavy.

I heared a (hot) female colleague blast Perfume the other day off her laptop. A true classic.

There's a girl who goes to my school that tweeted about Perfume one time.
But she has a rep of being a hoe. But she's kinda my girl now.

I think Keaton will win. He has a strong narrative.
