Aww, thanks! 
We have to be positive, the single has done phenomenally without any promo, a video is going to clearly put it back on the map, and give it a base in which will make it stable for period of time and gather sales.

somehow ... i dunno ... i'm scared for brit.
i mean ... i don't wanna see her fall just because she didn't promote enough.
i love them both equally (britney and gaga) but i think gaga is doing better in terms of promotion and stuff.
Today Show, 60 Minutes, Grammy, Ryan, Leno ... that was just her weekend !!!
why isn't she [brit] doing any performances, radio interviews, tv interviews ...???
sure. she doesn't need to cause she's got the fanbase already but she used to and i'm used to that promo schedule.
ugh. this is so ... frustrating.
i need a cake.
now!

I think the same thing that plagues Ke$ha, also applies to the general view of Britney in the Grammy world, though in a slightly different way. Britney's work is forever seen as lo-brow bubblegum because she's the sexy, blonde, pop princess. Despite the fact that a lot of her work has been consistently better than that of her peers and has been just as well-recieved critically (if not better received), she's still not likely to get nominated for the "big name awards" because there's still that underlying feeling that her work is somehow inferior. They have no qualms throwing her a bone in the dance category cause nobody pays attention to it. Why bother to nominate her elsewhere when they can play it safe and not have to worry about their credibility by giving Beyonce her 27th Grammy for a mediocre album/single. I think Britney's people realize this, and to me, that sort of explains why they've never been that concerned about submitting her for certain categories or campaigning for her. The sad thing is, I think if Britney did ever win an ROTY Grammy or anything of that nature, the backlash would be insane. People hold onto this silly notion that the Grammys are an exercise in awarding quality, and that Britney is incapable of producing quality work. Neither of these things are true, but the skepticism surrounding her is rich and prevents many people from recognizing her greatness.

Sad, but true.

Ooh, which University are you going to (if you don't mind me asking)?

I'm so looking forward to the premiere, but I'm also dreading it....am I alone in this.
If they would just SHOW SOME DAMN dancing in the teaser, I could adjust my expectations to be more fitting, but now I don't know what to ****ing think. I know the video will be beautiful, the direction will be stunning, and the outfits will be banging, but now I want to know about the dancing.

"Ugh this is so frustrating, I need a cake." sounds like something Britney would say. 
There really is no need for us to start freaking out. HIAM has 85 million audience, not 20, if she decreases 3 million today that's not a big deal. The video will pick the song and shoot it up, we will recover these decreases the same day the video premieres, and from that point it will start rising. If there's promo, it will pass 100 millon. Cool off y'all.
Don't worry about Gaga, in her 8th and 9th day she will face 10/20 million decreases that will contribute to Britney's increase.

Aw!

The premiere is tomorrow, so stop fretting about it. You'll just have to wait for the moment of tuth like the rest of us.
Expect better than circus tour choreography, and not better than "slave 4 u" video choreography. I think those are good expectations.

THIS WEEK: #28 Hot Digital Songs.
78,000 downloads sold.
Total sales in 5 weeks: 868,000
Glee + superbowl is why she is so low on the chart, but 78,000 is pretty good only down 4k on last week. That's been good enougth for top 10 sales at quite alot of points last year.
p.s don't hold it agaisnt me if their not real, i saw it on exhale.
