Child, most of these girls today won't make it to a 7th or 8th album, let alone have the entire music industry hungry for it. Most are already faltering after their debut/second albums. The fact she can compete with the young girls in social media followers and get as much press as them, topping Forbes in terms of female artists, etc. after 15 years in the game is incredible. This is a different time than when Madonna/Janet, and especially the damn Rolling Stones. This entire century is full of fickle buyers and rapidly declining music sales. You have psychotic expectations to think she will just change the industry back to when you could come back from 2 million sellers then jump to 15 million selling album.
It's a blessing that we can have ADELE have a breakout smash or Justin come back to music, otherwise you'd have the No. 1 album of the year selling ~1.5 million or something ridiculous like that. Britney's name and power cannot shift the times. It's too deep in her career for a reinvention, she is solidified to the people and it should not be seen as a failure if she cannot reach 2 million albums in the US, since no one (even the HOTTEST stars of today) else is doing it. Britney in her time of being the best of the best was pushing units like hot cakes. Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, have to either discount heavily or take 2-3 years to reach an admirable amount of album units.
But she can easily win back sales
Circus-style if she puts some pep in her step on stage and impress folks that she's worthy of an album purchase. That includes the music being digestible by a general audience, and not geared to folks who buy "I Wanna Go"-type songs via iTunes. But that clearly won't be a problem with the team of producers right now. The rhythmic-sound for Britney always pushes units ("Me Against the Music"/"Toxic", "Gimme More", "Womanizer"/"Circus", etc.). Mix it with stage presence and being alive during interviews, she will wow.
Also Britney loves doing music and performing. As whats-his-face revealed about "Hold It Against Me" choreography, she just doesn't feel comfortable doing the moves most of you dream she could do like she was 19 years old. She will be ****ing 32 years old this year. I don't care if J. Lo can look like she's having a seizure jumping around or if Beyonce has mastered weaveography, they're different women. You guys write it off as lazy, but she's had two children, back to back, a serious mental breakdown -- in front of the entire world. But oh, she better get out there and dance like she did when she was a teenager. Ungrateful people.
Let her try to please those who want that, you'll end up with more broken knees or something worse to top Gaga's hips.
All she needs is the spark like during Circus Tour for me and some modern choreography. Not psychotic "HIAM"-choreo or whoever the **** choreograped the Fat Female Tour with hand/walkography. Very boring, they limited her.
This is just people using the
Femme Fatale era as a blueprint of like her entire career or something.
That was obviously a rushed affair/misguided and unplanned, literally the ONLY time in her career an era has been so messy. Keep comparing everything to that ONE moment, of course all you have is negative things to say.
Britney won't fail us with 8, I know this.
Sorry for the rant.
