britney has +1.000.000 over gaga this morning, now I dont know
Okay. THIS. IS. IT. I'm done with Britney until the new single/album debuts. I know she probably doesn't have a clue about this, but it still annoys the hell out of me.
Ever since 2009 started her label and management team have been making the most stupid and primary mistakes known, and when you're dealing with someone as big as Britney Spears, you can't keep ****ing up everything over and over again.
Honestly, the only REAL good things about 2009 on what concerns Britney were due to her unstoppable fans support: the tour being an astonishing success and '3' hitting #1 on the Hot 100. Not to mention WE also gave her another VMA. The END.
But I did mention the tour, Pedro. And my point is the big majority of her fans couldn't go to the tour like I did, so, what's left for those people? Really. :-/
Btw... Are you implying we should be happy because there's NOT going to be a tour DVD?

Who said I want it to "take lot". I'm just done with anything related to this era, I think it's an insult not to release a DVD when they had basically a whole year to plan it. But good luck to you and all of those who will stay hopeful.
Sean "The Pen" Garrett has the swagger of a boxer. Fast with a verbal jab, expert at talking an Ali-worthy streak of trash and prone to referring to himself in the third person, the fire-hot producer/songwriter (Beyoncé's "Diva," Fergie's "London Bridge," Usher's "Papers" and Mario's "Break Up") is planning to take some rare "me" time later this year to hunker down on his first solo album.
"Sean Garrett as an artist is what fans are missing," he said recently during a break from a workout at an Atlanta gym. "I'm making the kind of records Bell Biv Devoe and Bobby Brown made, songs you love and get excited hearing, with crazy beats and incredibly creative. I'm trying to be a little innovative and make songs girls will love. I'm pulling out all the stops."
Soon, he promised, he'll announce his new label deal, and by the end of December, he's penciled in six weeks or so of intense recording time — the first extended studio lockdown in his nearly decade-long career — to begin laying down the tracks for the yet-untitled album he hopes to have out next summer.
But, like any savvy boxer, Garrett knows when to pull punches and save some for the ring, so while he won't reveal too much about what guests he might have on the album, he did promise this: "I confirmed today that one of the biggest superstars in the world will be on it." Beyond that, he was not saying much.
Garrett released a Japan-only solo disc, Turbo 919, last year, but he said the upcoming album will be his true solo debut after more than half a decade of toiling behind the scenes for everyone from Ashley Tisdale and Amerie to the Pussycat Dolls, Jesse McCartney, Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown.
The first single from the album, the recently released Gucci Mane-featuring tune "Up in Your Heart," is a prime example of Garrett's skills: a hypnotic chorus over a sneakily insidious spare beat and a hook that instantly grabs your ears. "If people love [Mario's] 'Break Up,' they're gonna love my album," said the supremely confident hitmaker. "The biggest comparison I can make [as an artist] is to Kanye, because there's so much energy and so much to talk about, and I want to have so much fun on the record. People have tried to keep me in this songwriter/producer box, but I'm so much more of a bigger talent."
Working hard to make the album what he called "bulletproof," Garrett said despite his proven track record of hit writing, he feels like an underdog on his solo effort. That's why he's working extra hard to prove himself as he plans to continue his winning streak with a song on the upcoming Rihanna Rated R album, as well as tunes he's writing for Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, another single with Mario, "Stranded," and a new one from Jamie Foxx's upcoming album, "French Kiss."
"I have to take the same type of approach I take on the hit records I write: I can't rush it," he said. "I'm a f---ing superstar artist/writer/producer, and I will give my fans what they want and what they're asking me to give them: a phenomenal album. I'm the underdog, man, I can't go wrong. I got nothing to lose. Underdogs can't lose."
In the meantime, Garrett promised that he will also continue to be a presence on the radio and on the mixtape front, pointing to his current spot on the Gucci song "In My Business" alongside Drake.
BRITNEY Spears has hit back at critical media reports of her Circus tour, saying she came to Australia for her fans.
The pop star arrived in the country last week amid controversy over her lip-synching stage performance, and soon faced reports that disappointed fans walked out of her opening show in Perth.
Spears has been keeping a low profile since arriving in Melbourne earlier this week, but she responded to the criticism.
"I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show," Spears said in a statement.
"Some reporters have said they love it and some don't. I came to Australia for my fans!"
Spears is due to play the first of three sold-out shows in Melbourne on Wednesday night, and has been indulging in some retail therapy.
"Went shopping on Collins Street yesterday and got a lot of my Christmas presents. Melbourne is beautiful. Can't wait to see more. -Britney," she wrote on Twitter.
Aussie DJ Havana Brown, who is touring with Spears, said she is surprised by the savaging the pop princess has received here.
Brown said there was no negative reaction from fans and the media about lip-synching and lacklustre performances in Europe, where they toured before Australia.
"I think it's quite well known that she has lip-synched in the past. I don't think it's any surprise to anybody," Brown said.
"There was nothing like that in Europe. I think everyone knew what they were in for, and I think everyone should know here as well.
"I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about."
Brown was personally chosen by Spears' father and manager to open the Circus tour in Europe and Australia.
The Melbourne native gets the crowds warmed up for Spears each night and then sits back to enjoy the spectacle.
She said there was an "incredible response" at the first two shows in Perth, and she hoped Aussie fans would make up their own minds about the concert.
"It's sad. I want people to be positive about her - she's doing so well, and she's looking so good, and the show is amazing," she said.
"I want everyone to make their own opinion, rather than be persuaded by what's been in the media."
Pearl Jam kicked off their Australian tour with a slick performance in Perth which gave the crowd a taste of the band’s newest offerings whilst rocking out all the old favourites.
The week after Britney Spears started her Australian tour at the Burswood Dome with a concert big on lip synching and short on audience interaction, Eddie Vedder demonstrated just how a real, charismatic and talented musician conducts a gig.
Vedder, referring to the Spears controversy, jokingly told the 30,000 strong crowd at Member’s Equity Stadium last night that he would also be lip-synching – and according to the new rules being looked at where musicians would have to make audiences aware of any such illusions, he would do the right thing and confess this to the fans.
But rather than pretending to sing so that he could rock some dance moves and perform multiple costume changes, Vedder joked he’d be lip-synching so he could down some good wine and have a smoke.
It turned out the only time Vedder’s lips moved without producing the strong and sexy vocals that have helped make Pearl Jam one of the biggest bands in the world, was when he turned the microphone towards the crowd and let them take over the singing of the much-loved band’s old classics, like Daughter, Alive and Better Man.
Vedder, who spent Friday night hanging out at the Hyde Park Hotel, told the crowd that Perth’s local music scene was amazing, naming bands Cal Peck and The Trams and The **** ones to watch.
He said Western Australia was among the band’s favourite stops, with other band members tackling the waves at Scarborough Beach before the gig.
Introducing the latest hit, The Fixer, Vedder dedicated the tune to Luc Longley, who Vedder joined in 2003 to campaign to save Ningaloo Reef. Vedder, whose latest activism centres on the closure of Guantanamo Bay, congratulated Western Australia on making the right decision for the environment.
It was a night to remember, with the band playing an almost two-and-a-half hour set that impressed the long term fans who loved every minute of it.
Walking into the stadium was like going back in time, with bad 90's fashion everywhere. It was as though 1996 exploded inside, with ugg boots, double denim outfits, mullets and plenty more best left back in the decade where the band really went off coming out to play.
Supports Ben Harper and Liam Finn returned to the stage for fabulous performances alongside Vedder. Pearl Jam remain a class act, showing off new album Backspacer and the tunes that were some of the 90's biggest smash hits.
