Britney Spears

Circus[Deluxe Version]

I am not a willing Britney Spears junkie.What disturbs me most about the Britney Spears brand is not that it sells crotch shots and naked videos;not how easily it sells this sleazy sex ,but rather just how willingly I could go along with it.

It's like media crack.

But I am very afraid of something that wants me to not just have it,but,against my will,and at any cost.

Sure,laugh,call me a 50 year old dirty ol' man.That just makes my point.But everyone loves to buy into the Britney 'Circus'.Tv,rag sheets.Hell,if Ms.Spears didn't sell to almost everyone(admit it:you buy it),they wouldn't sell it.

That is why I became against all things Britney.Britney on the Tv-click-next channel.Britney at the check out counter-check out the price of finger nail clippers instead.

The only place I didn't have to worry about running into Britney Spears was-of all places-on the radio.The worst part of the Britney brand was the music.

Yes,you had to deal with all the Spears-a-likes:Janet Jackson,Danity Kane,Miley Cyrus and yes,even Madonna.

*

Maybe that explains why 'Circus' even with all of it's Britney Spears typical voice tweeks sounds less like Britney Spears than any of her other albums.It sounds just like everyone else trying to sound like her.

*

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,but flattering yourself is just another form of masturbation...oh yes...I forgot....we're talking about the B.S. brand:-(

*

Not that the cd doesn't have it's fair share of fun stuff(it is crack,after all).'All The Boys And All The Girls Are Begging To F.U.C.K. Me'{ie If U Seek Amy} is first and foremost the best hit..er.. song on the cd.

*

The Miley Cyrus sounding,'Mmm Papi' is almost as addictive..and if you take it as a Miley Cryus put down(I do)...just a little twisted.

*

'Photography' adds to the B.S. mystique(HEY!).

*

'Womanizer' is the first single.Oooh,that first hit...aaah,that's the stuff....

*

And so on and so forth....so...how do I rate this...

*

If you you go willingly: A

*

If you fight it:B-

If you're going to B.A.(Britney Anonymous): D+
