Britney’s old vs. new choreography: fair comparison or leave Britney alone?

Britney’s old vs. new choreography: fair comparison or leave Britney alone?

So Britney Spears is attempting yet another comeback, and while her music is (arguably) just as good (she’s certainly churning out the hits again, as she did in 2009) her stage presence just isn’t what it once was. Kaiser and I were e-mailing about this, and she said it’s kind of mean to point out how much Britney has changed, since she’s heavily medicated this time around. I think it’s to be expected and is fair, especially since Britney is putting on nationally televised concerts and is embarking on another tour. She’s just not bringing it like she used to, and if Madonna can put on a big tour and work it at over 50, Britney can bring a little more enthusiasm to her shows at under-30.



PopDust put together the above video of Britney performing in the past vs. now. As Popeater points out, it’s not like Britney is as bad as she was at the 2007 VMAs, but the difference is very noticeable. She’s always lipsynched, but she used to put on a better show and she used to really dance. It just makes you question whether this latest tour is her idea, or whether she’s being pushed to perform, yet again, by a large team of people who rely on her to bring in the money. I think the answer is clear.

Making her much-awaited return to the stage, Britney Spears offered up a comeback performance in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday night (March 25).

Britney Spears Doesn't Have a Cell Phone

Britney Spears Doesn't Have a Cell Phone

 

 

Britney Spears doesn't own a cell phone these days, but she does have over 50 purses and 50 jackets in her closet.

Spears revealed these and other interesting tidbits to Us Weekly for their regular "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" feature, also admitting a preference for orange sherbet ice cream and Adele's new album.

Britney Spears is something of an enigma these days, despite her reemergence into the public eye. She hasn't given an in-depth live interview in years, and tends to avoid discussing herself and her private life. Still, Britney didn't mind dishing on beau Jason Trawick (she made the first move) and the loves of her life—her sons Sean, 5, and Jayden, 4.

Among the new material are songs such as "Selfish," "Up n Down," "Don't Keep Me Waiting" and "He About To Loose Me".

Talking about her much-awaited release, Spears recently told Rolling Stone, “I wanted to make a fresh-sounding album for the clubs or something that you play in your car when you’re going out at night that gets you excited."

She added, “I also wanted to experiment with all the different types of music I love, which is why you hear a mixture of pop, hip-hop and dance throughout the album. I also really wanted to play with my voice and change up my sound here and there which was really fun."

Britney Spears Talks Femme Fatale, Kids, Music, Life With Rolling Stone

Britney Spears Talks Femme Fatale, Kids, Music, Life With Rolling Stone

"Hold It Against Me" is a #1 hit. "Till the World Ends" is not far behind. Two additional tracks, "I Wanna Go" and "Inside Out", leaked just last week.

Both have drawn waves. The pop princess is back, baby.

Britney Spears opens up to Rolling Stone in a fun new Q&A session. She talks a lot about her new album, Femme Fatale, as well as her home life.

Some excerpts from her interview below ...

On the kids' take on FF: "They definitely dance to it but they are still confused .... It’s like, 'who is this Britney Spears singer in contrast to mommy?'"



On her involvement in the process: "I have always been heavily involved in every album I have ever made. I'm very stubborn when it comes to recording and will only record songs I love, which is why it takes me a long time to make an album."

"I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it's a good process because I love all my music. I know there are a lot of artists that hate songs they recorded."

On the sound of Femme Fatale: "I wanted to make a fresh-sounding album for the clubs or something that you play in your car when you're going out at night that gets you excited but I wanted it to sound different from everything else out right now."


"I also wanted to experiment with all the different types of music I love which is why you hear a mixture of pop, hip-hop and dance throughout."

On what she listens to at home: "I love the Peas but I also love Deadmau5. I guess I’m all over the place. Lately I have been listening to Robyn and Adele non-stop but I also love to find new artists that very few people know about."

On working with will.i.am: "The Peas make incredibly catchy, fun pop/dance records and I LOVE will.i.am's style. I have always wanted to do a song with him and would love to work with him more in the future. He is so interesting."

On working with Dr. Luke: "We have known each other for a long time. Most people don't know this but we worked together when I was recording Blackout. He was incredible back then and he has only gotten better over the years."

Here's Britney's latest efforts from the new record ...

 If it weren't for superstardom, Britney Spears' life might have turned much differently. In a new email interview with Out magazine, she explains that when she was younger, she saw less dancing in her future and more paperwork.

"I was in seventh grade and it was career day and I remember thinking that I wanted to be an entertainment lawyer," she wrote. "I always knew I would be in this business somehow. I think this path worked out way better."

Brit opens up about a wide range of other topics in the interview, including her opinions of Lady Gaga ("Unique"), Christina Aguilera ("Truly talented"), and the worst advice she ever heard from a record executive: "Someone once told me that the '…Baby One More Time' video should be me as a superhero fighting a giant robot monster."

And for those curious, Britney even reveals the best mom advice ever.

"My mom said when you have a bad day, eat ice cream. That’s the best advice."

Britney Spears Hates Her Appearance

Britney Spears Hates Her Appearance

Celebrity Beauty – According to Britain’s Look magazine, Britney Spears – the Toxic singer – admits she doesn’t like the way she looks. Spears admits her perfectionist nature means she’s rarely satisfied with what she sees in the mirror.

“I’m such a perfectionist, which means I’m never satisfied, I always strive for things to be better. I think you can be happy with the person on the inside but on the outside you’re always striving for more. But that’s how you end up driving yourself crazy.” the singer said.

Britney Spears says she can’t understand why she’s considered a sex symbol.

“I don’t see myself like that at all, I don’t know why. To me, someone who is sexy is someone with confidence, who carries themselves properly and is comfortable in their own skin. It’s very flattering but at the same time I think it’s sexier when you don’t try and you’re just yourself. We all like to feel sexy.” she said.

It's been more than a year since Britney Spears has released a video, but never fear Brit fans, her vid for "Hold It Against Me" is finally here.

In a dazzling mix of dancing and surrealism, Britney Spears dances, kicks and punches her way through a video that gets very weird without crossing into Gaga territory. Fans are in for a surprise around the 2:40 mark in the video when it switches from a traditional style video to an awesome display of Britney's stranger side.



As the music glitches and pulses, Britney Spears flashes a digitally altered smile before spraying the room with paint from her fingers and then literally getting into a fight with herself that looks like it was lifted straight out of a videogame.

Britney Spears Music Video: Dancing Double Alert!

Britney Spears Music Video: 

Dancing Double Alert!

Britney Spears' forthcoming video for "Hold It Against Me" is being heralded as genius by its choreographer. That may be true ... she's just not in all of it.

According to TMZ, citing a source close to the production, the singer couldn't nail the routines, so a dance double stepped in to do the difficult legwork.

Jonas Akerlund, the director, was upset that Britney Spears hadn't practiced enough so he asked her dance-double - Allison Kyler - to fill in. Things got heated.

Britney Spears supposedly left the "Hold It Against Me" set crying as a result.

Naturally, Britney's camp flatly denies this story. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

A rep for Britney Spears says "The accusations could not be further from the truth. Britney worked extremely hard and rehearsed for six weeks prior to shooting."

The rep adds that Britney and Jonas got along great, and that "fans will immediately see how inaccurate these claims are once they see the video."


Akerlund himself says "[Britney Spears] been great throughout the entire process. At the end of the shoot I got the warmest hug I ever got from an artist."

"I've been around long enough to know when an artist gives their all, and it doesn't get better than this. This video is f**king awsome. It's all Britney Spears."

Well, there are your two polar opposite accounts. Which do you believe?

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears will releases a new album Tuesday, March 15.

This morning, as promised, she revealed its title and cover ...

"I've poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years. I put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!" the star Tweeted.

"Sexy and Strong. Dangerous yet mysterious. Cool yet confident!"

"FEMME FATALE' ... March ...."

In the accompanying cover shot, also Tweeted by Britney Spears herself, she wears little makeup and with her hair mussed, looking seductively at the camera.


Appropriate for an album being billed as one of her harder, edgier, grimier efforts. Its first single, "Hold It Against Me," certainly lives up to those descriptions.

The term Femme Fatale refers, at least in our interpretation, to a mysterious woman whose seductive powers over men often lead to dangerous situations.

Also appropriate for the incomparable Britney Spears, right?

While there's already controversy about her new music video and whether she uses a dancing/stunt double, so far the singer is letting criticism roll off her.

What controversy? A Femme Fatale thrives on such things.
