Digital Spy reviews TSC

From Digital Spy

When Britney released '...Baby One More Time' at the tail-end of the last century, few would have predicted that she'd still be around today. Sure, it quickly became obvious that the track - reportedly rejected by TLC - was one of the great pop singles, but the history books are littered with the remains of stars that instantly light up the charts only to burn up just as fast. Despite some filler-heavy albums, Britney has always been something else, and this compilation perfectly captures the career of one of the best singles artists of the last ten years.

Where her 2004 Best Of, My Prerogative, was let down by some needless inclusions, unsatisfying sequencing and under-written new material, the 18-track Singles Collection is as lean as the star herself after a couple of months on the road. Better still, it features the best singles from the Blackout and Circus albums, which salvaged Britney's career as a pop artist in the face of a personal breakdown. The only possible quibble is having newbie '3' tacked on the start rather than the end - ruining the otherwise chronological tracklisting - but in the grand scheme of things that matters not-a-jot.

Running from '...Baby One More Time' to 'Radar', you get a single-disc timeline that shows a progression in style and substance from school uniform-wearing pop ingénue to sultry motorik saucepot. There's an argument that the 65-minute run-time should have been extended to include a few more songs, but in the main it's the slowies that have been dropped, and that's no bad thing. Of course, there's little you can say about the songs themselves that hasn't already been said. Hits like 'Toxic' and 'Oops!... I Did It Again' proved their cultural cachet by featuring in Doctor Who and John & Edward's most magical moment respectively. Even the oft-forgotten 'Stronger' boasts two stone-cold classic pop moments: the lyrical inversion of her debut hit ("My loneliness ain't killing me no more") and that sound drop-out at two-and-a-half minutes that teases before the chorus slams back in.

Britney's voice has long been a source of contention, but while the debate about the value of a lip-synced live concert continues to rage, this compilation underlines her worth as a distinctive pop singer, at least on record. She certainly doesn't have the pipes of contemporaries Christina or Shakira, let alone the likes of Mariah or Whitney, but as last year's X Factor finalists showed, it's not as easy as it looks to make these songs sound as good as they do here.

And there's nothing that sounds out of place. The thematic muddle of wedging a coming-of-age ballad ('I'm Not A Girl...') between two slabs of sexed-up hip-pop ('Slave 4 U', 'Boys') looks dodgy on paper, but sounds perfect in the listening. Best of all is the double-header of 'Everytime' and 'Gimme More', where you get Brit's best ballad jammed up against a throbbing robopop thriller that's rightfully survived her infamous VMAs performance. The only arguable weak link is the Madonna-featuring 'Me Against The Music', but in this context what once looked like a respectful passing of the baton now seems like an unconditional surrender of pop Queendom to its rightful heir.

Britney 'never' returning to Oz?

Britney has allegedly told a source she can't wait to leave Australia.

The singer has faced unprecedented attacks and snipes from the hostile media, for which she wasn't prepared. Singer Michael Buble has defended the superstar, saying:

'You’d think she killed someone. As an artist, and a human being, some of what has been written about her is so nasty. OK, she lip-syncs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that'.

The Curcus tour is the first time Britney has performed Down Under, and according to rumours, it will be her last - it is claimed she has said she is 'never coming back'.

Britney's "3" is currently sitting just outside the top-5 in the midweeks of the UK Official Top 40 Chart. It is sitting (coincidently) at #3 on the UK iTunes store and has been for some time so it may be higher when the chart is released on Sunday.

The track is also expected to reach pole position on the Digital Songs countdown and debut at number 49 on the Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which is based on airplay audience on all radio formats.

M.Martin/Shellback/T.Amber

1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
Countin'
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?

Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?

Are - you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing (yeah)
Are - you in
I am countin'!

1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
Countin'

Three is a charm
Two is not the same
I don't see the harm
So are you game?

Lets' make a team
Make 'em say my name
Lovin' the extreme
Now are you game?

Are - you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing
Are - you in
I am countin'!

1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***

What we do is innocent
Just for fun and nothin' meant
If you don't like the company
Let's just do it you and me
You and me...
Or three....
Or four....
- On the floor!

Spears raps up US Circus tour

From Digital Spy

Britney Spears ended the US leg of her 'Circus' tour with a performance in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The 'Toxic' singer announced in June that she was to add 20 more dates to the North American portion of the jaunt.

She performed a 90-minute show at Mandalay Bay, which was attended by Barry Manilow and Lance Bass, People reports.

The former 'N Sync member was given a lap dance by Spears during her rendition of 'Breathe On Me', while he sang along with her during the routine.

The popstar was spotted shopping in the area before the gig at Mirage's Sugar Factory with boyfriend Jason Trawick and her two sons, Sean Preston, 3, and 2-year-old Jayden James.

"She spent about $3,000 (£1,880) and walked out of the store with ten bags," a source said. "She got a bunch of candy and shirts for her kids and got a bunch of the couture lollipops to give to her backup dancers."

Spears recently confirmed that she will play several shows in Australia in November.

The Circus Tour...in 3D!

Remember that mysterious poem with all the 3s?

"Ode To B Fans

Y'all keep shouting, "Gimme, gimme, gimme more,"
But little do ya know, some surprises are in store.
No matter how many gallons of Celebrity Juice you drink,
There's more around the corner, so much more than you think.
So please quit breathing heavy, I hate to hear you sigh,
I know I drive you crazy... oops! I did it again, didn't I?
As much as I lov3 contests, that isn't what this is about,
I'll tell you soon enough, 'cause I hate seeing B fans pout.
Now listen very closely, turn your radar up on high,
It's something fr3sh and new, ok? I'd never tell a lie.
So sit back and relax, be patient one more tim3,
The answer can be found within this little rhyme.

It appears Britney will be filming her Circus tour performance in Vegas... in 3D!

From Perez Hilton:

"Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Britney Spears will be doing something quite special at her upcoming Las Vegas concerts on September 26th and 27th at Mandalay Bay.

No, she won't be singing live the whole show. BUT, she will be filming those performances and insiders tell us that the shoot will most likely be in 3-D.

How very Miley Cyrus of her!

Details on the release - whether it will be in theaters or some other option - are still being worked out."

Buzz on a new song

From the Australian GimmeBritney Forums:

I'm not gonna post this one to the main site, as I don't have enough sources to confirm this... but here goes a little tidbit for gimmeBRITNEY readers.

We're hearing that there is some sort of unveiling of the new Britney single this weekend in America. We're not sure whether this is a performance at the VMA's or what - but all the information we're getting through now is looking EXACTLY like when Womanizer was delayed... this time it's in reverse.

It looks as though a radio date was set as far back as possible to give time for something to not work out as planned. This information leads us to believe that on Monday evening in Australia, radio will be sent a brand new single from Britney - the lead track from The Singles Collection. That would make it a Sunday night in America... and what's on Sunday in America??

There is still no change to "official" radio listing of September 21 from Sony. As I mentioned earlier, this is not concrete - we're hearing these little whispers again from multiple sources. We just can't get any clarification on them.

Story developing...
