Round One: Your 'Circus' Reviews
Posted under Blog, Music on December 3, 2008
Thanks for all of your 'Circus' reviews! I'm gonna post reviews on three 'Circus' tracks each day... so here's the first set!
"Out From Under"
"A beautiful ballad from our girl. Britney should work on more ballads. Her voice is really breathtaking and light." -- Mark
"The vocals on 'Out from Under' sealed the deal for me... it was the first song on the album that really jumped out at me, Britney's voice is just so sweet yet so powerful. It really pulls you into just what Britney has been going through." -- Kelly
"I love Britney's ballads. Her voice sounds great. You can actually hear how honest and sincere she sounds when singing this." -- Auggie
"Blackout lacked a song like this... a break from all the fast, fun music... and chills you out.. great..." -- Ashley
"Having never heard the original, I am basing my opinion purely on Britney's voice and how she fits the song. This is another of my favorites- a perfect ballad. I would really love this to be the third single. Britney sings the words with real emotion and heart. This song really touches me and the words are really beautiful." -- Gemma
"Awesome ballad showcases more of her vocal capabilities with the higher pitches especially in the chorus. It's a break-up song filled with emotion and has great potential to be a single. Reminds me of "Shadow" and "Everytime". My favorite." -- Nina
"If U Seek Amy"
"I think this song is wayyyyy brilliant! If you listen carefully, the hidden letters are a witty way of saying your piece without getting censored! The song is very very catchy and is clearly a masterpiece of Max Martin." -- Cindy
"This song completely portrays where Britney's sound started, where it has been, and where it's going -- all in one! I knew it was going to be amazing for two reasons: Max Martin produced it, and of course, Britney's vocals are rockin'!" -- Elizabeth
"Dead cool song! the "Lalalalala" at the beginning sounds really bitchy and cool, you rock!" -- Barbara
"I love how she says 'All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy.' Naughty song, but I love that side of Britney..." -- Reid
"If U Seek Amy" is one of my favorites on the album. Its very catchy and I love the play on words during the chorus. That was brilliant! =)" -- shawtigotcurvs
"The beginning makes me think about little red riding hood, you know...an innocent, smart girl who's just looking for someone" -- Benjamin
"Shattered Glass"
"'Shattered Glass' has been 6 years in the making lol... Britney is speaking up and I could not be more proud to call myself a fan." -- Kelly Byrne
"''Shattered Glass' has such a great beat! I can't stop listening to it!" -- Emelie Björnefors
"I think the best song on the album is 'Shattered Glass' because it has that "Oops I did it again" feel and it reminds me of the old bubblegum Britney!" -- Sandra
"Britney's empowered attitude is definitely back on 'Shattered Glass'. The delivery is really powerful and anyone listening to this song knows that Britney's not a woman to be messed with! This song has a great pop sound and reminds me of 'Cinderella' on the Britney album." -- Hannah
"It's like 'Out From Under' but a dance, faster edition. It talks about how a relationship is broken and can't be fixed so don't bother trying to go back... Love it! Have to admit my world would be broken like shattered glass without Britney." - Reid Mangel
"One of my personal favorites begins with a bass pounding, sharp tonged Britney slaying a guy for cheating on her. Britney slows the beat down right before the chorus blares with a synth-hiphop beat that that will have your head instantly bopping. The beat is one of the most catchy that I have heard in a while and with Brits take on a broken relationship, there is no doubt that its over like Shatter Gla--ee-sss. -- Dennis DiVittorio
