All My Shadows

I loved Femme Fatale!! Sometimes I drive weeks at a time with just In the Zone, Blackout, Circus, and Femme Fatale on shuffle in my car.

Femme Fatale was like 95% club songs lol Britney said so herself. It was both praised and dismissed for being so dancey. But yeah, I do agree that the Dr. Luke/Max Martin/Danja/Bloodshy & Avant sound is her definitive sound.

I just need her to run far, far away from will.I.am. I think this will be her last album for a while, anyway, but I hope he's busy somewhere else when/if she does another one. I love Work B**ch, and I grew to like Scream & Shout (and Big Fat Bass from FF), but a whole album of his stuff? [Elizabeth Taylor]Nooooooooooo....[/Elizabeth] I do enjoy Now That I Found You, and I'm sure some of the others will grow on me. The cover IS gorgeous (though I like Femme Fatale's and Black Out's better), and the album title is cute, but I don't know if this is the right album for that title.

The covers for these singles are hideous.

Whenever I bother to tune in to this show, Kim, Tamwar, and Fatboy are three characters I stop and watch if they appear.

I'm actually enjoying all of this stuff much more than I've ever enjoyed any of the late 80s Marland stuff.

I'm listening to the previews on iTunes, and I love the music and like her voice, but the lyrics are just as lame as always.

Can I get a sworn statement from WeLoveSoapsTV and/or Roger Newcomb that the 70s scenes will not be deleted until I can watch every last one of them? I'm gonna have quite a bit free time up through the holidays, and there is NOTHING I like more during the autumn/early winter months than snuggling up with old school soaps.

I saw Heather Lindell (ex-Jan, DAYS) in a Tide commercial.

You mean you don't prefer the musical stylings of Thom Bierdz?

Such a thrill to see more from this era of ATWT! The DVDs didn't last, but I'm glad they realized the goldmine couldn't just sit collecting dust. Hopefully they unearth an early-mid 70s episode or two like they did with GL!

I still can't figure out what the Born This Way cover is supposed to mean.

No. If you think we love Britney for her singing, you have it wrong, wrong, wrong.

That seems to be the consensus from so many! But I love both the video and the song.

If it helps, I personally think seasons 3-5 are the absolute best and most definitive of the series. The first two seasons are good, but the characters are all junior high age for the most part. Once they hit high school age, the real drama begins.

I definitely agree that Britney's in a weird career spot right now. She has a pretty healthy career behind her, and she's still doing well, but it's clear that she isn't on the rise anymore. But, because she's already had such huge success, it's really not a horrible, embarrassing thing that she isn't topping the charts or outselling everyone. Let the Katy, Gaga, Riri, etc. stans fight it out over things like that. Britney's been there, done that, and at this point, if she can put out a song that gets me hype (and WB has grown on me IMMENSELY thanks to it being on heavy rotation during my workouts this week), then I'm proud of my Louisiana homegirl.

I'm digging it. No.

I didn't know Jean was leaving.

I came across this video on YT that compiles some of the character themes from the show. I needed to see this to be sure that I wasn't losing my mind when I realized certain pieces were used for certain characters. I'm pretty obsessed with the Kirby, Alexis, and La Mirage themes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHwJPhRJGP0 ETA: I just realized I posted about this very topic earlier in the thread and raved about the Alexis and La Mirage themes then! There's just something about that sweeping shot up Alexis's building with that music playing that just gets me hyped up.

Kirby's story is about her trying to cope with carrying Adam's baby after he raped her while unhappily married to Jeff, who can't make up his mind between Fallon and Kirby. Blake and Krystle remarry after reconciling following the revelation that they weren't legally married (Krystle was still married to Mark) and a strained relationship because of Blake's efforts to get custody of Danny from Steven.

I'm currently in S4, and I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying Kirby now. I really couldn't stand her in the third season, but she's gotten much more assertive in regards to both Jeff and Adam, and her plans for her child, and I'm loving this spacey bitch! My Adam love, on the other hand, is waning. He's so sad and depressing all the time now, and quite obsessive over Kirby. I like him best when he's bouncing between Alexis and Blake. Tracy Kendall, meanwhile...lol Peter de Vilbis is a waste of time and space. Helmut Berger is painful to watch as he struggles through the simplest lines, and Jeff getting butthurt over Fallon getting a new man is annoying. Meanwhile, Mark Jennings is still hanging around desperately searching for relevance. All of his love interests have moved on lol LexDex are clearly where it's at. Loving Dex's introduction so far and the back-and-forthing with him and Alexis.

I really like the song too lol
