Heard some of the songs on Youtube. The only one that I heard that I instantly liked was Circus. I'm glad it's the next single. Several of the songs sounded similar, and there's so much electronic stuff done to her voice and the music that it's hard to tell it's even her.

I like her older stuff. I think it's fine that she moved away from the real poppy stuff from her first album. But I think there was some really good stuff on her 2nd and 3rd ones. If she could find some way to mix it up and have a few old-er-school sounding songs (Toxic, even Stronger) and the newer sounds (Womanizer, Circus), I think it'd be a winner.

Who saw the docu-film that followed Britney's life for 60 days on MTV? It made me look at her in a whole different light, even if it was intentional. She's such a lonely and depressed person, and she tries really hard to be positive, but she obviously has her breaking points. I just wanted to hug after that special. She was very candid and honest, I must say.

It was really great seeing Britney laugh and smile and be quirky. I couldn't stop laughing at her cuteness: when she was shopping, "This is so Katie Holmes," "Why can't I be Sarah Jessica Parker for one day?" "I'm a laywer.....Hi, my name is Matilda." :lol::wub:

Seeing the paparazzi from her point of view was scary. I can't imagine doing that everytime I went out. That one paparazzi who was screaming was frightening.

I so agree with her choreographer that the fire in her eyes is back.

She looks fit, she looks hot, and her work ethic is back. I'm glad she's back with Larry Rudolph who seems to know how to manage Britney.

Her quote at the end was hilarious: "I'm go through life like a karate kid." She's cute and goofy. :lol:

its awful.

im not even famous and i cant take them just hanging out in L.A.

One time on the street, i drive fast and was going about 60. and all of the sudden like 4 cars come rushing up behind me and cut off other cars, go into oncoming traffic, chasing after some black car with some star in it.

and another time we were just walking down the street going from one bar to another and a few paps came running and pushed my female friend to the floor trying to get a picture of a star.

and leaving any club is a circus now.

At times, her Southern drawl comes through.

I guess it wasn't that much of an opinion-shaper for me, since I've always seen her as the strong, flawed, brave, insightful, goofball that she is.

I think what drew me most to her in this was because you can tell that through it all, she's growing. And she's right, she's just like any normal person deep at heart.

It's also kinda funny because as a fellow Louisianan, I can see the normalcy in her Southernness that so many find to be a sign of stupidity.

not a Britney fan but I saw it and loved it. Im glad that she was not looking crazy and I kind of felt bad for her. Im so glad and proud of her for cleaning her act and getting back on track. Her life the past 2-3 years has been an embarassing and cringeworthy trainwreck and Ive been disgusted with how the media has latched on to her

I'm not really sure that I agree that the fire is back in her eyes, at least from when she talked to the interviewer. It may be, but I don't think we saw it. Although I guess we didn't have these interviews when she was having all of these big problems to compare this to. But she seemed so blah and tired throughout the film. That obviously could've been attributed to that specific day of filming....long day, after dance practice, etc. But we didn't really see an upbeat side of her that that dancer seemed to like. I know the tone was supposed to be serious and realistic, but I wish that "fire" had come through more on the side we saw.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
