BLACKOUT IS AMAZING!

A+++

I love Britney and I Love Blackout!

All right Titney! I love to Blackout while on Titney! Whoo Hooo! Yeah! Titney’s album is going to hit # 1 on the charts and Titney is # 1 in my pants! Yeahh!!

Tåsk!

BRITNEY, BRITNEY ALWAYS IN MY HEART

Blackout is Britney’s best album. It’s really worth buying!

I got my copy yesterday!! love it!

are you kidding me? She is a no-talent cow (and no, being a horrible mother is not a talent).

Why would Rolling Stone give her the air time? Becuase they pander to teenagers who know nothing about music. I’m surethey’ll give this album 3 1/2 starts…safe rating like they always do. (don’t want to offend the machine, right).

I mean…come on! She doesn’t write her own music, play her own instruments, can’t dance anymore, and could hardly ever sing without either lots of production or lip synvhing her live performances.

Yeah…I’m sure this album is real good.

say what you want about britney but at the end, who cares what you think! the cd is AWESOME and personal life really shouldn’t matter. great great great album from start to finish.

Britney Spears can’t sing, can’t write, is a completely vacant, selfish, idiotic person, and if the world wasn’t completely topsy turvey, no-one would even want to hear her sing karaoke in the local bar. Watch these clowns give Britney a higher rating than Steve Earle’s brilliant “Washington Square Serenade.” Watch me cancel my subscription.

I Love Britney!!!!!!!!!!

I Love Britney!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, it’s amazing to see how many mindless, tastless, and moronic dumbasses still buy her music! She has proven what a talentless joke she is over the past couple of years. Can you say trailerpark trash? I could make a better album in one of those “sing-a-long” booths you find at amusement parks where they basically doctor your recording to make it sound professional. This is basically what you’re spending your money on you freakin’ idiots. For God’s sake grow up and get better some taste in music.

If your listening to Britney changes are you won’t want to see how she really makes her music. If you wish to,See Before the Music Dies. You’ll have a chance to see just how untalented she is and have a chance to see and listen to some real music.

Funny how these people still– NO MATTER WHAT– waste their time bashing Britney on every site that has a decent review of her CD. Get over it. You guys are in denial. If you hated her so much, you wouldn’t give her the time of day. But, you are here–aren’t you? Obviously, like everybody else, Blackout caused some interest in your mind.. or else you would have never read this review.

I actually love the songs. It’s a great POP album. If you want something else from Britney, you’re looking at the wrong artist.

go britney!!

say what you want about britney but at the end, who cares what you think! the cd is AWESOME and personal life really shouldn’t matter. great great great album from start to finish.

Yo jackass! Can you read? not one person on here has said britney’s personal life has anything to do with how bad the cd is. The music is bad because the music is bad. There are no other reasons.

As for the dude who asks why people are giving her the time of day and saying we must show some interest in her because we are here…well actually. I o to RS.com daily to get music news. This bullshit review (if you can call a video review that, good thing I’m not deaf) was all that I found.

Britney Spears is a shitty musician…you can never call her an artist. She’s always been shitty, always will be shitty, and that’s all there is to it.

that whole first paragraph is a,quote. I would never say such stupis shit.

Good review! I love Gimme More so I’m obviously buying it!

I don’t care about whatever, it’s a good record.

I cannot believe Rolling Stone…a magazine I thought was truly devoted to MUSIC, not the synthetic and purely manufactured noise that results from hours of sweat from truely good musicians for the sake of BRITNEY SPEARS! I would LOVE to see her write a song, sing live, and be a real musician, not a walking punchline. And you people buying this CD are just feeding into the fact that someone can make more money than teachers, doctors, social workers, etc. by doing nothing other than showing up to a record studio to have everyone do everything for her. You should all be pleased with yourselves for putting money in the pockets of her and her enablers. And for those of you who are just “about the music” and “well, it’s good so I’ll overlook what a slob and sorry human being she is” – you are EVERYTHING that is wrong with this country and celebrity culture. And furthermore, the only reason I took time out of my day to write on this waste of space is because apparently there is a lack of people with spines willing to call out Britney supporters. I pity you all, and Rolling Stone should be utterly embarassed for catering to such a talentless, overpaid, overpriviledged and excuse-ridden piece of trash.

britney spears is such a great artist! she can hit the notes mariah and whitney can only dream of! and she writes so well her name should be Roberta Dillian!!! I LOVE YOU BRIT 4LIFE IAHFJDSOHGf;f!!!!

I So Desegree “Kyle”
You have so right!

And Britney IS the best artist! She’s my idol, and personal life should not matter in this.
She is a great GREAT FANTSTIC person!
And I think, almost all of the bad things they write about her is UNTRUE! Im TOTALLY sure of that!
Love You Brit For Ever.

Great Job Britney !!

“Cold as fire.. hot as ice”? haha.. That really just says it all, doesn’t it? But.. hey, sugar is bad for you, too. But we consume more than we should. Britney is no different. Just remember what too much sugar can do to you.

If we were to judge every artist based on their life and personal issues, then most of the artists today wouldn’t have fans.

I once asked a co-worker what he thought about Coldplay. He said he didn’t like them because of Chris Martin’s political beliefs. I’m sorry but that is a lame excuse.

My point is that Britney is a music artist, and thats what she does. Make your opinion based on the music not her life.

I can’t believe I’m writting this, but it’s actually good.
Some dumbass said in one of these comments that teens “know nothing about music” and that her album sucks. Well, I think that teens know about all kinds of music and are open minded enough to like new beats unlike the stuck up baby boomer that wrote this other review. Shut the fuck up baby boomers. This album is actually good.

I truly agree with Rob.

But Anyhow– Onto other matters..

Rolling Stone IS truly devoted to music. What some of you seem to forget is that there is more than ONE type of genre.

There is more than ONE type of artist. Not everyone can sing like Mariah. Not everyone can write amazing songs. But, it doesn’t dismiss the fact that she sings.

Her music might not fit your taste in music, but guess what? There are millions of others who disagree.

You telling us we have bad taste in music is just like the rich telling the poor that they don’t know how to live well.

What makes your taste in music so much better? This is a POP artist singing POP MUSIC for crying out loud.

What did you expect? Did you want her to redefine Country, Hip-Hop, and Alternative as well?

Exactly.

We listen to pop music because we decide to. End of story.

britney é a melhor

this is what generation Y has resorted to? what sad brainwashed sheep.

CONGRATULATIONS ROLLING STONE. After years of being a legendary magazine you have successfully found your target market of 15 to 18 year old girls. This is why I have never regretted canceling my subscription. Let me guess this good review is going to coincide with yet another BS appearance on the magazine. Man, remember when music used to matter?

THANK YOU KYLE! Finally someone else gets it! Britney may not be Bob Dylan but it’s her whole package. And she doesn’t have a manager anymore so she is really responsible with the decision making. Her new songs maybe short term enjoyable but the hell they are really good! People hate Britney because they think she’s a manafactured media machine but does that have anything to do with enjoying the music? If people keep letting external factors get in between enjoying music they probably don’t know how to enjoy music. Who the hell is anyone to be the spokesperson and regulator for music?

She’s no Aguilera!

She’s no Aguilera!

Lila throw stones at Britney then I hope you can take a look at your album collection and ask yourself were they all sober and the best parents? If they were then most likely your album collection sucks. Don’t throw stones at Britney while excusing people like Ozzy, Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain just cause you like their music more.

I just bought the album…LOVE it! Especially, Break the Ice, Radar and Ooh ooh baby! The only song I really don’t like is Why should I be sad. Hope it sells well, then maybe ppl will focus on her music not her personal life

don’t judge until you listen to it, i know her personal life isn’t all there, but her music is what can i say amazing…. it makes you dance, and thats what she wants i’m guessing… yes she isn’t the best singer by any means but her music does wanna make you get up and move, isn’t that what music is for….. thanks rolling stone for reviewing the music not britney!

BRITNEY SPEARS IS NOT A FUCKING ARTIST!!!

look up the definition of art and tell me she fits it. She is a musician…stop giving her more credit than she deserves.

And no, I’m not a baby boomer dumbass…way to make a blanket assumption and make yourself look like a moron.

don’t judge until you listen to it, i know her personal life isn’t all there, but her music is what can i say amazing…. it makes you dance, and thats what she wants i’m guessing… yes she isn’t the best singer by any means but her music does wanna make you get up and move, isn’t that what music is for….. thanks rolling stone for reviewing the music not britney!

she’s lowered herself even more to sell her crappy prefabricated music. to the benefit of her record label.

This album has the same rating as the excellent Robert Plant/Alison Krauss album and a 1/2 star more than the latest Neil Young album? Hey Britney fans, you want to know why people are wasting their time bashing this review? That is why.

Listening to “Gimmie More” literally makes me ill. I have a hard time listening to that song longer than 5 seconds.

The two things that Britney is allegedly talented at singing and dancing she is horrible at. There might be some good pop songs on “Blackout”. They just need to be done by someone with talent. Don’t believe me? Compare Britney’s “…Baby, One More Time” with Fountains Of Wayne’s cover. FOW owns that song in the first 5 seconds.

Rolling Stone why are you overpraising the over-hyped albums: Bruce Springsteen “Magic”, Radiohead “In Rainbows”, and this BS album? If you want music fans to take your music recommendations and critisms seriously, then have people review the album instead of the hype or lack of hype surrounding the artist and album release.

Honestly you can’t compare apples to oranges, so the fucking 60 year olds who think Britney is like Allison Krauss, need to stop comparing she is a POP Artist, and Ms. Krauss is god knows what but all I can say is if u listen to Allison Krauss do u think anybody is ever gonna think u like B or have even heard Gimme More or even Baby One More Time for that matter, so why do u waste your time and come on here acting all “dissapointed” and act like you’ve been a fan for a million years when all you want to do is cut her down the second u hear Britney because of the LIES that are said about her, so back the FUCK off and go fuckin fucka piano. When you review a pop album u gotta remember its a POP album, pop music is not fucking classical country or Celine shit so get it through your fuckin heads thanks bitches

Paris Hilton!

Best CD I’ve heard ALL year!It’s great to hear a fun album among all the emo/indie crap like The White Stripes.

BRITNEY IS GOD

BRITNEY IS GOD!

Just bought it at Target & I already love it.Absolutely flawless pop music.If you don’t like it EAT IT,FVCK IT,SNORT IT!

OK.I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong,my niece was playing Blackout & I have to admit it’s really good!

Rolling Stone is dead… Long live MOJO!

I think she could drum as good as old space case Meg!I’ll have my people call her people & hopefully get back on the road!

Paris Hilton | 10/30/2007, 5:22 pm EST

I may hate you more than the real Paris Hilton…you are obviously some dumb 12-16 year old teenage girl struggling to find an identity you you mistakenly grab onto the worst possible choice. Hopefully in twnety years (hopefully sooner) you’ll look back on your self now and slap yourself silly.

And before you start acting all “this old fuck doesn’t know me…he doesn’t get it”…I’m still in college bitch. I’m a part of your generation…only the educated part.

Brats like you are what are wrong with this country. You obviously know nothing about music and just take what the corporate machine (MTV/ Rolling Stone in your case) tells you is “popular” and “good”.

And to the moron who called the white stripes emo… Fuck you, you are making it blatently obvious you have no clue what you’re talking about.

Damn, if this is what mass culture holds for us in the future…symbolized by these two morons…we may all be fucked. I wouldn’t trust this Paris Hilton with my hamburger…let alone the country.

god help us all.

i hate how rolling stone says things like:

britney spears: the rolling stone interview

how cocky are they that they think people are wiating in wings for THEIR opinion.

And what’s this I hear about Rolling Stone planning a social networking site? Music not enough anymore? you guys are worse than mtv…and that’s saying a lot

You guys are spreading yourself too thin…the quality of your publication has declined an unbelievable amount.

WHATEVER HATERS!! I love this CD! Glad there are others that like it too!

“Listen to her music before you judge…” that the funniest shit I’ve heard all week. That pop crap of an album isn’t her music – it’s a bunch of other people writing, playing, and overdubbing her mickey mouse voice. It’s just like all of her other overproduced albums. I hate to break it to you idiots but she CAN’T SING! When is the last time you heard her actually sing into a microphone and not lyp-sync? Next thing you’ll see is a Britany body double performing in front of you morons because has no talent – and you wouldn’t even know the difference! Did you see her at the MTV awards? I’m sure you’ll have an excuse to why she can’t dance anymore not to mention her lip syncing abilities is very rusty to say the least. Shit, even Milly Vanilly lyp synced better! She’s not an artist, she’s not a musician, and she’s not even a vocalist. She is simply a by-product of the pop music industry who created her to sell records to morons like you because they know you will buy their crap.

What a great person and role model! She’s a non-driving, drug addicted, panty-less, crazy, single mom who is so self-centered and craves attention so much that she can’t even take care of her own kids. Britany fans are the same type of people who think animated movies are LIKE FOR REAL! What a joke!

There weren’t any other more worthy CD’s out there to review? Really?…Britney deserved to be reviewed more than “I’m Not There” w/29 classic Dylan tracks interpreted by various ARTISTS…Really?

Hey! If you have an opinion and you want to express it, Great! Then don’t use someone else’s handle to express it. I don’t have a neice. So, the only way I would listen to “Blackout” is to be tied up in a chair at Camp X-Ray, with the CD on repeat, losing my will to live.

I have heard Britney’s “Baby One More Time” and a handful of other songs by her more times than I would ever want to in my life. I heard. I cringe. I will criticize about what a talentless singer she is.

Paris Hilton, do yourself a favor and check out Alison Krauss before you diss her. You will actually discover real music. Like the Britney fans are saying, “Listen to the music, before you criticize it.”

Lastly, I like pop music. What I don’t like is the over produced, pro-tool aided songs done by people who are models than actual singers. Give me songs that is performed with real heart and soul. Make me feel and dance to the music. Instead of releasing something that is completely soulless and bereft of any artistic aspirations.

Britney is an artist! Her album is fucking HOT AS HELL! I never skipped a song!That’s how good it is! That’s a first for me! I’m going to get 2 more copies! A+++

WTF? This is Britney? It’s soooo GOOD! OMG! When did she become this great? THE ALBUM IS OF THE CHAIN! OMG! It’s SO Good. I’m listening to Get Naked (I Got A Plan)!

GET IT GURL! This album is a Shake Ya Ass album! Love every Song!

Love it!

What garbage-shame on you RS for buying in to this crap.

Britney is what separates “today’s” teeny boppers from the adults. When I was a kid, I was brought up on The Beatles and The Stones. What a nightmare before Christmas.

R.I.P. Rolling Stone
.. what else can I say. I’ve never been so disappointed with the magazine as I am right now. Buying into the hype, and the melodrama that is Britney Spears. You aren’t even reviewing the music anymore. You’re writing what her fans want to hear so that you can sell more copies of your “Music Magazine”. What a shame. When did honesty go out the window for money? This album is terrible. I listened to it twice to see what you guys were talking about. I can’t find it. This isn’t even music.

I haven’t bought the album yet, but with all the buzz, it is on my top priority of to do things list today. I love Britney.. She’s always been hot, sexy and just being Britney. When did we all qulaify as judges? Well enough said, I’m out to get her album rign now!

that your magazine has lost all sensabilities.

the morons who like this shit fail to see britney spears didn’t actually DO the work making this album. They for whatever reason don’t grasp the way major labels work today…

They hired some good producers to over dub her voice thousands of times…to the point it is not even her voic anymore. sure it sounds like her….but that’s the great thing about computers.

She can’t sing, dance (anymore), write songs, produce her own music, play an instrument, or even look hot anymore. The only reason she still is making albums is because enough people will buy WHATEVER is shoved down their throats by the corporate machine.

How do you justify this? Is selling magazine’s THAT important to you? That you’re wllling to promote crap? I guess I have to face the music that Rolling Stone is no longer what it once was…it IS the corporate machine now.

R.I.P. Rolling Stone…have fun entertaining teenagers. I’m out.

I think RS has really fallen, and this is but one glaring example. RS wants to have it both ways-wrestle w/social issues, cover political causes and participants, but still pander and be this gossip rag; not separated itself from the “Entertainment tonight”, snarky, celebrity of the day-obsessed BS that is force-fed to us in the media these days. RS used to be a counter-view and people like Hunter Thompson, Lester Bangs, Greil Marcus, and other individuals that graced this mag. would be embarrassed and disgusted. RS is tarnishing whatever legacy it’s had.

It’s kinda really funny, that people could say so much bull about britney. No matter what anyone says, she is an ARTIST she is A musician, she is in fact a song-writer. I know music, I freaking go to school for it. This album has so much harmony, perfect triads. She is growing as an artist and she did a damn good job at it! So people that don’t think her music is good, it’s just because you basically just care about what you read, and not about what um good music sounds like. It’s Pop, learn to love it.

If people like it, they like it. Just because you don’t like Britney Spears, doesn’t mean that it is not music. Leave her fans alone, you like bob dylan and the beatles, then that is what you like, if you think it is better, then that is what it is. Britney fans know that her music is not on the same level or taste as most readers of rolling stone would like. get over it, people like different things, leave each other alone.

You think Britney wrote that music?
She wouldn’t know a triad if it bit her in the ass…

I don’t have to learn to love anything. The fact that RS admits that her sound is plastic and still gives it 4 and a half stars really speaks volumes of the state we’re in.

I don’t have to learn to love anything. The fact that RS admits that her sound is plastic and still gives it 3 and a half stars really speaks volumes of the state we’re in.

“Blackout” is a fitting name for the CD. But a better name for it is “Energy-Deficient Waste of Money”.

just listened to it (even tho pop is not what i usually listen) and i have to admit,i find the album rather good.
and bout that overdubbing thing…if you dont know what your talkin bout,nail tha trap!….
1000x overdubbed? it wil Fukup the voice en wil never sound close like her voice anymore.

Ne-Wayz love the different styles on the album.
Got to give it up to avant who produced it..nice work….

Kadeem you go to school for music but yet you call Brit a musician? Real good school you go to. The album might in fact have perfect harmonies and triads but she didn’t have a damn thing to do with it – it’s all manufactured! I’m all for individual taste and respecting what other people like to listen to but referring to her as a musician and an artist is what drives me mad. Pop music will always have it’s place and will always be “assisted music” but I personally don’t like her albums because it’s NOT HER MUSIC! She might contribute 10% to the creativity of that album. There so many more talented real musicians out there that should get a lot more credit than this loser. A lot people rank on her because she is a phony who simply doesn’t deserve the credit that she gets.

I really don’t mind that some people like this album…that is what prefabricated, survey group pop music is supposed to do. What enrages me are the morons who place her in the same sentence as bob dylan and the beatles. Fuck you, dude.

As for xan-der (nice name douche, sounds like something form a teenagers romance novel, although considering you like this album that is not surprising). You called the producer avant (I’m assuming you are refeerrring to the avant garde).

Do you know what avant garde is? From your statement you can’t. Avant garde is a genre in art with the aim of SHOCKING the people who experience it (i.e. shocking the genral public). The Velvet
Underground is avant garde…nothing britney spears has even done is even close. As a matter of fact, her music (including the production here because it is, after all, a britney spears album and therefore not meant to shock somebody), but her music is as far from avant garde as a musician (becuase she is not an artist)can get.

All you MTV watchers and pop listeners…If you truely want pop music, try listemning to the flaming lips or the unicorns or anything with some originality and intelligence and creativity. I mean come on! the Beatles were a pop band…

for those of you who complain about us complaing about britney spears:

the reason she is so disliked is because she is symbolic of everything that is wrong with our society/ music industry.

For some reason, people are obsessed with no-talent celebrities and if she wasn’t in the news Rolling Stone would never have given this album SO much press (the music just doesn’t hold up).

More importantly, the fact that she is so famous while real artists are starving/ struggling to pay the rent proves how far our society has its collective head up its ass. It speaks volumes for our obsession with medicrity…just look at the world around you!!

We surround ourselves with fake things; in the future historians will look back at us and state that. The suburbas are the worst built envirinment in the history of the world (it’s going to be really funny in twenty years when people are pissed because they will realize their expensive houses were only built to last 20 years!!! just like this crap is only built to last three weeks…maybe.

If it doesn’t stand the test of time…whether physically or artistically, it is just crap. And it doesn’t deserve the time of day.

We need to stop accepting mediocrity!!! No more crappy premanufacured music and no more crappy alienation inducing, cheapest materials possible, picked my house out of a catalouge houses!!! Boycott medicrity! It is the only way to change things for the better.

You know what i hate brit but jugding her personal life this album is doon good

wow! people…. if you don’t like an artist that’s fine. Everyone likes different music, different food, different styles etc. So people are saying Brittany is a cow and such, have you ever met her? Remember people, the way the media reports about stars is not fact. Most of it is fiction (some and only ’some’ may be true) I for one am glad I am not famous… I would hate for people to pick me a part because I was too fat or small, to outgoing or nerdy, etc. So just because someone buys and album, magazine etc because it’s their taste does not mean that they are a dumbass or moron, it just means that, that’s what they like. You don’t have to like it, but then again who asked you!

For all Britney haters…….YA are gonna be suprised how big star she is gonna become in a next 6 mounts with her new album. I was suprised at how good it is…..it can compete with Justin last year album hell its even better then his. And yes I do agree she is complete mess in her personal life.
P.S >if you only knew

my girl loves these tracks.
i love my girl.
i love these tracks.
my girl loves me.

isn’t the issue more what we think about the music, than what the shape or direction of the artists/singers/etc. life?
Brit may have played a minor role in these or not, but there are a ton of worse tracks around and these are good for movin yo butt.
