Circus

Can't get it out of my head...

Circus (Britney Spears) / B001L29H4Q

While wishing no offense to Ms. Spears, when this song showed up on my Pandora radio and I was instantly hooked, I was shocked to see that it was a Britney Spears song. I remember listening to her *years* ago when I was a teenager, but I haven't heard any of her 'new' stuff in forever.

I simply cannot get this song out of my head. It has a great beat, and I really like the vocals - I don't know how much of it is natural talent and how much is post-production tweaking, but this just sounds a lot richer and fuller than the way I remember Britney Spears. The lyrics are light-hearted, but very fun, and I like the exhortation that everyone join the dance - this isn't just another 'look at me' solo songs.

Definitely check this song out - you might be surprised to learn that it stays in your head. Like all Amazon MP3 downloads, this MP3 is DRM-free and plays beautifully, without fuss on my MP3 player.

Brittney hits a home run

This is one of the best albums I have heard from her in a long time.

Best Britney Spears offering/spectacle to date!

Highlights how Britney sees her life in the public eye, comparing it to a circus with "All eyes on me, at the center of a ring just like a Circus", reflecting how her life has been portrayed and followed through tabloids and other media means, how it is all entertaining to all of those watching when she "puts on a show" but there's more to it lying behind. Personal favorite right here, it can easily be the best song Spears has come up with and put out there, the beats are so innovative, contagious and have this dark circus, mysterious sorta deal along with heavy strumming and pure pop elements to it that makes it spooky, it almost makes it R&B.

Great pop song!

This is a amazing song! The producers make a excellent combination of pop and little bit of electro. I'm not sure about the lyrics... so repetitive...

Circus Circus

Britney Spears' comeback song,"Circus",is a generic,somewhat guilty pleasure dance song. Spears is deciding to rehash her original hits,albeit with new lyrics and (somewhat) of a new sound. Spears has always been about dance music. So,not much has changed. "Circus" is all about being in the media spotlight, how the paparazzi are to blame for her problems-- instead of taking some responsibility. Publicity has been a blessing and a curse for Spears. It's given her tons of $$$,but at the same time it has literally driven her nuts. "Circus" is all about life being a spectacle. Maybe she should go on a loooong sabbatical, get her life back together, before making another album.
