Britney Spears' Gilded Cage Revealed Live

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 19, 2009 11:38 am
The success of latter-day Britney Spears, particularly when it comes to her live tours, truly baffles some people. She doesn't sing live and, in fact, barely puts any effort into her lip synching now. Her dancing is childishly basic. Her shows employ elaborate sets and a cabal of talented back-up dancers (and, in the case of this tour, circus...

Britney Spears' Wrong Kind Of Circus

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) December 9, 2008 12:53 pm
I actually used to admire the Britney machine. There was something downright awe-inspiring about the sheer audacity of everyone involved in the project. Long after the woman-child at the heart of it all had been exposed as simple, talentless and lacking even the most basic interest in her "art," her people forged on and continued to...

Britney Spears — Blackout

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) November 5, 2007 2:21 pm
The main reason it will be hard for most people to enjoy Britney's new album is because they know too much. Part of the reason folks love a band or an artist is due to the mystery behind the music. Who are these people? What do they do with their spare time? Do they have families? With Ms. Spears, the mystery has long been unveiled and it's not...

By Brian Wong (CHARTattack) December 13, 2005 2:24 pm
Afraid Britney wasn't going to sell any records this year? Fear not, Brit fans — little Sean Preston Federline won't starve while his mommy's on hiatus. That's because her holiday cash grab, this remix compilation disc, isn't too shabby. And since you've already heard most of the originals more than you need to anyway, these club-ready versions —...

Britney Spears — Greatest Hits: My Prerogative

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) November 9, 2004 2:50 pm
While Britney Spears' music just isn't the same without the accompanying videos (FYI: there's also a My Prerogative DVD available), this retrospective is interesting beyond it's photo-laden silver foil package. Following Brit's journey from hapless (but not entirely charmless) teen to singing robot is fascinating — her increasing tendency to work...
