Circus by Britney Spears (CD, Dec-2008, Jive Records USA)

The cd is not what you want. Its not good and Britney is just trying to get more money to pay all her doctors since she is going crazy. If you like Britney then you will like it but not worth the money. Try downlading it for free or something.

I know what you're thinking because I had similar thoughts. The press has dragged Britney around for the last number of years and it seems like every move she ever made is reported. It honestly got the point where I literally got sick of hearing about her. The one thing I'm not sick of is her music. Britney's team knows how to deliver good music. Blackout (cd from last year) was such an all around amazing cd. Will Circus be half as good as Blackout? I think that's a question in the back of a lot of people's minds. I honestly must say that the cd is just as amazing as Blackout. I only have two small problems with the cd. Let me break down the songs and give you ratings for each song.

1. Womanizer--I have to admit I thought it was a rather ehish song the first time I heard it. It took a few listens for me to really grow to enjoy it. 4 stars out of 5

2. Circus--This song is so catchy. I immediately liked it right away. 5 stars out of 5

3. Out From Under--A beautiful slow song. 4 stars out of 5.

4. Kill the Lights--Yeah, this applies in the same category as Circus. It's definitely a song you can dance/sing to. 5 stars out of 5

5. Shattered Glass--Amazing song! 5 stars out of 5

6. If You Seek Amy--I have to admit the title is rather creative. You'll see what I mean when you listen to the song. 5 stars out of 5

7. Unusual You--Another beautiful slow type song. 5 out of 5

8. Blur--It's an okay song. You can definitely listen to it but it's not as catchy as other songs on the album. 3 stars out of 5

9. MMM Papi--Here's where opinions start to divide. I've seen/heard a lot of people think this song is awful. I love the beat to the song so that's why I immediately loved it from first listen. 5 out of 5

10. Mannequin--Another song you can sing/dance to. 5 out of 5

11. Lace and Leather--Super catchy song. 4.5 out of 5

12. My Baby--This is definitely the weak song on the cd. I'll probably skip over this one tbh. 1.5 out of 5

13. Radar--This isn't a different version or a remixed version. This is the same song that was on Blackout. Radar was a good song over on the Blackout cd but I'm not too crazy about the fact they included it on this cd. I realize why they did it. Sounds like they have to make a single out of this song to avoid being sued. I still have to stand by the opinion of wishing they'd included "Trouble" instead of Radar.

Okay, time to talk about artwork. I must admit I'm not too big of a fan of the cover picture, back cover picture, most of the cd booklet art. The only good picture is the one with Britney walking on the tightrope on the back of the cd booklet. Everything else looks photoshopped to hell and back.

Anyway, I think if you're a fan of Britney's music you'll definitely enjoy Circus. That's not to say you can't enjoy this cd and not be a Britney fan at all. Different strokes for different folks and all that. I would still stress the fact of going to a website and preview song snippets before purchasing. I'd recommend that for anything though.

I just love the latest music from Britney. So far, I don't have any issues with the cd. I heard one of her songs on the radio and had to have the cd! Love it!

I purchased this because #1- I love Britney's music. #2- I don't care about public personas, I like what I like for sound and lyrics first and foremost. My favorite songs on this CD are Circus, Womanizer, My Baby, and Radar. I have all of them on repeat and I can't get enough of them. The other songs are good, some better than others, I just don't listen to them nearly as much. I think this CD is worth every penny and I'm happy to see Brit will be back on tour. This CD shows why she's a great entertainer.

OH WOW! BRITNEY IS DEFINITLY BACK WITH ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC ENTERTAINMENT! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE THIS CD! THE WHOLE CD IS JUST AWESOME! I PURCHASED THIS CD BECAUSE I LIKE BRITNEY. I SAW HER 10YRS AGO AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC AND SHE WAS AWESOME THEN AND STILL IS! SHE IS A FANTASTIC ENTERTAINER AND KNOW WHAT HER FANS WANT! AWESOME CD!!! EVERYONE THAT LOVES BRITNEY..THIS CD IS A DEFINITE MUST HAVE!
SINCERELY,
CINDY

i wanted to try something new and i loved all the hits from the radio. didnt have any britney cds before but i love her sound. fav songs "circus" and "unusual you", "if you seek amy", and "radar". worth the buy!

Awesome, I love Britney and i love her music...all the songs in this CD are really good...she had a great comeback!

I love this cd. Great Fun!! Britney Spears is back and better. You can dance to this or just jam in the car. Recommended!! If you like or dislike her, you have to agree this is a good cd.

I liked this cd. Music is upbeat and joyful. Not a Britney Spears fan, but have to admit I liked this cd. I would not hesitate to let my young teen listen or purchase this cd.

I originaly bought this C.D for 2 songs (1) circus (2) If u seek Amy.I love the beats to both of these songs. but then I also like womanizer great song!love the vibe with this whole C.D. the song( unusual you) is pretty good! this C.D is pop rock. If you like pop rock you will love this C.D.

Awfully bubblegum and nauseating to listen to more than 10 times. Clearly her strength is lip syncing and touring. Some songs are catchy, but after awhile, you just get bored with every song echoing the same few words in techno-computer speak. I wanted to like it, just fell short.

I absolutely love this latest album from Britney Spears. All of the songs are great; there isn't one that I don't love. This is her best work yet!!!!

The CD is much like the Blackout CD. It will keep you grooving until the last song! Britney is my generation's Madonna. The CD also includes a DVD of the music video "circus".

Coming from a long time Britney fan, obviously I loved this album. However, that is not the only reason. This album has everything to expect from Britney. It has great good old pop hits such as "Womanizer" and "Circus", songs that cross the line and are just generally fun such as "If U Seek Amy" (the best on the album), "Lace and Leather", and "Blur", some electropop previously seen on Blackout like "Kill the Lights" and "Radar" (which was also on Blackout), great ballads like "Unusual You" and "Out From Under", and just random and funny songs like "Shattered Glass", "MMM Papi" and "Mannequin". Plus, if you have the deluxe version their is "Rock Me In" and "Phonography", two great songs.

It is basically everything from the past put onto one disc. This was a great album and I listen to it daily. The album is well put together and I remember being sad after listening to it the first time, she leaves you wanting for more. Even if your not a fan of Britney, this is one great pop album. Even people who don't like her seem to love this album. How could they not? This is her most brilliantly produced album yet. The album changes direction all the time to keep you interested. A must have album.

this cd is really good. actually better than blackout. the title track and womanizer are so good. of all the britney cds, this is the best one yet.

I purchased the new Britney Spears cd a few weeks ago and listen to it almost everyday. I love the fact after all she has been through she is still able to produce such a good album. I can't really say there is anything I disike about this cd. I enjoy my shopping on ebay because I can find excellent deals on things that I would normally pay a fortune for. I saved around ten dollars getting this on ebay as opposed to buying it in the store. I would recommend this cd to anyone who has bought any of Britneys past music.

I like the cd very much i just got it today! i hear britneys album on the radio and i wanted to by the cd once i heard some of the songs. I like the fact it was very inexpensive than going to the store and buying it from the shelf! i would by cds from him again!

I am satisfied with the service and with the product, I'd most likely buy from this seller again. Thank you

it woks perfect i love it! there is no scratches, and the cd does not skip or anything, i loved dealing with this seller simply because they sell great things and they were very easy to deal with, super fast shipping, very professional.

REGARDLESS OF HER PERSONAL ISSUES, BRITNEY ONCE AGAIN PUTS TOGETHER AN ALBUM WITH MORE OF HER SIGNATURE SONGS. NOT THE POP QUEEN BUT THE QUEEN OF POPULAR SINGLES, HER SONGS "CIRCUS" AND "WOMANIZER" ARE TRULY CLASSIC BRITNEY. SOME OF THE LESS FAMILIAR SONGS ARE CATCHY AS WELL, AND I HAVE TO GIVE THIS CD 5 OUT OF 5 STARS.

thank you so much for sending out the cd so fast. it was in excellent condition and would recommend anyone to buy something from you. it is a great cd and anyone would like it. britneys back!!

MY DAUGHTER WAS BEGGING FOR THIS CD. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE SMILE ON HER FACE WHEN SHE OPENED IT UP ON CHRISTMAS MORNING. SHE PLAYS IT ALL THE TIME. SHE RECENTLY WENT TO A HIGH SCHOOL DANCE AND ONE OF THE SONGS ON THE CD WAS PLAYING AND SHE FELT SO COOL CAUSE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW ALL THE WORDS TO THE SONG.

I LIKE ALLMOST EVERY SONG ON THIS CD, ENERGY PACKED AND WITH AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH AS WELL. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LOVE HER OLD CD'S AND THE WOMANIZER SONG IS GREAT!

I bought this CD because I heard some of the songs on Good Morning America. I haven't been a fan, bu thave followed the stories of her rough year in 2008. I do have to say that this is the best CD she has made. She has definately out did herself on this on. You have to buy it.
