Britney Spears

[Lost In Japan.]

Bloodshy and Avant are overrated by Britney fans. They've made so many shit songs. They are responsible for the worst Britney single ever (My Prerogative). Plus let's not forget the abomination that was Do Somethin'.

I didn't even know they'd done either of those songs! That just makes them much better haha, My Prerogative is one of her best singles.

So no, they didn't peak with Toxic.

Exactly, because

Piece Of Me > Toxic.

 

[ILOVERICCI]

I tend to love most of their productions, and not just Britney's songs. Jordin Sparks' Shy Boy, Kylie's Speakerphone, BoA's Touched and so on. I'm also one of the few (it seems) who loved their contributions to Madonna's Confessions... album.

Actually, Bloodshy & Avant's demos for Madonna's Confessions were FAR better (like 10x) than the final versions where Stuart Price got his dirty little hands on it and butchered the the songs to "conform" it to the rest of the tracks.

If you listen to the B&A demos of How High, Like it Or Not, and Get Together, they sounded freakin amazing, and they're just demos!

I'll join in those few. "Like It Or Not" is one of the best tracks of the entire album for me.

I think Like It or Not is the best song on the album. It's brilliant.

But their production for other artists usually tends to be very Britney-esque, which is not really a bad thing but they're better when their get original. Like with Sky Ferreira's One which is probably my favourite song this year.

 

[jj]

I can't believe I forgot about Piece of Me. It's my favourite Britney song.

But still. They are hit and miss. Most of their work are just dull. Example, Dangerous Muse 'I Want It All' and Crystal Kay 'Its a Crime': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6sc-zpFL0

But when they DO work with Britney, they create magic!  It's like guaranteed when they work with her.  Majority of their songs for other artists are amazing, and the ones you mentioned are probably the only few... or have you ever thought maybe its actually the singers that influence how the song turns out?

I am not saying that they are totally useless. But they are just really hit and miss. They peaked with Toxic.

The production on My Prerogative was FLAWLESS.

I remember reading an interview where B&A said that Britney would call them up in the middle of the night with lyrics or a tune, and be like 'WORK ON A SONG WITH THIS NOW'. I wish she still did that.

 

[Mr Telephone Man]

My Prerogative is a flawless, will hear no hate for it.

But I wanted to know, do artists ever have CD's on tours of the songs they sing during the concert, like a concert CD of the versions performed during the concert....not live vocals per say, but the remixed songs and stuff. I wish Britney would have done that so I could have gotten the Circus remix to Slave, Baby One More Time, and her version of You Oughta Know (which I would die to have).

 

[Little L]

Something else.

I just found out that Oops! I Did It Again was Britney's second most expensive music video. Even more shocking is the fact that it's supposedly almost as expensive as Toxic!

 

[Mr Telephone Man]

But her most expensive is still Slave 4 U....Toxic had over a $1,000,000 budget, but it didn't actually spend near that.

 

[Little L]

Well my source is Wikipedia so you're probably right. Slave doesn't really look that expensive compared to Toxic though. Do you know the actual sum of money spent for it? And i wonder what was so expensive about it.

 

[Mr Telephone Man]

Supposedly, DJ Scribble (remember him haha) was one of the most expensive aspects of it. I really don't know why it was so expensive, but I remember when VH1 did a special on the Most Expensive Videos of All Time, it was on the list and it was like $1million+.

 

[Someboy]

I'm sure the amount of spray tan alone in 'Slave 4 U' was half the budget.

 

[AAAAAAAHHHPUSSYCONTROL]

I'm sure the amount of spray tan alone in 'Slave 4 U' was half the budget.

She could use a spray tan or two these days.

 

[Mr Telephone Man]

The amount of spray tan was so grotesque during the Slave days, she looked like Donatella Versace. She was obsessed with tanning...not a good thing at all.

 

[AAAAAAAHHHPUSSYCONTROL]

She was obsessed with tanning...not a good thing at all.

Yeah, you can tell it took it's toll in her skin as well. She's got a petty rough looking chest, which is where the leather-effect usually starts.

 

[heyho]

Her My Prerogative cover is better than the original. FAR better.

Yes, I just went there.

B&A + Britney is brilliant. No ups and downs as far as I'm concerned. Just ups and uppers.

Agree, Britney's version just has more bite and attitude to it.
