Will You Be Buying Britney Spears’ ‘Britney Jean’?

Published: Tuesday 3rd Dec 2013 by Sam

 

Today marks the global release of Britney Spears‘ eighth studio album ‘Britney Jean’.

Given the lofty heights of Spears’ star-power, the arrival of the LP was always going to be a Pop event. That much was a given.

However, for many, the release is marred by the project’s lack of hit single/s (preceding efforts ‘Work B*tch’ and ‘Perfume’ both fared poorly on the charts). What’s more, the once-muted frustration of fans jarred by the singer’s lack of promotional appearances and performances has grown into a loud chorus of disappointment.

And yet still, the LP – as at writing – sits at #1 on iTunes tallies across the globe (including the US and UK).

Ever keen to plough through the smoke, mirrors, and propaganda, That Grape Juice wants to know what YOU think of ‘Britney Jean’! Will you be buying? What helped you reach your decision?

Let us know below…

  15. Xtina Lover December 3, 2013

    Sorry to say this, but it’s much better than Bangerz, Prism and Artflop.
    Please Britney, make a live performance.

  16. Lana the legend December 3, 2013

    Nope to much EDM… tik tik boom is cute tho.

  17. Lilo December 3, 2013

    YES.
    for me it’s beyond our expectation.

  18. Check Your Lipstick Before You Come & Talk To Me December 3, 2013

    Not a Britney stan but always rooting for her – most of you guys (minus the pressed Ciara stans – seeing as Brit will top Ciara’s Year-to-Date sales of “Ciara” thus far in a mere week) seem to say the album has some good tracks so I may have to check those out. Ciara stans check your lipstick and maybe buy your girl’s album – I like Ciara but ya’ll make it so hard to focus on anything but your pressed nature.

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) December 3, 2013

      I love that username…. Yassssssss

      • Check Your Lipstick Before You Come & Talk To Me December 3, 2013

        I see you – Glad you approve! 🙂

  19. Nichole December 3, 2013

    No

  20. Avenger December 3, 2013

    I don’t buy Britney Spears albums…

  21. B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare December 3, 2013

    Love Britney but this album is absolutely terrible.

  22. #Beyindependent December 3, 2013

    You have to have a lackluster taste in music and talent to support this b**** her so called vocals are pathetic she sounds awkward as hell trying so sing a ballad just no thanks

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) December 3, 2013

      And yet it’s December and Beyonce’s radio tested songs which were supposed to be out last year are nowhere to be seen.

      • #Beyindependent December 3, 2013

        Ok look its the obsessed bey stan^^^

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) December 3, 2013

        And it’s the president of the Lovebird fan club ^^^

  23. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) December 3, 2013

    Already bought the digital copy and I love it. Will be buying the physical copy off of Amazon today, and from Best buy, Walmart and Target this Friday.

    This album is amazing. Best pop album this quarter after PRISM.

  24. cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

    No I won’t buy it, its more basic than Prism. I downloaded the sh!t on mediafire a few days ago (just like @TROLLbird did) and its very underwhelming..

    It will be a tight race between Britney Jean and Prism for the “Basic Album Of The Year”…. TBH!!!!!!

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) December 3, 2013

      Oh you should have told me you couldn’t afford the full priced CD at Game, I might have gifted it to you on iTunes.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        I don’t remember there being a Game in Soweto though, so I don’t know how u will get ur physical copy.. I know u been listening to BJ since last week because u don’t support ur faves, u rather download their music off illegal sites (ie Prism) and u don’t buy their concert tickets..

        POOR you, must be hard living in that sowetan shack of yours

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        Lol, you clearly don’t move around passed your ramshackle in Alexandria do you. Soweto is much more developed than the cease pool you live in.

        Plus you need to learn how to read, I said MIGHT have gifted it to you on iTunes. You must be one of those people who passed metric with 30%.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        I need to know though, how can a poor Sowetan f*** like you afford to buy a physical copy, let alone maintain an itunes accounts??

        You are so poor, u couldn’t even afford the cheapest Riherpes ticket (R340) when she was in YOUR backyard, instead u were on TGJ trolling for the gods while she performed to empty seats.

        So again, where will ur poor azZz get the money to buy BJ?

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        This coming from someone who just admitted to getting an album off of mediafire. You better check your receipts before you try to call anyone out on supporting an artist.

        The real tea is you Gags fans failing to support your fav, what second week drops, I can’t.

        Don’t try to come for me unless I send for you.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        Ofcos I use mediafire A LOT!! The only albums I have bought this year are ARTPOP and Love & War, the other basics can miss my coinage

        The real kiiiiii though is how ur poor azzz also uses mediafire, more than me even. That’s how u got hold of Prism a week before its release. But I understand, ur a poor Sowetan f*** who can’t even afford a basic R340 ticket to support his fave.

        I still need to know though where u will get the coinage to buy BJ if u are THIS poor

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        Honey, I already bought BJ on iTunes, will be purchasing it on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target over the course of this week, so seethe.

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        What you need to do is explain why you let Artpop drop like an anchor in the ocean second week.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        Why would I seethe at your obvious fake tea??? How can a poor f*** like you afford to maintain an itunes account when u can’t even afford R340 for a basic Riherpes ticket??

        And where will you find Target in SA, LET ALONE YOUR IMPOVERISHED HOOD OF SOWETO??

        If I lived in Soweto and I was a poor f*** like u, I would also come on TGJ and lie

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        I will give you a hint, let’s see if your brain which passed metric with 30% can come comprehend.

        I bought BJ when it came out at midnight, that was Last night for me, I will also be buying it at Best Buy, Target and Walmart, as well as Amazon.

        Now if you passed metric with at least 32%, you should be able to figure it out.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        What you need to explain is why u don’t support your faves

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        But with which coinage tho?? You can’t even afford R340 for a basic Riherpes tickets, where are you gonna get the money to buy 4 copies of BJ?

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        But who uses that outdated currency though? Most definitely not me. You’re the one who doesn’t support your fav, just look at how FLOPulous ArtPop is.

        And not Gags performing in front of half empty stadiums in South Africa, the struggle.

      • cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

        LOLOLOL at your fake tea again, it must be a Sowetan thing to lie because u do it ALl the time, probably something in the water..

        I support my faves!! I bought ARTPOP, and I went to see her when she was in SA. But not only that, I bought golden circle tickets. SOMETHING YOU CAN’T AFFORD!! Aint that why u really mad though??

        EVERY SOUTH AFRICAN KNOWS THAT THE BTWB IN JHB AND CPT WAS SOLD OUT!!! The same can’t be said about Riherpes DWT, I remember there still some tickets available on computicket on both nights of the tour, ALL THE WHILE U WERE BUSY TROLLING US ON TGJ!!!!

  25. Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

    Listening to it right now, thank you for blessing my ears Princess of Pop, yassss ma this is amazing.

    • Molly December 3, 2013

      My fav tracks are Alien Tik Tik boom and body ache!!! what about yours sis?

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

        Yasssss My favs are Alien, Tik Tik Boom, Till it’s gone, Passenger, Brightest morning star.

        I love this album.

  26. joey December 3, 2013

  27. Molly December 3, 2013

    Omg!!!!! I f****** love the album.. just bought my copy off itunes!!!! Yaas Slayney.

  28. Molly December 3, 2013

    TIK TIK BOOM NEEDS TO BE THE NEXT SINGLE!

  29. cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

    BASIC!!!!!!

    YOU + WILL = DEAL

  30. Mimi Carey December 3, 2013

    F*** no she’s a 30 year old making 13 year old music

  31. Iconic cici December 3, 2013

    The album is so good her vocals have improved she is getting my coins…

  32. Iconic cici December 3, 2013

    i wanna dance til my body aches! Yaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!

  33. Sue December 3, 2013

    Only fans of basic b****** like Ciara and Katy will purchase

  34. FAF December 3, 2013

    i LOVE HOW CIARA HAS YOU SEETHING.. KEEP IT GOING! 😀 love the promo train !!! kiiiii

  35. Why So Jelly? December 3, 2013

    The album is really not all that. Typical and generic. Not worthy of my coins.

  36. FAF December 3, 2013

    My last post was @ lipstick lesbian

  37. Bey Fan December 3, 2013

    I like some of the tracks… just not big fan of “pop” music or Britney. However, as i was listening to the tracks, and granted i only listened for about 45 seconds on each track, the material seemed so much better than Work B****. I wonder why that was the lead single?

  38. Mya December 3, 2013

    No. Absolute garbage

    • kiiiiiii December 3, 2013

      Perfect way to describe Beyonce’s discography.

  39. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 3, 2013

    No I Won’t Be Buying. 😕

    • JOHNVIDAL December 3, 2013

      Wow if you say so then it has to be REALLY bad.

  40. Mark111 December 3, 2013

    I never bought a Britney Spears album, but I will say this is an album for her fans. She did everything they asked her to do this era, so you can’t be mad at that. And it’s truly for the fans, not a PR moves because your hyped album that your label spent 25 million to promote it and it fell flat.

    • m December 3, 2013

      yas drag that b**** Gaga!

  41. my forehead tho December 3, 2013

    I wouldn’t buy that compilation of vocal struggles even if it were free

    Other than Tori Kelly, this years music was disgraceful. Beyonce, Emelie Sande, Adele, and Mariah need to hurry up and release their music.

  42. Brazilian Beyonce!!! December 3, 2013

    I don’t like it but I Love britney I’ll just download Tik Tik Boom on Itunes if she releases it as a single either than that I wish her all the success.
    The only albums I am buying this year are “ARTPOP and Bangerz”.

  43. Berry December 3, 2013

    I purchased Sevyn Streeter–REAL TALENT!

    • Mark111 December 3, 2013

      @Berry

      Now that’s an EP I DID buy!

  44. Revolution December 3, 2013

    No thanks

  45. cake like lady gaga December 3, 2013

  47. My Forehead Tho December 3, 2013

    Tori Kelly’s EP>>>>>> dog s***>>>> Prism>>Bangerz>>>>Rihanna’s live vocals>> Ciara>>>>>>>>>>>ArtPop>>>>>>>>Britney Jean

    In that order..

    There shouldn’t even be a Grammys this year tbh..

  48. Pasha December 3, 2013

    Too much autotune, EDM and generic lyrics for my tastes. I haven’t purchased a Britney album since I was in elementary school (OIDIA).

  49. Keep it 100! December 3, 2013

    Nope!
    The album is BEYOND basic and only a t*** or someone who just like garbage pop would say it slays. Makes you question some ppl’s taste in music.
    1.5/5 glad my bff let me listen first before buying!

  50. Skyfall December 3, 2013

    She’s selling off name alone

  51. mulaah December 3, 2013

    hahahah.. dead at this Mzanzi bi**s at each other’s throats.. lovebird i love you but lets be real, how the hell can you afford 4 albums at one go?? so you are telling me you just gonna go to Maponya mall or Jabulani mall and get those albums?? how much does one copy cost? lets be real honey coz um sure it cost more dan R100 per copy…. but its good to see lots of southern african on this blog,we even have one from Lesotho.

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

      $15 per copy worth spent honey. BJ is worth every penny.

      Just like I spent $10 – $14 a copy digitizing all my Rihanna albums. Worth every penny.

  52. lesotho finnest December 3, 2013

  53. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 3, 2013

    Sorry but absolutely NOT. This is her WORST album to date hands down. Will.i.am ruined the entire album with that techno/electro sounding crap that’s tired and old. Terrible choice on Britney’s part. This album, like Justin, is selling because of her name, that’s all. Even Britney’s barely promoting it cause she probably knows it’s trash too…

  54. Perry Power December 3, 2013

    Hell no. Britney has always been trash but she’s gotten worse each year.

    • kiiiiiii December 3, 2013

      Says a Katy stan lol. Considering that your fav had to completely change her image (Katy Hudson and gospel) to become relevant with childish, bubblegum meaningless songs is just sad. Let’s hope Katy will outsell Baby One More Time one day.

  55. m December 3, 2013

    Yes, the album is great, anyone who says other wise is just a hater

  56. Tim December 3, 2013

    Yes! I love all the songs!

  57. Lovebird (Britney Jean – OUT NOW) December 3, 2013

    $15 per copy worth spent honey. BJ is worth every penny.

    Just like I spent $10 – $14 a copy digitizing all my Rihanna albums. Worth every penny. Every single penny.

  58. The Boy Toy December 3, 2013

    Lol @ the options. No ma’am, but I wouldn’t call it a mess. 😆

  59. ABC December 3, 2013

    NO! I’m not 16.

  60. RoyalKev December 3, 2013

    I wasn’t impressed!

  61. CherylSoldier December 3, 2013

    I’m sorry but the vocals on this album…….no no.

  62. Spinelli December 3, 2013

    Could one of her delusional fans explain to me what makes this album so personal? If I had to sum BJ up in one word, it would be—FORGETTABLE. 🙄

  63. Navy Nick December 3, 2013

    I love Britney, I hope she does well. I have it on iTunes, I like what I have heard: ALIEN & BODY ACHE, NOW THAT I FOUND YOU, AND TIK TIK BOOM, so far are like YESSSSS!!!!!

  64. JOHNVIDAL December 3, 2013

    NO! It´s almost terrible. Are a few people really praising her VOCALS on this album??? 🙂
    How is it that most people who support (and I said most, not all the people)Britney are Katy Perry or Rihanna lovers too?? Omg the taste in the talentless “artists” never ceases to amaze me.

  65. LOL December 3, 2013

    LOL THIS FLOP WILL BE LUCKY IF SHE SEES 125K LOL

  66. Nikko December 3, 2013

    My Top 5 of #BritneyJean
    1. Body ache
    2. Tik tik boom
    3. Alien
    4. Now that I found you
    5. Work b*tch
    10 starts great pop album!!!

  67. Nikko December 3, 2013

    Stars*

  68. paul December 4, 2013

    All I thought when hearing the album is “the f*** have you done wil.i.am?”. This must be Britney’s weakest album. Vocally, yes, Britney’s voice is kinda back but th songs, some or most, were almost basic. Im a big fan but Im not impressed.

  69. Rebecca Black > Lady Flopga December 4, 2013

    I will illegally download it from my favorite t****** site, as I’m sure EVERYONE else who reads this joke of a site does. 🙂
