Predictions And Advice For Britney Spears
Here’s my prediction for Britney’s new CD and single: “In The Zone,” like her idol Madonna’s horrific “American Life” CD, on its first week, will definitely debut and stay at No. 1. Thanks to the combined efforts of die-hard/hardcore and FEW remaining Britney and Madonna fans. But on the second week, like the ill-fated “American Life” CD, “In the Zone” will uncontrolably and helplessly swirl into the abyss of Hot 100 oblivion . . . and into the sea of Pop Music Disasters. Its first single, “Me Against The Music,” in spite of its 175 spins prior to its release, like Mother Madonna’s hated “American Life” single, will never have a life in the Hot 100 singles chart, much more the Top 10!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to “In The Zone.” I’ll buy 2 CD singles of “Me Against The Music” (for my Madonna collection), and 2 copies of the full length CD (for my Britney collection). However our love for Britney/Madonna cannot change the fact that “In The Zone”/”Me Against The Music” is already doomed even before we get to hear its entirety. The response to the first single usually determines the fate of the entire CD. And from what we’ve heard so far, it’s going to be a horrible CD.
My advice: Britney, there is still time. Go back to the studio and re-work everything. Drop Madonna. Don’t let her string of bad luck rub on you.
I’m kinda jealous of Christina Aguilera fans. At least they will always have the “Stripped” CD to be proud of . . . and we still remember the melody of its first single. I hope Britney can give us a CD in the league of “Stripped” — melodically, thematically, and artistically. Or are melody, artistic integrity and sense just too much for Britney and her people’s capabilities?
