Will Britney make a comeback?
Everyone keeps asking whether Madonna or Kylie will ever make a big comeback but what about Britney? Femme Fatale underperformed (it has been certified platinum in the U.S. because of shipments), Britney Jean bombed, Work Bitch underperformed, and Pretty Girls flopped. Her last solo top five hit in the U.K. was seven years ago. She seems to be doing ok in Las Vegas, but she hasn't sold out a leg since Feb 2014. Will she make a comeback or has her career run its course? Unlike Madonna and Kylie, Britney hasn't been in the business 20 years and is still in her early 30s. Is there time? I hope she does, I have a soft spot for her.

Too old?! Please.. If she puts effort into it, it can happen!
But's she still young and I think she could have her "Fever, "Believe" and "Confessions" type era.
Her lack of enthusiasm and promotion does not her no good in my opinion. Once upon a time, she was massive in the UK and she has abandoned her UK fanbase a hell of a lot other the years, with only a X Factor slot being the only thing she has promo wise.
Femme Fatale was a great album. Still play it and love it to this day. 'Till The World Ends' was a huge hit in the US and elsewhere, it did OKish here, but for some reason Radio would not play it, no idea why Radio 1 shunned it (ageism again probably) .
Britney Jean was half great, half crap. literally 50/50. So she will really need to pull something amazing out of the bag. And unfortunately i just cant see it, she will likely be one of those artists who will carry on releasing music now and again for her core fanbase.. much like what i see happening to Lady Gaga.
Frankly i would take them anyday over the stuff which gets flogged to the masses such as Sam Smith and anything else which gets to number one these days for that matter.
I totally agree here. I have the same opinion of both Femme Fatale and Britney Jean. At the moment it's hard to know what album 9 will be like, but if Pretty Girls is the lead single then it's not a good start. I read somewhere before that Britney has nothing left to prove now and mostly wants to release music because she enjoys it or for the fans. She'll always have a cult following of hardcore fans.
I'm glad that Pretty Girls flopped because hopefully it will give her the push to create something better.
I'm sure she could have a big hit again. Most artists can, if the songs are good enough and enough people get to hear them!
she cannot really be compared to both madonna and kylie imho, as at least they can cut it live with live singing where Britney is just depending on her stageshow and mimes throughout her career. Why should she deserve another chance, she should put some real effort in it:cool:
I remember Duran Duran's early material with fond memories. Does it mean I'll buy the new stuff? Of course it bloody doesn't. What a ridiculous thing to say.
What like kylie and madonna does with their music coz at least britney still has decent songs, britney is one of the most grounded celebs that we actually have and is no diva and appreciates what she does
I think she will, it's taken her a very very long time to deal with everything she's been going through since her breakdown that she's finally happy again and will do what she wants to do to keep that happiness within her and hope that shows when she finally has a new album out
I think that too though I loved "Blackout" and I liked "Circus" and "Femme Fatale".
I've never liked "Britney Jean".
While age might be a factor she's only (nearly 34) Kylie was in the height of it at 34 and Mariah was 35 when she had We Belong Together so I think If there's a song everyone is going mad for the radio stations would overturn the alleged age related bias.
How old is Enrique Iglesias? He must be in his 40s now and he has one of the biggest songs around at the moment.
If she has the right songs written for her and sounds good on them, then yes she could have a comeback.
1. Airplay - it amazes me that a song can be on Spotify for months and do nothing yet once Radio 1 and Capital FM start playing one of these songs, it suddenly shoots up the Spotify chart.
2. Promotion - get Britney in the UK to perform on 1 or 2 TV shows to promote her new single. Pretty Girls might've been crap but it got to #16 so chances are had Britney & Iggy performed the song on a popular UK show that boost might well've given the track a better chance of remaining in the top 10.
Blackout is my favourite Britney album and probably one of the most played of mine. Gimme More is my lecturer's song, along with Slave 4 U and Work Bitch
I'd certainly welcome more music from her. Prefer her to Taylor Swift any day of the week.
