Why is circus (the song)so overlooked when it's literally

[Guest]

One of the best pop songs that's ever been made? And im not even gonna talk about the video which is a visual masterpiece.

The lyrics are so well writtenz thought and executed and they were written for britney to sing. I dont think any other artist out there could have done this song because it doesnt represent what it represents for britney.

And the guitar riff on the pre chorus? It's pure extasis. I feel the adrenaline mpving thro my veins

[Britney's Blackout]

The song is amazing. The video is great. The dance break is underwhelming. She should have had a toxic ish kinda breakdown, as in, harder choreography.

I prefer it over Womanizer, but it didn't age well tbh I feel like this is the problem with most of Dr Luke's stuff...it sounds fresh for a minute, and then after a few years it sounds super dated

Still flawless tho

I barely misten to the original version, I always listen to the Simon Ellis remix he shared. That's a total bop!

The original is great too but it misses some power to me

[Spearsfan]

I don't think it's overlooked. I feel like as a group we are focusing on Britney's current state. The gp isn't talking about Britney at all these days. 

[Hypnotherapy]

Top 3 Britney songs for me, I love it. I think the problem with it is that it's a song pretty much tailor made for a performance, not for radio. Is pure camp, stage music.

I LOVE the instrumental and lyrics and it's the perfect song structure for a performance, slow opener, hard choruses, breakdown etc

The video is also one of my favourite Britney videos.

Its a pity Britney never brought the original choreography to stage, and both TCSBS and POM don't do the song justice at all.

its getting boring after listening to several times

I love it the video is awesome, and Circus along with Womanizer were what made me have faith in Britney again (actually since BTI).

The video could've been edited so much better though. And I like the GMA performance, but overall I think none of the live performances has made it justice.

I also love the Twister Dance Remix

[ebritneybeat]

I really love the dark kind of beat and the lyrics that were describing Britney's life.It's one of her best songs.

[Isla]

I prefer it over Womanizer, I love the lyrics and how they are about Britney's life and being in the spotlight, comparing it to a circus show. The video was awesome too.

I dont think overlooked. Very popular. I know from Turkey (she stayed at number 1 for weeks..) and I know my friends..

I've always loved Circus.  I guess it's dated in that it couldn't be released today yet, it's flawless for the year it was released.

I still think Womanizer is an extremely catchy song.

[none]

it's a great song but it's also overrated

it's more of a performance song rather than a bop to listen to

im still not over the fact how hardcore she is dancing during the breakdown during pom

 

she must be out of breathe everytime she is doing this

I hope you aren't being serious 

 

The circus video is one of her best videos ever

Well she's ruining the song with POM. The performance is so bad. The original version was okay - at least I really enjoyed the dance break. Now that she axed that and just walks around for it, it's one of the worst performances of the night. It's sad - like you said, it's SUCH a great song and such a "performance" song that it could be a lot better.

Twister rave remix of circus is my jam tho
