Mannequin is Britney's Diss Song to Her Fans and No One Realized?

[Gossip Girl]

When you listen to the song, you think she's talking about her ex, right?

Wrong. It's directed to her fans. It's cleverly, lyrically disguised.
Circus era was a bitter era for her. She  didn't want to tour but was made by management (to salvage her career). 

She's telling you even though you'll scream and cry your eyes out to her, her face will be like a mannequin. She doesn't care and she'll perform in a monotomous fashion because her mind and heart are elsewhere. She's this mannequin, a puppet, stringed/told to what she has to do (perform). She'll be Milli Vanilli, and she knows you'll still go to her shows. It's her inside joke.
 

Wanted to share this trivia for one of my favorite pop songs of all time.

Mannequin choreography was being rehearsed at around the same time she was recording the vocals for Womanizer. I really don’t think it’s that deep

Hmmm, didn't know that. Post revised. But the song IS about her fans, that is for sure.

You forgot the "xoxo.. gossip girl" at the end of your post. 

 

 

I don't agree with you though

I doubt she’d attack the people she is trying to make buy the music

Thought the song was about the paparazzi and the media? You are thinking too deeply into this

Who are also the same people who drove her to tears of happiness on the opening night of the Circus tour.

its not about her fans...

[Ryan Godspeed]

if you ask britney, she'll answer "long time ago I saw this beautiful mannequin and I wanted to make a song about it" 

[JustLuvMe]

It's not about her fans 

[Alex_1991]

Well it could be about her current performing skills
 

[WilderWein]

I hate it when people share their theory or opinion as if its a fact.

[DollyParton]

And fans still think Britney cried of happiness in the beginning of the first circus tour performance.

Was Mannequin the original lead for her 6 th studio album untill Womanizer and Circus were recorded ?

because she did honey

[BoyToySoldier]

Yes because the high energy choreo she was rehearsing reflects that concept so much.

No, she was just rehearsing choreography, probably just to get back into performing.

Kill The Lights is the only other song that I know for sure was considered for lead
