music CIRCUS - The way it should've been!

[JustLuvMe]

Whenever I stream Circus on Spotify (which you flops hoes should be doing with Britney's music in todays world) I find myself pressing skip to the later half of the album. It just doesn't have the same impact on me anymore. Anyway, I noticed the bonus tracks are a lot stronger than the material that was released on the album.

First off songs that should've been axed (or just released as bonus tracks):

• MMM Papi
• Mannequin
• Lace & Leather
• My Baby
• Radar (seriously what even) 

Spoiler

I would include If U Seek Amy, but I can already see you guys coming for me so I'd rather not 

I would replace them with:

• Quicksand
• Trouble
• Phonography
• Amnesia - kind of weak but it's better than Rock Me In and RockBoy

Also wasn't Everyday an unreleased track from Circus, that should've been the Bonus Track at the end

[The Greatest Show]

pretty sure they put Radar on it because they had to not because they wanted to.

they had to if they wanted to release it as a single if I'm correct.. they didn't have to release it as a single..  

[Commotion]

That basically killed Radar. It should've been a single from Blackout, and I haven't heard a single valid reason why it wasn't.

Because they tried to end the Blackout era really quick for Circus and weren't able to release it in time even though it was promised to fans?

Radar was due to be released as a single from Blackout around the time they started to rebuild her image, however as the Blackout album had negative connotations with her breakdown, they decided to release a fresh song from her upcoming 'comeback' album instead. However, by this point Radar was already promised as a single and physical copies of it were already being produced and distributed (even a MV concept was planned) so to fulfil their contractual obligations they included it on Circus as well to be later be released as its fourth single.

I wish they still went with its original MV idea though, she was gonna be chasing guys round London or something that were on her 'radar' - sounded so cool 

[IUSAtonight]

I don't like Trouble and i like Lace and leather hut i agree on the rest, i don't really care for quicksand thought so i would leave that as a bonus.

I don't like how they only have Rock me in and Phonography on Spotify from the bonus stuff

[LeglessJamie]

Only songs that should have been omitted are Mmm Papi and Radar all the others are amazing.

Mannequin is great and heck I even love My Baby!

They had to release it as a single because they already had a contract with the producers for Blackout

I can't stand trouble. I ruined it for myself when I heard that **** star's version of it

They did have a contract with Bloodshy that stipulated if they worked together, the song must be a single. Because they moved from Blackout to Circus for obvious reasons, they had no choice to release Radar as a single, as the contract stipulated.

I agree that a lot of the bonus songs are great but I LOVE Mmm Papi, Mannequin, and Lace And Leather... so...

Spoiler

NO 

 

[Kisle]

I pretty much agree with your changes, but I wouldn’t replace mannequin for anything. 

[ITZFFGL]

The only throwaway song from Circus is Mmm Papi. I can agree some of the bonus tracks would be cute on the standard edition, but nothing should be scrapped. So much great pop.

Here’s why I don’t like Mmm Papi

 

[yorkster]

If I were going for perfect world scenario, taking into account the known songs she recorded during that era, personally I'd go with:

1. Welcome To The Greatest Show On Earth (intro)
2. Circus
3. Womanizer
4. Unusual You
5. Quicksand
6. If U Seek Amy
7. Telephone
8. Kill The Lights
9. Mannequin
10. Blur
11. Phonography
12. Abroad
13. Out From Under

- - BONUS TRACKS - -

14. Dangerous
15. Trouble
16. Shattered Glass
17. Amnesia
18. Radar (hidden track)

Yep they signed a contract to release it as a single. But it’s always gonna be a Blackout track to me.

I would get rid of Mmm Papi and My Baby, replace them with Phonography and either Rock Me In or Trouble.

I agree the original video sounded much better. The released video didn’t fit the song, I always thought it should have been the video for Unusual You.
