Simon Ellis Talks ‘Circus’, ‘Piece Of Me’ & ‘Stronger’ From TCSBS

[Cqleb]

Music director Simon Ellis reveals he wrote the dialogue of the circus introduction and that it was Jamie king’s idea to open the show with the title track. Simon mixed 5 versions of circus for the tour, one of the versions is heard as the outro of the show which was supposed to be used for the opening but Britney and Jamie thought the song itself sounded too different but decided to use it anyway because he says he loved it 

Simon said piece of me is one of his favourite songs and that Britney always wanted a lot of the blackout album in the show because she loves the album so much.   

Simon also says he mixed a version of Stronger that was never used that sampled daft punk. 

At the end of you can hear one of simon’s tour mix of circus

I’ve wanted to hear his Stronger mix for years. Supposedly it’s like 10 minutes or something?

What’s that song at the end?? I’ve never heard it

The original crap.  I'm glad you make a recap each time cause listening to that podcast is the worst experience for me.

Makes a lot of sense. I still get chills when this album start playing in my music.

i feel like this Circus remix has already leaked and I think he passed that instrumental on for another artist to use on their tour a few years later, I'm sure I've heard the song in soundcloud before. 

So when are exhale hackers working their magic to put their hands on that Stronger remix?

the stronger mix sounds intriguing! I wish she performed it during the circus tour
