Deep Dive: Britney should've released "Blur" as a single!


Recommended Posts

Circus is full of great tracks. I wish she would've performed more songs from it, at least in specific dates or later on. Can't believe she did Lace & Leather but never did Unusual You, Shattered Glass or Blur. 

I love Quicksand, Phonograpy, Amnesia and Trouble as well. Great great album full of pop gold. Might even be in her trinity but sadly I don't think Britney had much input or passion for Circus.

Mannequin deserved the single treatment it wasn't anything she did normally in her artistry.

YES! omg YES!! I'm SUCH a huge "Mannequin" fan. I honestly don't like to think about what she could have done better or simply differently, she's had an amazing career either way, but I DO think she should have released "Mannequin" as a single!!

She never really did outside in the zone, its not that she wanted to, she wasn't allowed to 

 

That's the issue.

I always got date räpe vibes from this song.:eheeek_britney_unsure_ew_gross_um_awkward_embarrassed_cringe:

I’ve def had nights where I blacked out and didn’t remember what I did but thank God, I’ve never woken up in a strangers bed. I kinda feel like Blur is Early Mornin’s cousin, but I prefer EM cuz she and her girls went out on their choice to party, to hook up and she remembered the dudes name (Joe). 
 

I do think the song is vibey and it’s a cool storytelling type of song, which we don’t get many on the radio these days, but I remember being young when this came out and knowing about date-rápe pills and I always questioned if this was what she’s was singing about :decisions_britney_thinking_confused_focusing_unsure_xfactor_bw_black_white:

Um Blackout was pretty much entirely Britney...

She only has 5 credits.

Aaliyah said the same thing she doesn't they Take the conversations they  have with her, and turn them into songs. But to me that's not songwriting, I mean I feel she should be credited.

But she isn't.

 

Songwriting is important in the industry today

Her voice sounds great, but I don’t think it’s single material at all. It would have flopped harder than radar.

kill the lights would’ve probably been a hit. But unusual you is the best song, and I knew a lot of ppl who weren’t Britney fans who lived that song if they got the opportunity to hear it. It could have been a grower

My thoughts exactly! I mean thinking of it, I'm kinda surprised her team incluided that song with those lyrics in the era when they wanted to "clean" B's image.

 

But I like the song very much!

 

tho Unusual You deserved to be THE single.  :clicktina_xtina_christina_aguilera_mouse_computer:

The vibe. :werk_britney_bw_black_white_dance_sexy_flirt_my_prerogative:

Everything is still a blur ☁️

This should've been a single. It's urban radio friendly and Pop friendly. Danja gave a very Timbaland-esque beat. This could have been sung by the late and great Aaliyah. 

Thoughts? :schoolingtime_talking_telling_glasses_preaching:
