Britney's Thoughts on Her Albums in Her Book

[KylieLanguage]

First of all, I don't think I saw someone else make a thread about this, but if someone did, well...oops  I know many of you have already read the book, but still I just thought this would be a fun thread to do cuz this is one of her parts I was most looking forward to in the book.

Btw: if you still haven't read the book/listened to the audiobook, do yourself a favor!

 

BOMT got a pretty good part of the book, Britney said she felt most passionate about music during this period which is interesting. The story about her meeting Max Martin for the first time and their table caught on fire  I guess even the table couldn't handle how iconic their meeting would be! (Jokes aside glad they were both safe in the end)

I thought the story about B purposefully staying up late so her voice would sound gravelly/s3xy for the recording of BOMT was really interesting. Makes me listen to the song differently now.

 

OIDIA honestly got next to nothing, was kind of hoping she would maybe talk about "Stronger"...but I guess she didn't have much to say on the era

 

Self-titled got a bit more, she referenced it's release. She actually talked more on "Crossroads" and the tour. She loved the DWAD SO MUCH show which makes me happy   she gushes over it a bit throughout which I enjoyed.

 

ITZ shockingly got not much. I was expecting way more on Toxic or even Everytime. She does talk about the story of getting Madonna on MATM which is sickening and legendary, she also says that's one of her favorite songs.

She HATED the Onyx Tour, which shocked many fans including myself. It just seemed like a pivotal moment in her career, but I understand and respect her opinion. The fact she manifested and prayed she would break something so it could end is sad...but also kind of iconic I can't lie  Girl was DONE.

The Kevin relationship really took over most of this section...

 

Blackout. Hell yeeessss. I know all us stans were looking forward to this part. She knows her fans stan and worship this album and she DELIVERED. I was shocked at how much she talked about it, I'm so happy she did. She consistently refers to Blackout as a work she's super proud of and how satisfying the creative process was and it just healed my soul. Ever since I was a young teenage fan this was always my favorite so I'm so happy she gave it the flowers it deserves.

The stories behind "Hot As Ice" and the "Gimme More" vid were very interesting. Her talking about the 2007 VMA performance was honestly heartbreaking

Also when her dad was saying she needed a comeback and in her head she thought "I just released my best album but ok whatever" that floored me

 

The con-era albums (besides Glory) got hardly anything, which both surprised me and also didn't? If that makes sense? 

Circus and Femme Fatale got nothing apart from referring to the tours. I was hoping we'd get something on "Womanizer" and possibly more insight on the FF era, which seems very mysterious, and apparently what she wanted for the album was scrapped.

BJ got a bit more, obviously more focused on the residency and the hellscape it became. She does like "Work *****" which I agree Is a bop that slays. I wish she talked about Perfume. She doesn't go into the whole "most personal album" or Myah Marie situation which is interesting. I'll make a separate thread for the Myah thing.

Glory got the most which isn't surprising, I'm glad she made at least one album she truly loves during the cship.

 

Anyways, this thread is long enough, are y'all happy with everything she went over, or is there maybe another topic you wished she might've covered?
