Squint at the cover of Circus and it's easy to mistake Britney Spears for the flow-haired Jessica Simpson--an indication that the bold come-ons of 2007's Blackout, a commercial success but a critical letdown, may have given way to something softer and prettier. Don’t be fooled. Circus differs from Blackout in a number of ways, the most important being that 1) it keeps its ringmasters--i.e., its producers--in check instead of allowing them to run an overly sleek show, and 2) Brit brings it vocally here in a way she hasn’t since 2003’s In the Zone (check "Kill the Lights," on which she channels her mentor Madonna and the liquid-y "Blur"). Beyond that, Circus is, as its title promises, a Blackout-like spectacle. Which is not to say the songs being made under this particular big top aren't top quality. Those who pine for the pre-trainwreck Britney will warm to the suggestive but not outright slutty "Mmm Papi," and anyone who can't get enough of the embattled publicity magnet will eat up "Womanizer" and the title track. Spears--let's be honest--lacks acrobatic grace, at least under tabloid scrutiny. What's great about Circus is it proves she's still willing to jump through hoops to make likable, stylish music. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description
Circus is the seventh album by Britney Spears. It rolls into town on the heels of an MTV VMA awards sweep, where Britney walked away with three Moonmen awards for 'Video of the Year', 'Best Female' and 'Best Pop Video' for 'Piece Of Me'. Circus is the follow up to her critically well received album, Blackout, just in in time for her 27th birthday. The lead single, 'Womanizer' (produced by the up and coming Atlanta production team The Outsyders) has already created a frenzy amongst Britney fantaics, radio and the media alike-underscoring Britney's continued reign as one of the Queens of Pop.

 Circus Shines January 8, 2009
F. LeJeune (DFW, Texas USA)
The tracks on this album are what music is all about: Diversity, range, maturity, entertainment, fun, with a raw ballad titled 'My Baby' that doesn't get any closer to the human heart than this ballad does.
It's extremely difficult to consider this album a come-back album for Britney Spears given 'Blackout' is a good album with relentless merit that shouldn't have been based solely on one less than stellar performance. Notwithstanding, 'Circus' is her best album to date that appears to appeal to various age groups without bounds; especially to many of us occupying Club40. Besides, when parents you work with tell you they've had to purchase a second album for themselves because their kid(s) have their own favorite tracks they want to repeatedly play, that says much about the quality of 'Circus.' Same holds true within my own household.
Again, the ballad 'My Baby' will deeply touch men and women alike who can and do appreciate the symbolism and reflection Britney embraces as both parent and performer on this incredibly beautiful ballad.
Best...
better job January 8, 2009
Heather L. Hollister (Las Vegas, NV)
this is much better than her last CD. It seemed like she spent more time on the work, and tried to develop each song instead of just putting out one song that sounds just like the past song. It is definately light pop, but I was pleased with this CD.

The person I gave this to was a big Britney fan and was very excited, but when she listened to it- she said her other CDs are better.
