Editorial Review:
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.
Description of Circus:
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
Circus Reviews:
GREAT COMEBACK BRITNEY 
2009-10-23 - this album was amazing for a comeback album. every song is truly at heart with britney. her song out from under,circus,my baby,womanizer and if u seek amy are my favorite. GLAD UR BACK BRITNEY<3
britney comes back into the spotlight... 
2009-10-22 - after a disastrous year, britney comes out on top with circus. she starts to become her normal self again. with this album, there are more ballads while blackout was filled with fun dance theme music. circus is a good album but it kinda falls short with blackout.
1) Womanizer-[pretty catchy single. "womanizer..womanzier...oh you're womanizer...you you you are...womanizer...womanizer...boy don't try to front, i know just as what you are". 5/5
2) Circus- it's a fun song to dance to. 5/5
3) Out From Under-a great ballad on the album where britney actually sounds good. i could actually feel the sadness in this song. 5/5
4) Kill The Lights-i got uncomfortable when they declared her the legendary "Queen Of Pop". i still feel that title belongs to Madonna but i like this song. 5/5
5) Shattered Glass- good song...all i can say. 4/5
6) If U Seek Amy- average song with average beats. 3/5
7) Unusual You-this is really nice, i really like the beats. 5/5
8) Blur- another average song....i like the beats. 3/5
9) Mmm Papi- i'm not gonna lie...at first i didn't like this song at all. after listening to it the second time, it grew on me. the song is pretty cute. i really like the retro 60s sound in the background. 4/5
10) Mannequin- this is my most favorite song on the album. it's so addicting but i don't like the weird voice in the background tho. 5/5
11) Lace And Leather- this song has prince written all over it. 5/5
12) My Baby-not really my favorite and i consider this a filler. 1/5
13) Radar-this song came from Blackout. it's a cool song with 80s beats. 5/5
Britney in her Best Sound
2009-10-22 - i dont have much to say exept - Britney is getting more creative, talented, and more in every level every year.
Ppl r never tired of her cus she proves in everything that she do that she is THE BEST.
I Just love her!
i saw her in london in June and she was MORE IN EVERY WAY~!
Love U B, Keep the Hits Coming!
btw- my fave in this album are Shattered Glass and Amnesia
Actually Enjoyable
2009-10-19 - I was never a fan of Britney's music although found her to be a great dancer and entertainer. I've never owned a single Britney CD or single, just didn't like her music. I bought this CD after hearing some of the new songs on the radio and actually really enjoyed the CD. It has energy and is light-hearted and fun.
Joining the circus!
2009-10-13 - This CD came to me in "like new" condition. I make no comments on Britney's dancing skills. But on this CD she SOUNDS very spunky and lively, and her timing is spot on. Recommended for all of Britney's fans . . . of which I am now one.
