    Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.

    Britney Jean isn't entirely awful, but it's pretty disappointing compared to her previous 4 albums. There a few good songs in here, namely Alien and Work B**ch, but the rest range from mediocre to painful.

In all honesty, I think some of the songs have potential to be great, but the generic EDM production and robotic autotune ruins most of it. I understand Britney has never been one to hide her autotune, but on this album it sounds completely shameless and annoying. At least I can say it's better than her other self-titled album, Britney.… Expand

    I thought this was a personal album, but isn't, I'm kinda disappointed about it. The sound is a good electronic and dance-pop. The lyrics is not the best thing. My fav: Tik Tik Boom.

    Britney Jean foi um dos piores erros de sua carreira. Por dois motivos: Falta de divulgação e falta de músicas boas. As melhores músicas são: Passenger,Alien,Chillin With You e Now That I Found You.

    "Work B**ch" was at first a disaster for me, then I liked it as a "club" song. Then I heard "Perfume" and thought "maybe she'll be more personal this time".

So yes, I wanted her to go back a few years, even if she can only go to 2008, because I think Circus is 1000x better. "Britney Jean" is weak and NOT worthy of a "princess" of pop.… Expand

    This album is the worst Career Spears.
    We want our princess back, not only does this woman "hits".
    Highlight for Perfume and Passenger.

    Britney teve que lançar o álbum com muita pressa devido a sua Residência em Las Vegas, o álbum não é o melhor de sua carreira, isso é evidente. O álbum é pessoal e foi feito com carinho para os fãs, todas as faixas são ótimas especialmente Work B**ch. O que estragou o álbum foi o Will.i.am. Os vocais de Britney na baladinha Perfume é impecável e mostra a bela voz que ela possui.

    An amazing Album by Britney Spears, trying different styles. It doesn't have as many hits as her other albums, but it sure contains great songs, like "Alien", "Tik Tik Boom", "Perfume" and "Work B*tch". If you like Electronic Pop and Ballads, this album is for you.

    I think the first song really defines the whole album. She sings with an 'Alien' voice in all the musics. Work harder **** This does not sounds like the Britney Spears I met, TBH this doesn't even sound like a truly singer. Giving a 1 because I guess she needs to eat tonight.

Honestly I think this is her laziest album - she does not focus on her range and power in her vocals. The rest of her songs are poor, average at best, for example, Now that I found you' is slightly average, other than these three songs, the rest are either average or terrible.

    Awful Eurotrash prefab beats dehumanized sadness. No idea, no fun, no lightness; just mechanical thumbing and gross sexual lyrics. One more time, was much better. The voice sounds like a robot sampled Britney and then played it. WTF! Where are the real melodies? Where is the real voice? Where is Britney?

    É um bom álbum, tem muito amor envolvido nele, mas não é tudo que Britney pode dar.
    A canção "Alien" é linda, tem uma boa história e refrão envolvente e chiclete. "Work B**ch" tão criticada e julgada como ruim, é boa, eu particularmente amo essa música. Apesar de Britney não esforçar vocais, tal música que pode ser cantada facilmente por qualquer um, mas é ótima para as baladas.

"Perfume" a baladinha romântica, fácil de cantar, tem um bom toque, mereceria ser sucesso. "It Should Be Easy (feat. Will.I.am)" Definitivamente a melhor coisa dessa música é o instrumental. "Tik Tik Boom (feat. T.I)" ótima, merece Twerk, merece ser single. "Body Ache", "Chillin' With You (feat. Jamie)" e "Til It's Gone" Meia Boca, a melhor chega a ser Til It's Gone. "Passenger" pra mim é uma das melhores músicas que deve ser single, e que deveria ter sido o segundo, substituindo Perfume. A introdução de "Don't Cry", a melhor faixa do álbum é perfeita, apesar de que deveria ter sido acrescentados mais alguns vocais da Princesa do Pop. Hold on Tight, Brightest Morning Star e Now That I Found You são boas, porém mereciam estar no Britney Jean, e não no Deluxe. Britney sempre foi a princesa do pop, apenas tem que se comportar como uma, porque só o nome dela é o suficiente para muita coisa.    … Expand

Overall, my excitement was ruined when listening to the album and I think she uses T.I. & Jamie Lynn's support to hide the fact that this album is just average. I am 50/50 about this album but I don't think Britney has shown her real personality yet. People are just giving this album five stars just because they like Britney personally. I really had high hopes for this album but this album doesn't even meet expectations of other average albums like 'ARTPOP' or 'PRISM'. Britney is slipping but I do praise her for the amount of input she had on this album. I just think this album was a little rushed and fails to show Britney's potential. I'm not sure how you will feel when buying this album but it's your opinion that matters. Just remember that Britney Spears' album was slammed by critics.
    On a high side, The highlights were Alien, Work B**ch, Passenger & Now That I Found You. Alien was really unique and was nothing like I ever heard before. The songs I enjoyed the most were Passenger & Now That I Found You (which are on loop on my phone) as I praise the song instrumentally and lyrically.
    I'm being quite generous of my rating on this album as I think this album deserves an overall rate of 50%. But this album does match Britney's personality and is not that personal at all. Next time Britney, tell will.i.am to stay far away from your music as possible in the future (he is the one to blame!!!!)    … Expand

    Incredibly, the album is really personal. The opening track "Alien" finds her crying at times she felt alone. "Perfume", "Till It's Gone" are deep as well. "Passenger" would be the PERFECT lead single, she hits notes no one would imagine and it is how pop-rock songs should be made.

It's quite sad when we see hardcore fans saying that this is exactly what they expected as "personal". This just represents 1% of all life experience of Britney. It's such a shame that the whole album promo was based on a "lie".

I was not too happy with the name of the album she's been hiding, the song choices she made were less pop-driven and handling too much pressure on the lack of production. No guest appearances on TV, no promotional campaigns, no nothing. I think the Queen of Pop just lost her balance and took a few steps backwards from where she has gone from the goddess of Total Request Live to selling millions of records and now...this? I only can imagine how this album doesn't have enough charisma as any pop album in 2013. Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez have dominated the charts very well this year. Britney, however, was on the verge of retiring and I think her fans are not too pleased on this album. So as disappointing as Lady GaGa's new album is concerned, Britney Jean is a big mess for Britney Spears. One of the worst new albums and name titles of 2013.… Expand

    If you haven't listened to it yet, don't even bother. Britney's vocals are, well, non-existent. She sounds like she was under duress while she was recording this album. Its a reluctant effort, not for individuals who are in search of a Pop record that really stands out from the rest [in a positive light]. The high levels of mediocrity are beyond shocking. Its trash.

    'Britney Jean' is a tuff, tuff album to honestly review. As a fan, I love the concept she went for here. I love that she's trying to get more personal, and change up her process a bit, because let's face it... her last two albums, she's just been on autopilot. 2008's 'Circus' marked a welcome return for Britney, and on the heels of 'Womanizer' topping the charts around the globe, the album'Britney Jean' is a tuff, tuff album to honestly review. As a fan, I love the concept she went for here. I love that she's trying to get more personal, and change up her process a bit, because let's face it... her last two albums, she's just been on autopilot. 2008's 'Circus' marked a welcome return for Britney, and on the heels of 'Womanizer' topping the charts around the globe, the album was a huge success. But let's be honest... as a record, it was all over the place. Had it stopped about 10 tracks in, you might have had a cohesive set, which lyrically synced up nicely to the title. BUT, at 13 tracks... it got a little bloated and stale towards the end. 2011's 'Femme Fatale' was a phenomenal dance record, chalk full of potential hits. 'Hold It Against Me' was the perfect Britney Spears track throwing out that inescapable dance vibe, with a killer lyrical hook that led it straight to #1. The only bummer AGAIN with 'Femme Fatale' though was that there wasn't a trace of Britney on it. Every song was handcrafted by a hit maker, and overall the album is a bit immature coming from a 30 year old mother of 2.

    Enter 'Britney Jean'. Clearly bored with the pop music scene, and wanting to take a bit more control, it's clear Britney definitely put quite a bit more effort into this disc then the last 2. 'Britney Jean' comes in at 10 tracks, a much shorter set than her previous 2, and the title is a great reflection of the disc. Though the "personal" content might not be all we'd hoped for, it's definitely much more input than we've gotten from Britney in years. What makes this record such a huge letdown though?? The ever present plague that is will.i.am.

    Will may make catchy music for radio, but has anyone noticed that he can't sell it to save his soul? Without Fergie and the Peas, Will's #willpower has utterly tanked. I fear the same is in store for Britney. While songs like 'It Should Be Easy', 'Work B***h', and 'Tik Tik Boom' are fun, will's production is immature and stuck two years ago in the club. He fails to really capture and release Britney's personality as it is TODAY.

    'Britney Jean' isn't without it's highlights though, and it's because of those highlights that I give it a 7 out of 10. I feel this album was a completely different direction for Britney than her past 2, and i'll give her the credit she's due. William Orbit kicks off the set with 'Alien', the sobering mid tempo where Britney sings about feeling alienated and alone, and finding the light in another's eyes. The lyrics are simple and beautiful, and the track is an honest reflection of Britney's turbulent breakdown and essential rebirth. I feel Orbit did a much better job capturing a piece of Britney. In addition, the Katy Perry and Sia penned 'Passenger' is a standout that finds Britney singing about letting go of her control and falling in love. It's a unique sound for Brit, and a complete right turn off the road of her previous music. 'Chillin With You' brings some more personal input, as well as the disc's closing ballad 'Don't Cry'.

    Throw some classic Britney in the form of standouts 'Body Ache' and 'Till It's Gone', and you've definitely got a decent evolution. The only bummer with this album is that it doesn't complete the evolution of Britney Spears. 'Britney Jean' should've been her 'Ray of Light'.... instead it heads in the right direction in spots, while desperately clinging to the club in others that makes the album sound in cohesive, and Britney still slightly lost.    … Expand

    Britney Jean is Britney Spears' weakest effort yet. I appreciate what she's trying to do, but at the end of the day who wants a ''personal'' Britney Spears album? It's generally quite boring, but the high points are ''Alien'', ''Perfume'' and ''Til It's Gone''.

Eu jurava que iria ser um album introspectivo, bem naquele estilo clássico. Mas, como tudo que diz respeito Britney passa longe do clássico, ela traz um álbum que um turbilhão, um tanto confuso, de sons e sentimentos... Se o resultado disso algo ruim ou bom, vai depender do gosto de cada um. Eu, particularmente, gostei de quase todo álbum... Seguem comentários track by track...

    1 Alien A versão demo, por incrível que pareça, melhor. Não sei porque mexeram nas notas de alguns trechos, pois fez soar estranho. A faixa, em si, tem uma levada muito gostosa, um tom introspectivo. Mas, no todo, extremamente enfadonha e sem grandes atrativos. Acho que demorarei a gostar realmente dessa música;
    2 Work EDM PERFEITA, SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITA! Melhor lead single não haveria pra esse cd;
    3 Perfume Que posso dizer??? Não a balada perfeita, mas uma perfeita balada da Britney. O instrumental fenomenal e, por vezes, soa grandioso, mas sem encobrir demais a voz suave da Britney;
    4 It Should Be Easy Acho que essa faixa tem Will.I.Am demais... Esse o seu defeito;
    5 Tik Tik Boom pop, twerk, modinha, engraçada, grudenta...;
    6 Body Ache bem produzida, mas falta alguma coisa... um bridge bombástico;
    7 Til It's Gone Se com Work a EDM soa quase crua, nessa faixa o pop se mostra bem mais presente em estrofes mais melódicas;
    8 Passenger Uma de minhas favoritas... Os vocais da Britney estão ótimos nessa faixa: a crescente de notas que ela faz a partir de 1m53s fenomenal. E o mais interessante que as sutis variações melódicas, prévias a cada repetição do refrão, faz essa música ganhar vários ápices que não a deixa, em nenhum momento, cansativa;
    9 Chillin' With You Detestei! E só ganhou uma estrela porque o refrão ótimo, nem parece ser dessa péssima música;
    10 Don't Cry Talvez escutando outras vezes, eu venha a gostar mais dessa música. Gostei da melodia, mas não curti a produção. Enfim, uma das mais fracas do cd;
    11 Brightest Morning Star Essa faixa tem um clima gospel que me agrada muito, principalmente no refrão. Além do mais, me lembra muito, só que com uma pegada bem mais atual, as músicas dos primeiros cd's da Britney;
    12 Hold On Tight Grandiosa. Introspectiva. Que produção! Não entendo como uma faixa tão tão tão boa não está na track principal. Ainda mais quando temos aquele feat. pavoroso na faixa 9;
    13 Now That I Found You Essa uma faixa que "parece mas não No início, parece ser uma midtempo, mas ela pipoca no refrão. Que bridge esse? FODA!;
    14 Perfume (The Dreaming Mix) Essa mixagem deu um clima mais introspectivo a música. Os violões no refrão ficarão ótimos!    … Expand

The album begins with Alien, song that brings to the audience an influence of Madonna's Ray Of Light, but the similarity ends there, cause Britney don't show the same knowledge as Madonna. In Britney's hit 3 she sings about a threesome, but now she seems do not like to share her love with another person, in her new single Perfume, and use metaphors that brings to our minds habits that animals do, like when she sing that she hopes that the another person smells her perfume, evocating the image of a dog pissing in his place to mark his own territory.
    Katy Perry write Passenger and clearly we can see that Britney took the song and change nothing, but actually it's not a surprise in her career. This time Britney let Dr Luke behind e brought with her Will I Am and David Guetta to the album but maybe was more interesting to her don't change her team.

Britney shows that you can do up-tempo songs with personal lyrics and emotion, like we can clearly see on Til' it's Gone, her best track since Toxic.

    It's the same old thing, which is weird since Britney said it would be a personal album, and ended up showing nothing but strong beats, edited voice and generic letters. Since 'Work to 'Don't Cry' is all soulless, uninteresting and uneventful. Fans will like (I think), but no new fan will arise from this work.

    The album opens with "Alien", a track about feeling alone and isolated with pulsating trance beats in the background. It's definitely one of the album's highlights. (Even if the demo was better) This is followed by "Work the lead single of the album and an EDM orgasm. Britney commands the listener to work if they want to enjoy all the fine things life has to offer. It's one of my personal favorites. Perfume, the second single and a gorgeous power ballad follows. Britney gives one of her best vocal performances since her early work. However, this track should've been towards the end of the album, because primary tracks of Britney Jean are more dance-oriented, and Perfume ruins that flow. Next is "It Should Be Easy", a track that features executive producer will.i.am. And although the track relies heavily on robotic vocals and dance beat, it's still rather enjoyable. The robotic vocals compliment the song, and somehow it works. We then get the T.I. collaboration "Tik Tik Boom", an urban influenced dance track that has Britney cooing about her sex needs. It's reminiscent of "I'm a Slave 4 U". This is then followed by "Body Ache", the complex sister of "Scream & Shout". It's your standard EDM track, not groundbreaking but it will get your blood flowing and your feet moving. Next we have "Til It's Gone", and EDM/dubstep track that isn't about clubbing or dancing provocatively but about losing someone and not realizing how much they meant until their gone. This concludes the dance-oriented portion of Britney Jean.

    "Passenger" opens the next chapter in the book of Britney Jean. It's a pop/rock track about letting go of the keys and letting someone else take the lead. It's taking a leap of faith, despite the risk of falling. It's also one of Britney's best vocal performances on the album. This is followed by "Chillin' With You", a collaboration with younger sister Jamie Lynn. It's a feel good anthem about being with the people you love and not having a care in the world. It's a strange track, but enjoyable nonetheless. "Don't Cry" concludes the standard edition of Britney Jean. It's reminiscent of something off 2001's "Britney".

    This first deluxe track we get is "Brightest Morning Star", a song about her boys and how even at her darkest moments, they still make her world bright. Possibly one of the most personal songs off the album. "Hold On Tight" is about being away from home and wanting to be with one's significant other. A beautiful and whimsical track. Next we have "Now That I Found You", a song about about rediscovering ones faith. It's an electro-ballad, that's chorus makes you want to just dance and sing. It's another feel good track off the album. The album concludes with "Perfume (The Dreaming Mix)", a raw and darker version of the album's second single.

    In all Britney Jean is all about having fun and feeling good. It's not her most groundbreaking album but it's still a strong pop album that is extremely enjoyable. The album is diverse, and mature, unlike her last effort "Femme Fatale". Critics might say that after the conclusion of "Britney Jean", we don't know really know Britney and I'd have to disagree with that. After the conclusion of Britney Jean, I realized Britney is just like any other woman, and that's how she wants to be seen. She feels lonely and insecure sometimes, she likes to have fun and feel good. She doesn't want her past struggles to define her. She's just a simple Louisiana girl. And for me, this makes the album more endearing. Britney Jean Spears maybe one of the world's biggest stars, but at the end of the day she's just like any of us.    … Expand

    This album is personal and commercial at the same time. It's the album of the year, definitely. It's Conceptual and personal... well, if you're looking for an autobiography album, Britney Jean is not the right album for sure.
    The best songs of the album are: Work Perfume, Tik Tik Boom, Til It's Gone and Chillin’ With You

    Surely the best album of 2013, and I don't think that just because I'm a fan of hers.

    This is disappointing.Why does she no longer sound like herself anymore?If she wants to be Madonna2.0,she needs to work harder on her music instead of creating some perfunctory pieces.

    Um album diversificado, pessoal, triste, alegre, dançante, qualquer um se encontra nesse album. Mais um grande album da Britney, um dos melhores, e grande destaque para Alien, Work e Til It's Gone, as melhores na minha opinião

    Britney Jean is nothing more than a mish mash that worked very well. Its changing melodies conquer the listener with the following curiosity: What Next?
    The unpredictable leaves the charming and attractive album, since the whistles of "Do not Cry", the seductive and raving beginning of "Alien" to "Tik, Tik, Tik" the maddening frantically, "Tik Tik Boom".

    Britney Jean and the best album released this year, why? As it is not the case, booklet, model, color, etc. and sales. And yes the feelings written on who composes the music cd, tenderness... As she said "this album was made for my fans" and I as a fan of hers tell BRITNEY JEAN AND THE BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR RELEASED! Loved it too!

    I think it is one of the worst works of Britney. It has some songs like "Alien" or "It Should Be Easy" that catch me at the first look but are quite normal, others are so bad. Femme Fatale is a masterpiece in comparation with this álbum. will.iam and Guetta are so good producers, but I think she shouldn't has worked in all songs with them, it didn't work.

    The alien, blank dead-eyedness of Britney Jean is frightening, because it feels like it’s all will.i.am trusts Britney with.

    Backed up by masters of electronica David Guetta, Diplo and Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, they all make sure to drop a storm of ugly, trite and utterly soulless EDM breakdowns and dubstep drops whenever they can.
