Britney Spears' new song,"till the world ends" was released this morning and considering that the song was co-written by Ke$ha (a sorry excuse for a musician), I'd have to give her an 8 for effort and a 10 for making it a sure club-hit. While the song does remind me a little of Ke$ha's style, it is by far a million times better than "Hold It Against Me." Can I say that again? It's a MILLION TIMES BETTER!
The new song only has two verses and the rest is chorus, chorus, chorus.
Okay, this is off subject but what I just wrote reminded me of a part in the movie, "Trick" where Perry gives Gabriel advice on removing a verse from a song Gabriel had written...
Perry - Honey, get it out of there. Just go to the chorus. That's the fun partGabriel - But what about all the setup?Perry - Gabriel! Songwriters have been doing the verse-chorus thing forever. It's tired. Be a maverick. What's the function of a verse? To kill time till we get to the chorus. During the verse, we wait. We are waiting for the chorus. Just give us what we want. Chorus, chorus, chorus!
And it's true, Britney has given you what you've wanted. The question is... can Britney bring on the style and energy this song delivers and make it into an amazing live performance and awesome music video?

I will go listen to it right now with an open mind as much as I can considering it's writer. Now let's go get some CHORUS, CHORUS, CHORUS! Love it my love. Great movie memory.
OMG this is f*&king Ke$ney. It's catchy and probably will be a good club hit, but filled with no meaning and no thought unlike Mama Monster's "Born This Way." And here I was actually starting to love holding it against her. I think I actually like "Hold It Against Me" better than this one. It's not bad, but something tells me that Britney's glory days are coming to a close. When I hear something that really does her justice, I will give her credit, but until then, I'm still waiting for your next hit girl.
