Parents need to know that Britney Spears manages, once again, to come across as explicitly sexual in a dozen tracks devoted to self-absorption. Lyrics stick solidly in the "I'm hot and you better want me" territory, with lines like "If I get on top you're gonna lose your mind" or "Can you rise to the occasion? I'm patiently waiting/'cause it's getting late and I can't get enough/So let me get it up" -- as the pop star tries to bump and grind her way into both our hearts and our trousers.
Positive messages:Brit's single-minded interest in sexual pursuit and attraction seems a tad myopic.
Sex:Steamy innuendo about getting naked, showing off your sexy body, and encouraging a guy to "rise to the occasion" with simpering flirtiness and lots of heavy breathing.
Language:The "f" word is used once or twice. "Bitch" opens the album.
Consumerism:No obvious product placement (CD packaging not available for review).
It has gotten two uses of strong language which are actually bleeped out (the BBFC's bad language label). It uses mostly some mild language. They would label it as occasional mild for sexual content and infrequent strong for language. It would for them be on for 12 if it was their site. That's my opinion. Great Album though!
I really don't care what people think about Britney Spears. I believe that it is the public that destroyed her. She has a great voice and some people just can't face it that she is and will always be the princess of pop music. This is a great CD die hard Britney fans: BUY THIS you won't be disapointed.
Britney's favorite term is "sex", and one song is called "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)". Also, "Gimme More" begins with a muffled Britney voice saying "it's Britney, b__ch", and one song says "I'm a crazy motherf__ker".
i like her music.
but none of them are as good as circus.
that cd rocks.
but with some of the songs i feel a little uncomfortable so i go to the next one.
britney takes the pole.
b**ch opens up the album and language like pissin me off and f--k is used a couple times. Sex is a huge issuse if you buy this CD. Gimme More has a lot of sexual dialouge throughout the song. Many other songs have pervasive heavy breathing and the electro beats are sexual in a few of the songs. In the music video for gimme morebritney is in a strip club and is stripping and dancing very sexually like every stripper does. Drinking in the video is used. Britney is back and behaves very sexually, unlike she would in her other albums. At the Video Music Awards she is filled with sex with gimme more dressing very skinpy. Kids that are 14 and older should get this CD. It is very enjoyable to listen if you are a teen.
This CD is probably equivalent to an adult porn movie. Everything is about sex, sex, and more sex. I wouldn't recommend it to kids or adults. This album is a great example of what our music industry has become: a money-focused industry that uses the exploitation of women and the glamour of drugs, sex and money to entice and even young children. Is this right?
Brit's comeback is awful. It's just about the same old topics she likes to talk about. Sex and how hot she is. Plus, she has no talent. You're wasting you're money by buying this. Aren't I right?
The CD is amazing and she actually seems to sing on some of the songs. This is probably Brit Brit's best cd. Piece of Me and Heaven on Earth are really good dance songs. Gimme More is repetitive like the Common Sense Review states, but still good. My 13 year old neice loves the cd and is a mature 13 year old & realizes some of it is over the top. Wouldn't recommend it to kids that aren't that mature. Although, I disagree with Kathi Goldmark--a kid's alternative won't be found in Aretha.
Blackout is a good CD. It has catchy tunes, but the messages are all about the same things over and over, how hot and sexy Britney is. For parents, "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)" really is as bad as it gets. The other songs are somewhat suggestive but I think "Get Naked" tops it all. If you want some catchy tunes, buy Blackout, if you're concerned about the suggestiveness of the CD, don't buy it. Really know your kid before you buy it or just listen to it.
Sexual Content: "Get naked" is as bad as it gets. Violence: Not an issue. Language: Just a few a--es and one b--ch. Not an issue. The rest is all clean!!!
This album is awesome!!! For sure get Gimme More, Piece Of Me, Radar, Break the Ice, Get Naked, Freakshow, Toy Soldier, Hot As Ice, and Perfect Lover!!! They are the best I think!!!
