Britney’s been in the UK this weekend, performing Womanizer on X Factor on Saturday. The performance was pretty lacklustre as she mimed along and just went through the motions with the dance routine. It wasn’t as bad as her 2007 VMA performance where she was listlessly stomped round the stage, like a confused lion in a cage. Having someone of Britney’s calibre on ITV on a Saturday is astounding, so I can forgive the below-par performance.
If the songs on Circus are anywhere near the quality of Womanizer this album is sure to be of a high quality. The whole concept behind the album also seems to be highly polished with Britney playing the part of the circus ringleader with a top hat and hot pants. Hot pants aren’t the typical ringleader attire but it’s Britney so she’s allowed. Although Blackout, Britney’s last album was impressive all the drama that surrounded her at that time overshadowed it. Now she has cleaned up her act, all the focus is going to be on her as an arist not just as tabloid fodder.

[...] As I pointed out earlier, Britney’s performance on X-Factor was somewhat lacklustre. However this doesn’t seem to be the general trend. Have a look at her on France’s Star Academy. It’s amazing, she’s even got one of those balls they had on Gladiators and a top hat! The dancing’s better, the miming’s better, hell the whole performance is better. Star Academy really puts the X-Factor in the shade when it comes to production values. [...]
