Just like a Circus


Britney's much hyped about come-back is going quite well.

Her 'Womanizer' single is still all over the charts however rubbish and 80's-lame it is.

Her next single 'Circus' (hence the album's name-sake track) is doing rather fine too.


Quite ingenius a song really.

For her to really get back on her feet, she went back to her roots and collaborated with Max Martin, the producer who made her big in the first place with songs like 'Baby one More Time' , 'Crazy' and 'Lucky' ; her well-known showy dance numbers.

The song obviously hints at her loose love life (if you're not intimidated by her star presence you could apparently hook up with her quite easily she says) , pop-star train wreck tendencies and the media swirl that she is.


And yet, brings focus to her favourite place and comfort zone, the dance floor. Where her narcissistic streak is rampant and sexy-wild.



Lyrics:

"There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl
Don't like the back seat, gotta be first

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show


I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

Let's go
A-a-aha
Let me see what you can do
A-a-aha
I'm runnin' this
Like, like, like like a circus
Yeah
Like a what?
Like, like, like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus"


The Britney we love to hate and hate to love is back... dancin.

If it ain't Sunday, it ain't Fab.

I need my bumb and grind.


Was with Ed on Saturday at St. James' PowerHouse after attending my bgff's wedding dinner.

After the closure of MOS , the queues at other clubs are long. Really long. Was trying to get into O-Bar and the queue was long too. I just couldn't wait. (Actually the turn-off crowd was the main reason I didn't want to be there. And No I don't want to elabo 'case I start a racial war here...)

To cut to the chase and back to the gist, we ended up in the longer queues of ST. James' PowerHouse.

In retrospect, I should have just headed straight back home and catch up on my beauty RAM-Cycle.


See, by 3 am, I was so bored by the suxy DJ that I just had to leave before I risk ending up in comatose.

Never happened before.

Well, the crowd is blah-blah-blah and the music though nice , is NOT FABULOUS.


Q... because if it ain't Sunday, it just don't cut it.

Vibrator



Terence Treat D'Arby, this multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning singer, composer and song writer has been largely out of the public eye.

But as I've mentioned before, a great artiste is always worth talking about once more.


Once a big recording artiste with Columbia records with albums like his debut solo album, 'Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby', released in 1987, is his best-known and, in commercial terms, most successful work. Itself having sold over 12 million copies to date, he's now under his own independent label (which means less budget for publicity and production) and a devout Buddhist (despite his Gay status).

He's now known by the name (on his ID officially at least) , Sananda Maitreya .

But other than his wildly successful debut album back in 1987, his other much talked about album is this : 'TTD's Vibrator' ( 1995. Sony Music).

On the cover , he's with Angel wings, cropped platinum hair, tight abs and all. Everything that screams 'Gay Pride'. And laudable at that. Nice.


Check out the track listing and there are great tracks of pop-rock matched to his charismatic vocals; songs like the lead track 'Vibrator', 'Supermodel (Sandwich)/ with Cheese', 'Read my Lips (I Dig your Scene)' and 'We Don't Have Much time Together'.


Just wanting to sample-quote a line from his song 'Supermodel' :
" Dress up to your thigh, you wear it very high
You walk by in a pig's eye
I'm a guy so I sigh
But you ain't shy
Besta besta best of all, you're Bi Bi Bi. "



All speak of a musician-singer who is very secure of himself.

The Emancipated MiMi

The Emancipation of
MiMi
: Mariah
Carey
.


The Emancipated
MiMi
: Mimi Bobeck from The Drew
Carey
Show; Kathy Kinney.


Both are voluptuous (although one more so than the other), permanently dolled-up ( never leave the house unless thy is covered with a ton of makeup), a spunkY attitude to bounce right back in times of pitfalls, and in their own ways, still pretty much hell bent to fit and yet fight against, social perceptions and stigmas.

Emancipated, indeed.

'Oh Mimi!!'
