Brit's "Blackout" Wipes Out

46. I'd imagine that if you check with other performers you'd find that they put a lot of time and effort into preparing for their performances to make them successful. Besides loads of practise and reherasals they take time to prepare their bodies and voices. They spend a hell of a lot of time in promoting their work, too. She can't just sit back, let herself go and depend on her previous success to sustain her career. The competition out there is tough and she has to keep working on herself if she wants to stay in that business.

48. Ya know im not a Britney fan, but the other day i was curious just to see so i listened to it on Napster... Its honestly pretty good. Its more mature than her teeny bopper crap. Thats just my two cents.

49. Regarding Britneys record sales....I realize she has sold in far greater numbers but if she sold 430,000 @ (I have no idea how much a CD costs) so let's say, $14.00, that would be a gross of over 6 Mil. How is that spread around?

Other "artists", have reps, handlers, managers, whatever that get a share. But Britney doesn't have anyone on her payroll except a driver and her "friends". So should she not at least get 35% of gross?

50. Oops, my earlier post said she is with Virgin Records...she's actually with Jive. Sorry.

51. My prediction......Jive will be dropping Britney from their roster. This was her last "required" CD under her contract with Jive.

I think that's just what Britney needs........to be BROKE. THEN KFED WILL GLADLY GIVE HER THE KIDS!!!!

52. Great that tmz is getting the word on listening to its BLOGGERS and starting to put Britney on the last colume on its last page instead of being the first thing we see when we log in and now is in the same breath as Boy George and Mil Cylus or whatever so great that we don't have to see Briney 1st anymore!

54. Am so GLAD AMERICA is SPEAKING through their pockets.

We must send a message, we will watch you and observe you ACTING LIKE A FOOL, but we WILL NOT contribute money to TRASH.

Then Maybe others will think twice and we won't be BOMBARDED with TRASHINESS, and have more balance in our MEDIA.

55. Actually with her recent behavior I don't think Britney even cared if her CD was a hit or a bomb

58. TO (#49), THE HIGHEST PAID ARTIST PER CD ARE ( SIR PAUL & MADONNA), WHO ARE PAID AT THE RATE OF ($2.20 US DOLLARS), PER CD. BRIT IS MOST LIKELY AT ( $1.25 MAX.). THE ARTIST GET (RIPPED -OFFED), AS PER CD, THEY MAKE THERE MONEY, WHEN THEY TOUR. HER MANAGEMENT GETS PAID FROM HER INCOME, NOT FROM THE GROSS, OF THE CD. AND REMEMBER SHE THEN HAS TO PAY TAXES ON THAT INCOME. THIS IS WHY SO MANY ARTIST ARE BROKE!!!!.SHE ALWAYS, HAD REALLY BAD MONEY ADVISERS, AND SHE IS IN TROUBLE NOW, WHETHER SHE KNOWS IT OR NOT, IT IS TRUELY ASHAME. BUT THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST IN THE RECORDING INDUSTRY!!!!!

59. First of all, there's a reason for no promotion. Could she have promoted it with
out her custody case pop up? Could she have gone on any talk show with out
people yelling, "Hey Britney why arn't you in california with your kids?" "Britney
you stink." or "Flash us Britney." or any other inslut you could think of. No one
would have given her any sort of respect.

I say it didn't help it. The downloads from the internet didn't help it thou it did
produce some hit singles and toped the download charts.

Others did well true, Yes they did promote it with adds runing on natural tv.
Mind you a while ago we wouldn't have heard about these sales because
of the billboard charts rules.

Because of Britney's year. people weren't expecting a multi platnum hit.
This has done as well as can be expected.
