The Britney Spears "Circus" deluxe version includes a bonus DVD that features The Making Of Circus, the Womanizer music video and a special photo gallery. The deluxe version also includes a special collector's two sided poster.
Squint at the cover of Circus and it's easy to mistake Britney Spears for the flow-haired Jessica Simpson--an indication that the bold come-ons of 2007's Blackout, a commercial success but a critical letdown, may have given way to something softer and prettier. Don't be fooled. Circus differs from Blackout in a number of ways, the most important being that 1) it keeps its ringmasters--i.e., its producers--in check instead of allowing them to run an overly sleek show, and 2) Brit brings it vocally here in a way she hasn't since 2003's In the Zone (check "Kill the Lights," on which she channels her mentor Madonna and the liquid-y "Blur"). Beyond that, Circus is, as its title promises, a Blackout-like spectacle. Which is not to say the songs being made under this particular big top aren't top quality. Those who pine for the pre-trainwreck Britney will warm to the suggestive but not outright slutty "Mmm Papi," and anyone who can't get enough of the embattled publicity magnet will eat up "Womanizer" and the title track. Spears--let's be honest--lacks acrobatic grace, at least under tabloid scrutiny. What's great about Circus is it proves she's still willing to jump through hoops to make likable, stylish music. --Tammy La Gorce

Great CD!:
Very good CD overall. Filled with mostly upbeat songs that are great to dance to, but it also has 2 slow songs that are amazing as well. My two favorite songs off of the cd would have to be Out From Under and Rock Me In. I love the double sided poster and the DVD makes it seem more personal and also gives you a inside look on the making of the cd. Overall I am very impressed with this CD and I must say its one of her best yet! I would recommend this to everyone! :)
Amazing:
Circus is such an amazing album it totally blows away her last album, Blackout. Circus has emotion and personality something that Blackout totally lacked. This album shows that her music is making it's way back to the amazingness of her In The Zone album. Track ratings: Womanizer 9/10

When can I recieve my CD? It's been 1 month!!!!! It doesn't worth the price for the post
Love Britney!:
As soon as I got my CD I listened all the way through and was very happy! I liked every single track and it made me proud to be a fan. Setting her personal life aside, she is a great performer no matter what anyone says. I hope she keeps this up and continues on the right track and steals the spotlight once again!
