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
Album Description
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.
Album Description
Deluxe edition include DVD. Circus is the seventh album by Britney Spears. It rolls into town on the heels of an MTV VMA awards sweep, where Britney walked away with three Moonmen awards for 'Video of the Year', 'Best Female' and 'Best Pop Video' for 'Piece Of Me'. Circus is the follow up to her critically well received album, Blackout, just in in time for her 27th birthday. The lead single, 'Womanizer' (produced by the up and coming Atlanta production team The Outsyders) has already created a frenzy amongst Britney fantaics, radio and the media alike-underscoring Britney's continued reign as one of the Queens of Pop.

 Great CD! January 6, 2009
P. Jordan (St. Louis, MO USA)
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 January 6, 2009
M. Caputo
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.

Love Britney! December 31, 2008
S. Miller (Denver,CO)
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!
 The Circus Is Back In Town December 30, 2008
Bryan A. Pfleeger (Metairie, Louisiana United States)
Say what you will about Britney Spears' career and personality but you must admit that she makes catchy music. Circus does not disappoint. The album moves smoothly from pop dance numbers (Womanizer,Shattered Glass,If You Seek Amy, MMM Papi) to soulful ballads (Out from Under,My Baby). This is easily Ms.Spears best record in more than a few years and with the public spectacle that her recent lfe has become she really deserves the good press that will be generated by this record.
The Deluxe Edition features a bonus disc that contains a 10 minute making of the Circus album featuring interview segments about working with various producers and the importance of dance in her life. Also included is the director's cut of the video Womanizer and a very short photo gallery.
This album is worth checking out.
