It's one of my favorites. That chorus is perfection.

[ahmed]

to be honest, ''Lace And Leather'' is my favorite song from DR.LUKE on the album, i like it more than ''Shattered Glass'' and the song ''Circus''.

''Lace And Leather'' is a great song, i love the electronic guitar part.

the song ''Circus'' is a good song, but it concentrate only on the dance beat and drum programming , sounds a bit like ''me against the music''.

''Shattered Glass'' is a very good song, but the repetition of the word glass is a bit annoying.

[Alex Martin]

tell me about an album that spend many weeks at those charts, and also is #1 in Billboard in 2008 , i don't think there is any, even if it happens these years it is very rare .

Do you know leona lewis?
Do you know AC/DC?

Nice to find someone who finally shares my opinion! Yes the intro of the chorus is the same in the 2 songs!

[Alex Martin]

Yeah,it's true sound similar to MATM.

Circus has sold 200k in its second week in the USA, which quite good, but the album is doing really bad in Europe as we discussed, and btw in Germany it fell from 9 to 24...

Lace and Lather is better than Circus?! , somebody's taste has changed!

Circus is a pure pop uptempo song, which reminded us of the old Britney, while Lace and Leather is 80's Madonna-inspired song!

I think the chorus of circus not is very good , the prechorus is amazing , very ABBA .
the chorus of lace and leather and shattered glass are better , it is a pity it be so short.

this is great news how the album is doing very well in USA.

i wish it did well in Europe too, but let's look at the good side , the worldwide sales of music these years are not as much as before for all the singers, including the biggest superstars.

and in Britney's case, yes she is one of the biggest superstars, but this big name has been accompanied by gossip and tabloid news in the last 2 years which crossed the lines and took the world's attention to another side away from her music, everybody was talking about her personal life not her music, her music was overshadowed by her personal life, i think that might be the reason that affected the sales in Europe.

i think what she achieved with ''Circus'' is great, huge success in USA is very good for her, this is the most important musical market.

[Alex Martin]

Don't worry Ahmed,now with the 3th single IUSA brit album will return on top of the chart everywhere.

[starstruck52]

Lace and Leather is 80's Madonna-inspired song!

No, it's Prince-inspired.

And Shattered Glass is supposed to be repetitive. "gla-EE-friend" has the potential to be the new "umbrella ella ella".

[*Sabine*]

Talking about the first single, I think we should do very soon what it will be. Shattered glass or If you seek amy are the most likely I think.

maybe that's the reason why i don't like this part.

i don't understand what is the songwriters point in making repetitive parts like that in the songs, maybe they think it will make the song catchy or something?!

Yes I think that's why, but for me it's not catchiness at all! On the contrary I think it's VERY annoying!

[starstruck52]

I want "Out From Under" to be the next single. She needs a ballad.
