Max Martin collaborating with Britney Spears again!!

[clabbelito]

Before I thought that it's better to realese ballad after "Circus", but now I think that Brit has risk to lose the wave of audience's attention releasing some other single. She needs a scandal now and she needs everyone to speak about do-you-know-what-actually-this-title-means, so it's gonna work not less good than for Katy.

Re-record is a big word for the thing they did. It's just a gross edit in which the "k" in "seek" is cancelled. 

[nshinnosuke]

Did she re-records the entire song or only the 'Seek' part?

[*Sabine*]

She didn't record anything. She's rehearsing for the tour right now. The song was only edited.

[Feelgoodlies]

She didn't record anything. She's rehearsing for the tour right now. The song was only edited.

Yes, that is the correct term I guess, the song has only been edited not re-recorded, I don't think it will be censored in most countries in Europe.

[*Sabine*]

Indeed, it shouldn't be censored in Europe. So yes, I guess it wasn't worth spending money to re record the song.

Hehe, yes, that's what I was speaking about.
Interesting do we have any chances to get some single edit different from album?

[*Sabine*]

The edit will only be for the radio. I hope they don't put that shit on the single.

[Rebecca]

I think they should release 2 singles - the edited one (clean) and the original one. I think they've done that with other singles if there's been some swearing. I'd buy the clean one too as it's funny. If U See Amy!

[*Sabine*]

I don't think they would release 2 different singles. At worst, the 2 versions on the single, along with the remixes.

[Alex Martin]

I want thje song soon on the radio,censored or not. That's all!!!!! 

[*Sabine*]

Oh by the way, I read that the single won't be released everywhere around the world. For example, Italy will be excluded! How come?

Parents TV Council Protests Britney Song



The Parents Television Council is warning parents and radio stations not to broadcast Britney Spears' "If U Seek Amy" because the organization believes it "would violate the broadcast indecency law" if aired between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Saying the title phrase quickly out loud produces a sound akin to spelling out the F-word, says PTC president Tim Winter. "There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy," he says of the track, the third single from Spears' new Jive album, "Circus."

"It's one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it's an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly-owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience," Winter says.

Founded in 1995, the PTC describes itself as "a non-partisan education organization advocating responsible entertainment." Jive was unavailable for comment on the PTC's advisory.

The controversy isn't stopping U.S. radio from playing "If You Seek Amy." Six top 40 stations have the song in rotation this week, enough to place the track at No. 92 on the Billboard Pop 100. Leading the pack is WFLZ-Tampa, Fla., which has played it 19 times.

"We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines," PD Tommy Chuck tells Billboard.com, adding that WFLX plays not only a Jive-created edit of the song that changes "Seek" to "See" as well as a jokey version where morning host MJ shouts his name every time the word "Amy" appears.

Digitally, "Amy" has sold 107,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

the song will be a masterhit

*Smells some scandal*

Am I mistaken or things are going exactly the way they were planned?? I mean, come on, Jive knew that and would have already changed the 3rd single if it bothered them! But with Britney, it's all the time the contrary...the more she's criticised and bothered, the better for her sales!
